1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was thirty when he became king, and he reigned over Israel for forty-two years.
Saulu sì jẹ́ ọmọ ọgbọ̀n ọdún nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní ọdún méjìlélógójì.
2 Saul had chosen three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand of them were with Saul in Michmash and the hill country of Bethel, and another thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the army home.
Saulu yan ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta ọkùnrin ní Israẹli, ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní Mikmasi àti ní ìlú òkè Beteli ẹgbẹ̀rún kan sì wà lọ́dọ̀ Jonatani ní Gibeah ti Benjamini. Àwọn ọkùnrin tókù ni ó rán padà sí ilé e wọn.
3 Jonathan attacked the Philistine garrison at Geba. The Philistines soon heard about it, so Saul had the trumpet call to arms sounded throughout the land, saying, “Hebrews, pay attention!”
Jonatani sì kọlu ẹgbẹ́ ogun àwọn Filistini ní Gibeah, Filistini sì gbọ́ èyí. Nígbà náà ni Saulu fọn ìpè yí gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà ká, ó sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn Heberu gbọ́!”
4 All of Israel heard the news, “Saul has attacked the Philistine garrison, and now Israel is like a bad smell to the Philistines!” So the whole army was called up to join Saul at Gilgal.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo Israẹli sì gbọ́ ìròyìn pé, “Saulu ti kọlu ẹgbẹ́ ogun àwọn Filistini, Israẹli sì di òórùn búburú fún àwọn Filistini.” Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì péjọ láti darapọ̀ mọ́ Saulu ní Gilgali.
5 The Philistines gathered to fight against Israel. They had three thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and soldiers as numerous as sand on the seashore. They advanced and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
Àwọn Filistini kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ láti bá Israẹli jà, pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta kẹ̀kẹ́, ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́fà ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin, àwọn ológun sì pọ̀ bí yanrìn etí Òkun. Wọ́n sì gòkè lọ, wọ́n dó ní Mikmasi ní ìhà ilẹ̀ oòrùn Beti-Afeni.
6 When the Israelite men realized the tough situation they were in, and that the army was taking a beating, they hid themselves in caves, holes, rocks, pits, and cisterns.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì rí i pé àwọn wà nínú ìpọ́njú àti pé àwọn ológun wọn wà nínú ìhámọ́, wọ́n fi ara pamọ́ nínú ihò àti nínú igbó láàrín àpáta, nínú ọ̀fìn, àti nínú kànga gbígbẹ.
7 Some of the Hebrews even crossed the Jordan into the territory of Gad and Gilead, but Saul stayed at Gilgal, and all the men with him were trembling with fear.
Àwọn Heberu mìíràn tilẹ̀ kọjá a Jordani sí ilẹ̀ Gadi àti Gileadi. Saulu wà ní Gilgali síbẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì ń wárìrì fún ìbẹ̀rù.
8 Saul waited there seven days for the time that Samuel had said, but Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, and the army started to desert him.
Ó sì dúró di ọjọ́ méje, àkókò tí Samuẹli dá; ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli kò wá sí Gilgali, àwọn ènìyàn Saulu sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní túká.
9 So Saul ordered, “Bring the burnt offering and the friendship offerings to me,” and he presented the burnt offering.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ìrẹ́pọ̀ wá fún mi.” Saulu sì rú ẹbọ sísun náà.
10 Just as he finished presenting the burnt offering, he saw Samuel arrive. Saul went over to meet him and say hello.
Bí ó sì ti ń parí rírú ẹbọ sísun náà, Samuẹli sì dé, Saulu sì jáde láti lọ kí i.
11 “What have you done?” Samuel asked. Saul replied, “Well I saw my men were deserting me, and you hadn't arrived when you said you would, and the Philistines were gathering at Michmash to attack.
Samuẹli sì wí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ṣe yìí.” Saulu sì dáhùn pé, “Nígbà tí mo rí pé àwọn ènìyàn náà ń túká, àti tí ìwọ kò sì wá ní àkókò ọjọ́ tí ìwọ dá, tí àwọn Filistini sì kó ara wọ́n jọ ní Mikmasi,
12 I said to myself, ‘The Philistines are about to attack me at Gilgal, and I haven't asked the Lord for his help.’ So I felt I had to present the burnt offering myself.”
mo rò pé, ‘Àwọn Filistini yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ mí wá ní Gilgali nísinsin yìí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò ì tí ì wá ojúrere Olúwa.’ Báyìí ni mo mú ara mi ní ipá láti rú ẹbọ sísun náà.”
13 “You've been really stupid,” Samuel told him. “You haven't kept the commands of the Lord your God. If you had, the Lord would have made your kingdom over Israel secure forever.
Samuẹli sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ hu ìwà aṣiwèrè, ìwọ kò sì pa òfin tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fi fún ọ mọ́; bí o kò bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, òun ìbá fi ìdí ìjọba rẹ kalẹ̀ lórí Israẹli láéláé.
14 But now your kingdom won't last. The Lord has found for himself a man who thinks like him, and has chosen him as ruler over his people, because you haven't kept the commands of the Lord.”
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìjọba rẹ kì yóò dúró pẹ́, Olúwa ti wá ọkùnrin tí ó wù ú ní ọkàn rẹ̀ fún ara rẹ̀, ó sì ti yàn án láti ṣe olórí fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, nítorí pé ìwọ kò pa òfin Olúwa mọ́.”
15 Then Samuel left Gilgal. The rest of the soldiers followed Saul to meet the army, going from Gilgal to Geba in Benjamin. Saul counted the number of soldiers who were with him and there were about six hundred.
Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli kúrò ní Gilgali, ó sì gòkè lọ sí Gibeah ti Benjamini, Saulu sì ka àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀ta.
16 Saul, his son Jonathan, and the soldiers with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, while the Philistines were camped at Michmash.
Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn dúró ní Gibeah ti Benjamini, nígbà tí àwọn Filistini dó ní Mikmasi.
17 Three groups of raiders left the Philistine camp to go and attack. One group went towards Ophrah in the land of Shual,
Ẹgbẹ́ àwọn onísùmọ̀mí mẹ́ta jáde lọ ní àgọ́ àwọn Filistini ní ọnà ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀. Ẹgbẹ́ kan gba ọ̀nà ti Ofira ní agbègbè ìlú Ṣuali,
18 one towards Beth-horon, and one towards the border that looks down on the Valley of Zeboim by the wilderness.
òmíràn gba ọ̀nà Beti-Horoni, ẹ̀kẹta sí ìhà ibodè tí ó kọjú sí àfonífojì Seboimu tí ó kọjú sí ijù.
19 There wasn't a blacksmith to be found anywhere in Israel, because the Philistines had said, “So that the Hebrews don't make swords and spears.”
A kò sì rí alágbẹ̀dẹ kan ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Israẹli, nítorí tí àwọn Filistini wí pé, “Bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ àwọn Heberu yóò rọ idà tàbí ọ̀kọ̀!”
20 All the Israelites had to go to the Philistines to sharpen their iron plowshares, pickaxes, axes, and sickles.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo Israẹli tọ àwọn Filistini lọ láti pọ́n dòjé wọn, ọ̀kọ̀, àáké àti ọ̀ṣọ́ wọn.
21 The fee was two-thirds of a shekel for plowshares and pickaxes, and a third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and cattle prods.
Iye tí wọ́n fi pọ́n dòjé àti ọ̀kọ̀ jẹ́ ọwọ́ méjì nínú ìdámẹ́ta ṣékélì, àti ìdámẹ́ta ṣékélì fún pípọ́n òòyà-irin tí ilẹ̀, àáké àti irin ọ̀pá olùṣọ́ màlúù.
22 So when it came to the day of battle none of the soldiers with Saul and Jonathan had swords or spears—only Saul and his son Jonathan had such weapons.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọjọ́ ìjà ẹnìkankan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú Saulu àti Jonatani kò sì ní idà, tàbí ọ̀kọ̀ ní ọwọ́; àfi Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani ni wọ́n ni wọ́n.
23 A Philistine garrison had taken control of the pass at Michmash.
Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ogun Filistini sì ti jáde lọ sí ìkọjá Mikmasi.
