1 Samuel 11
1 Nahash the Ammonite came with his army and besieged Jabesh-gilead. All the people of Jabesh said to him, “Make a peace treaty with us, and we will be your subjects.”
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 But Nahash the Ammonite responded, “I'll make a peace treaty with you on one condition: that I gouge out everyone's right eye to bring shame on all Israelites.”
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 “Let us have seven days so we can send messengers all over Israel,” replied the town elders of Jabesh. “If no one comes to help us, we will surrender 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 When the messengers arrived in Gibeah of Saul and gave the message as the people listened, they all wept out loud.
Dimteng dagiti mensahero idiay Gabaa, a pagnanaedan ni Saul, ket imbagada kadagiti tattao ti napasamak. Nagsangit amin dagiti tattao iti napigsa.
5 Right then Saul was coming back from ploughing a field with his oxen. “Why is everyone so upset?” he asked. They told him what the men from Jabesh had said.
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 The Spirit of God came on Saul in power when he heard about this, and he grew very angry.
Idi nangngeg ni Saul ti imbagada, immay ti Espiritu ti Dios kenkuana, ket nakaunget unay isuna.
7 He took a pair of oxen and cut them into pieces. Then he sent them by messenger to every part of Israel with the message, “This is what will happen to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel.” The Lord made the people anxious to do so, and they came out as one.
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 When Saul counted them at Bezek, there were 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 men from Judah.
Idi naummongna ida idiay Besek, tallo gasut a ribu dagiti tattao ti Israel, ket dagiti lallaki ti Juda ket tallopulo a ribu.
9 They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow you'll be rescued, by the time the sun is hot.’” The people of Jabesh were so happy when the messengers arrived and told them this.
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 They told the Ammonites, “We will surrender to you tomorrow, and then you can do to us whatever you want.”
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Jabes kenni Nahas, “Inton bigat sumukokaminto kadakayo, ket aramidenyonto kadakami ti aniaman nga ammoyo a nasayaat kadakayo.”
11 The next day Saul organized the army into three divisions. They attacked the Ammonite camp before dawn and went on killing them until the day grew hot. The survivors were so scattered 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 Then the people asked Samuel, “Who was saying, ‘Why should we have Saul as our king?’ Hand these men over so we can execute them.”
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao kenni Samuel, “Siasino dagiti nangibaga a kunada, 'Iturayannatayonto kadi ni Saul?' Iyegyo dagiti lallaki, tapno papatayentayo ida.
13 But Saul replied, “No one's going to be executed today, for this is the day that the Lord saved 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 with me—let's go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom.”
Ket kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Umaykayo, intayo idiay Gilgal ket sadiay, pasingkedantayo ti panagbalin ni Saul nga ari.”
15 Everyone went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king before the Lord. They sacrificed friendship offerings to the Lord, and Saul together with all the Israelites had a great celebration.
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.
