1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came vp, and besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with vs, and we will be thy seruants.
Nʼoge ahụ, Nahash, eze ndị Amọn, duuru ndị agha ya bilie imegide ndị Izrel bi nʼala Jebesh Gilead. Ma ndị Jebesh rịọrọ ya sị, “Ka anyị na gị gbaa ndụ, anyị ga-anọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị gị.”
2 And Nahash ye Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a couenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eies, and bring that shame vpon all Israel.
Ma Nahash, onye Amọn zara sị ha, “Mụ na unu ga-agba ndụ ma ọ bụrụ na unu ekwenye ka m ghụpụta anya aka nri nke onye ọbụla nʼime unu, si otu a wetara Izrel niile ihe nkọcha.”
3 To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no man deliuer vs, we will come out to thee.
Ndị okenye obodo Jebesh zara sị, “Nye anyị abalị asaa ka anyị ziga ndị ozi nʼala Izrel niile. Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị onye kwere ịbịa zọpụta anyị, anyị ga-ewere onwe anyị nyefee gị nʼaka.”
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the people: and all the people lift vp their voices and wept.
Mgbe ndị ozi ha zipụrụ bịaruru Gibea, nke bụ obodo Sọl, ha kọọrọ ndị mmadụ ihe ndị a, ha niile dapụrụ nʼakwa.
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattell out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
Ma nʼoge a, Sọl si nʼubi na-alọta, soro ụmụ ehi ya nʼazụ, ọ jụrụ, “Ọ bụ gịnị na-eme onye ọbụla? Gịnị mere na ha ji ebe akwa?” Ha kọọrọ ya ihe banyere ozi e si Jebesh zite.
6 Then the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angrie,
Mgbe Sọl nụrụ ozi a, Mmụọ nke Chineke bịakwasịrị ya nʼike, iwe wekwara ya nke ukwuu.
7 And tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul, and after Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Ọ kpụpụtara ehi abụọ bọkasịa ha, zipụ ndị ozi ka ha buru ha ga obodo niile dị nʼIzrel. Ozi ha ga-ezi ndị obodo ọbụla bụ nke a. “Ọ bụ ihe e mere ehi ndị a ka a ga-eme ehi onye ọbụla jụrụ iso Sọl na Samuel jee ọgụ.” Onyenwe anyị mere ka egwu jide ndị Izrel niile. Nʼihi ya, ha niile bịakwutere Sọl dịka otu mmadụ.
8 And when he nombred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundreth thousande men: and the men of Iudah thirtie thousand.
Mgbe Sọl kpọkọtara ha na Bezek, ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom Izrel dị narị puku atọ, tinyekwara iri puku mmadụ atọ, ndị sitere na Juda.
9 Then they saide vnto the messengers that came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, which were glad.
Ha gwara ndị zitere ozi ahụ okwu sị ha, “Zienụ ndị ikom Jebesh Gilead, ‘Echi, tupu anyanwụ achaa nʼuju ya, a ga-anapụta unu.’” Mgbe ndị ozi a gara zie ndị ikom Jebesh Gilead ozi a, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu.
10 Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To morowe we will come out vnto you, and yee shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
Ndị ikom Jebesh ziri ozi gwa ndị Amọn sị ha, “Echi, anyị ga-enye unu onwe anyị, ka unu mee anyị ihe masịrị unu.”
11 And when the morowe was come, Saul put the people in three bandes, and they came in vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and they that remained, were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Ma nʼụtụtụ echi, Sọl na ndị agha ya bịaruru. O kewara ndị agha ya ụzọ atọ, buso ụmụ Amọn agha na mberede nʼisi ụtụtụ. O gbugidere ha ụtụtụ niile ruo mgbe anyanwụ chara nʼuju ya, chụsasịa ndị fọdụrụ nʼime ha. Nke a mere na o nweghị ebe a ga-ahụ ka ndị agha Amọn abụọ nọkọtara.
12 Then the people said vnto Samuel, Who is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring those men that we may slaie them.
Ndị Izrel niile bịakwutere Samuel jụọ ya sị, “Olee ndị ahụ sị na Sọl agaghị abụ eze anyị? Kpọpụtara anyị ha ka anyị gbuo ha!”
13 But Saul said, There shall no man die this day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
Ma Sọl zara sị, “O nweghị onye ọbụla a ga-egbu taa, nʼihi na taa, Onyenwe anyị anapụtala Izrel!”
14 Then saide Samuel vnto ye people, Come, that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome there.
Samuel gwara ha sị, “Bịanụ ka anyị gaa Gilgal mee ịbụ eze a ka ọ dị ọhụrụ ọzọ.”
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.
Ya mere, mmadụ niile gara Gilgal. Na mmemme pụrụ iche, ha mere Sọl eze nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ha chụkwara aja udo nye Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ. Ọṅụ jupụtakwara nʼobi Sọl na ndị Izrel niile.
