Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Joab was told, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”
1Fwackyang nu sel Joab lah Tokosra David el tung ac arulana asor kacl Absalom.
2The victory that day was turned into mourning among all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”
2Ke ma inge, enganak lun mwet mweun nukewa lal David ke sripen kutangla lalos in len sac, ekla nu ke asor ac supwar, mweyen elos lohng lah tokosra el arulana asor ke wen natul.
3The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
3Elos mahsrikyak nu in siti ah, oana luman mwet mweun su ac mwekin elos fin kaing liki mweun uh.
4The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”
4Tokosra el nokomla mutal ac tung ke pusra lulap, “We, wen nutik! Wen nutik, Absalom! Absalom nutik!”
5Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants who today have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;
5Joab el som nu lohm sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Misenge kom arulana akmwekinye mwet lom, aok elos su tuh molikomla oayapa molela wen nutum, acn nutum, mutan kiom ac mutan kulansap kiom.
6in that you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and we had all died today, then it would have pleased you well.
6Kom lain mwet su lungse kom, ac akkeye mwet su srungekom! Kom arulana akkalemye lah mwet pwapa lom ac mwet mweun lom wangin sripalos nu sum. Nga liye tuh kom lukun arulana engan misenge funu Absalom pa moul a kut nukewa misa.
7Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by the LORD, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”
7Inge, fahla ac sang kutu kas in akkeye insien mwet lom an. Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah kom fin tia oru, na lututang wangin siefanna selos ac fah wi kom. Ma koluk se inge ac tuh alukela ma koluk nukewa ma sikyak nu sum in pacl oemeet me nu misenge.”
8Then the king arose and sat in the gate. The people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
8Na tokosra el tukakek ac som muta apkuran nu ke mutunpot in siti ah. Mwet lal ah lohngak lah el oasr we, na elos nukewa som muta yorol. In pacl se ingan, mwet Israel nukewa folokla tari nu yen selos kais sie.
9All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
9In facl sac nufon elos mutawauk akukuin inmasrlolos sifacna ac fahk, “Tokosra David el molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr. El loangekutla liki mwet Philistia, a inge el kaingla lukel Absalom ac som liki facl se inge.
10Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”
10Kut tuh mosrwella Absalom elan tokosra lasr, a anwuki el ke mweun. Na efu ku wangin mwet som srike in folokunulma Tokosra David?”
11King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house?
11Pweng ke ma mwet Israel elos fahk inge sonol Tokosra David, na el supwalla Zadok mwet tol, ac Abiathar in siyuk sin mwet kol lun Judah, “Efu ku in kowos pa etok in folokunulla tokosra nu in lohm sel?
12You are my brothers. You are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’
12Kowos sou luk. Kut srah sefanna ac ikwa sefanna. Efu ku in tuh kowos pa etok in folokinyume an?”
13Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually instead of Joab.’”
13David el oayapa sap elos in fahk nu sel Amasa, “Kom sou luk. Nga sulekomla in aolulla Joab kol mwet mweun luk ingela. Lela LEUM GOD Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia oru oana nga fahk uh!”
14He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man, so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
14Mwet Judah nukewa elos arulana insewowo ke kas lal David inge, ac elos sapla nu yorol elan foloko wi mwet pwapa lal nukewa.
15So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
15Ke tokosra el folok ah, mwet Judah elos tuku sonol ke Infacl Jordan. Elos tuh tuku nu Gilgal in atlol ke el tupalla infacl ah.
16Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
16In pacl sacna, Shimei mwet Benjamin, su wen natul Gera mwet Bahurim, el sulaklak som nu Infacl Jordan in osun nu sel David.
17There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.
17El us sie tausin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin welul. Ac Ziba, mwet kulansap lun sou lal Saul, el oayapa tuku wi wen singoul limekosr natul ac longoul mwet kulansap, ac elos sun Infacl Jordan meet liki tokosra.
18A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had come over the Jordan.
18Elos tupalla infacl ah in atlol tokosra ac sou lal ah, ac in oru ma nukewa ma tokosra el ac lungse elos in oru. Ke tokosra el akola elan tupalla infacl ah, Shimei el putati nu infohk uh ye mutal,
19He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
19ac fahk, “Leum luk, nunak munas mulkunla ma koluk nga orala ke len se kom tuh som liki Jerusalem. Nimet nununkeyu, ku sifil nunku kac.
20For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”
20Nga sifacna etu lah nga orala ma koluk se, pa sis nga pa mwet se emeet sin sruf in acn epang in tuku osun nu sum misenge.”
21But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”
21Abishai, wen natul Zeruiah, el kasla fahk mu, “Fal in anwuki Shimei, mweyen el tuh selngawi el su LEUM GOD El sulela tuh elan tokosra.”
22David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”
22Tusruktu David el fahk nu sel Abishai ac Joab, tamulel lal ah, “Su siyuk nunak lomtal an? Ya komtal ac orek lokoalok nu sik? Inge nga pa tokosra lun Israel, na wangin mwet Israel ac fah anwuki misenge.”
23The king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” The king swore to him.
23Na el fahk nu sel Shimei, “Nga wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah tia anwuki.”
24Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
24Na Mephibosheth, wen nutin natul Saul, el tufokla in osun nu sin tokosra. El tuh tiana olla nial, ku nawela alut lal, ku olla nuknuk lal ah oe ke pacl se tokosra el som liki acn Jerusalem nwe ke el kutangla foloko.
25When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”
25Ke Mephibosheth el tuku liki acn Jerusalem in osun nu sin tokosra, na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Mephibosheth, kom tuh tia wiyu som. Efu?”
26He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.
26El topuk, “Leum luk, kom kalem kac lah nga mwet ul se. Nga tuh fahkang nu sin mwet kulansap luk elan akoela donkey nutik ah ngan kasrusr fac wikomla, tuh el tiana orala.
27He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.
27El kaskas kikiap keik nu sum, leum fulat luk. Tusruktu kom oana sie lipufan lun God. Ke ma inge, oru ma kom nunku mu fal kom in oru.
28For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should appeal any more to the king?”
28Lukun fal tuh kom in uniya nufon mwet in sou lun papa tumuk ah, tuh pa kom tuh lela nu sik in wi mongo ke tepu lom uh. Wangin suwohs luk in siyuk kutepacna ma sum, leum fulat luk.”
29The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”
29Tokosra el topuk, “Kom tia enenu in sifilpa fahk kutena ma, mweyen nga wotela tari lah kom, ac Ziba, pa ac tukeni ipeis ke acn lal Saul uh.”
30Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”
30Ac Mephibosheth el topuk, “Lela Ziba elan eis lal nufon. Nga tia enenu kutena ma sayen lah kom foloko nu acn sum uh ke wo ouiya.”
31Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king to conduct him over the Jordan.
31Barzillai mwet Gilead, el oayapa tufoki Rogelim me in tuh atlol tokosra ke el tupalla Infacl Jordan.
32Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
32Barzillai el arulana matu. El yac oalngoul. El arulana kasrup, ac el tuh sang mwe mongo nun tokosra ke pacl el muta Mahanaim.
33The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”
33Tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Fahsru wiyu som nu Jerusalem, ac nga ac fah karingin kom.”
34Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
34Tuh Barzillai el fahk, “Nga ac tia moul paht. Mwe mea ngan wi tokosra som nu Jerusalem?
35I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
35Nga sun yac oalngoul tari, ac wanginna ma nga sifil engan kac pacl inge. Nga tia ku in ema ma nga kang ac nim, ac nga tia ku in lohng pusren mwet on. Nga ac tuh akkemkatuye kom, leum luk.
36Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
36Nga kupansuwol nu ke kulang lulap lom uh. Tari, nga ac wi kom na alukela infacl ah kutu srisrik,
37Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”
37na nga siyuk nga in folokla nu lohm sik ah, ac misa apkuran nu ke kulyuk lun papa tumuk ac nina kiuk. Wen se nutik pa inge, Chimham. Eisal in wi kom tuh elan kulansupwekom. Kom fah oru nu sel oana ma kom lungsum, leum fulat luk.”
38The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”
38Tokosra el topuk, “Nga ac usal elan wiyu, ac oru nu sel oana ma kom lungse. Oayapa nga ac oru nu sum kutena ma kom siyuk.”
39All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
39Na David ac mwet lal nukewa tupalla Infacl Jordan. El ngok mutal Barzillai ac sang kas in akinsewowoyal, na Barzillai el folokla nu yen sel.
40So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
40Ke tokosra el tupalla Infacl Jordan wi mwet Judah nukewa ac tafu sin mwet Israel su atlol, el fahsr nu Gilgal, ac Chimham el welul.
41Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”
41Na mwet Israel nukewa som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Leum lasr, efu ku mwet Judah wiasr elos tuh nunku mu oasr suwohs lalos in eiskomla ac atol kom ac sou lom ac mwet lom ke kowos tupalla Infacl Jordan?”
42All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”
42Na mwet Judah elos topuk ac fahk, “Kut oru mweyen tokosra el sie sesr. Na efu ku ma se inge in aktoasrye kowos? El soenna moli mwe mongo nasr, ku ase kutena ma nu sesr.”
43The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
43Mwet Israel elos fahk, “Oasr suwohs lasr pacl singoul yohk liki suwohs lowos kacl Tokosra David, el finne sie suwos. Efu kowos ku pilesrekut? Nimet kowos mulkunla lah kut pa sramsramkin meet in folokinyukme tokosra uh!” Tusruktu pusren mwet Judah arulana upa liki pusren mwet Israel ke akukuin se inge.
