< 1 Samuel 14 >

1 And it came about, on a certain day, that Jonathan son of Saul said unto the young man bearing his armour: Come! and let us pass over unto the garrison of the Philistines, that is on the other side, yonder! but, to his father, he told it not.
Sie len ah Jonathan el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su us mwe mweun lal, “Fahsru, kut som nu ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia layeno.” Tuh Jonathan el tiana fahk nu sel Saul, papa tumal.
2 Now, Saul, was tarrying in the uttermost part of Gibeah, under the pomegranate tree that is in Migron, —and, the people that were with him, were about six hundred men;
Saul el mutangan aktuktuk ye sak pomegranate soko in acn Migron, apkuran nu Gibeah. Akuran mwet mweun onfoko welul.
3 and, Ahijah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, was priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod, —and, the people, knew not that Jonathan had departed.
(Mwet tol se su us nuknuk se pangpang ephod in pacl sacn pa Ahijah, wen natul Ahitub su ma lel Ichabod. Ahitub el ma natul Phinehas natul Eli, mwet tol lun LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh.) Mwet uh tiana etu lah Jonathan el som tari.
4 And, between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over up to the garrison of the Philistines, there was a crag of rock on the one side, and a crag of rock on the other side; and, the name of the one, was Bozez, and the name of the other, Seneh.
Ke Innek in Utyak nu Michmash, su Jonathan el enenu in ut we tuh elan sun acn mwet Philistia elos muta we, oasr eot ngarngar na lulap luo mutun acn sac — sie oan lac, ac sie oan lac. Sie eot inge pangpang Bozez, ac sie pangpang Seneh.
5 The one crag, was a pillar on the north, over against Michmash, —and, the other, on the south, over against Geba.
Sie eot ah oan nu epang, layen nu Michmash, ac sie oan nu eir, layen nu Geba.
6 So Jonathan said unto the young man bearing his armour—Come! and let us cross over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised, peradventure, Yahweh may work by us, —for there is no restraint with Yahweh, to save by many, or by few.
Na Jonathan el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su welul ah, “Fahsru, kut som nu ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet pegan ingo. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac kasrekut, na fin pwaye, wanginna ma ac ikolya Elan ase kutangla nu sesr, kut finne mwet pu.”
7 And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart, —decide for thyself (lo! I am with thee!), according to thine own heart.
Na mwet fusr sac fahk, “Ma na kom oru an, nga ac wi.”
8 Then said Jonathan, Lo! we, are crossing over unto the men, —and will discover ourselves unto them.
Ac Jonathan el fahk, “Wona. Kut fahsr sasla innek ah, mwet Philistia in liye kut.
9 If, thus, they say unto us, Keep quiet until we get to you, then will we stand still where we are, and will not go up unto them;
Elos fin mu kut in tui ac soano elos in tuku nu yorosr, na kut ac tuina yen sac.
10 but, if thus, they say, Come up unto us, then will we go up; for Yahweh hath delivered them into our hand, —This, then, is our sign.
A elos fin fahk kut in som nu yorolos, na kut ac som, mweyen pa ingan akul se ma akkalemye lah LEUM GOD El ase tari kutangla nu sesr.”
11 So they two discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines, —and the Philistines said—Lo! Hebrews, coming forth out of the holes, wherein they had hidden themselves.
Ouinge eltal sifacna oru mwet Philistia ah in liyaltalak. Na mwet Philistia elos fahk, “Liye, kutu mwet Hebrew pa otyak liki lufin wikwik selos ah!”
12 And the men of the garrison responded to Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said—Come up unto us, and we will let you know a thing. Then said Jonathan unto his armour-bearer—Come up after me, for Yahweh hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
Elos pangnol Jonathan ac mwet fusr sac ac fahk, “Fanyak nu yorosr. Oasr ma kut ke fahk nu sumtal.” Na Jonathan el fahk nu sin mwet fusr sac, “Fahsr tukuk. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sin Israel fin mwet inge.”
13 So Jonathan went up on his hands and on his feet, and, his armour-bearer, followed him, —and they fell before Jonathan, and, his armour-bearer, was slaying after him.
Jonathan el kulakak ke paol ac intwel, ac mwet fusr sac fanyak tokol. Jonathan el sruokya mwet Philistia ekasr ac siseltali nu ten. Na mwet fusr sac onelosi.
14 And the first smiting wherewith Jonathan and his armour-bearer smote, was about twenty men, —within, as it were, half a furrow’s length of a yoke of land.
Ke anwuk se meet inge, Jonathan ac mwet fusr sac uniya akuran mwet longoul ke acn na srisrik se, sahp tafun eka lupa.
15 And there came to be a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the outposts and the spoilers, they too, trembled, —and the earth quaked, so it became a preternatural trembling.
Mwet Philistia nukewa in acn sac arulana sangeng. Mwet mweun su kasrusr meet oayapa mwet mweun su muta ke nien aktuktuk lalos uh elos kewa sangeng ac rarrar. Faclu kusrusrsrusr, ac oasr fohsak lulap.
16 And the scouts of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and lo! the camp, melted away, hither and thither.
Mwet soan lal Saul su muta Gibeah in facl lal Benjamin elos liye ke mwet Philistia elos yuwot yume in fohsak lalos.
17 Then said Saul unto the people who were with him: Number, I pray you, and see who hath departed from us. So they numbered; and lo! Jonathan and his armour-bearer were missing.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Oakla mwet mweun an ac suk lah su wangin.” Na elos oakla ac liye tuh na Jonathan ac mwet fusr se ma us mwe mweun lal pa wangin uh.
18 Then said Saul unto Ahijah, Bring near the ark of God; for the ark of God was, on that day, in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Saul el fahk nu sel Ahijah mwet tol, “Use ephod nu inge.” (In len sac Ahijah el us nuknuk sac ac fahsr ye mutun mwet Israel.)
19 And it came to pass, as soon as Saul had spoken unto the priest, that, the tumultuous noise that was in the camp of the Philistines, went on and on, increasing. Then said Saul unto the priest, —Withdraw thy hand.
Ke Saul el srakna kaskas nu sin mwet tol sac, fohsak lun mwet in nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia yokelik liki meet ah. Na Saul el fahk nu sel, “Wangin pacl in siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD!”
20 And Saul and all the people that were with him gathered themselves together, and came as far as the host, —and lo! the sword of every man was against his fellow, an exceeding great confusion.
Na Saul ac mwet lal nukewa elos fahsryang in mweun lain mwet Philistia, su sifacna forani ac aacnwuki sie sin sie ke sripen fohsak lalos.
21 And, the Hebrews who had aforetime belonged to the Philistines, who had come up with them in the host, even they, turned round so as to be with Israel who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Kutu sin mwet Hebrew ma tuh wi mwet Philistia muta ke nien aktuktuk lalos, elos sifil forla ac welulla Saul ac Jonathan.
22 And, all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves throughout the hill country of Ephraim, heard that the Philistines had fled, and, they also, followed hard after them in the battle.
Oasr pac mwet Hebrew su wikwik in eol in Ephraim. Ke elos lohngak lah mwet Philistia elos kaingelik, na elos wi pac tuku ukwalos ac onelosla,
23 Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, —and, the battle, passed over by Beth-aven.
fahla nwe alukela acn Bethaven. LEUM GOD El molela mwet Israel ke len sac.
24 Now, the men of Israel, were tired out on that day, —yet had Saul bound the people by an oath, saying—Cursed, be the man that eateth food until the evening, and I be avenged upon mine enemies. So none of the people had tasted food.
Mwet Israel elos tuh arulana masrinsralla ke len sac, ke sripen Saul el tuh fulahk nu selos ac fahk, “Mwet se fin kang sie mwe mongo misenge meet liki nga oru foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, fah selngawiyuk el.” Ouinge wangin mwet eis kutena mwe mongo len sac nufon.
25 And, all the land, had entered into the forest, —and there was honey upon the face of the ground.
Na elos tuku sun insak uh, ac liye tuh arulana pukanten honey we.
26 So the people came into the forest, and lo! there were streams of honey, —but no man reached his hand to his mouth, because the people revered the oath.
Sessesla lesak uh ke honey nwe tultul pac nu infohk uh, tusruk wangin mwet kang, mweyen elos nukewa sangeng ke kas in selnga lal Saul.
27 But, Jonathan, heard not his father putting the people on oath, so he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honey-copse, —and brought back his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were brightened.
A Jonathan el tuh tia lohng ke papa tumal el fahk kas in selnga lal nu sin mwet uh, na pa el asroela polosak soko ma oan inpaol, ac isongya nu ke sie nien honey ac mongo kac. In kitin pacl ah na el pulakunak ku in el.
28 Then responded one from among the people, and said—With an oath, did thy father charge the people, saying—Cursed, be the man that eateth food to-day! And so the people were faint.
Na sie mukul el fahk nu sel, “Kut nufon arulana masrinsralla, mweyen papa tomom el fahk kas na upa nu sesr mu, ‘Mwet se fin kang sie mwe mongo misenge, fah selngawiyuk el.’”
29 Then said Jonathan: My father hath afflicted the land, —See, I pray you, how my own eyes have been brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
Jonathan el fahk, “Arulana koluk ma se papa tumuk el oru nu sin mwet lasr uh! Liye, nga sa na pulakunak ku in ikok ke nga kang honey ah!
30 How much more if haply the people had, eaten freely, to-day of the spoil of their enemies, which they found? for, now, would not the smiting of the Philistines have been, mighty?
Fuka lupan woiya misenge, mwet uh funu kang mongo elos eisla ke elos kutangla mwet lokoalok lalos ah. Pisen mwet Philistia anwukla lukun pus liki na nge!”
31 Howbeit they smote the Philistines on that day from Michmash to Aijalon, —but the people became exceeding faint.
In len sac mwet Israel elos kutangla mwet Philistia. Elos tuh mweunelos mutawauk in acn Michmash som nwe Aijalon. Toko, mwet Israel elos munasla ke sripen masrinsralla lalos.
32 And the people darted greedily upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and felled them to the ground, —and the people did eat, with the blood.
Na elos sulaklak som sruokya ma elos eisla sin mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos eis sheep ac cow, ac uniya yen se na elos sruokya we ah, ac kang ke srakna srahsra.
33 And they told Saul, saying, Lo! the people, are sinning against Yahweh, by eating with the blood. And he said—Ye have dealt treacherously, roll unto me, here, a great stone.
Fwackyang ma inge nu sel Saul, “Liye, mwet uh orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD. Elos kang ikwa ke srakna srahsra.” Saul el wowoyak ac fahk, “Kowos mwet kutasrik! Epusak sie eot lulap an nu ye mutuk in se inge.”
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 slay them here, and then eat, so shall ye not sin against Yahweh, by eating with the blood. And all the people brought near—every man that which was in his hand, that night, and they slew them there.
Na el sifilpa sapkin nu selos, “Kowos fahsrelik nu inmasrlon mwet uh ac fahk tuh elos nukewa in usani cow ac sheep natulos nu in se inge. Elos in uniya ac mongo inge. Elos in tia orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ke elos kang ikwa ke srakna srahsra.” Ouinge in fong sac, mwet nukewa elos use cow natulos ac uni in acn sac.
35 And Saul built an altar unto Yahweh, —the same, was the first altar that he built unto Yahweh.
Na Saul el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD. Loang se omeet el etoak pa inge.
36 Then said Saul—Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and make of them a prey until the morning light, and let us not leave of them, a man. And they said, All that is good in thine eyes, do! Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
Saul el fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Lela kut in oatula ac mweuni mwet Philistia ke fong, eisla ma lalos nukewa nwe ke lenelik, ac onelosla nufon.” Ac mwet uh elos topuk ac fahk, “Oru oana ma kom nunku mu wo sum.” A mwet tol sac fahk nu sel, “Lela kut in siyuk kasru sin God meet.”
37 So Saul asked of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not, that day.
Na Saul el siyuk sin God, “Ya nga ac mweuni mwet Philistia? Ya kom ac ase kutangla nu sesr?” Tuh God El tiana topuk in len sac.
38 Then said Saul, Come near hither, all ye chiefs of the people, —and get to know and see, wherein, hath been this sin, to-day.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet kol lun mwet uh, “Fahsru ac konauk lah ma koluk se su orekla misenge.
39 For, by the life of Yahweh, who saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, yet shall he, die. But there was none ready to answer him, of all the people.
Nga fulahk ye mutun LEUM GOD moul, su ase kutangla nu sin mwet Israel, lah mwet se su koneyukyak ke ma koluk se inge, ac fah anwuki, finne wen se nutik inge, Jonathan.” Na wanginna mwet kas.
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, What is good in thine eyes, do!
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos nukewa tu inse ingo, ac nga Jonathan ac tu inse inge.” Na mwet uh fahk, “Oru oana ma kom nunku mu wo sum.”
41 And Saul said unto Yahweh—O God of Israel! now set forth the truth. Then were, Jonathan and Saul, taken, and, the people, escaped.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel, “O LEUM GOD, efu kom tia topukyu misenge? LEUM GOD lun Israel, topukyu ke eot mutal inge. Ma koluk se inge fin ma luk ku ma lal Jonathan, kom akkalemye ke Urim. A ma koluk se inge fin ma lun mwet Israel, mwet lom, na kom akkalemye ke Thummim.” Na pa kalem tuh koluk sac ma lal Jonathan ac Saul, ac wangin mwatan mwet uh kac.
42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. Then was, Jonathan, taken.
Na Saul el fahk, “Akkalemye lah su koluk uh, nga ku Jonathan?” Na akkalemyeyuk tuh na Jonathan pa koluk uh.
43 And Saul said unto Jonathan, Come tell me, what thou hast done. So Jonathan told him, and said, I, just tasted, with the end of the staff that was in my hand, a little honey, here I am—I must die!
Na Saul el siyuk sel Jonathan, “Mea kom oru nge?” Jonathan el topuk, “Nga kangla kutu srisrik honey ke polosak soko nga sruok. Nga inge — nga akola in misa.”
44 Then said Saul: So, may God do, and, so, may he add, surely thou must, die, Jonathan!
Ac Saul el fahk nu sel, “Lela God Elan uniyuwi, fin tia anwuki kom!”
45 But the people said unto Saul—Shall, Jonathan, die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! By the life of Yahweh, there shall not fall a hair of his head to the ground, for, with God, hath he wrought this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not.
A mwet uh fahk nu sel Saul, “Mea pwaye in anwuki Jonathan, mwet se su oru kutangla lulap nu sin Israel? Tia ku! Kut fulahk ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, tuh ac fah tia tuhlac soko aunsifal. Ma el oru misenge ma ke koko lun God.” Ouinge mwet uh molella Jonathan liki misa.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, —and, the Philistines, departed unto their own place.
Tukun ma inge, Saul el tila ukwe mwet Philistia, na elos folokla nu yen selos.
47 And, Saul, took possession of the kingdom over Israel, —and made war round about against all his enemies—against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and, whomsoever he turned against, he was victorious.
Tukun Saul el mutawauk in tokosra fin mwet Israel, el mweuni mwet lokoalok lal in acn nukewa: mwet Moab, mwet Ammon, mwet Edom, tokosra in acn Zobah, ac mwet Philistia. Acn nukewa el mweun we, el kutangla.
48 Then made he ready a force, and smote the Amalekites, —and delivered Israel out of the hand of such as plundered them.
El arulana pulaik ke mweun. Finne mwet Amalek, el kutangulosla pac. El molela mwet Israel liki inpoun mwet nukewa su lainulos.
49 And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua, —and, the names of his two daughters, were, the name of the firstborn, Merab, and, the name of the younger, Michal, —
Pa inge wen natul Saul: Jonathan, Ishvi, ac Malchishua. Acn se natul ma matu pa Merab, ac acn se natul ma srik uh pa Michal.
50 and, the name of Saul’s wife, was Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz, —and the name of the prince of his host, Abner, son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
Mutan kial uh pa Ahinoam, acn natul Ahimaaz. Captain lun un mwet mweun lal uh pa Abner wen natul Ner, su ma wien papa tumal Saul.
51 And, Kish, was Saul’s father, and, Ner, Abner’s father, was son of Abiel.
Papa tumal Saul pa Kish, ac papa tumal Abner pa Ner, ac eltal ma natul Abiel.
52 And the war was severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul, —and, whensoever Saul saw any mighty man, or any son of valour, he drew him unto himself.
Ke lusen moul lal Saul nufon, oasr mweun na yohk inmasrlon mwet Israel ac mwet Philistia. Ke ma inge, pacl nukewa Saul el konauk sie mwet pulaik ac ku, el ac eisalang tuh elan wi un mwet mweun lal.
