< 1 Samuel 14 >
1 Now one day Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was with him, looking after his arms, Come, let us go over to the Philistine force over there. But he said nothing to his father.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, Jonatani ọmọ Saulu wí fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó ń ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a rékọjá lọ sí ìlú olódi àwọn Filistini tí ó wà ní ìhà kejì.” Ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ fún baba rẹ̀.
2 And Saul was still waiting in the farthest part of Geba, under the fruit-tree in Migron: there were about six hundred men with him;
Saulu sì dúró ní ìhà etí ìpínlẹ̀ Gibeah lábẹ́ igi pomegiranate èyí tí ó wà ní Migroni. Àwọn ẹgbẹ̀ta ọkùnrin sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀,
3 And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, who had the ephod. And the people had no idea that Jonathan had gone.
lára wọn ni Ahijah, tí ó wọ efodu. Òun ni ọmọ arákùnrin Ikabodu Ahitubu, ọmọ Finehasi, ọmọ Eli, àlùfáà Olúwa ní Ṣilo kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ̀ pé Jonatani ti lọ.
4 Now between the narrow roads over the mountains by which Jonathan was making his way to the Philistines' forces, there was a sharp overhanging rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: one was named Bozez and the other Seneh.
Ní ọ̀nà tí Jonatani ti ń fẹ́ láti kọjá dé ìlú olódi àwọn Filistini, ní bèbè òkúta mímú kan wá, orúkọ èkínní sì ń jẹ́ Bosesi, orúkọ èkejì sì ń jẹ́ Sene.
5 The one rock went up on the north in front of Michmash and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Bèbè òkúta kan dúró sí àríwá ní ìhà Mikmasi, èkejì sì wà ní gúúsù ní ìhà Gibeah.
6 And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.
Jonatani sì wí fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó ń ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a lọ sí ìlú olódi àwọn aláìkọlà yìí. Bóyá Olúwa yóò jà fún wa, kò sí ohun tó lè di Olúwa lọ́wọ́ láti gbàlà, yálà nípasẹ̀ púpọ̀ tàbí nípasẹ̀ díẹ̀.”
7 And his servant said to him, Do whatever is in your mind: see, I am with you in every impulse of your heart.
Ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ sì wí pé, “Ṣe gbogbo ohun tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ, tẹ̀síwájú, Èmi wà pẹ̀lú ọkàn àti ẹ̀mí rẹ.”
8 Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.
Jonatani sì wí pé, “Wá nígbà náà, àwa yóò rékọjá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí, kí a sì jẹ́ kí wọ́n rí wa.
9 If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and not go up to them.
Bí wọ́n bá sọ fún wa pé, ‘Ẹ dúró títí àwa yóò fi tọ̀ yín wá,’ àwa yóò dúró sí ibi tí a wà, àwa kì yóò sì gòkè tọ̀ wọ́n lọ.
10 But if they say, Come up to us; then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands: and this will be the sign to us.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí wọ́n bá wí pé, ‘Ẹ gòkè tọ̀ wá wá,’ àwa yóò gòkè lọ, nítorí èyí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì fún wa pé Olúwa ti fi wọ́n lé wa lọ́wọ́.”
11 And they let the Philistine force see the two of them: and the Philistines said, Look! the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have taken cover.
Báyìí ní àwọn méjèèjì sì fi ara wọn hàn fún ìlú olódi Filistini. Àwọn Filistini sì wí pé, “Wò ó! Àwọn Heberu ń yọ jáde wá láti inú ihò tí wọ́n fi ara wọn pamọ́ sí.”
12 And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.
Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú olódi náà sì kígbe sí Jonatani àti ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ gòkè tọ̀ wá wá àwa yóò sì kọ́ ọ yín ní ẹ̀kọ́.” Jonatani sì wí fún ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Gòkè tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn; Olúwa ti fi wọ́n lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́.”
13 And Jonathan went up, gripping with his hands and his feet, his servant going up after him; and the Philistines gave way before Jonathan when he made an attack on them, and his servant put them to death after him.
Jonatani lo ọwọ́ àti ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ láti fà gòkè pẹ̀lú ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀. Àwọn Filistini sì ṣubú níwájú Jonatani ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ sì tẹ̀lé e, ó sì ń pa lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀.
14 And at their first attack, Jonathan and his servant put to the sword about twenty men, all inside the space of half an acre of land.
Ní ìkọlù èkínní yìí, Jonatani àti ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ sì pa ogún ọkùnrin ní agbègbè tó tó ìwọ̀n ààbọ̀ sáré ilẹ̀.
15 And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.
Nígbà náà ni ìbẹ̀rùbojo bá àwọn ọmọ-ogun; àwọn tí ó wà ní ibùdó àti ní pápá, àti àwọn tí ó wà ní ilé ìlú olódi àti àwọn tí ń kó ìkógun, ilẹ̀ sì mì. Ó jẹ́ ìbẹ̀rù tí ó ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá.
16 And the watchmen of Saul, looking out from Geba in the land of Benjamin, saw all the army flowing away and running here and there.
Àwọn tí ó ń ṣọ́nà fún Saulu ní Gibeah ti Benjamini sì rí àwọn ọmọ-ogun ń túká ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Let everyone be numbered and let us see who has gone from us. And when they had been numbered, it was seen that Jonathan and his servant were not there.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ ka àwọn ènìyàn kí ẹ sì mọ ẹni tí ó jáde kúrò nínú wa.” Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, sì wò ó, Jonatani àti ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ ni kò sì sí níbẹ̀.
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, Let the ephod come here. For he went before Israel with the ephod at that time.
Saulu sì wí fún Ahijah pé, “Gbé àpótí Ọlọ́run wá.” Àpótí Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ìgbà náà.
19 Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the noise in the tents of the Philistines became louder and louder; and Saul said to the priest, Take back your hand.
Nígbà tí Saulu sì ń bá àlùfáà sọ̀rọ̀, ariwo ní ibùdó àwọn Filistini sì ń pọ̀ síwájú sí. Saulu sì wí fún àlùfáà pé, “Dá ọwọ́ rẹ dúró.”
20 And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.
Saulu àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ sì péjọ, wọ́n sì lọ sí ojú ìjà. Wọ́n sì bá gbogbo àwọn Filistini ní ìdàrúdàpọ̀ ńlá, idà olúkúlùkù sì wà lára ọmọ ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.
21 Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Àwọn Heberu tí ó ti wà lọ́dọ̀ àwọn Filistini tẹ́lẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì ti gòkè tẹ̀lé wọn lọ sí àgọ́ wọn wá sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí wọ́n ti wà pẹ̀lú Saulu àti Jonatani.
22 And all the men of Israel who had taken cover in the hill-country of Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had been put to flight, went after them, attacking them.
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn Israẹli tí ó ti pa ara wọn mọ́ nínú òkè ńlá Efraimu gbọ́ pé àwọn Filistini sá, wọ́n darapọ̀ mọ́ ìjà náà ní ìlépa gbígbóná.
23 So the Lord made Israel safe that day: and the fight went over to Beth-aven.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa sì gba Israẹli ní ọjọ́ náà, ìjà náà sì rékọjá sí Beti-Afeni.
24 And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.
Gbogbo ọkùnrin Israẹli sì wà ní ìpọ́njú ńlá ní ọjọ́ náà, nítorí pé Saulu ti fi àwọn ènìyàn gégùn ún wí pé, “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó jẹ oúnjẹ títí di alẹ́, títí èmi yóò fi gbẹ̀san mi lára àwọn ọ̀tá mi!” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹnìkankan nínú ọ̀wọ́ ogun náà tí ó fi ẹnu kan oúnjẹ.
25 And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì wọ inú igbó, oyin sì wà lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
26 But not a man put his hand to his mouth for fear of the curse.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé inú igbó náà, wọ́n sì rí oyin ń sun jáde, kò sí ẹni tí ó fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kan ẹnu rẹ̀ síbẹ̀, nítorí pé wọ́n bẹ̀rù ìfiré.
27 But Jonathan, having no knowledge of the oath his father had put on the people, stretching out the rod which was in his hand, put the end of it in the honey, and put it to his mouth; then his eyes were made bright.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jonatani kò gbọ́ pé baba rẹ̀ ti fi ìfibú kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì tẹ orí ọ̀pá tí ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ bọ afárá oyin náà, ó sì fi sí ẹnu rẹ̀, ojú rẹ̀ sì dán.
28 Then one of the people said to him, Your father put the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes any food this day. And the people were feeble, needing food.
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ fún un pé, “Baba rẹ fi ìfibú kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó jẹ oúnjẹ ní òní!’ Ìdí nìyìí tí àárẹ̀ fi mú àwọn ènìyàn.”
29 Then Jonathan said, My father has made trouble come on the land: now see how bright my eyes have become because I have taken a little of this honey.
Jonatani sì wí pé, “Baba mi ti mú ìdààmú bá ìlú, wò ó bí ojú mi ti dán nígbà tí mo fi ẹnu kan oyin yìí.
30 How much more if the people had freely taken their food from the goods of those who were fighting against them! would there not have been much greater destruction among the Philistines?
Báwo ni kò bá ti dára tó bí àwọn ènìyàn bá ti jẹ nínú ìkógun àwọn ọ̀tá wọn lónìí, pípa àwọn Filistini ìbá ti pọ̀ tó?”
31 That day they overcame the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were feeble from need of food.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti pa nínú àwọn Filistini láti Mikmasi dé Aijaloni, ó sì rẹ àwọn ènìyàn náà.
32 And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.
Wọ́n sáré sí ìkógun náà, wọ́n sì mú àgùntàn. Màlúù àti ọmọ màlúù, wọ́n pa wọ́n sórí ilẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ wọ́n papọ̀ tẹ̀jẹ́tẹ̀jẹ̀.
33 Then it was said to Saul, See, the people are sinning against the Lord, taking the blood with the flesh. And he said to those who gave him the news, Now let a great stone be rolled to me here.
Nígbà náà ni ẹnìkan sì wí fún Saulu pé, “Wò ó, àwọn ènìyàn tí ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa nípa jíjẹ ẹran tí ó ní ẹ̀jẹ̀ lára.” Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín ti pọ̀jù, yí òkúta ńlá sí ibi nísinsin yìí.”
34 And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.
Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Ẹ jáde lọ sáàrín àwọn ènìyàn náà kí ẹ sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Kí olúkúlùkù wọn mú màlúù àti àgùntàn tirẹ̀ tọ̀ mí wá, kí wọ́n sì pa wọ́n níhìn-ín, kí wọ́n sì jẹ́. Ẹ má ṣe ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa, kí ẹ má ṣe jẹ ẹran tòun-tẹ̀jẹ̀.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní olúkúlùkù mú màlúù tirẹ̀ wá ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n níbẹ̀.
35 And Saul put up an altar to the Lord: this was the first altar which he put up to the Lord.
Nígbà náà Saulu kọ́ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa; èyí sì jẹ́ ìgbà àkọ́kọ́ tí ó kọ́kọ́ ṣe èyí.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ Filistini lọ ní òru, kí a bá wọn jà títí di ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀, kí a má ṣì ṣe dá ẹnìkankan sí nínú wọn.” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ṣe ohun tí ó bá dára ní ojú rẹ̀.” Ṣùgbọ́n àlùfáà wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a ṣe ìwádìí lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run níhìn-ín.”
37 And Saul, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go down after the Philistines? will you give them up into the hands of Israel? But he gave him no answer that day.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run pé, “Ṣé kí n sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ àwọn Filistini lọ bí? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ yóò fi wọ́n lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́ bí?” Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run kò dá a lóhùn ní ọjọ́ náà.
38 And Saul said, Come near, all you chiefs of the people, and let us get word from God and see in whom is this sin today.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ wá síyìn-ín ín, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ jẹ́ olórí ogun, kí a ṣe ìwádìí irú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ẹ ti ṣẹ̀ lónìí.
39 For, by the living Lord, the saviour of Israel, even if the sinner is Jonathan, my son, death will certainly be his fate. But not a man among all the people gave him any answer.
Bí Olúwa tí ó gba Israẹli là ti wà, bí ó bá ṣe pé a rí í lára Jonatani ọmọ mi, ó ní láti kú.” Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkankan nínú wọn kò sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan.
40 Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, “Ẹ lọ sí apá kan; èmi àti Jonatani ọmọ mi yóò lọ sí apá kan.” Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì dáhùn pé, “Ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ ní ojú rẹ.”
41 Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli pé, “Fún mi ní ìdáhùn tí ó tọ́.” A sì mú Jonatani àti Saulu nípa ìbò dídì, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì yege.
42 And Saul said, Give your decision between my son Jonathan and me. And Jonathan was taken.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ dìbò láàrín èmi àti Jonatani ọmọ mi.” Ìbò náà sì mú Jonatani.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Give me an account of what you have done. And Jonathan gave him the story and said, Certainly I took a little honey on the end of my rod; and now death is to be my fate.
Saulu sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Sọ nǹkan tí ìwọ ṣe fún mi.” Jonatani sì sọ fún un pé, “Mo kàn fi orí ọ̀pá mi tọ́ oyin díẹ̀ wò. Nísinsin yìí ṣé mo ní láti kú?”
44 And Saul said, May God's punishment be on me if death is not your fate, Jonathan.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí mi, nítorí pé ìwọ Jonatani yóò sá à kú dandan.”
45 And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn wí fún Saulu pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó yẹ kí Jonatani kú, ẹni tí ó ti mú ìgbàlà ńlá yìí wá fún Israẹli? Kí a má rí í! Bí Olúwa ti wà, ọ̀kan nínú irun orí rẹ̀ kì yóò bọ́ sílẹ̀, nítorí tí ó ṣe èyí pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́.” Báyìí ni àwọn ènìyàn gba Jonatani sílẹ̀, kò sì kú.
46 Then Saul, turning back, went after the Philistines no longer: and the Philistines went back to their place.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu sì dẹ́kun lílépa àwọn Filistini, àwọn Filistini sì padà sí ìlú wọn.
47 Now when Saul had taken his place as ruler of Israel, he made war on those who were against him on every side, Moab and the Ammonites and Edom and the kings of Zobah and the Philistines: and whichever way he went, he overcame them.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Saulu ti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, ó sì bá gbogbo ọ̀tá wọn jà yíká: Moabu àti àwọn ọmọ Ammoni; Edomu, àti àwọn ọba Soba, àti àwọn Filistini. Ibikíbi tí ó bá kọjú sí, ó máa ń fi ìyà jẹ wọ́n.
48 And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.
Ó sì jà tagbára tagbára, ó ṣẹ́gun àwọn Amaleki, ó sì ń gba Israẹli sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó ń kọlù wọ́n.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;
Àwọn ọmọ Saulu sì ni Jonatani, Iṣifi àti Malikiṣua. Orúkọ ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ àgbà sì ni Merabu àti orúkọ ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ kékeré ni Mikali.
50 The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, brother of Saul's father.
Orúkọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ ní Ahinoamu ọmọbìnrin Ahimasi. Orúkọ olórí ogun rẹ̀ ni Abneri ọmọ Neri arákùnrin baba Saulu.
51 Kish, the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel.
Kiṣi baba Saulu àti Neri baba Abneri wọ́n sì jẹ́ ọmọ Abieli.
52 All through the life of Saul there was bitter war against the Philistines; and whenever Saul saw any strong man or any good fighting man, he kept him near himself.
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ Saulu, ogun náà sì gbóná sí àwọn Filistini, níbikíbi tí Saulu bá sì ti rí alágbára tàbí akíkanjú ọkùnrin, a sì mú u láti máa bá a ṣiṣẹ́.
