< 1 Samuel 14 >
1 Now it happened one day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' outpost, that is on the other side yonder. But unto his father he told nothing.
Ní ọjọ́ kan, Jonatani ọmọ Saulu wí fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó ń ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a rékọjá lọ sí ìlú olódi àwọn Filistini tí ó wà ní ìhà kejì.” Ṣùgbọ́n kò sọ fún baba rẹ̀.
2 And Saul tarried in the lower part of Gib'ah under the pomegranate tree which is by Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men.
Saulu sì dúró ní ìhà etí ìpínlẹ̀ Gibeah lábẹ́ igi pomegiranate èyí tí ó wà ní Migroni. Àwọn ẹgbẹ̀ta ọkùnrin sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀,
3 And Achiyah, the son of Achitub, the brother of I-chabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of 'Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, wore the ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
lára wọn ni Ahijah, tí ó wọ efodu. Òun ni ọmọ arákùnrin Ikabodu Ahitubu, ọmọ Finehasi, ọmọ Eli, àlùfáà Olúwa ní Ṣilo kò sí ẹni tí ó mọ̀ pé Jonatani ti lọ.
4 And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the outpost of the Philistines, there was a sharp point of rock on the one side, and a sharp point of rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Ní ọ̀nà tí Jonatani ti ń fẹ́ láti kọjá dé ìlú olódi àwọn Filistini, ní bèbè òkúta mímú kan wá, orúkọ èkínní sì ń jẹ́ Bosesi, orúkọ èkejì sì ń jẹ́ Sene.
5 The one point rose up abruptly northward opposite Michmash, and the other southward opposite Geba'.
Bèbè òkúta kan dúró sí àríwá ní ìhà Mikmasi, èkejì sì wà ní gúúsù ní ìhà Gibeah.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the outpost of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by means of many or by means of few.
Jonatani sì wí fún ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó ń ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Wá, jẹ́ kí a lọ sí ìlú olódi àwọn aláìkọlà yìí. Bóyá Olúwa yóò jà fún wa, kò sí ohun tó lè di Olúwa lọ́wọ́ láti gbàlà, yálà nípasẹ̀ púpọ̀ tàbí nípasẹ̀ díẹ̀.”
7 And his armor-bearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
Ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ sì wí pé, “Ṣe gbogbo ohun tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ, tẹ̀síwájú, Èmi wà pẹ̀lú ọkàn àti ẹ̀mí rẹ.”
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will show ourselves unto them.
Jonatani sì wí pé, “Wá nígbà náà, àwa yóò rékọjá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí, kí a sì jẹ́ kí wọ́n rí wa.
9 If they say thus unto us, Stand still until we come to you: then will we remain standing in our places, and will not go up unto them.
Bí wọ́n bá sọ fún wa pé, ‘Ẹ dúró títí àwa yóò fi tọ̀ yín wá,’ àwa yóò dúró sí ibi tí a wà, àwa kì yóò sì gòkè tọ̀ wọ́n lọ.
10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us: then will we go up; for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand; and this shall be unto us the sign.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí wọ́n bá wí pé, ‘Ẹ gòkè tọ̀ wá wá,’ àwa yóò gòkè lọ, nítorí èyí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì fún wa pé Olúwa ti fi wọ́n lé wa lọ́wọ́.”
11 And when both of them showed themselves unto the outpost of the Philistines, the Philistines said, Behold, Hebrews are coming forth out of the holes wherein they have hidden themselves.
Báyìí ní àwọn méjèèjì sì fi ara wọn hàn fún ìlú olódi Filistini. Àwọn Filistini sì wí pé, “Wò ó! Àwọn Heberu ń yọ jáde wá láti inú ihò tí wọ́n fi ara wọn pamọ́ sí.”
12 And the men of the outpost addressed Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will let you know something. Then said Jonathan unto his armor-bearer, Come up after me; for the Lord hath given them up into the hand of Israel.
Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú olódi náà sì kígbe sí Jonatani àti ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ gòkè tọ̀ wá wá àwa yóò sì kọ́ ọ yín ní ẹ̀kọ́.” Jonatani sì wí fún ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Gòkè tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn; Olúwa ti fi wọ́n lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́.”
13 And Jonathan then ascended upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer was killing after him.
Jonatani lo ọwọ́ àti ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ láti fà gòkè pẹ̀lú ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀. Àwọn Filistini sì ṣubú níwájú Jonatani ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ sì tẹ̀lé e, ó sì ń pa lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀.
14 And that first defeat, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer caused, was about twenty men, within about the half of a field, which a yoke of oxen might plough.
Ní ìkọlù èkínní yìí, Jonatani àti ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ sì pa ogún ọkùnrin ní agbègbè tó tó ìwọ̀n ààbọ̀ sáré ilẹ̀.
15 And there arose a terror in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the outposts, and the free-booters, they also were terrified, and the earth quaked; and it became a very great terror.
Nígbà náà ni ìbẹ̀rùbojo bá àwọn ọmọ-ogun; àwọn tí ó wà ní ibùdó àti ní pápá, àti àwọn tí ó wà ní ilé ìlú olódi àti àwọn tí ń kó ìkógun, ilẹ̀ sì mì. Ó jẹ́ ìbẹ̀rù tí ó ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá.
16 And the watchers of Saul in Gib'ah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude became scattered, and ran hither and thither.
Àwọn tí ó ń ṣọ́nà fún Saulu ní Gibeah ti Benjamini sì rí àwọn ọmọ-ogun ń túká ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.
17 Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone away from us. And they mustered, and, behold, there was neither Jonathan nor his armor-bearer.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ ka àwọn ènìyàn kí ẹ sì mọ ẹni tí ó jáde kúrò nínú wa.” Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, sì wò ó, Jonatani àti ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ ni kò sì sí níbẹ̀.
18 And Saul said unto Achiyah, Bring hither the ark of God; for the ark of God was on that day with the children of Israel.
Saulu sì wí fún Ahijah pé, “Gbé àpótí Ọlọ́run wá.” Àpótí Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ìgbà náà.
19 And it happened, while Saul was speaking unto the priest, that the confusion which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased more and more: And Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
Nígbà tí Saulu sì ń bá àlùfáà sọ̀rọ̀, ariwo ní ibùdó àwọn Filistini sì ń pọ̀ síwájú sí. Saulu sì wí fún àlùfáà pé, “Dá ọwọ́ rẹ dúró.”
20 And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and, behold, the sword of every man was against his fellow, the disorder being very great.
Saulu àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ sì péjọ, wọ́n sì lọ sí ojú ìjà. Wọ́n sì bá gbogbo àwọn Filistini ní ìdàrúdàpọ̀ ńlá, idà olúkúlùkù sì wà lára ọmọ ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.
21 And the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as before that time, those namely who had gone up with them, were in the camp round about; but these also resolved to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
Àwọn Heberu tí ó ti wà lọ́dọ̀ àwọn Filistini tẹ́lẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì ti gòkè tẹ̀lé wọn lọ sí àgọ́ wọn wá sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí wọ́n ti wà pẹ̀lú Saulu àti Jonatani.
22 And all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves on the mountain of Ephraim, heard that the Philistines had fled; and they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn Israẹli tí ó ti pa ara wọn mọ́ nínú òkè ńlá Efraimu gbọ́ pé àwọn Filistini sá, wọ́n darapọ̀ mọ́ ìjà náà ní ìlépa gbígbóná.
23 So the Lord saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa sì gba Israẹli ní ọjọ́ náà, ìjà náà sì rékọjá sí Beti-Afeni.
24 And the men of Israel were hard urged that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food until the evening, until I have been avenged on my enemies. And the whole people tasted thus no food.
Gbogbo ọkùnrin Israẹli sì wà ní ìpọ́njú ńlá ní ọjọ́ náà, nítorí pé Saulu ti fi àwọn ènìyàn gégùn ún wí pé, “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó jẹ oúnjẹ títí di alẹ́, títí èmi yóò fi gbẹ̀san mi lára àwọn ọ̀tá mi!” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹnìkankan nínú ọ̀wọ́ ogun náà tí ó fi ẹnu kan oúnjẹ.
25 And [the men of] all the land came to a forest; and there was honey upon the surface of the field.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì wọ inú igbó, oyin sì wà lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
26 And when the people were come into the forest, behold, there was a stream of honey; but no one put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé inú igbó náà, wọ́n sì rí oyin ń sun jáde, kò sí ẹni tí ó fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kan ẹnu rẹ̀ síbẹ̀, nítorí pé wọ́n bẹ̀rù ìfiré.
27 But Jonathan had not heard his father charging the people with the oath; he therefore put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in a honey-comb, and carried his hand again to his mouth; and his eyes became clear.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jonatani kò gbọ́ pé baba rẹ̀ ti fi ìfibú kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì tẹ orí ọ̀pá tí ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ bọ afárá oyin náà, ó sì fi sí ẹnu rẹ̀, ojú rẹ̀ sì dán.
28 Then commenced one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food this day; though the people were faint.
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ fún un pé, “Baba rẹ fi ìfibú kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó jẹ oúnjẹ ní òní!’ Ìdí nìyìí tí àárẹ̀ fi mú àwọn ènìyàn.”
29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes become clear, because I have tasted a little of this honey.
Jonatani sì wí pé, “Baba mi ti mú ìdààmú bá ìlú, wò ó bí ojú mi ti dán nígbà tí mo fi ẹnu kan oyin yìí.
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely this day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not have been now a greater defeat among the Philistines?
Báwo ni kò bá ti dára tó bí àwọn ènìyàn bá ti jẹ nínú ìkógun àwọn ọ̀tá wọn lónìí, pípa àwọn Filistini ìbá ti pọ̀ tó?”
31 And they smote on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Ayalon; and the people were very faint.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti pa nínú àwọn Filistini láti Mikmasi dé Aijaloni, ó sì rẹ àwọn ènìyàn náà.
32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and young steers, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat upon the blood.
Wọ́n sáré sí ìkógun náà, wọ́n sì mú àgùntàn. Màlúù àti ọmọ màlúù, wọ́n pa wọ́n sórí ilẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ wọ́n papọ̀ tẹ̀jẹ́tẹ̀jẹ̀.
33 And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people are sinning against the Lord, in eating upon the blood. And he [then] said, Ye have acted treacherously: roll [hither] unto me this day a great stone.
Nígbà náà ni ẹnìkan sì wí fún Saulu pé, “Wò ó, àwọn ènìyàn tí ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa nípa jíjẹ ẹran tí ó ní ẹ̀jẹ̀ lára.” Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín ti pọ̀jù, yí òkúta ńlá sí ibi nísinsin yìí.”
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring near unto me every man his ox, and every man his lamb, and slaughter here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating by the blood. And all the people brought near every man his ox by his hand that night, and slaughtered [them] there.
Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Ẹ jáde lọ sáàrín àwọn ènìyàn náà kí ẹ sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Kí olúkúlùkù wọn mú màlúù àti àgùntàn tirẹ̀ tọ̀ mí wá, kí wọ́n sì pa wọ́n níhìn-ín, kí wọ́n sì jẹ́.

35 And Saul built an altar unto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord.
Nígbà náà Saulu kọ́ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa; èyí sì jẹ́ ìgbà àkọ́kọ́ tí ó kọ́kọ́ ṣe èyí.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning-light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good in thy eyes. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ Filistini lọ ní òru, kí a bá wọn jà títí di ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀, kí a má ṣì ṣe dá ẹnìkankan sí nínú wọn.” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ṣe ohun tí ó bá dára ní ojú rẹ̀.” Ṣùgbọ́n àlùfáà wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a ṣe ìwádìí lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run níhìn-ín.”
37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not on that day.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run pé, “Ṣé kí n sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ àwọn Filistini lọ bí? Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ yóò fi wọ́n lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́ bí?” Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run kò dá a lóhùn ní ọjọ́ náà.
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see through what this sin hath happened this day.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ wá síyìn-ín ín, gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ jẹ́ olórí ogun, kí a ṣe ìwádìí irú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ẹ ti ṣẹ̀ lónìí.
39 For, as the Lord liveth, who saveth Israel, that if it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But no one answered him among all the people.
Bí Olúwa tí ó gba Israẹli là ti wà, bí ó bá ṣe pé a rí í lára Jonatani ọmọ mi, ó ní láti kú.” Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkankan nínú wọn kò sọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan.
40 Then said he unto all Israel, Ye shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu wí fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, “Ẹ lọ sí apá kan; èmi àti Jonatani ọmọ mi yóò lọ sí apá kan.” Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì dáhùn pé, “Ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ ní ojú rẹ.”
41 And Saul said unto the Lord, God of Israel, O, show forth the perfect truth. And Jonathan and Saul were seized; but the people came forth [free].
Nígbà náà ni Saulu gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli pé, “Fún mi ní ìdáhùn tí ó tọ́.” A sì mú Jonatani àti Saulu nípa ìbò dídì, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì yege.
42 And Saul said, Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was seized.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ dìbò láàrín èmi àti Jonatani ọmọ mi.” Ìbò náà sì mú Jonatani.
43 Then said Saul to Jonathan, Do tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste with the end of the staff that was in my hand a little honey: lo, I am willing to die.
Saulu sì wí fún Jonatani pé, “Sọ nǹkan tí ìwọ ṣe fún mi.” Jonatani sì sọ fún un pé, “Mo kàn fi orí ọ̀pá mi tọ́ oyin díẹ̀ wò. Nísinsin yìí ṣé mo ní láti kú?”
44 And Saul said, May God do thus now, and in future also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
Saulu sì wí pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ sí mi, nítorí pé ìwọ Jonatani yóò sá à kú dandan.”
45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This shall not be: as the Lord liveth, there shall not fall one hair of his head to the ground; for with God hath he wrought this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, and he died not.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn wí fún Saulu pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó yẹ kí Jonatani kú, ẹni tí ó ti mú ìgbàlà ńlá yìí wá fún Israẹli? Kí a má rí í! Bí Olúwa ti wà, ọ̀kan nínú irun orí rẹ̀ kì yóò bọ́ sílẹ̀, nítorí tí ó ṣe èyí pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́.” Báyìí ni àwọn ènìyàn gba Jonatani sílẹ̀, kò sì kú.
46 Then went Saul up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
Nígbà náà ni Saulu sì dẹ́kun lílépa àwọn Filistini, àwọn Filistini sì padà sí ìlú wọn.
47 So Saul strengthened himself in the government over Israel; and he fought on every side against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the children of 'Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he caused terror.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Saulu ti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, ó sì bá gbogbo ọ̀tá wọn jà yíká: Moabu àti àwọn ọmọ Ammoni; Edomu, àti àwọn ọba Soba, àti àwọn Filistini. Ibikíbi tí ó bá kọjú sí, ó máa ń fi ìyà jẹ wọ́n.
48 And he gathered an army, and he smote the 'Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those that spoiled them.
Ó sì jà tagbára tagbára, ó ṣẹ́gun àwọn Amaleki, ó sì ń gba Israẹli sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó ń kọlù wọ́n.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Yishvi, and Malkishua': and the names of his two daughters—the name of the first-born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
Àwọn ọmọ Saulu sì ni Jonatani, Iṣifi àti Malikiṣua. Orúkọ ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ àgbà sì ni Merabu àti orúkọ ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ kékeré ni Mikali.
50 And the name of Saul's wife was Achino'am, the daughter of Achima'az: and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
Orúkọ ìyàwó rẹ̀ ní Ahinoamu ọmọbìnrin Ahimasi. Orúkọ olórí ogun rẹ̀ ni Abneri ọmọ Neri arákùnrin baba Saulu.
51 And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, were each the son of Abiel.
Kiṣi baba Saulu àti Neri baba Abneri wọ́n sì jẹ́ ọmọ Abieli.
52 And the war against the Philistines was violent all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto himself.
Ní gbogbo ọjọ́ Saulu, ogun náà sì gbóná sí àwọn Filistini, níbikíbi tí Saulu bá sì ti rí alágbára tàbí akíkanjú ọkùnrin, a sì mú u láti máa bá a ṣiṣẹ́.
