1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
Saul el yac ... matu ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum fin mwet Israel ke lusen yac ... ac luo.
2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
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 Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet 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 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after 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 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward 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 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, 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 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
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 He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering 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 Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Use mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo.” Na el kisakin mwe kisa firir.
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
Ke el tufahna tari, Samuel el tuku. Saul el illa in osun nu sel ac paingul.
11 Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at 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 the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favour of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
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 Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
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 But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”
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 Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present 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 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines 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 The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to 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 another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on 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 there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
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 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own ploughshare, mattock, axe, and 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 The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, ploughshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
Molin tete tuhla ac mitmit pa ipin mani se. Molin tete mwe kulkul ac mwe pukpuk pa ipin mani luo.)
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
Ouinge, ke len in mweun lalos ah, wangin mwet Israel oasr osra in fakfuk ku cutlass natulos, sayal Saul ac Jonathan.
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
Mwet Philistia elos supwala un mwet mweun in karingin Innek in Utyak nu Michmash.
