< Judges 9 >
1 Then Abimelech the sonne of Ierubbaal went to Shechem vnto his mothers brethren, and communed with them, and with all the familie, and house of his mothers father, saying,
Napan ni Abimelec nga anak ni Jerubbaal kadagiti kabagian ti inana idiay Sikem ket kinunana kadakuada ken iti sibubukel a puli ti pamilia ti inana,
2 Say, I pray you, in the audience of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, that all the sonnes of Ierubbaal, which are seuentie persons, reigne ouer you, either that one reigne ouer you? Remember also, that I am your bone, and your flesh.
“Pangngaasiyo ta ibagayo daytoy, tapno mangngegan dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti Sikem: 'Ania ti nasaysayaat para kadakayo? Iturayannakayo dagiti amin a pitopulo nga annak a lallaki ni Jerubbaal, wenno maysa laeng ti mangituray kadakayo?' Laglagipenyo a tulang ken lasagdak.”
3 Then his mothers brethren spake of him in the audience of all the men of Shechem, all these wordes: and their hearts were moued to follow Abimelech: for sayd they, He is our brother.
Nakisarita dagiti kabagian ti inana kadagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem para kenkuana, ket immanamongda a sumurot kenni Abimelec, ta kinunada, “Kabsattayo isuna.”
4 And they gaue him seuentie pieces of siluer out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vayne and light fellowes which followed him.
Inikkanda isuna iti pitopulo a pidaso ti pirak manipud iti balay ni Baal-Berit, ket inusar ni Abimelec daytoy a pinangtangdan kadagiti nasukir ken darasudos a lallaki, a simmurot kenkuana.
5 And he went vnto his fathers house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren, the sonnes of Ierubbaal, about seuentie persons vpon one stone: yet Iotham the yongest sonne of Ierubbaal was left: for he hid himselfe.
Napan isuna iti balay ti amana idiay Ofra, ket pinapatayna ti pitopulo a kakabsatna iti rabaw ti maysa a bato, dagiti putot a lallaki ni Jerubbaal. Ni laeng Jotam nga inaudi nga anak ni Jerubbaal ti nabati, gapu ta naglemmeng isuna.
6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together with all the house of Millo, and came and made Abimelech King in the playne, where the stone was erected in Shechem.
Naguummong dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti Sikem ken Betmillo ket napanda iti abay ti lugo iti asideg ti adigi nga adda idiay Sikem, ket pinagbalinda nga ari ni Abimelec.
7 And when they told it to Iotham, he went and stoode in the top of mount Gerizim, and lift vp his voyce, and cryed, and sayd vnto them, Hearken vnto mee, you men of Shechem, that God may hearken vnto you.
Idi naibaga kenni Jotam ti maipanggep iti daytoy, napan isuna nagtakder iti tapaw ti Bantay Gerizim. Nagpukkaw isuna ket kinunana kadakuada, “Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a mangidadaulo iti Sikem, tapno denggennakayo koma ti Dios.
8 The trees went foorth to anoynt a King ouer them, and sayde vnto the oliue tree, Reigne thou ouer vs.
Iti naminsan, napan dagiti kayo tapno mangpulot iti arida. Ket kinunada iti kayo nga olibo, 'Iturayannakami.'
9 But the oliue tree said vnto them, Should I leaue my fatnes, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to aduance me aboue ye trees?
Ngem kinuna ti kayo nga olibo kadakuada, 'Rumbeng kadi nga isardengko ti lanak, a maus-usar a pagdayaw iti Dios ken tao, tapno agsubliak nga agampaampayag laeng iti rabaw dagiti sabali a kayo?'
10 Then the trees sayde to the fig tree, Come thou, and be King ouer vs.
Kinuna dagiti kayo iti kayo nga igos, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
11 But the fig tree answered them, Should I forsake my sweetenesse, and my good fruite, and goe to aduance me aboue the trees?
Ngem kinuna ti kayo nga igos kadakuada, 'Rumbeng kadi nga isardengko ti kinasam-itko ken ti nasayaat a bungak, tapno laeng makasubliak nga agampaampayag iti rabaw dagiti sabali a kayo?'
12 Then sayd the trees vnto the Vine, Come thou, and be king ouer vs.
Kinuna dagiti kayo iti ubas, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
13 But the Vine sayde vnto them, Should I leaue my wine, whereby I cheare God and man, and goe to aduance me aboue the trees?
Kinuna ti ubas kadakuada, 'Rumbeng kadi nga isardengko ti baro nga arakko, a mangparparagsak iti Dios ken tao, ken agsubliak nga agampaampayag iti rabaw dagiti sabali a kayo?'
14 Then said all the trees vnto the bramble, Come thou, and reigne ouer vs.
Ket kinuna dagiti amin a kayo iti nasiit a mula, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
15 And the bramble said vnto the trees, If ye will in deede anoynt me King ouer you, come, and put your trust vnder my shadowe: and if not, the fire shall come out of the bramble, and consume the Cedars of Lebanon.
Kinuna ti nasiit a mula kadagiti kayo, 'No pudno a kayatdak a pulotan a kas ariyo, umaykayo ngarud ket makasarakkayo iti talged iti sirok ti linongko. No saan, rummuar koma ti apuy manipud iti nasiit a mula ket puoranna koma dagiti sedro ti Libano.'
16 Now therefore, if ye doe truely and vncorruptly to make Abimelech King, and if ye haue delt well with Ierubbaal and with his house, and haue done vnto him according to the deseruing of his handes,
Ita ngarud, no napudno ken nalintegkayo, idi pinagbalinyo ni Abimelec nga ari, ket no nasayaat ti inaramidyo kenni Jerubbaal ken iti balayna, ket no dinusayo isuna a kas maikari kenkuana-
17 (For my father fought for you, and aduentured his life, and deliuered you out of the handes of Midian.
- ken panunotenyo a nakigubat ti amak gapu kadakayo, insakripisyona ti biagna, ket inispalnakayo manipud iti ima ti Midian-
18 And yee are risen vp against my fathers house this day, and haue slayne his children, about seuentie persons vpon one stone, and haue made Abimelech the sonne of his mayde seruant, King ouer the men of Shechem, because hee is your brother)
ngem ita nga aldaw bimmusorkayo iti balay ti amak ket pinatayyo dagiti putotna a lallaki, pitopulo a tattao, iti rabaw ti maysa a bato. Ket pinagbalinyo nga ari ni Abimelec nga anak ti babai nga adipenna, kadagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem, gapu ta kabagianyo isuna.
19 If ye then haue delt truely and purely with Ierubbaal, and with his house this day, then reioyce with you.
Ket no napudno ken nalintegkayo kenni Jerubbaal ken iti balayna, makiparagsakkayo ngarud kenni Abimelec, ket makipagragsak met isuna kadakayo.
20 But if not, let a fire come out from Abimelech, and consume the men of Shechem and the house of Millo: also let a fire come foorth from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and consume Abimelech.
Ngem no saan, rummuar koma ti apuy kenni Abimelec ket puoranna dagiti lallaki ti Sikem ken ti balay ni Millo. Rummuar koma ti apuy kadagiti lallaki ti Sikem ken Betmillo a mangpuor kenni Abimelec.”
21 And Iotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there for feare of Abimelech his brother.
Naglibas ken nagtaray ni Jotam, ket napan isuna idiay Beer. Nagnaed isuna sadiay gapu ta adayo daytoy kenni Abimelec a kabsatna.
22 So Abimelech reigned three yeere ouer Israel.
Nagturay ni Abimelec iti Israel iti las-ud ti tallo a tawen.
23 But God sent an euil spirit betweene Abimelech, and the men of Shechem: and the men of Shechem brake their promise to Abimelech,
Nangibaon ti Dios iti dakes nga espiritu iti nagbaetan ni Abimelec ken dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem. Liniputan dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem ni Abimelec.
24 That the crueltie toward the seuentie sonnes of Ierubbaal and their blood might come and be laide vpon Abimelech their brother, which had slayne them, and vpon the men of Shechem, which had ayded him to kill his brethren.
Inaramid ti Dios daytoy tapno maibales ti kinaranggas a naaramid kadagiti pitopulo a putot a lallaki ni Jerubbaal, ket ikaro ni Abimelec a kabsatda ti panangpapatayna kadakuada; ken ikaro met dagiti lallaki ti Sikem ti panangtulongda kenkuana a nangpatay kadagiti kabsatna.
25 So the men of Shechem set men in wayte for him in the toppes of the mountaines: who robbed all that passed that way by them: and it was tolde Abimelech.
Isu a nangipuesto dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem iti lallaki tapno agpadaan iti tapaw dagiti turod tapno mabalinda a saneben isuna, ket tinakawanda amin a lumabas kadakuada iti dayta a dalan. Naipadamag daytoy kenni Abimelec.
26 Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed came with his brethren, and they went to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
Immay ni Gaal nga anak ni Ebed a kaduana dagiti kabagianna ket napanda idiay Sikem. Nagtalek dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem kenkuana.
27 Therefore they went out into the field, and gathered in their grapes and troade them, and made merie, and went into the house of their gods, and did eate and drinke, and cursed Abimelech.
Napanda iti talon ket nagburasda kadagiti ubas manipud kadagiti kaubasan, ket binaddebaddekanda dagitoy. Nagrambakda iti balay ti diosda, a nanganan ken naginumanda, ket inlunodda ni Abimelec.
28 Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed sayde, Who is Abimelech? and who is Shechem, that wee should serue him? Is he not the sonne of Ierubbaal? and Zebul is his officer? Serue rather the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serue him?
Kinuna ni Gaal a putot ni Ebed, “Siasino ni Abimelec, ken siasino ni Sikem, a rumbeng a pagserbiantayo isuna? Saan kadi nga isuna ti anak ni Jerubbaal? Ken saan kadi a ni Zebul ti opisialna? Agserbitayo kadagiti lallaki ni Hamor, nga ama ni Sikem! Apay koma nga agserbitayo kenkuana?
29 Now would God this people were vnder mine hand: then would I put away Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
Adda la koma ti turayko kadagitoy a tattao! Ket ikkatek ni Abimelec. Ibagak kenni Abimelec, 'Awagam dagiti amin nga armadam.”'
30 And when Zebul the ruler of the citie heard the wordes of Gaal the sonne of Ebed, his wrath was kindled.
Idi nangngeg ni Zebul nga opisial iti siudad dagiti imbaga ni Gaal a putot a lalaki ni Ebed, simged ti ungetna.
31 Therefore he sent messengers vnto Abimelech priuily, saying, Beholde, Gaal the sonne of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem, and beholde, they fortifie the citie against thee.
Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan kenni Abimelec tapno mangallilaw, a kunana, “Adtoy, immay ni Gaal nga anak ni Ebed ken dagiti kabagianna idiay Sikem, ket rirriribukenda ti siudad a maibusor kenka.
32 Now therefore arise by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lye in wayte in the fielde.
Ita, bayat iti rabii, bumangonka ken dagiti soldado a kaduam, ket mangisaganakayo iti panangsaneb kadagiti talon.
33 And rise early in the morning as soone as the sunne is vp, and assault the citie: and when he and the people that is with him, shall come out against thee, doe to him what thou canst.
Ket iti bigat, apaman a makasingising ti init, masapaka a bumangon ket rautem ti siudad. Ket inton rummuar isuna ken dagiti tattao a kaduana a maibusor kenka, aramidem ti aniaman a kabaelam nga aramiden kadakuada.”
34 So Abimelech rose vp, and all the people that were with him by night: and they lay in wayte against Shechem in foure bandes.
Bimmangon ngarud bayat iti rabii ni Abimelec ken dagiti amin a lallaki a kaduana, ket nagsanebda a maibusor iti Sikem- nabingayda iti uppat a bunggoy.
35 Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed went out and stood in the entring of the gate of the citie: and Abimelech rose vp, and the folke that were with him, from lying in waite.
Rimmuar ni Gaal a putot ni Ebed ket nagtakder iti pagserkan iti ruangan ti siudad. Rimmuar ni Abimelec ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana manipud iti paglemlemmenganda.
36 And when Gaal sawe the people, he said to Zebul, Beholde, there come people downe from the tops of the mountaines: and Zebul said vnto him, The shadowe of the mountaines seeme men vnto thee.
Idi nakita ni Gaal dagiti tattao, kinunana kenni Zebul, “Kitaem, adda tattao a sumalsalog manipud kadagiti tapaw dagiti turod!” Kinuna ni Zebul kenkuana, “Makitkitam laeng dagiti anniniwan kadagiti turod a kaslada la tattao.”
37 And Gaal spake againe, and said, See, there come folke downe by the middle of the land, and another bande commeth by the way of the plaine of Meonenim.
Nagsao manen ni Gaal ket kinunana, “Kitaem, adda tattao a sumalsalog iti nagtengngaan ti daga, ket um-umay ti maysa a bunggoy manipud iti dalan iti lugo dagiti mammadles.”
38 Then sayd Zebul vnto him, Where is now thy mouth, that said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serue him? Is not this the people that thou hast despised? Go out now, I pray thee, and fight with them.
Ket kinuna ni Zebul kenkuana, “Ayanna ita dagiti napnoan kinatangsit a sasaom, sika a nangibaga, ‘Siasino kadi ni Abimelec a rumbeng nga agserbitayo kenkuana?’ Saan kadi a dagitoy dagiti tattao a linaismo? Rummuarka ita ket makirangetka kadakuada.”
39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Rimmuar ni Gaal ket indauloanna dagiti lallaki ti Sikem, ket nakiranget isuna kenni Abimelec.
40 But Abimelech pursued him, and he fledde before him, and many were ouerthrowen and wounded, euen vnto the entring of the gate.
Kinamat isuna ni Abimelec, ket naglibas ni Gaal iti sangoananna. Ket adu ti napasag babaen kadagiti makapatay a sugsugat iti sangoanan ti pagserkan iti ruangan ti siudad.
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Nagtalinaed ni Abimelec idiay Aruma. Pinilit a pinapanaw ni Zebul ni Gaal ken dagiti kabagianna idiay Sikem.
42 And on the morowe, the people went out into the fielde: which was tolde Abimelech.
Kabigatanna, napan dagiti tattao ti Sikem idiay talon, ket naipadamag daytoy kenni Abimelec.
43 And he tooke the people, and deuided them into three bandes, and layde wayte in the fieldes, and looked, and beholde, the people were come out of the citie, and he rose vp against them, and smote them.
Inkuyogna dagiti tattaona, biningayna ida iti tallo a bunggoy, ket nagsanebda kadagiti talon. Kimmita isuna ket nakitana dagiti tattao a rumrummuar manipud iti siudad. Ket rinaut ken pinatayna ida.
44 And Abimelech, and the bandes that were with him, russhed forwarde, and stoode in the entring of the gate of the citie: and the two other bandes ran vpon all the people that were in the fielde and slewe them.
Rimmaut ni Abimelec ken dagiti bunggoy a kaduana ken sinerraanda ti pagserkan iti ruangan ti siudad. Rinaut dagiti dua a bunggoy dagiti amin nga adda iti talon ket pinatayda dagitoy.
45 And when Abimelech had fought against the citie all that day, he tooke the citie, and slewe the people that was therein, and destroyed the citie and sowed salt in it.
Agmalmalem a nakiranget ni Abimelec iti siudad iti dayta nga aldaw. Sinakupna ti siudad, ket pinatayna dagiti tattao nga adda iti daytoy. Rinebbana dagiti pader ti siudad ket winarasanna iti asin ti rabawna daytoy.
46 And when all the men of the towre of Shechem heard it, they entred into an holde of the house of the god Berith.
Idi nangngeg daytoy dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti torre ti Sikem, simrekda iti sarikedked iti balay ni El-Berit.
47 And it was tolde Abimelech, that all the men of the towre of Shechem were gathered together.
Naibaga kenni Abimelec a naguummong dagiti amin a mangidadaulo idiay torre ti Sikem.
48 And Abimelech gate him vp to mounte Zalmon, hee and all the people that were with him: and Abimelech tooke axes with him, and cut downe boughes of trees, and tooke them, and bare them on his shoulder, and sayde vnto the folke that were with him, What ye haue seene me doe, make haste, and doe like me.
Simmang-at ni Abimelec ken dagiti amin a lallaki a kaduana idiay Bantay Zalmon. Nangala ni Abimelec iti wasay ket nangpukan kadagiti sanga. Binaklayna dagitoy ket imbilinna kadagiti lallaki a kaduana, “No ania ti nakitayo nga inaramidko, darasenyo ket aramidenyo met ti inaramidko.”
49 Then all the people also cut downe euery man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the holde, and set the holde on fire with them: so all the men of the towre of Shechem dyed also, about a thousand men and women.
Isu a nangpukan ti tunggal maysa kadagiti sanga ket sinurotda ni Abimelec. Inggabsuonda dagitoy iti rabaw iti siled iti uneg ti daga, ket pinuoranda ti rabawna daytoy, iti kasta, natay dagiti amin a tattao iti torre ti Sikem, agarup sangaribu a lallaki ken babbai.
50 Then went Abimelech to Tebez, and besieged Tebez, and tooke it.
Kalpasanna, napan ni Abimelec idiay Tebes, ket nagkampo isuna iti ruar ti Tebes ken sinakupna daytoy.
51 But there was a strong towre within the citie, and thither fledde all the men and women, and all the chiefe of the citie, and shut it to them, and went vp to the toppe of the towre.
Ngem adda maysa a natibker a torre iti siudad, ket nagkamang iti daytoy dagiti amin a lallaki ken babbai ken dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti siudad ket nagpupukda idiay. Ket immulida iti atep ti torre.
52 And Abimelech came vnto the towre and fought against it, and went hard vnto the doore of the towre to set it on fire.
Napan ni Abimelec iti torre ket rinautna daytoy, ket immasideg isuna iti ruangan ti torre tapno puoranna daytoy.
53 But a certaine woman cast a piece of a milstone vpon Abimelechs head, and brake his braine pan.
Ngem intupak ti maysa a babai ti akin-ngato a gilingan a bato iti ulo ni Abimelec ket nabuong ti bangabangana.
54 Then Abimelech called hastily his page that bare his harneis, and sayde vnto him, Drawe thy sworde and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slewe him. And his page thrust him thorowe, and he dyed.
Ket dagus nga inayaban ni Abimelec ti agtutubo a lalaki a para-iggem iti armasna, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Asutem ti kampilanmo ket patayennak, tapno awanto ti agkuna maipanggep kaniak, 'Pinatay isuna ti maysa a babai.”' Dinuyok ngarud isuna ti agtutubo a lalaki, ket natay isuna.
55 And when the men of Israel sawe that Abimelech was dead, they departed euery man vnto his owne place.
Idi nakita dagiti tattao ti Israel a natayen ni Abimelec, nagawidda iti pagtaenganda.
56 Thus God rendred the wickednes of Abimelech, which he did vnto his father, in slaying his seuentie brethren.
Ket kasta ti panangibales ti Dios iti kinadakes ni Abimelec nga inaramidna iti amana babaen iti panangpapatayna kadagiti pitopulo a kabsatna.
57 Also all the wickednes of the men of Shechem did God bring vpon their heads. So vpon them came the curse of Iotham the sonne of Ierubbaal.
Pinagsubli ti Dios dagiti amin a kinadakes dagiti lallaki ti Sikem kadagiti bukodda nga ulo ket immay kadakuada ti lunod ni Jotam nga anak ni Jerubbaal.
