1 Samuel 13
1 A son of a year [is] Saul in his reigning, yea, two years he hath reigned over Israel,
Saulo ne ja-higni piero adek kane ochako bedo ruoth kendo nobedo ruodh Israel kuom higni piero angʼwen gariyo.
2 and Saul chooseth for himself three thousand [men] out of Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the hill-country of Beth-El; and a thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the remnant of the people he hath sent each to his tents.
Saulo noyiero ji alufu adek kuom jo-Israel; to kuom joma noyierogo ji alufu ariyo ne ni kode Mikmash gi pinje gode mag Bethel, to ji alufu achiel ne nigi Jonathan e gwengʼ Gibea e piny Benjamin. To ji duto modongʼ nonyiso nodog miechgi.
3 And Jonathan smiteth the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul hath blown with a trumpet through all the land, saying, 'Let the Hebrews hear.'
Jonathan nomonjo kambi man Geba mar jolwenj jo-Filistia kendo jo-Filistia nowinjo wachno. Eka Saulo nochiko mondo ogo tungʼ e piny duto mi owacho niya, “We jo-Hibrania owinji!”
4 And all Israel have heard, saying, 'Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines,' and also, 'Israel hath been abhorred by the Philistines;' and the people are called after Saul to Gilgal.
Omiyo jo-Israel duto nowinjo wach ni Saulo osemonjo kambi jo-Filistia kendo koro jo-Filistia oselo gi jo-Israel. Mine oluong ji mondo odhi ir Saulo Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines have been gathered to fight with Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a people as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of Beth-Aven.
Jo-Filistia nochokore mar kedo gi jo-Israel, ka gin gi geche alufu adek, gi geche mag farese alufu auchiel, gi jolweny mathoth ka kwoyo man e dho nam. Negiwuok mi gidhi gibworo Mikmash man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Beth Aven.
6 And the men of Israel have seen that they are distressed, that the people hath been oppressed, and the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
Kane jo-Israel oneno kaka wach chal kuomgi kendo ni jolwenjgi othungʼ marach, ne gipondo e rogo, e bunge, e kind lwendni, e buche matut, e soko.
7 And Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people have trembled after him.
Jo-Hibrania moko nongʼado aora Jordan modhi e piny Gad gi Gilead. Saulo to nodongʼ Gilgal, to jolwenje mane ni kode ne tetni ka luoro omakogi.
8 And he waiteth seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel hath not come to Gilgal, and the people are scattered from off him.
Norito Samuel kuom ndalo abiriyo kaka Samuel nosechiko, to Samuel ne ok obiro Gilgal kendo joma ne nigi Saulo nochako ke.
9 And Saul saith, 'Bring nigh unto me the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings;' and he causeth the burnt-offering to ascend.
Omiyo nowacho niya, “Kelnauru gima itimogo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mar lalruok.” Kendo Saulo nochiwo misango miwangʼo pep.
10 And it cometh to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that lo, Samuel hath come, and Saul goeth out to meet him, to bless him;
E sa ma ne otieko chiwo misangono, Samuel nochopo kendo Saulo nodhi mondo omose.
11 and Samuel saith, 'What hast thou done?' And Saul saith, 'Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and thou hadst not come at the appointment of the days, and the Philistines are gathered to Michmash,
Samuel nopenje niya, “Angʼo misetimoni?” Saulo nodwoke niya, “Kane aneno ka ji ke to in bende pok ibiro e sa mane oketi, to jo-Filistia bende chokore Mikmash,
12 and I say, Now do the Philistines come down unto me to Gilgal, and the face of Jehovah I have not appeased; and I force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.'
ne aparo ni, ‘Koro jo-Filistia biro monja Gilgal, ka pod ok apenjo kendo pod ok akwayo Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonya.’ Omiyo ne aneno ni ochuna ni nyaka achiw misango miwangʼo pep.”
13 And Samuel saith unto Saul, 'Thou hast been foolish; thou hast not kept the command of Jehovah thy God, which He commanded thee, for now had Jehovah established thy kingdom over Israel unto the age;
Samuel nowachone niya, “Isetimo tim mofuwo. Ok iserito chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi omiyi; ka dine iriti, to doguro pinyruodhi e Israel nyaka chiengʼ.
14 and, now, thy kingdom doth not stand, Jehovah hath sought for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah chargeth him for leader over His people, for thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.'
To koro pinyruodhi ok bi siko, Jehova Nyasaye oseyudo ngʼat ma chunye chal gi mare kendo osekete, mondo otel ne joge, nikech in ok iserito chik mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
15 And Samuel riseth, and goeth up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspecteth the people who are found with him, about six hundred men,
Eka Samuel noa Gilgal modhi Gibea e piny Benjamin, kendo Saulo nokwano joma ne ni kode mine oyudo ni gin ji madirom mia auchiel.
16 and Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who are found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the Philistines have encamped in Michmash.
Saulo gi wuode Jonathan kod ji mane ni kodgi nobet Gibea e piny Benjamin, to jo-Filistia nojot Mikmash.
17 And the destroyer goeth out from the camp of the Philistines — three detachments; the one detachment turneth unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
Sidienje adek mag jolwenj jo-Filistia nowuok e kambi margi, migawo mokwongo nodhi momonjo jo-Ofra e piny Shual,
18 and the one detachment turneth the way of Beth-Horon, and the one detachment turneth the way of the border which is looking on the valley of the Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
to machielo nochiko Beth Horon mar adek nodhi e tongʼ mochiko Holo mar Zeboim mochimo kuma otimo ongoro.
19 And an artificer is not found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, 'Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear;'
Ne onge jotheth e piny Israel mangima nikech jo-Filistia nosewacho niya, “Ka kamano to jo-Hibrania biro loso ligengini kod tonge!”
20 and all Israel go down to the Philistines, to sharpen each his ploughshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
Omiyo jo-Israel duto ne odhi e piny jo-Filistia mondo opiag kuegi, saruru, ledhi kod musmeno mar ngʼado lum.
21 and there hath been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up the goads.
Nengo mar piago kwer gi saruru ne en ariyo ewi adek mar Shekel, nengo mar piago uma gi le ne en achiel ewi adek mar Shekel, kata mar rieyo bidhi.
22 And it hath been, in the day of battle, that there hath not been found sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan — and there is found to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
Omiyo chiengʼ lweny onge jalweny moro amora mane nigi Saulo kod Jonathan mane nigi ligangla kata tongʼ e lwete; makmana Saulo gi Jonathan kende ema ne ni kod ligangla gi tongʼ.
23 And the station of the Philistines goeth out unto the passage of Michmash.
Koro jolwenj jo-Filistia nosekadho modhi Mikmash.
