1 Samuel 11
1 Soon Nahash the Ammonite came up and laid siege to Jabesh-gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you.”
Sahp malem se tukun ma inge, Nahash, tokosra lun mwet Ammon, el us mwet mweun lal ac som kuhlusya acn Jabesh su oan in facl Gilead. Na mwet in acn Jabesh elos fahk nu sel Tokosra Nahash, “Orala sie oakwuk ku inmasrlosr, na kut fah orekma nu sum.”
2 But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you on one condition, that I may put out everyone’s right eye and bring reproach upon all Israel.”
Tokosra Nahash el fahk, “Nga ac oru oakwuk se inmasrlosr, tuh meet liki, nga ac tipalla atronmotowos layen layot tuh in mwe akmwekin nu sin mwet Israel nukewa.”
3 “Hold off for seven days,” replied the elders of Jabesh, “and let us send messengers throughout Israel. If there is no one to save us, we will surrender to you.”
Mwet kol lun mwet Jabesh elos fahk, “Soano len itkosr tuh kut in supwalik kas nu fin acn Israel nufon. Fin wanginna mwet ku in kasrekut, na kut ac fah filikutwot nu inpoum.”
4 When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and relayed these words in the hearing of the people, they all wept aloud.
Na ke mwet utuk kas elos tuku nu Gibeah, acn ma Saul el muta we, ac fahkak ma inge, mwet uh mutawauk tung ac asor.
5 Just then Saul was returning from the field, behind his oxen. “What troubles the people?” asked Saul. “Why are they weeping?” And they relayed to him the words of the men from Jabesh.
Ke pacl se inge Saul el tufahna folok inimae me, wi cow natul, ac el siyuk sin mwet uh, “Mea se? Efu ku mwet uh tung?” Na elos fahk nu sel ma mwet Jabesh elos fahk ah.
6 When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he burned with great anger.
Ke Saul el lohng ma inge, ngunin God tuku ke ku nu facl ac el arulana foloyak.
7 He took a pair of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent them by messengers throughout the land of Israel, proclaiming, “This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who does not march behind Saul and Samuel.” Then the terror of the LORD fell upon the people, and they turned out as one man.
Saul el eis lukwa cow uh ac sipsipikya nu ke ip srisrik pukanten, ac sang mwet utuk kas in usalik nu in facl Israel nufon. Ac elos akkalemye nu sin mwet nukewa, fahk ouinge, “Kutena mwet fin tia welul Saul ac Samuel nu ke mweun uh, ac fah orek ouinge nu ke cow natul uh!” Mwet Israel elos sensen ke ma LEUM GOD El ac oru uh, pwanang elos nukewa fahsreni ke inse sefanna.
8 And when Saul numbered them at Bezek, there were 300,000 Israelites and 30,000 men of Judah.
Pisen mwet su toeni nu yorol Saul in acn Bezek, oasr tolfoko tausin mwet Israel ac tolngoul tausin mwet Judah.
9 So they said to the messengers who had come, “Tell the men of Jabesh-gilead: ‘Deliverance will be yours tomorrow by the time the sun is hot.’” And when the messengers relayed this to the men of Jabesh, they rejoiced.
Ac elos fahk nu sin mwet utuk kas Jabesh me, “Kowos som ac fahk nu sin mwet lowos an lah meet liki infulwen len lutu, elos ac fah moliyukla.” Ke mwet Jabesh elos lohng kas inge, elos engan ma lulap,
10 Then the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Tomorrow we will come out, and you can do with us whatever seems good to you.”
ac elos fahk nu sel Tokosra Nahash, “Lutu kut ac fah srasrapo nu sum, ac kom ku in oru kutena ma kom lungse oru nu sesr.”
11 The next day Saul organized the troops into three divisions, and during the morning watch they invaded the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them, until the hottest part of the day. And the survivors were so scattered that no two of them were left together.
Ke fong sac, Saul el kitalik mwet mweun lal nu ke u tolu. Toang in len tok ah, elos utyak nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Ammon uh ac mweunelos nwe ke sun infulwen len, ac elos onelosla. Mwet su painmoulla sin mwet Ammon elos kaingelik, kais sie ke inkanek lal sifacna.
12 Then the people said to Samuel, “Who said that Saul should not reign over us? Bring those men here so we can kill them!”
Na mwet Israel elos fahk nu sel Samuel, “Ku pia mwet ma fahk mu Saul el tia fal in tokosra facsr uh? Usalosme ac kut fah onelosla!”
13 But Saul ordered, “No one shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has worked salvation in Israel.”
A Saul el fahk, “Wangin mwet ac fah anwuki misenge, tuh pa inge len se LEUM GOD El molela mwet Israel.”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingship there.”
Na Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Lela kut nukewa in som nu Gilgal, ac sifilpa fahkak lah Saul el tokosra lasr.”
15 So all the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king in the presence of the LORD. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the LORD, and Saul and all the Israelites rejoiced greatly.
Ke ma inge elos nukewa som nu Gilgal, ac fahkak in acn mutal we lah Saul el tokosra lalos. Elos oru mwe kisa in akinsewowo, ac Saul ac mwet nukewa elos arulana engan ac akfulatye len sac.
