Kings I 13
1 And Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of the men of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand who were in Machmas, and in mount Baethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every man to his tent.
Sọl gbara iri afọ atọ mgbe e mere ya eze. Ọ chịkwara dịka eze nʼala Izrel iri afọ anọ na abụọ.
Sọl sitere nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel họpụta puku ndị ikom atọ ka ha bụrụ ndị agha ya. Sọl na puku abụọ nọ na Mikmash nʼala ugwu ugwu Betel. Otu puku nọnyeere Jonatan na Gibea, nʼala Benjamin. Ndị ikom ndị fọdụrụ ka o zighachiri, onye ọbụla nʼụlọ ha.
3 And Jonathan struck Nasib the Philistine that lived in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have despised [us].
Ma Jonatan busoro ndị agha Filistia nọ na Geba agha. Ndị Filistia nụkwara ihe banyere ya. Mgbe ahụ, Sọl nyere iwu ka e gbuo opi ike nʼala Izrel niile, kwuo sị, “Unu ndị Hibru niile, geenụ ntị.”
4 And all Israel heard say, Saul has struck Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Galgala.
Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel niile nụrụ akụkọ ahụ nke kwuru sị, “Sọl ebusola ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị agha Filistia agha, nʼihi nke a, ndị Izrel niile abụrụla ndị a kpọrọ asị ugbu a nʼetiti ndị Filistia.” Ya mere, ndị agha Izrel niile pụtakwara soro Sọl gaa Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines gather together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Machmas, opposite Baethoron southward.
Ndị Filistia nʼonwe ha chịkọtara ndị agha ha ibuso ndị Izrel agha. Ọnụọgụgụ ụgbọ agha ha dị puku atọ, ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ha nwere dị puku isii; ndị agha ha ndị ọzọ dị ukwu nʼọnụọgụgụ. Nʼezie, ha dị ukwuu dịka aja dị nʼọnụ osimiri. Ha manyere ụlọ ikwu ha na Mikmash nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Bet-Aven.
6 And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait so that they could not draw near, and the people hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and pits.
Mgbe ndị agha Izrel hụrụ na ọnọdụ ha dị njọ nke ukwuu, hụkwa na ndị iro na-emegide ha, ha zoro onwe ha nʼọgba nkume, nʼime oke ọhịa, nʼetiti nkume, nʼime olulu na nʼime oghere ọbụla.
7 And they that went over went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Galaad: and Saul was yet in Galgala, and all the people followed after him in amazement.
Ndị Hibru ụfọdụ gafere Jọdan ruo nʼala Gad na Gilead. Nʼoge a, Sọl nọ na Gilgal, ndị agha niile ya na ha nọ na-amakwa jijiji nʼihi ụjọ.
8 And he continued seven days for the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to Galgala, and his people were dispersed from him.
Samuel gwararịị Sọl ka o chere ya ruo abalị asaa, ma mgbe abalị asaa zuru Samuel abịaghị Gilgal. Nʼoge a, ndị agha Sọl malitere na-agbasasị.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither [victims], that I may offer whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he offered the whole burnt offering.
Ya mere, Sọl kwuru sị, “Wetaranụ m ihe aja nsure ọkụ na nke aja udo.” Sọl chụkwara aja nsure ọkụ ahụ.
10 And it came to pass when he had finished offering the whole burnt offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to meet him, [and] to bless him.
Ngwangwa ọ na-achụcha aja ndị ahụ, Samuel rutere, Sọl pụrụ izute ya, na ikele ya.
11 And Samuel said, What have you done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and you was not present as you purposed according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.
Samuel sịrị, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere?” Sọl zara, “Mgbe m hụrụ na ndị a na-agba aghara aghara, na-esite nʼebe m nọ na-agbapụ, mgbe m lere anya lee, ma ahụghị m ka ị na-abịa dịka i kwuru, mgbe m hụkwara ndị Filistia ka ha nọ na Mikmash, na-akwado ibuso anyị agha,
12 Then I said, Now will the Philistines come down to me to Galgala, and I have not sought the face of the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole burnt offering.
echeere m, ‘Ugbu a, ndị Filistia ga-arịdakwute m ibuso m agha na Gilgal, ma arịọbeghị m ihuọma Onyenwe anyị.’ Ya mere m, m jisie ike chụọ aja nsure ọkụ ahụ.”
13 And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly; for you have not kept my command, which the Lord commanded you, as now the Lord would have confirmed your kingdom over Israel for ever.
Samuel sịrị Sọl, “Ị kpara agwa onye nzuzu. I debeghị ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị nʼiwu idebe. A si na i mere nke a, ọ gaara eme ka alaeze gị guzosie ike nʼebe Izrel nọ ruo mgbe niile.
14 But now your kingdom shall not stand to you, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people, because you have not kept all that the Lord commanded you.
Ma ugbu a, alaeze gị agaghị adịgide. Onyenwe anyị achọpụtala otu nwoke dịka ọchịchọ obi ya si dị, ọ họpụtakwala ya ịbụ eze nke ndị ya; nʼihi na ị debeghị ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere gị nʼiwu.”
15 And Samuel arose, and departed from Galgala, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet [him] after the men of war, when they had come out of Galgala to Gabaa of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.
Samuel biliri hapụ Gilgal gaa Gibea nʼala Benjamin. Mgbe Sọl gụrụ ndị agha so ya, ọ chọpụtara na ha dị naanị narị isii.
16 And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, halted in Gabaa, of Benjamin; and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Machmas.
Sọl na nwa ya nwoke Jonatan, na narị mmadụ isii ndị soo ha nọ na Geba nʼala Benjamin, ebe ndị Filistia mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Mikmash.
17 And men came forth to destroy out of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by the way of Gophera towards the land of Sogal,
Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị agha Filistia kere onwe ha ụzọ atọ site nʼụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia pụta; otu ụzọ chere ihu nʼụzọ Ofra nʼakụkụ Shual,
18 and another company turning the way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Gai of Sabim.
nke ọzọ chere ihu ịga Bet-Horon, nke atọ chee ihu nʼụzọ oke ala dị na Ndagwurugwu Zeboiim, nke dị ọzara nso.
19 And there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear.
Nʼoge ahụ, e nweghị ike ịchọta otu ọkpụ ụzụ nʼala Izrel, nʼihi na ndị Filistia sịrị, “Ma ọ bụghị otu a, ndị Hibru ga-akpụtara onwe ha mma agha maọbụ ùbe.”
20 And all Israel went down to the Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle.
Izrel niile na-ejekwuru ndị Filistia maka ịmụ ọgụ igwuze ala ha, maọbụ mma oge ha, maọbụ anyụike ha, maọbụ mma ha ji ewe ihe ubi.
21 And it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were [valued at] three shekels for a ploughshare, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.
Ihe ha na-akwụ maka ịmụ ọgụ igwuze ala, na mma oge ha bụ ụzọ abụọ nke shekel e kere ụzọ atọ, maka ịmụ anyụike, na ndụdụ, ya na ịpị ndụdụ e ji achị ehi bụ, otu ụzọ nke shekel e kere ụzọ atọ.
22 And it came to pass in the days of the war of Machmas, that there was not a sword or spear found in the hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found.
Nke mere na ahụtaghị mma agha maọbụ ùbe ọbụla nʼaka ndị agha Izrel nʼụbọchị agha ahụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị nke dị nʼaka Sọl na Jonatan.
23 And there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.
Ugbu a ndị Filistia e kewapụtara iche a pụọla gaa nʼụzọ warawara dị na Mikmash.
