1 Samuel 11

1 Unya miadto si Nahas nga Amonihanon ug gialirongan ang Jabes Galaad. Ang tanang kalalakihan sa Jabes Gilead nag-ingon kang Nahas, “Paghimo ug kasabotan kanamo, ug moalagad kami kanimo.”

Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.

2 Mitubag si Nahas nga Amonihanon, “Makigsabot ako kaninyo sa kondisyon, nga lugiton ko ang tanan ninyong tuong mga mata, ug niini nga paagi mapakaulawan ang tibuok Israel.”

And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.

3 Unya mitubag ang mga kadagkoan sa Jabes kaniya, “Biyai kami sulod sa pito ka mga adlaw, aron nga makapadala kami ug mga mensahero sa tibuok dapit sa Israel. Unya, kung wala gayoy moluwas kanamo, itugyan namo ang among kaugalingon kanimo.”

Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.

4 Sa pag-abot sa mensahero sa Gabaon, kung asa nagpuyo si Saul, ug nagsugilon sa mga tawo kung unsa ang nahitabo. Ang tibuok katawhan mihilak sa makusog.

So they sent representatives to Saul's town Gibeah, and these gave the news to the people: and all the people gave themselves to weeping.

5 Karon nagsunod si Saul sa iyang mga baka gikan sa uma. Miingon si Saul, “Naunsa man kining mga tawo nganong nanghilak man sila?” Gisultihan nila si Saul kung unsa ang giingon sa mga tawo sa Jabes.

Now Saul came from the field, driving the oxen before him; and he said, Why are the people weeping? And they gave him word of what the men of Jabesh had said.

6 Sa dihang nadungog ni Saul ang ilang giingon, ang Espiritu sa Dios mikunsad kaniya, ug nasuko siya pag-ayo.

And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.

7 Gikuha niya ang pangdaro nga torong baka, ug gitadtad kini, ug gipadala niya kini sa mga mesahero ngadto sa tibuok ginsakopan sa Israel. Miingon siya, “Si bisan kinsa ang dili mogawas ug mosunod kang Saul ug kang Samuel, mao usab kini ang buhaton kaniya sama sa torong baka.” Unya nahadlok ang katawhan kang Yahweh, ug nanggula silang tanan ingon nga usa ka tawo.

And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they came out like one man.

8 Sa dihang gitigom niya sila sa Besek, ang katawhan sa Israel mikabat ug 300, 000, ug 30, 000 ang mga tawo sa Juda.

And he had them numbered in Bezek: the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

9 Gisultihan nila ang miabot nga mga mensahero, “Sultihi ninyo ang mga tawo sa Jabes Galaad, “Ugma, sa dili pa ang kaudtohon, pagaluwason kamo.” Busa milakaw ang mga mensahero ug gisultihan ang mga tawo sa Jabes, ug nangalipay sila.

Then he said to the representatives who had come, Say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is high, you will be made safe. And the representatives came and gave the news to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

10 Unya ang mga tawo sa Jabes miingon kang Nahas, “Ugma itugyan na namo kanimo ang among mga kaugalingon, ug mahimo mo na kanamo ang bisan unsa nga makaayo kanimo.”

So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.

11 Pagkasunod nga adlaw gibahin ni Saul ang mga tawo sa tulo ka bahin. Miadto sila sa tungatunga sa kampo sa pagkakadlawon, ug gisulong ug gipildi nila ang mga Amonihanon hangtod sa pagkaudto. Kadtong nakaikyas nagkatibulaag, busa walay tagduha nga nagkauban kanila sa pag-ikyas.

Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together.

12 Unya ang katawhan miingon kang Samuel, “Kinsa ba kadtong miingon nga, “Si Saul ba ang maghari kanato?' Dad-a kadtong mga tawhana, aron ato silang patyon.”

And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.

13 Apan miingon si Saul, “Walay usa nga pagapatyon karong adlawa, tungod kay karong adlawa giluwas ni Yahweh ang Israel.”

And Saul said, Not a man is to be put to death today: for today the Lord has made Israel safe.

14 Unya miingon si Samuel ngadto sa katawhan, “Dali kamo, moadto kita sa Gilgal ug bag-ohon ang gingharian didto.”

Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.

15 Busa ang tanang katawhan nangadto sa Gilgal ug gihimo nga hari si Saul sa atubangan ni Yahweh. Didto naghalad sila sa halad sa pakigdait sa atubangan ni Yahweh, ug si Saul ug ang tibuok katawhan sa Israel nagmaya pag-ayo.

So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.
