< 1 Samuel 11 >
1 And, about a month afterward, it happened that Nahash the Ammonite ascended and began to fight against Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Consider a pact with us, and we will serve you.”
Kalpasanna, napan rinaut ni Nahas a taga-Amon ti Jabes Galaad. Kinuna dagiti amin a lallaki iti Jabes kenni Nahas, “Makitulagka kadakami, ket agserbikaminto kenka.”
2 And Nahash the Ammonite responded to them, “With this will I strike a pact with you: if I may pluck out all your right eyes, and set you as a disgrace against all of Israel.”
Simmungbat ni Nahas a taga-Amon, “Makitulagak kadakayo ngem iti maysa a kondision, a suatek amin dagiti akin-kannawan a matmatayo, ket babaen iti kastoy a wagas, maibabainanto ti entero nga Israel.”
3 And the elders of Jabesh said to him: “Grant to us seven days, so that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel. And if there is no one who may defend us, we will go out to you.”
Ket simmungbat kenkuana dagiti panglakayen ti Jabes, “Panawannakami nga agmaymaysa iti las-ud ti pito nga aldaw, tapno makaibaonkami kadagiti mensahero iti amin a masakupan ti Israel. Kalpasanna, no awan ti mangisalakan kadakami, sumukokaminto kenka.”
4 Therefore, the messengers arrived at Gibeah of Saul. And they spoke these words in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
Dimteng dagiti mensahero idiay Gabaa, a pagnanaedan ni Saul, ket imbagada kadagiti tattao ti napasamak. Nagsangit amin dagiti tattao iti napigsa.
5 And behold, Saul arrived, following oxen from the field. And he said, “What has happened to the people that they would weep?” And they explained to him the words of the men from Jabesh.
Ita, sarsarunnoen ni Saul dagiti bulog a baka iti ayan ti talon. Kinuna ni Saul, “Ania ti mapaspasamak kadagiti tattao ta agsangsangitda?” Imbagada kenni Saul ti imbaga dagiti lallaki iti Jabes.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord rose up within Saul when he had heard these words, and his fury was enraged exceedingly.
Idi nangngeg ni Saul ti imbagada, immay ti Espiritu ti Dios kenkuana, ket nakaunget unay isuna.
7 And taking both the oxen, he cut them into pieces, and he sent them into all the borders of Israel, by the hands of messengers, saying, “Whoever will not go out and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” Therefore, the fear of the Lord entered into the people, and they went out like one man.
Nangala isuna iti dua a baka, tinadtatadtadna dagitoy, ken impaiwarasna dagitoy kadagiti mensahero iti entero a masakupan ti Israel. Kinunana, “Siasinoman a saan a rummuar a sumurot kada Saul ken Samuel, daytoy ti maaramidto kadagiti bakana.” Ket immay kadagiti tattao ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh, ket nagsangsangkamaysada a rimmuar.
8 And he took a census of them at Bezek. And there were three hundred thousand of the sons of Israel. And there were thirty thousand of the men of Judah.
Idi naummongna ida idiay Besek, tallo gasut a ribu dagiti tattao ti Israel, ket dagiti lallaki ti Juda ket tallopulo a ribu.
9 And they said to the messengers who had arrived: “So shall you say to the men who are of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow, when the sun will be hot, you shall have salvation.’” Therefore, the messengers went and announced it to the men of Jabesh, who became joyful.
Kinunada kadagiti dimteng a mensahero, “Ibagayonto kadagiti lallaki iti Jabes Galaad, 'Maispalkayonto sakbay a dumteng ti tengnga ti aldaw inton bigat.'” Napan ngarud imbaga daytoy dagiti mensahero kadagiti tattao ti Jabes, ket naragsakanda.
10 And they said, “In the morning, we will go out to you. And you may do whatever you please with us.”
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Jabes kenni Nahas, “Inton bigat sumukokaminto kadakayo, ket aramidenyonto kadakami ti aniaman nga ammoyo a nasayaat kadakayo.”
11 And it happened that, when the next day had arrived, Saul arranged the people into three parts. And he entered into the middle of the camp at the early morning watch, and he struck down the Ammonites until the day grew hot. Then the remainder were dispersed, so much so that not even two of them were left together.
Kabigatanna, binunggoy ni Saul dagiti tattao iti tallo. Dimtengda iti tengnga ti kampo iti parbangon, ket dinarup ken pinarmekda dagiti Amonita agingga iti umaldawen. Nagwawara dagiti nakalasat, isu nga awan ti dua a nagkadua a nagkuyog.
12 And the people said to Samuel: “Who is the one who said, ‘Should Saul reign over us?’ Present the men, and we will put them to death.”
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao kenni Samuel, “Siasino dagiti nangibaga a kunada, 'Iturayannatayonto kadi ni Saul?' Iyegyo dagiti lallaki, tapno papatayentayo ida.
13 And Saul said: “No one shall be killed on this day. For today the Lord has accomplished salvation in Israel.”
Ngem kinuna ni Saul, “Awan koma ti masapul a matay ita nga aldaw, gapu ta inispal ni Yahweh ti Israel ita nga aldaw.”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.”
Ket kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Umaykayo, intayo idiay Gilgal ket sadiay, pasingkedantayo ti panagbalin ni Saul nga ari.”
15 And all the people traveled to Gilgal. And there they made Saul king, in the sight of the Lord at Gilgal. And there they immolated victims of peace, before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
Isu a napan amin dagiti tattao iti Gilgal ket pinagbalinda nga ari ni Saul iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Gilgal. Nangidatonda sadiay kadagiti daton a pakikappia iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket nagragsak iti kasta unay ni Saul ken dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel.
