1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Saulo ne ja-higni piero adek kane ochako bedo ruoth kendo nobedo ruodh Israel kuom higni piero angʼwen gariyo.
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Saulo noyiero ji alufu adek kuom jo-Israel; to kuom joma noyierogo ji alufu ariyo ne ni kode Mikmash gi pinje gode mag Bethel, to ji alufu achiel ne nigi Jonathan e gwengʼ Gibea e piny Benjamin. To ji duto modongʼ nonyiso nodog miechgi.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Jonathan nomonjo kambi man Geba mar jolwenj jo-Filistia kendo jo-Filistia nowinjo wachno. Eka Saulo nochiko mondo ogo tungʼ e piny duto mi owacho niya, “We jo-Hibrania owinji!”
4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Omiyo jo-Israel duto nowinjo wach ni Saulo osemonjo kambi jo-Filistia kendo koro jo-Filistia oselo gi jo-Israel. Mine oluong ji mondo odhi ir Saulo Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
Jo-Filistia nochokore mar kedo gi jo-Israel, ka gin gi geche alufu adek, gi geche mag farese alufu auchiel, gi jolweny mathoth ka kwoyo man e dho nam. Negiwuok mi gidhi gibworo Mikmash man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Beth Aven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
Kane jo-Israel oneno kaka wach chal kuomgi kendo ni jolwenjgi othungʼ marach, ne gipondo e rogo, e bunge, e kind lwendni, e buche matut, e soko.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Jo-Hibrania moko nongʼado aora Jordan modhi e piny Gad gi Gilead. Saulo to nodongʼ Gilgal, to jolwenje mane ni kode ne tetni ka luoro omakogi.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had [appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Norito Samuel kuom ndalo abiriyo kaka Samuel nosechiko, to Samuel ne ok obiro Gilgal kendo joma ne nigi Saulo nochako ke.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
Omiyo nowacho niya, “Kelnauru gima itimogo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mar lalruok.” Kendo Saulo nochiwo misango miwangʼo pep.
10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
E sa ma ne otieko chiwo misangono, Samuel nochopo kendo Saulo nodhi mondo omose.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
Samuel nopenje niya, “Angʼo misetimoni?” Saulo nodwoke niya, “Kane aneno ka ji ke to in bende pok ibiro e sa mane oketi, to jo-Filistia bende chokore Mikmash,
12 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
ne aparo ni, ‘Koro jo-Filistia biro monja Gilgal, ka pod ok apenjo kendo pod ok akwayo Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonya.’ Omiyo ne aneno ni ochuna ni nyaka achiw misango miwangʼo pep.”
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Samuel nowachone niya, “Isetimo tim mofuwo. Ok iserito chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi omiyi; ka dine iriti, to doguro pinyruodhi e Israel nyaka chiengʼ.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
To koro pinyruodhi ok bi siko, Jehova Nyasaye oseyudo ngʼat ma chunye chal gi mare kendo osekete, mondo otel ne joge, nikech in ok iserito chik mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
Eka Samuel noa Gilgal modhi Gibea e piny Benjamin, kendo Saulo nokwano joma ne ni kode mine oyudo ni gin ji madirom mia auchiel.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Saulo gi wuode Jonathan kod ji mane ni kodgi nobet Gibea e piny Benjamin, to jo-Filistia nojot Mikmash.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
Sidienje adek mag jolwenj jo-Filistia nowuok e kambi margi, migawo mokwongo nodhi momonjo jo-Ofra e piny Shual,
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
to machielo nochiko Beth Horon mar adek nodhi e tongʼ mochiko Holo mar Zeboim mochimo kuma otimo ongoro.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
Ne onge jotheth e piny Israel mangima nikech jo-Filistia nosewacho niya, “Ka kamano to jo-Hibrania biro loso ligengini kod tonge!”
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
Omiyo jo-Israel duto ne odhi e piny jo-Filistia mondo opiag kuegi, saruru, ledhi kod musmeno mar ngʼado lum.
21 yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
Nengo mar piago kwer gi saruru ne en ariyo ewi adek mar Shekel, nengo mar piago uma gi le ne en achiel ewi adek mar Shekel, kata mar rieyo bidhi.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
Omiyo chiengʼ lweny onge jalweny moro amora mane nigi Saulo kod Jonathan mane nigi ligangla kata tongʼ e lwete; makmana Saulo gi Jonathan kende ema ne ni kod ligangla gi tongʼ.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.
Koro jolwenj jo-Filistia nosekadho modhi Mikmash.
