1 Samuel 11
1 After about a month, Nahash the Ammonite came up and camped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."
Ary Nahasy Amonita niakatra ka nitoby tandrifin’ i Jabesi-gileada; dia hoy ny mponina rehetra tao Jabesy tamin’ i Nahasy: Manaova fanekena aminay, dia hanompo anao izahay.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that all your right eyes are put out; and I will make it a disgrace on all Israel."
Fa hoy Nahasy Amonita: Izao no hanaovako fanekena aminareo: hopotsirina ny masonareo ankavanana rehetra, ka hataoko fandatsana ny Isiraely rehetra izany.
3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."
Fa hoy ny loholon’ i Jabesy taminy: Omeo andro hafitoana izahay, mba hanirahanay olona ho any amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ka raha tàhiny tsy misy olona hamonjy anay, dia hivoaka hanatona anao izahay.
4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Dia tonga tany Gibean’ i Saoly ny iraka ka nanambara ny teniny teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka; dia nanandratra ny feony ny vahoaka rehetra ka nitomany.
5 Look, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, "What ails the people that they weep?" They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
Ary, indro, Saoly tonga nandroaka ny omby avy tany an-tsaha ka nanao hoe: Inona izato nanjo ny olona, no mitomany izy? Ary nambarany azy ny tenin’ ny mponina tao Jabesy.
6 The Spirit of God came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
Dia nilatsaka tamin’ i Saoly ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, ka nirehitra mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Saoly, raha nandre izany teny izany.
7 He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever doesn't come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
Dia naka omby roa izy, ka norasainy ireo, dia nampitondrainy ny iraka ho any amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nataony hoe: Na iza na iza tsy mivoaka hanaraka an’ i Saoly sy Samoela, dia tahaka ireny no hanaovana ny ombiny. Dia nahazo ny olona ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah, ka nivoaka toy ny olona iray ihany izy.
8 He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Ary nandamina azy tany Bezeka izy, dia telo hetsy no isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary telo alina no isan’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda.
9 And he said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall tell the men of Jabesh, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'" The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny iraka izay tonga teo: Izao no holazainareo amin’ ny mponina ao Jabesi-gileada: Rahampitso ilay efa mafampana iny dia hisy famonjena ho anareo. Dia tonga ny iraka ka nanambara izany tamin’ ny mponina tao Jabesy; ka dia faly ireo.
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you."
Ary hoy ny mponina tao Jabesy: Rahampitso no hivoahanay ho eny aminareo, dia hataonareo aminay izay rehetra sitrakareo.
11 It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Ary nony maraina, dia nozarain’ i Saoly ho telo toko ny olona, ka tonga teo amin’ ny toby tamin’ ny fiambenana maraina izy ary namely ny Amonita mandra-pahafampanan’ ny andro; koa izay sisa dia niely patrana, ka tsy nisy olona tafaraka na dia hatramin’ ny roa aza.
12 And the people said to Samuel, "Who is it that said Saul should not reign over us? Bring those men so we may put them to death."
Ary hoy ny vahoaka tamin’ i Samoela: Iza moa no nanao hoe: Saoly va no hanjaka aminay? Atolory ireny olona ireny hataonay maty.
13 Saul said, "There shall not a man be put to death this day; for today the LORD has worked deliverance in Israel."
Fa hoy Saoly: Tsy hisy olona hatao maty anio; fa androany no nanaovan’ i Jehovah famonjena teo amin’ ny Isiraely.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."
Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ ny vahoaka: Andeha isika hankany Gilgala hanavao ny fanjakana any.
15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
Dia lasa ny vahoaka nankany Gilgala; ary tany Gilgala no nananganany an’ i Saoly ho mpanjaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary tany no nanaterany fanati-pihavanana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia nifaly indrindra teo Saoly mbamin’ ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely.
