1 Sa:miuele 14
1 Eso afaega Yonada: ne da ayeligi amo da ea gegesu liligi gagagula ahoasu, ema amane adoi, “Anisu Filisidini ilia ha wa: i fisisu amoga ahoa: di” Be Yonada: ne da eda Soloma hame adoi.
One day Jonathan, son of Saul, said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the Philistine garrison on the other side.” But he didn't let his father know his plans.
2 Solo da Migalone sogebi (Gibia moilai gadenenewane) amoga ‘bomegala: nide’ ifa hagudu esalu. Dunu 600 agoane da e fisili esalu.
Saul was staying near Gibeah under a pomegranate tree in Migron. He had about six hundred men with him,
3 Gobele salasu dunu amo da ‘ifode’ gaguli ahoasu amo da Ahaidia. E da Igabode ea ola Ahaidabe amo ea mano. Ahaidabe da Finia: se, Ilai (Hina Gode Ea gobele salasu dunu Siailou moilaiga esalu) ea mano amo ea aowa galu. Dunu ilia da Yonada: ne da asi dagoi amo hame nabi.
including Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was a son of Ichabod's brother Ahitub, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, priest of the Lord in Shiloh. No one realized Jonathan had left.
4 Yonada: ne da Fisilidini ha wa: i fisisuga masusa: dawa: i. Amoga ahoasu logo da Migema: se Adobo Gigiadofa Ahoasu. Amo ahoasu logoga, igi agesoi aduna la: idi la: idili dialebe ba: i. Eno amo ea dio da Bousese, amola eno amo ea dio da Sine.
Cliffs stood on both sides of the pass that Jonathan planned to cross to reach the Philistine garrison, one called Bozez and the other Seneh.
5 Afae da ga (north) logo bega: amodili Migima: sega ba: legale danu, amola eno da ga (south) logo bega: amodili Gibaga ba: legale danu.
The cliff to the north was on the Michmash side, the one to the south on the Geba side.
6 Yonada: ne da goi ayeligi ema amane sia: i, “Ania da galuli Gode Ea hou hame dawa: Filisidini dunu ilia ha wa: i fisisuga ahoa: di. Hina Gode da ani fidima: bela: ? Ani da anisuba: le, mae dawa: ma. Hina Gode da ani fidisia, ani da dafawane ili hasalimu.”
Jonathan said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the garrison of these heathen men. Maybe the Lord will help us out. It's not a problem for the Lord to win, whether by many or by few.”
7 Goi ayeligi da bu adole i, “Dia da adi hamomusa: dawa: sea, na da ani galu hamomu. Na da dimagai lela!”
“You choose what you want to do,” the armor-bearer replied. “I'm with you whatever you decide!”
8 Yonada: ne da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ania da galuli giadofale gale, Filisidini dunu ilia da ani ba: ma: mu.
“Let's go then!” Jonathan said. “We'll cross over in their direction so they can see us.
9 Be ilia da anima ili misa: ne ouligima: ne sia: sea, ani da amogaiwane oulelumu.
If they tell us, ‘Wait there until we come down to you,’ we will wait where we are and we won't go up to them.
10 Be ilia da ani ilima masa: ne sia: sea, ani da ilima masunu. Bai Hina Gode da anima ili hasalima: ne, dawa: digisu olelesa, ania da dawa: digimu.”
But if they say, ‘Come on up to us,’ we'll climb up, for that will be the sign that the Lord has handed them over to us.”
11 Amaiba: le, elea da Filisidini dunu ilia ela ba: ma: ne odagi olei. Amola Filisidini dunu ilia amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Hibulu dunu oda da ilia wamoaligisu uli dogoi amodili maha.”
So both of them let themselves be seen by Philistine garrison. “Hey, look!” shouted the Philistines. “The Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in.”
12 Amalalu, ilia da Yonada: ne amola goi ayeligi elama amane wele sia: i, “Guiguda: misa! Ninia da alima adomu gala.” Yonada: ne da goi ayeligima, amane sia: i, “Na bobogema! Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu ilia Filisidini dunuma hasalima: ne logo doasi dagoi.”
The men from the garrison called down to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up here, and we'll teach you a thing or two!” “Follow me up,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the Lord has handed them over to Israel.”
13 Yonada: ne da adobo logodili muguniga lobo ososa: heda: i. Amola ayeligi da e bobogei. Yonada: ne da Filisidini dunu doagala: le, fane sali. Amola goi ayeligi da ili medole legei.
So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. Jonathan attacked and killed them, and his armor-bearer followed doing the same.
14 Yonada: ne amola goi ayeligi da sogebi fonobahadi amo ganodini, dunu 20 agoane medole legei.
In this first attack, Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed about twenty men over an area of half an acre.
15 Filisidini dunu huluane amo soge ganodini esalu da bagadewane beda: gia: i. Fana ahoasu dunu amola dadi gagui dunu ha wa: i fisisuga esalu da beda: ga hesei. Gode da hamobeba: le, osobo da fogole amola dunu huluane da beda: ga bulila lafia: i.
Then Philistines went into a panic, in the camp, in the field, and throughout their army. Even those in the outposts and the groups of raiders became terrified. The earth shook—this was a panic from God.
16 Solo ea logo sosodo ouligisu dunu da Gibia moilai (Bediamini ea ouligi soge ganodini) amogai Filisidini dunu ilia beda: ga doula lafia: lebe ba: i.
Saul's lookouts at Gibeah in Benjamin saw the Philistine army melting away, scattering in all directions.
17 Amaiba: le, Solo da ea dunuma sia: i, “Ninia dadi gagui dunu idili ba: ma. Nowa da hameyale ba: ma!” Ilia da idili ba: loba, Yonada: ne amola ayeligi dunu amo da ea gegesu liligi gagusisu hame ba: i.
Saul told the soldiers with him, “Do a roll-call and find out who isn't here with us.” When they did the roll-call, they discovered that Jonathan and his armor-bearer weren't there.
18 Solo da gobele salasu dunu Ahaidia ema amane sia: i, “Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli misa. (Amo esoha Abaidia da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo Isala: ili dunuma bisili gaguli ahoasu.)
Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the Ark of God here.” (At the time the Ark of God traveled with the Israelites.)
19 Solo da gobele salasu dunu ema sia: daloba, Filisidini dunu ilia ha wa: i fisisu dadoula lafia: su da bagadewane alelasi. Amaiba: le, Solo da Ahaidiama amane sia: i, “Hina Godema adole ba: mu da dibi hame gala.”
But as Saul was speaking to the priest, the commotion coming from the Philistine camp grew louder and louder. So Saul told the priest, “Forget it!”
20 Amalalu, Solo amola ea dadi gagui dunu da mogodigili Filisidini dadi gagui dunu ilima doagala: musa: heda: i. Be Filisidini dunu da dadoula lafia: le, ili gobele gegei.
Then Saul and all his army assembled and went into battle. They discovered the Philistines were in total disarray, attacking each other with swords.
21 Hibulu dunu mogili da musa: hohonone, Isala: ili ha wa: i fisili, Filisidini dunu amogale gegei. Be amo dunu da sinidigili bu Solo amola Yonada: ne elama bu madelale gegei.
The Hebrews who had previously sided with the Philistines, and who were with them in their camp, switched sides and joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Hibulu dunu mogili Ifala: ime agolo sogega wamoaligili esalu, da Filisidini dunu da hobeabe nababeba: le, ilia wamoaligisu yolesili, Filisidini dunu doagala: i.
When all the Israelites who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were running away, they also joined in chasing after the Philistines to attack them.
23 Amo esoha, Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi gaga: i dagoi. Amola, ilia da Filisidini dunu se bobogelala, Beda: ifane moilai baligi.
On that day the Lord saved Israel, and the battle extended past Beth-aven.
24 Amo esohaga, Isala: ili dunu da ha: ga gasa hamedei galu. Bai Solo ea ili ha: i mae moma: ne, sema bagade ilegei. E amane sia: i, “Na ha lai ilima dabe i dagoiba: le fawane, bu ha: i moma.” Amaiba: le, amo esoha, Isala: ili dunu da ha: i hamedafa mai.
It was difficult for the men of Israel that day because Saul had ordered the army to take an oath, saying, “Cursed is anyone who eats anything before evening, before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So no one in the army had eaten anything.
25 Ilia da iwilaga mana ba: loba, agime hano bagade ba: i.
When they all entered the forest they found honeycomb on the ground.
26 Iwila da agime hano bagadedafa dialebe, be ilia da Solo ea ilima gasa bagade gagabusu aligima: ne sema ilegei amoma beda: iba: le, hamedafa mai.
While they were in the forest they saw the honey running out, but no one picked it up to eat it because they were all afraid of the oath they had taken.
27 Be Yonada: ne da eda ea sema ilegei amo hame nabi galu. Amaiba: le, e da ea galiamoga sone lale, agime diasu gelaba sone, agime hano mai.
But Jonathan hadn't heard that his father had ordered the army to take this oath. So he stuck the end of his stick into the honeycomb, picked up a piece to eat, and he felt much better.
28 Be dunu afae da Yonada: nema amane sia: i, “Ninia huluane da ha: ga gasa hamedei gala. Bai diada da nini beda: ma: ne gasa bagade sema ilegei. E da amane sia: i, “Nowa da wali eso ha: i nasea, amo dunuma da gagabusu aligima: ne dialumu.”
But one of the soldiers told him, “Your father made the army take a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed is anyone who eats anything today!’ That is why the men are exhausted.”
29 Yonada: ne da bu adole i, “Na ada da ninia fi dunu wadela: ma: ne giadofale bagade hamoi. Ba: ma! Na da agime hano maiba: le, hahawane wea!
“My father has caused a whole lot of trouble for everyone,” Jonathan replied. “See how well I am because I've eaten a little of this honey.
30 Ninia fi dunu da ha: i manu ilia ha lai ilima lai, amo hahawane manu da defea galu. Amaiyaba, Filisidini dunu eno bagohame medole legela: loba!”
It would have been so much better if only the army had eaten plenty today from the plunder taken from their enemies! How many more Philistines would have been killed?”
31 Amo esoha, Isala: ili dunu da Filisidini dunu hasali. Gegesu da Migema: se amogai muni, gegegena asili, A:idialone moilaiga doaga: i. Amogala, Isala: ili dunu da ha: ga bagadewane goaiya: igia: i.
After defeating the Philistines that day, killing them from Michmash to Aijalon, the Israelites were totally exhausted.
32 Amaiba: le, ilia da hehenaiya afia: le, ha lai dunuma sasamogei liligi lale, sibi amola bulamagau medole, maga: mena gahea mai.
They grabbed the plunder, taking sheep, cattle, and calves, and slaughtered them right there on the ground. But they ate them with the blood.
33 Dunu eno da Soloma amane adoi, “Ba: ma! Dunu ilia da Hina Godema wadela: le bagade hamosa. Bai ilia da ohe hu gahea nabeba: le.” Solo da bagade halale sia: i, “Dilia da hohonosu dunu! Gele bagade nama fefedogole guda: ma!”
Saul was told, “Look, the men are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.” “Law-breakers!” said Saul. “Roll a large stone over here right now!”
34 Amalalu, e da eno gasa bagade hamoma: ne sia: i, “Dunu gilisia amoga asili, ilia sibi amola bulamagau huluane guiguda: oule misa: ne sia: ma. Ilia da guiguda: medole moma: ne sia: ma! Ilia da Hina Godema bu wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, ohe hu gahea maedafa moma: ne sia: ma!” Amaiba: le, amogala gasia ilia huluane ilila: ohe amogai oule misini, medole lelegei.
Then he said, “Go around the soldiers and tell them, ‘Every man must bring me his cattle or his sheep and slaughter them here, and then eat. Don't sin against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.’” Everyone in the army brought what he had and slaughtered it there that night.
35 Solo da Hina Godema gobele salasu oloda hamoi. E da musa: afae hame gagusu, amo degabo gagui.
So Saul built an altar to the Lord. This was the first altar he had built to the Lord.
36 Solo da ea dunu fi amane adoi, “Ninia gasia gudu sa: ili Filisidini dunu doagala: le, ili huluane medole legele amola ilia liligi sasamogele lale, amananeawane hehebolo misa: mu.” Ilia da bu adole i, “Dia adi noga: i dawa: sea, amane hamoma.” Be gobele salasu dunu e da amane sia: i, “Ninia hidadea Godema adole ba: mu!”
Saul said, “Let's go and chase down the Philistines during night and plunder them till dawn, leaving no survivors.” “Do what you think best,” they replied. But the priest said, “Let's ask God first.”
37 Amaiba: le, Solo da Godema adole ba: i, “Na da Filisidini dunu amo doagala: la: dula: ? Di da ninia ilima hasalima: ne fidima: bela: ?” Be amogala Gode da dabe hame adole i.
Saul asked God, “Shall I go down and chase down the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel?” But that day God didn't answer him.
38 Amalalu, Solo da Isala: ili dunu ilia ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i, “Guiguda: misini, wali adi wadela: i hou hamobela: le, adole boba: ma!
So Saul gave the order, “All you army commanders, come here so we can investigate what sin has happened today.
39 Na da Hina Gode amo da Isala: ili fi hasalasu hou iaha, amo Ea Dioba: le, amane sia: sa. Nowa da amo wadela: i hou hamoi galea, ninia da medole legemu. Na mano Yonada: ne ea galea da e amolawane medole legemu.” Be dunu huluane da ouiya: i.
I swear on the life of the Lord who saves Israel, that even if it's my son Jonathan, he will have to die!” But no one of the whole army said anything.
40 Amalalu, Solo da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia huluane ga (south) la: diga aligima. Na amola Yonada: ne ania da gui aligimu.” Ilia bu adole ba: i, “Dia adi noga: i dawa: sea, amane hamoma.”
Saul told them all, “You stand over to one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the opposite side.” “Do what you think best,” the army replied.
41 Solo da Isala: ili Hina Godema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Di da abuliba: le na dima adole ba: i amoma dabe hame adole i? Isala: ili Hina Gode! Ninia sema igi aduna ba: sea, Dia amo bai ninima adole ima. Na o Yonada: ne da wadela: le hamoi galea, Iulimi igi amoga olelema. Be Isala: ili fi dunu eno da wadela: le hamoi galea, Damimi igi amoga olelema.” Amo adoba: su hamobeba: le, ilia Isala: ili dunu enoga hame, be Solo amola Yonada: ne ela fawane wadela: le hamoi ba: i.
Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Let the Thummin show.” Jonathan and Saul were identified, while everyone else was cleared.
42 Amalalu, Solo da amane sia: i, “Defea! Na o Yonada: ne ania galebeyale adoba: ma.” Amane hamone ba: loba, Yonada: ne hi da wadela: le hamoi ba: i.
Then Saul said, “Cast lots between me and my son Jonathan.” Jonathan was selected.
43 Amalalu, Solo da Yonada: nema adole ba: i, “Nagofe! Dia abuli hamoi!” Yonada: ne bu adole i, “Na da agime hano fonobahadi fawane mai. Na da wea! Na da bogomusa: momagele lela!”
“Tell me what you have done,” Saul asked Jonathan. “I just tasted a little honey with the end of my stick,” Jonathan told him. “Here I am, and I have to die.”
44 Solo da ema amane sia: i, “Ninia da di medole legemu! Be ninia da di hame medole legesea, Gode da na fane legemu da defea!”
Saul said, “May God punish me very severely if you do not die, Jonathan!”
45 Be Isala: ili dunu ilia da Soloma amane sia: i, “Yonada: ne da Isala: ili dunu ilia Filisidini dunuma hasalima: ne, logo noga: le doasi. Amaiba: le, e medole legemu da defea hame. Ninia da Esalalalusu Gode Ea Dioba: le gasa bagade ilegele sia: sa. E da dialuma hinabo afae hamedafa fisimu. Ea wali eso hamobe, e da Gode Ea fidibiba: le fawane hamoi.” Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da e gaga: iba: le, Yonada: ne da hame medole legei ba: i.
But the people told Saul, “Does Jonathan have to die, the one who achieved this great victory in Israel? Absolutely not! We swear on the life of the Lord, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground, for it was with God's help that he achieved this today.” The people saved Jonathan, and he didn't die.
46 Amalu fa: no, Solo da Filisidini dunuma sefasilalu yolesili, ilia da ilia sogedafa amoga buhagi.
Saul stopped chasing down the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own country.
47 Solo da Isala: ili fi ilia hina bagade ilegei amo fa: no e da ea ha lai huluane ilima gegenanu. Ea ha lai da Moua: be fi, A:mone fi, Idome fi, Souba hina bagade amola Filisidini hina bagade.
After Saul had made his hold over Israel secure, he fought against all his enemies all around: Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Whatever direction he went he defeated them all.
48 E da mae beda: ne, nimi bagadewane gegei. A: malege dunu da gasa bagade, be Solo da amo fi amola hasali. Dunu bagohame da Isala: ili dunuma doagala: musa: misi, be Solo da ea fi dunu gaga: i.
He fought bravely, conquering the Amalekites, saving Israel from those who plundered them.
49 Solo egefelalia dio da Yonada: ne, Isifi amola Ma: lagisua. Ea uda mano magobo lalelegei da Milabe, amola fa: no lalelegei mano da Miga: le.
Saul's sons were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. The names of his two daughters were Merab, (the firstborn), and Michal, (the younger one).
50 Ea uda dio da Ahinoua: me (Ahima: ia: se ea idiwi). Ea dadi gagui dunu ouligisu dunu da ea gawia A: bena (Solo ea ayama Ne amo egefe) galu.
The name of his wife was Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of Saul's army commander was Abner, son of Ner, and Ner was Saul's uncle.
51 Solo ea ada Gisa amola A: bena ea ada Ne, ela da A: ibele egefela.
Saul's father Kish and Abner's father Ner were sons of Abiel.
52 Eso huluane e da esalea, Solo da Filisidini dunuma gegesu bagadewane ba: i. E da habogala gasa bagade amola hame beda: su dunu ba: loba, e da amo dunu ea dadi gagui hamoma: ne ilegesu.
Throughout Saul's lifetime there was constant war with the Philistines. Saul recruited into his army every strong warrior and every brave fighter that he met.
