Kings I 11
1 And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.
Nahaṣi ará Ammoni gòkè lọ, ó sì dó ti Jabesi Gileadi, gbogbo ọkùnrin Jabesi sì wí fún Nahaṣi pé, “Bá wa dá májẹ̀mú, àwa yóò sì máa sìn ọ́.”
2 Naas the Ammanite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.
Ṣùgbọ́n Nahaṣi ará Ammoni sì wí fún un pé, “Nípa èyí ni èmi yóò fi bá a yín ṣe ìpinnu, nípa yíyọ gbogbo ojú ọ̀tún yín kúrò, èmi yóò ṣì fi yín ṣe ẹlẹ́yà lójú gbogbo Israẹli.”
3 And the men of Jabis say to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.
Àwọn àgbàgbà Jabesi sì wí fún un pé, “Fún wa ní ọjọ́ méje kí àwa lè rán oníṣẹ́ sí gbogbo Israẹli; àti agbègbè bí ẹni kankan kò bá sì jáde láti gbà wá, àwa yóò fi ara wa fún ọ.”
4 And the messengers came to Gabaa to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ náà sì wá sí Gibeah tí ó jẹ́ ìlú Saulu, wọ́n sọ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ènìyàn, gbogbo wọn gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sì sọkún.
5 And, behold, Saul came after the early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people week? and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.
Nígbà náà gan an ni Saulu padà wá láti pápá, pẹ̀lú màlúù rẹ̀, ó sì béèrè pé, “Kín ni ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí àwọn ènìyàn? Èéṣe tí wọ́n fi ń sọkún?” Nígbà náà ni wọ́n tún sọ fún wọn ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn ọkùnrin Jabesi.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled against them.
Nígbà tí Saulu sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọn, Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run sì bà lé e pẹ̀lú agbára, inú rẹ̀ sì ru sókè.
7 And he took two cows, and cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.
Ó sì mú màlúù méjì, ó gé wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́, ó sì rán ẹyẹẹyọ sí gbogbo Israẹli nípa ọwọ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ náà, ó ní i ẹ kéde pé, “Èyí ni a ó ṣe sí màlúù ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá tọ Saulu àti Samuẹli lẹ́yìn.” Nígbà náà ni ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa sì mú àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n sì jáde bí ènìyàn kan ṣoṣo.
8 And he reviews them at Bezec in Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda seventy thousand.
Nígbà tí Saulu sì kó wọn jọ ní Beseki, àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli tí a kà jẹ́ ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún, àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún.
9 And he said to the messengers that came, Thus shall you say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow you shall have deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.
Wọ́n sì sọ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ tí ó wá pé, “Sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin Jabesi Gileadi pé, ní àkókò tí oòrùn bá mú lọ́la, àwa yóò gbà yín sílẹ̀.” Nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ náà lọ tí wọ́n sì sọ èyí fún àwọn ọkùnrin Jabesi, inú wọn sì dùn.
10 And the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and you shall do to us what seems good in your sight.
Wọ́n sọ fún àwọn ará Jabesi pé, “Àwa yóò fi ara wa fún un yín ní ọ̀la, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó ṣe gbogbo èyí tí ó tọ́ lójú yín sí wa.”
11 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they struck the children of Ammon until the day was hot; at it came to pass that those who were left were scattered, and there were not left amongst them two together.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì Saulu pín àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀ sí ipa mẹ́ta, wọ́n sì ya wọ àgọ́ àwọn ará Ammoni ní ìṣọ́ òwúrọ̀, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n títí di ìmóoru ọjọ́. Àwọn tókù wọ́n sì fọ́nká, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí méjì wọn kò kù sí ibìkan.
12 And the people said to Samuel, Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we will put them to death.
Àwọn ènìyàn sọ fún Samuẹli pé, “Ta ni ó béèrè wí pé, Saulu yóò ha jẹ ọba lórí wa? Mú àwọn ọkùnrin náà wá, a ó sì pa wọ́n.”
13 And Saul said, No man shall die this day, for today the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.
Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu wí pé, “A kì yóò pa ẹnikẹ́ni lónìí, nítorí lónìí yìí ni Olúwa ṣiṣẹ́ ìgbàlà ní Israẹli.”
14 And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.
Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli wí fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ sí Gilgali, kí a lè fi ẹsẹ̀ Saulu múlẹ̀ bí ọba.”
15 And all the people went to Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
Nítorí náà gbogbo ènìyàn lọ sí Gilgali, wọn sí fi Saulu jẹ ọba ní iwájú Olúwa. Níbẹ̀, ni wọn ti rú ẹbọ ìrẹ́pọ̀ ní iwájú Olúwa, Saulu àti gbogbo Israẹli ṣe àjọyọ̀ ńlá.
