Judges 9
1 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's 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 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over 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 And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, 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 gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, 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 unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
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, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was 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 Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that Elohim may hearken unto 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 forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
Iti naminsan, napan dagiti kayo tapno mangpulot iti arida. Ket kinunada iti kayo nga olibo, 'Iturayannakami.'
9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour Elohim and man, and go to be promoted over the 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 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
Kinuna dagiti kayo iti kayo nga igos, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over 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 said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
Kinuna dagiti kayo iti ubas, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth Elohim and man, and go to be promoted over 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 unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
Ket kinuna dagiti amin a kayo iti nasiit a mula, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour 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 have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
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 adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
- ken panunotenyo a nakigubat ti amak gapu kadakayo, insakripisyona ti biagna, ket inispalnakayo manipud iti ima ti Midian-
18 And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he 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 have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in 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 fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour 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 Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear 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 When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
Nagturay ni Abimelec iti Israel iti las-ud ti tallo a tawen.
23 Then Elohim sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with 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 cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of 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 And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told 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 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over 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 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their elohim, and did eat and drink, 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 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve 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 And would to Elohim this people were under my hand! then would I remove 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 city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
Idi nangngeg ni Zebul nga opisial iti siudad dagiti imbaga ni Gaal a putot a lalaki ni Ebed, simged ti ungetna.
31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city 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 up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
Ita, bayat iti rabii, bumangonka ken dagiti soldado a kaduam, ket mangisaganakayo iti panangsaneb kadagiti talon.
33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
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 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
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 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.
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 saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
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 again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain 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 said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, 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 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
Kabigatanna, napan dagiti tattao ti Sikem idiay talon, ket naipadamag daytoy kenni Abimelec.
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up 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 company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew 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 Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
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 tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the el Berith.
Idi nangngeg daytoy dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti torre ti Sikem, simrekda iti sarikedked iti balay ni El-Berit.
47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
Naibaga kenni Abimelec a naguummong dagiti amin a mangidadaulo idiay torre ti Sikem.
48 And Abimelech got him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
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 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died 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 Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
Kalpasanna, napan ni Abimelec idiay Tebes, ket nagkampo isuna iti ruar ti Tebes ken sinakupna daytoy.
51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and got them up to the top of the tower.
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 unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Napan ni Abimelec iti torre ket rinautna daytoy, ket immasideg isuna iti ruangan ti torre tapno puoranna daytoy.
53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.
Ngem intupak ti maysa a babai ti akin-ngato a gilingan a bato iti ulo ni Abimelec ket nabuong ti bangabangana.
54 Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
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 saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
Idi nakita dagiti tattao ti Israel a natayen ni Abimelec, nagawidda iti pagtaenganda.
56 Thus Elohim rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
Ket kasta ti panangibales ti Dios iti kinadakes ni Abimelec nga inaramidna iti amana babaen iti panangpapatayna kadagiti pitopulo a kabsatna.
57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did Elohim render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
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.
