1 Samuel 14
1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, that [is] on the other side. But he told not his father.
Otu ụbọchị, Jonatan nwa Sọl, kpọrọ nwokorobịa na-ebu ihe agha ya sị, “Bịa, ka anyị gafee ndagwurugwu jeruo nʼụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia.” Ma ọ gwaghị Sọl nna ya.
2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron: and the people that [were] with him [were] about six hundred men;
Sọl na narị ndị ikom isii ya na-anọdụ nʼebe dị anya site na Gibea, nʼokpuru osisi pomegranet dị na Migrọn.
3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
Otu nʼime ndị so Sọl bụ Ahija onye nchụaja, onye yi efọọd. Ọ bụ nwa Ahitub, onye bụ nwanne Ịkabọdụ. Ahitub bụ nwa nwa Finehaz, onye bụ nwa Elayị, onye nchụaja Onyenwe anyị na Shaịlo. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ma na Jonatan apụọla.
4 And between the passages by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, [there was] a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Tupu Jonatan eruo ebe ndị Filistia nọ, ọ ghaghị isite na nwa ụzọ warawara dị nʼagbata nkume abụọ, a na-akpọ Bozez na Sene gabiga.
5 The front of the one [was] situated northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
Nkume nke dị nʼakụkụ elu elu, dị nʼihu Mikmash, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndịda dị nʼihu Geba.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for [there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
Jonatan gwara nwokorobịa na-ebu ihe agha ya sị, “Bịa, ka anyị gafee ga nʼebe nguzo ndị ahụ a na-ebighị ugwu, ma eleghị anya Onyenwe anyị ga-alụrụ anyị ọgụ. Nʼihi na ọ dịghị ihe pụrụ igbochi Onyenwe anyị ịzọpụta, site nʼọtụtụ mmadụ, maọbụ ole na ole.”
7 And his armor-bearer said to him, Do all that [is] in thy heart: turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart.
Nwokorobịa ahụ zara sị ya, “Gaa nʼihu, eji m obi m na mmụọ m na-eso gị dịka ọchịchọ gị si dị.”
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to [these] men, and we will discover ourselves to them.
Jonatan gwara ya sị, “Bịa ka anyị ga, lee ihe anyị ga-eme. Anyị ga-apụkwuru ndị agha ahụ mee ka ha hụ anyị anya.
9 If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
Ọ bụrụ na ha asị, ‘Guzonụ ebe ahụ ruo mgbe anyị bịakwutere unu,’ anyị ga-echere ebe anyị nọ, anyị agaghị agakwuru ha.
10 But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand; and this [shall be] a sign to us.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha sị, ‘Rigokwutenụ anyị,’ anyị ga-emekwa otu ahụ, nʼihi na ọ ga-abụrụ anyị ihe ama na Onyenwe anyị enyela ha nʼaka anyị.”
11 And both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
Ya mere, ha abụọ guzoro ebe ndị Filistia ga-ahụ ha. Mgbe ndị Filistia hụrụ ha, ha tiri mkpu sị, “Lee, ndị Hibru esitela nʼọnụ ebe ha zoro na-arịpụta.”
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
Ndị ikom ndị na-anọ nʼebe nguzo ndị nche tikuru Jonatan na onye ahụ na-ebu ngwa agha ya sị, “Rigokwutenụ anyị, ka anyị mee unu ihe.” Jonatan gwara onye ahụ na-ebu ngwa agha, “Soro m nʼazụ rigota, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ewerela ha nyefee nʼaka Izrel.”
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor-bearer slew after him.
Ya mere, Jonatan ji ikpere ya na aka ya rigoruo nʼebe ahụ; onye na-ebu ihe agha ya sokwa ya nʼazụ. Ma ndị agha Filistia daghachiri azụ mgbe Jonatan na onye na-ebu ihe agha ya bidoro igbu ha.
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were a half-acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow].
Na ogbugbu mbụ ahụ, Jonatan na onye ahụ na-ebu ngwa agha ya gburu ọnụọgụgụ ndị Filistia dị iri abụọ. Ọ bụ nʼihe ha ka nketa ala ruru otu ọkara nʼekaa nʼọtụtụ.
15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
Oke ọma jijiji dakwasịrị ndị agha niile, na ndị nọ nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu, ma ndị nọ nʼọhịa, ma ndị nọ nʼebe dịpụrụ adịpụ, ma ndị na-ejegharị ejegharị ibu agha. Ala ahụ niile mara jijiji. Ọ bụ ọma jijiji nke Chineke zitere.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another].
Ndị nche Sọl, bụ ndị nọ na Gibea nʼime Benjamin, lepụrụ anya hụ igwe ndị agha ka ha malitere ịgba barịị nʼihu na-azụ.
17 Then said Saul to the people that [were] with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer [were] not [there].
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl gwara ndị agha ya na ha so, “Gụọnụ ndị agha ọnụ, chọpụta onye na-anọghị nʼebe a.” Mgbe ha mere nke a, ha chọpụtara, na Jonatan na onye na-ebu ihe agha ya anọghị nʼebe ahụ.
18 And Saul said to Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
Sọl sịrị Ahija, “Bute igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke.” (Nʼoge ahụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼaka ụmụ Izrel.)
19 And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went on, and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
Mgbe Sọl na-agwa onye nchụaja okwu, ụzụ na iti mkpu nke na-ada nʼụlọ ikwu ndị Filistia dara karịa, nʼihi ya, Sọl gwara onye nchụaja ahụ okwu sị ya, “Sepụ aka gị.”
20 And Saul and all the people that [were] with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl na ndị niile ya na ha nọ jikọtara onwe ha baa nʼagha ahụ, ma lee, ndị Filistia ji mma agha na-egburita onwe ha. Ọgbaaghara dịkwa nʼebe niile.
21 Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp [from the country] around, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan.
Ma ndị Hibru, ndị so ndị Filistia na-alụ ọgụ, tụgharịrị dịnyere ndị Izrel soro Sọl na Jonatan.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Emesịa, ndị ikom Izrel niile, ndị ahụ zoro onwe ha nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem pụtara, mgbe ha hụrụ na ndị Filistia na-agba ọsọ. Ha gbapụtara soro ndị ọzọ ịchụ ndị Filistia ọsọ.
23 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over to Beth-aven.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị napụtara ndị Izrel nʼụbọchị ahụ. E buru agha ahụ gabiga Bet-Aven.
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food.
Ma ndị ikom Izrel nọ ọnọdụ nhụju anya nʼụbọchị ahụ, nʼihi na Sọl jiri ịṅụ iyi kechie ha, mgbe o kwuru sị, “Onye a bụrụ ọnụ ka nwoke ahụ bụ onye ga-eri nri ọbụla site ugbu a ruo anyasị, tutu ruo mgbe m bọsịrị ọbọ megide ndị iro m!” Nʼihi ya, o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti ndị agha ya detụrụ ihe oriri ọnụ.
25 And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
Ndị agha ahụ niile banyere nʼọhịa ebe mmanụ aṅụ dị nʼala.
26 And when the people had come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
Mgbe ha banyere nʼọhịa, ha hụrụ mmanụ aṅụ ebe ọ na-asọpụta, ma o nweghị onye metụrụ aka nʼọnụ ya, nʼihi na ha tụrụ egwu iyi ahụ ha ṅụrụ.
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in a honey-comb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
Ma Jonatan anụghị na nna ya mere ka ndị ahụ ṅụọ iyi, ya mere, o setịpụrụ ọnụ ọnụ mkpanaka dị ya nʼaka rụta mmanụ aṅụ na ugbugbo ya, tinye nʼọnụ ya rachaa. Nke a mere ka ike ya laghachite.
28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food this day. And the people were faint.
Ma otu onye agha gwara ya sị, “Nna gị ji ịṅụ iyi gbaa ndị agha niile iwu, sị, ‘Onye a bụrụ ọnụ ka nwoke ahụ bụ, onye riri nri taa. Ọ bụ nke a mere ndị mmadụ ji ada mba.’”
29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
Jonatan zara sị, “Nna m esitela nʼiwu dị otu a wetara ala anyị nsogbu. Lee ka m si nweta ike site na mmanụ aṅụ nta m rachara.
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
Ọ garaghị aka mma ma a sị na ndị ikom riri ihe ha si nʼaka ndị iro ha kwata nʼagha? Ọ bụ na ogbugbu a gaara egbu ndị Filistia agaraghị adị ukwuu karịa?”
31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon: and the people were very faint.
Ma ndị agha Izrel bu agụụ tigbuo ndị Filistia, chụọkwa ha ọsọ site na Mikmash ruo Aijalon. Ha dakwara mba karịa.
32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people ate [them] with the blood.
Ha dakwasịrị ihe a kwatara nʼagha, gbuo atụrụ na ehi na ụmụ ehi, bido iri anụ ha na ndụ nʼihi agụụ.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day.
Ma otu onye gwara Sọl sị, “Ndị ikom Izrel na-emehie megide Onyenwe anyị site na iri anụ ọbara ya dị nʼahụ ya.” Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị, “Ihe dị otu a jọgburu onwe ya. Nutenụ nkume ukwuu nʼebe a ugbu a.”
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them] there.
Sọl sịrị, “Gaa nʼetiti ndị ikom a gwa ha, ‘Ka onye ọbụla weta ehi na atụrụ ha chọrọ igbu nʼebe a, ka e gbuo ha nʼebe a, rie anụ ha. Unu emehiela megide Onyenwe anyị site nʼiri anụ ọbara dị nʼime ya.’” Ya mere, onye ọbụla wetara ehi ya nʼabalị ahụ, gbuo nʼebe ahụ.
35 And Saul built an altar to the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built to the LORD:
Emesịa, Sọl wuuru Onyenwe anyị ebe ịchụ aja. Nke a bụ ebe ịchụ aja nke mbụ o wuru.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seemeth good to thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither to God.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl gwara ndị agha ya sị, “Ka anyị gaa chụọ ndị Filistia ọsọ nʼabalị a niile, ma gbukwaa onye ọbụla fọdụrụ nʼime ha.” Ndị agha ya zara sị, “Ọ dị mma, mee dịka ị kwuru.” Ma onye nchụaja sịrị, “Ka anyị buru ụzọ jụta ihe bụ uche Chineke.”
37 And Saul asked counsel 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.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl jụrụ Chineke sị, “Ọ bụ m rịda gaa chụso ndị Filistia? Ị ga-enyefe ha nʼaka ndị Izrel?” Ma Chineke enyeghị ya ọsịsa ọbụla nʼụbọchị ahụ.
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
Sọl gwara ndịisi agha Izrel okwu sị, “Ihe emebiela! Anyị aghaghị ịchọpụta ụdị mmehie anyị mere taa, nke mere Onyenwe anyị ji jụ inye anyị ọsịsa.
39 For [as] the LORD liveth, who saveth Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answered him.
Nʼezie dịka Onyenwe anyị, onye na-azọpụta Izrel na-adị ndụ, a sịkwarị na ọ bụ nwa m Jonatan ka a chọpụtara na ọ bụ ya ka ikpe mara, ọ ga-anwụ!” Ma ọ dịghị onye gwara ya ihe ọbụla.
40 Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seemeth good to thee.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl gwara ndị Izrel niile okwu sị ha, “Guzonụ onwe unu nʼebe ahụ, mụ na nwa m Jonatan ga-eguzo onwe anyị nʼebe a.” Ndị ahụ zara sị, “Mee ihe ọbụla dị gị mma.”
41 Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl kpere ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel, “Gịnị mere na ị zabeghị ohu gị taa? Ọ bụrụ na ikpe mara m maọbụ nwa m Jonatan, zaa site nʼUrim, ma ọ bụrụ ndị ikom Izrel ka ikpe mara, nye ọsịsa site na Tumim.” Nza ahụ mara Jonatan na Sọl, ma ikpe amaghị ndị ikom Izrel.
42 And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl kwuru sị, “Ugbu a feenụ nza nʼetiti mụ na Jonatan, nwa m nwoke.” Nza ahụ mara Jonatan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that [was] in my hand, [and], lo, I must die.
Sọl gwara Jonatan okwu sị ya, “Gwa m ihe i mere.” Jonatan zara sị ya, “Ọ bụ naanị mmanụ aṅụ ntakịrị ka m ji ọnụ mkpanaka m rụrụ rachaa. Ọ pụtara na m ga-anwụ nʼihi ya?”
44 And Saul answered, God do so, and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
Mgbe ahụ, Sọl zara sị, “Nʼezie Jonatan, ị ghaghị ịnwụ. Ka Chineke meso m mmeso, otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si sie ike, ma ọ bụrụ na ị nwụghị nʼihi ihe a i mere.”
45 And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? By no means: [as] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
Ma ndị ikom ahụ sịrị Sọl, “Jonatan ọ ga-anwụ, bụ onye a wetara nzọpụta a dị ukwuu nʼIzrel? Nke a apụghị ime! Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, ọ bụladị otu agịrị isi agaghị esi nʼisi ya dapụ, nʼihi na Chineke ejirila ya rụọ ọrụ ịtụnanya dị ukwuu taa.” Ya mere, ndị agha ahụ zọpụtara Jonatan, e gbukwaghị ya.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
Emesịa, Sọl kwụsịrị ndị agha ya ịchụ ndị Filistia ọsọ. Ndị Filistia nʼonwe ha lakwara nʼala nke ha.
47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he harassed [them].
Site nʼoge Sọl malitere ịchị nʼIzrel, o buru agha megide ndị iro ha nʼakụkụ niile, ndị Moab, ndị Amọn, ndị Edọm, ndị eze Zoba na ndị Filistia. Ebe ọbụla o chere ihu ọ na-alụgbu.
48 And he gathered a host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of them that spoiled them.
O buru agha dị ukwuu, lụgbuo ndị Amalek; ma zọpụta ndị Izrel site nʼaka ndị niile na-emegbu ha site nʼịpụnarị ha ihe ha nwere.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters [were these]; the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
Sọl mụtara ndị ikom atọ; Jonatan, Ishvi na Malkishua. Ọ mụtakwara ụmụ agbọghọ abụọ, Merab na Mikal.
50 And the name of Saul's [wife] was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host [was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
Aha nwunye Sọl bụ Ahinoam, ada Ahimaaz. Ọchịagha Sọl bụ Abna, nwa Nea, nwanne nna Sọl.
51 And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner [was] the son of Abiel.
Nea, nna Abna, na Kish, nna Sọl bụ ụmụnne. Ha bụ ụmụ Abiel.
52 And there was violent war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.
Ndị Izrel na ndị Filistia nọ nʼagha dị egwu ụbọchị niile Sọl bụ eze. Mgbe ọbụla Sọl hụrụ nwoke dị ike, maọbụ dimkpa, ọ na-eduru ya mee ya ka ọ bụrụ otu nʼime ndị agha ya.
