< 1 Samuel 13 >

1 Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and, when he had reigned two years over Israel,
Saul el yac ... matu ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum fin mwet Israel ke lusen yac ... ac luo.
2 Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel, of whom there were with Saul, two thousand in Michmash and in the hill-country of Bethel, and, a thousand, were with Jonathan, in Gibeah of Benjamin, —but, the rest of the people, he let go, every man to his own home.
Saul el sulela tolu tausin mwet Israel, ac el sruokya luo tausin selos in muta yorol in acn Michmash ac infulan eol Bethel, na el supwalla Jonathan, wen natul, ac sie tausin selos nu Gibeah, siti se in facl sin sruf lal Benjamin. Mwet nukewa lula el supwalik nu acn selos.
3 Then did Jonathan smite the garrison of Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it, —and, Saul, blew with a horn throughout all the land saying, Let the Hebrews hear!
Jonathan el uniya captain lun mwet Philistia in acn Geba, ac mwet Philistia nukewa elos lohngak. Na Saul el supwalik mwet utuk kas tuh elos in som ac ukya mwe ukuk in facl sac nufon in pangoneni mwet Hebrew nu ke mweun.
4 And, all Israel, heard say—Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines, Moreover, also, Israel have made themselves odious among the Philistines, —so the people were called together to follow Saul, to Gilgal.
Fwackyuk nu sin mwet Israel nukewa lah Saul el uniya captain lun mwet Philistia, ac mwet Philistia elos arulana kwaselos. Ke ma inge, mwet Israel elos insesela in som osun nu sel Saul in acn Gilgal.
5 And, the Philistines, gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, a people also like the sand that is on the sea-shore for multitude, —and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
Mwet Philistia elos toeni nu sie in mweun lain mwet Israel. Oasr chariot in mweun tolngoul tausin natulos, ac onkosr tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac pisen mwet mweun lalos pus oana puk weacn uh. Elos utyak nu Michmash, kutulap in acn Bethaven, ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos we.
6 So, the men of Israel, saw they were in a strait, for the people had been harassed, —and the people had hidden themselves in caves, and in thickets, and among cliffs, and in holes, and in pits.
Na elos oru mweun na upa se lain mwet Israel. Ke mwet Israel elos arulana fosrnga, kutu selos wikla in luf srisrik ac luf lulap pe eol uh, ac inmasrlon eot lulap, ac in laf, ac luin luf in kof.
7 And, Hebrews, had passed over the Jordan, to the land of Gad, and Gilead, —but, Saul, was yet in Gilgal, and all the people, trembled after him.
Ac kutu selos kaing sasla Infacl Jordan nu in acn Gad ac Gilead. Saul el srakna muta Gilgal, ac mwet su welul elos sangeng ac rarrar.
8 And he waited seven days, by the set time that Samuel had named, but Samuel came not to Gilgal, —and the people were scattered from him.
Saul el muta soanel Samuel ke len itkosr in oana ma Samuel el tuh sapkin, tusruktu Samuel el soenna tuku nu Gilgal. Na mwet su welul Saul inge mutawauk in fahsrelik.
9 Then said Saul, Bring near unto me, the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Use mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo.” Na el kisakin mwe kisa firir.
10 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of offering up the ascending-sacrifice, lo! Samuel, had come, —and Saul went out to meet him, that he might bless him.
Ke el tufahna tari, Samuel el tuku. Saul el illa in osun nu sel ac paingul.
11 Then said Samuel—What hast thou done? And Saul said—Because I saw that the people had been scattered from me, and, thou, hadst not come within the appointed days, and, the Philistines, had gathered themselves together to Michmash,
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Mea se kom oru an?” Ac Saul el topuk, “Mwet uh mutawauk som likiyu, ac kom tia tuku ke pacl se kom tuh fahk ah. Sayen ma sacn, mwet Philistia elos toeni tari nu Michmash.
12 therefore I said—Now, will the Philistines come down against me, at Gilgal, but, the face of Yahweh, have I not appeased: So I forced myself, and offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
Nga sifacna nunku tuh mwet Philistia elos ac tuku lainyu inge in Gilgal, ac nga soenna srike in siyuk tuh LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoyeyu. Na pa nga nunku mu nga enenu na in oru sie mwe kisa.”
13 And Samuel said unto Saul—Thou hast shewn thyself foolish, —thou hast not kept the commandment of Yahweh thy God, which he commanded thee, for, now, would Yahweh have established thy kingdom unto Israel until times age-abiding;
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Ma na lalfon se pa kom oru an. Kom tiana akos ma LEUM GOD lom El sapkin nu sum. Kom funu akos, El lukun sot tuh kom ac fwil nutum in leum fin mwet Israel nwe tok.
14 Whereas, now, shall thy kingdom not be established, —Yahweh hath sought out for him a man after his own heart, and Yahweh hath commanded him to be leader over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Yahweh commanded thee.
Tuh inge, kom ac fah tia tokosra paht. Ke sripen kom tia akos, LEUM GOD El ac fah suk sie mwet ma sun insial, ac oru tuh elan leum fin mwet lal.”
15 And Samuel arose, and ascended from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were found with him, about six hundred men.
Ac Samuel el fahsr liki acn Gilgal ac som inkanek lal. Mwet lula nukewa welul Saul som in weang mwet mweun lal. Elos som liki acn Gilgal nu Gibeah in acn lun Benjamin. Saul el oek mwet lula lal inge tuh na oasr mwet onfoko ma.
16 Now, Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with him, were abiding in Geba of Benjamin, —but, the Philistines, had encamped in Michmash.
Saul ac Jonathan, wen natul, ac mwet su welulos elos tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos in Geba in fahl Benjamin. Nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia oasr in Michmash.
17 And the spoilers came forth out of the camp of the Philistines, in three companies, the first company, turned unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
Mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos illa liki lohm nuknuk selos in u tolu, in oru mweun lukma lalos. Sie u ah som ke innek nu Ophrah, su oasr in facl Shual.
18 and, the second company, turned unto the way of Beth-horon, —and, the third company, turned unto the way of the boundary that overlooketh the valley of Zeboim, towards the wilderness.
Sie u ah som ke innek nu Beth Horon, ac sie u ah som nu fineol ma ngeti nu Infahlfal Zeboim ac yen mwesis uh.
19 Now, a smith, could not be found, throughout all the land of Israel—for the Philistines had said, Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear.
Wangin mwet orekma ke osra fin acn Israel nufon, mweyen mwet Philistia elos tiana lela mwet Hebrew in orek osra in fakfuk ku cutlass. (
20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, —to sharpen every man his share, and his mattock, and his axe, and his sickle.
Mwet Israel elos enenu na elos in som nu yurin mwet Philistia in tete mwe kulkul, mwe pukpuk, tuhla, ac mitmit in imom natulos.
21 Howbeit they had a file for the sickles, and the mattocks, and the three-pronged forks, and the axes, —and for setting the goads.
Molin tete tuhla ac mitmit pa ipin mani se. Molin tete mwe kulkul ac mwe pukpuk pa ipin mani luo.)
22 Thus would it come to pass, in the day of battle, that there was found—neither sword nor spear, in the hand of any of the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan, but such were found belonging to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
Ouinge, ke len in mweun lalos ah, wangin mwet Israel oasr osra in fakfuk ku cutlass natulos, sayal Saul ac Jonathan.
23 Now the garrison of the Philistines had come out to the pass of Michmash.
Mwet Philistia elos supwala un mwet mweun in karingin Innek in Utyak nu Michmash.
