1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was no longer a young man when he became the king. He ruled Israel for 42 years.
Solo da lalelegele, ode 30 agoane esalu, e da hina bagade dunu hamoi. E da hina bagade hamone, Isala: ili dunu ouligilala, ode 42 baligi.
2 [Several years after he became king], he chose three thousand men from the Israeli army to go with him [to fight the Philistines]. Then he sent the other soldiers back home. Of the men he chose, 2,000 stayed with Saul at Micmash and in the hilly area near Bethel, and 1,000 stayed with [Saul’s son] Jonathan at Gibeah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin lived.
Solo da dunu 3,000 agoane ilegei. Dunu 2,000 agoane da hi oule Bedele goumi sogega amola Migema: se sogega. Amalu dunu l, 000 eno Solo da ea mano Yonada: ne oule masa: ne, Gibia moilai (Bediamini fi ilia soge ganodini galu) amoga asunasi. Amalu Solo da dadi gagui oda amo, ili diasua buhagima: ne sia: i.
3 Jonathan [and the men who were with him] attacked the Philistine soldiers who were camped at Geba. The [other] Philistines heard about that. [So Saul realized that the army of Philistia would probably come to fight the Israelis again]. So Saul [sent messengers to] blow trumpets throughout Israel [to gather the people together and] proclaim to them, “All you Hebrews need to hear [that now the Philistines will start a war with us]!”
Yonada: ne da Giba sogega, Filisidini dadi gagui dunu ouligisu dunu fane legei dagoi. Filisidini dunu huluane da amo hou nabi dagoi. Amalalu, Solo da Hibulu dunu huluane gegesu amoma misa: ne sia: i. Ea sia: adole iasu dunu ilia da Isala: ili fifilai huluane nabima: ne, dalabede fulabosu.
4 The messengers told the rest of the army to gather together with Saul at Gilgal. And all the people in Israel heard the news. People were saying, “Saul’s army has attacked the Philistine camp, with the result that now the Philistines hate us Israelis very much.”
Ilia da Isala: ili dunu huluane amo Solo da Filisidini dadi gagui ouligisu dunu fanelegei dagoi olelei. Amola Filisidini dunu da Isala: ili dunu bagade higasa, amola olelei. Amaiba: le, dunu ilia da Solo ea ili Giliga: lega masa: ne sia: si, amoga nabawene asi.
5 The Philistines gathered together and were given equipment to fight the Israelis. The Philistines had 3,000 chariots, and 6,000 chariot-drivers. Their soldiers [seemed to be as many] as grains of sand on the seashore [HYP]. They went up and set up their tents at Micmash, to the east of Beth-Aven ([which means ‘house of wickedness’, and really referred to Bethel town]).
Filisidini dunu ilia da Isala: ili dunuma gegemusa: wa: i. Ilia da hosiga hiougisu sa: liode 30,000 agoane ba: i, amola hosi da: iya fila heda: i gegesu dunu 6,000 agoane ba: i, amola dadi gagui dunu da gilisidafa idimu hamedei, hano bega: bosoda: i afae afae ea idi defele ba: i. Ilia da Migema: se moilai (amo da Beda: ifane moilaiga gusudili galu) amoga asili, ha wa: i fisisu gagui.
6 The Philistines attacked the Israelis very strongly, and the Israeli soldiers realized that they were in a very bad situation. So many of the Israeli soldiers hid in caves and holes in the ground, or among the rocks, or in pits, or in wells.
Amalalu, Filisidini dunu da Isala: ili dunuma gasa fili, doagala: i. Gasa bagade gegebeba: le, Isala: ili dunu da bu dabe gegemu hamedei ba: i. Ilia hobeale, mogili da magufu gelabo amola uli dogoi amola gele sogebi, amola hano si amo ganodini wamoaligi.
7 Some of them crossed the Jordan River at a place where it was very shallow. Then they went to the area where the descendants of Gad lived and to [the] Gilead [region]. But Saul stayed at Gilgal. All the soldiers who were with him were shaking [because they were so afraid].
Dunu oda da Yodane Hano degele, Ga: de amola Gilia: de ilia ouligisu soge ole amo alofele asi. Solo da Giliga: lega esalu, amola dadi gagui dunu amola eno dunu ema gilisi da bagadewane beda: ga yagugududalu.
8 Saul waited seven days, which was the number of days that Samuel had told him to wait for him. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal [during that time], so many of the men in Saul’s army began to leave him and run away.
Solo da Sa: miuele Giliga: lega misunu sia: si amo misa: bela: le eso fesuale agoane Giliga: lega ouesalu, be Sa: miuele da hame misi. Dunu oda ilia da Solo ea mae ba: ma: ne wamo hobeale afia: i.
9 So Saul said to the soldiers, “Bring to me an animal to be completely burned [on the altar] and one for the offering to enable us to maintain fellowship [with God].” [So the men did that].
Amaiba: le, Solo da ilima amane sia: i, “Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobele salasu liligi amola Hahawane Gilisili Olofole gobele salasu liligi nama gaguli misa.” Amalalu, e da amo liligi gobele sali.
10 And just as he was finished burning those offerings, Samuel arrived. Saul went to greet him.
Gobele sali amo dagomu galu, Sa: miuele da doaga: i. Solo da Sa: miuele yosia: musa: amola sia: gadomusa: asi.
11 Samuel [saw what Saul had done, and he] said to Saul, “Why have you done this?” Saul replied, “I saw that my men were leaving me and running away, and that you did not come here during the time that you said that you would come, and that the Philistine army was gathering together at Micmash.
Be Sa: miuele da amane sia: i, “Dia da adi hamobela: ?” Solo da adole i, “Dunu ilia da naba: le hobeale gogosa, amola di da di misunusa: ilegele sia: i amo defele hame misi. Amaia amoiwane da Filisidini dadi gagui dunu da nini doaga: la: musa: , Migema: sega gilisilala.
12 “So I thought, ‘The Philistine army is going to attack us here at Gilgal, and I have not yet asked Yahweh to bless/help us.’ So I felt it was necessary to offer the burnt offerings [to seek God’s blessings].”
Amaiba: le na dawa: i amo da Filisidini ilia Giliga: lega wi nama doaga: la: ma: bela: le dawa: i, amola na da ilima hasalasima: ne, Hina Godema hame adole ba: i. Amaiba: le na dawa: i, amo da gobele salasu gobele salimusa: dawa: i.”
13 Samuel replied, “What you did was very foolish! You have not obeyed what Yahweh, your God, commanded [about sacrifices]. If you had obeyed him, God would have allowed you and your descendants to rule [Israel] for a long time.
“Di da gagaoulewane hamoi galu,” Sa: miuele da adole i. “Di da dia Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne dima olelei, amo defele hame hamoi. Di da amo hamoma: ne sia: i Hina Gode Ea dima i, amo defele hamosu ganiaba, di da Isala: ili ouligili fifi asi bagade sedagila: loba.
14 But now [because of what you have done, you will die, and after you die, ] none of your descendants will rule. Yahweh is seeking for a man [to be king] who will be just the kind of person that he wants him to be, so that he can appoint him to be the leader of his people. Yahweh will do this because you have not obeyed what he commanded.”
Be waha da dia gebewane hame ouligisa ahoanumu. Bai dia Hina Gode Ea sia: defele hame hamoi, amola Gode da Ea hanai dunu eno hogole, amo ea da hina bagade hamone Isala: ili dunu ouligimu.”
15 Then Samuel left Gilgal and went up to Gibeah. Saul stayed at Gilgal with his soldiers. There were only about 600 of them left [who had not run away].
Sa: miuele da Giliga: le yolesili asi dagoi. Solo da ea dadi gagui dunu ilima madelale gegemusa: ahoabeba: le, dunu oda da ea baligiga aligili fa: no bobogei. Ilia da Giliga: leganini Gibiaga (Bediamini ea ouligisu soge amo ganodini) amoga asili doaga: i. Solo da e fisili asi dunu amo abodele ba: i, e da ba: loba dunu da 600 agoane ba: i.
16 Saul and his son Jonathan and the soldiers who were with them went to Geba [city] in the area of the tribe of Benjamin [and set up their tents there]. The Philistine army set up their tents at Micmash.
Solo, ea mano Yonada: ne amola ea dadi gagui dunu ilia da wa: i asili Gibaga ha wa: i fisisu gaguli fi. (amo da Bediamini ea ouligibi soge amo ganodini) Be Filisidini ilia ha wa: i fisisu da Migema: sega galu.
17 Three groups of Philistia men soon left the place where their army was staying, and went and (raided the Israeli towns/attacked the Israelis and took their possessions). One group went [north] toward Ophrah [city] in [the] Shual [region].
Filisidini ilia da Migema: seganini Isala: ili dunu doaga: la: musa: udiana mogili asi. Mogili afae da Ofala moilai bai bagade (Sioule soge ganodini) amoga doagala: musa: asi,
18 One group went [west] to Beth-Horon [city]. The third group went toward the [Israeli] border, above Zeboim Valley, near the desert.
mogili da Bedehoulone moilaigadi asi amola mogi da soge alalo amo da Sibouimi Fago amola hafoga: i soge amoga gadodili dialebe amoga asi.
19 At that time, there were no men in Israel who (were blacksmiths/could make things from iron). [The people of Philistia would not permit the Israelis to do that, because they were afraid that] they would make iron swords and spears for the Hebrews to fight with.
Isala: ili dunu afaega da gulaga dadi hahamosu hame dawa: i galu, bai Filisidini dunu ilia da Hibulu dunu ilia gegesu gobihei sedade amola gegesu dadi debesa: besa: le, sema bagade ilegei.
20 So [whenever the Israelis needed] to sharpen the blades of their plows, or picks, or axes, or sickles, they were forced to take those things to a Philistia man who could sharpen those things.
(Isala: ili dunu ilia da Filisidini dunuma asili, ilia osobo gidinasu, goahei amola gisi nosu amo debemusa: ahoasu.
21 They needed to pay (one fourth of an ounce/8 grams) of silver for sharpening a plow, and (an eighth of an ounce/4 grams) of silver to sharpen an axe, or a sickle, or (an ox goad/a pointed rod to jab an ox to make it walk).
Debesea, bidi adosu da gasa fonobahadi afaega da goahei debesu amola bulamagau sese ahoasu ifa seda debesu, amola gasa adunaga osobo gidinasu amola moi dogosu debesu).
22 So [because the Israelis could not make weapons from iron], on the day that the Israelis fought [against the men of Philistia], Saul and Jonathan were the only Israeli men who had swords. None of the others had a sword; [they had only bows and arrows].
Gegesu amoga Isala: ili dadi gagui iliga da Solo amola ea mano Yonada: ne elea fawane da gegesu gobihei sedade amola goge agei gagui.
23 Before the battle started, some Philistia men went to (the pass/a narrow place between two cliffs) outside Micmash to guard it.
Filisidini dunu ilia da dadi gagui mogili Migema: sega Adobo Gigiadofa Ahoasu amo sosodo aligima: ne asunasi.
