Samuel 1 11
1 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Nahas kplɔ Amonitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ eye woho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ƒe du Yabes Gilead ŋu. Yabestɔwo bia ŋutifafa heɖe kuku be, “Migawɔ aʋa kpli mí o; míelɔ̃ be míazu miaƒe subɔlawo boŋ.”
And it was don as aftir a monethe, Naas of Amon stiede, and bigan to fiyte ayens Jabes of Galaad. And alle the men of Jabes seiden to Naas, Haue thou vs boundun in pees, and we schulen serue thee.
2 Nahas ɖo eŋu be, “Ekema mawɔ nu ɖeka; maho mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ɖusimeŋku abe gbɔ̃ɖiɖi Israel dukɔ blibo la ene!”
And Naas of Amon answeride to hem, In this Y schal smyte boond of pees with you, that Y putte out the riyt iyen of alle you, and that Y sette you schenschip in al Israel.
3 Yabes ƒe ametsitsiwo ɖo eŋu be, “Na ŋkeke adre mí ne míadɔ ame aɖo ɖe Israelnyigba blibo la dzi. Ne mía nɔviwo mava kpe ɖe mía ŋu o la, ekama míalɔ̃ ɖe wò tameɖoɖo la dzi.”
And the eldere men of Jabes seiden to him, Graunte thou to vs seuene daies, that we senden messangeris to alle the termes of Israel; and if noon be that defende vs, we schulen go out to thee.
4 Esi dɔla aɖe va Gibea, Saul ƒe du me eye wògblɔ Yabestɔwo ƒe xaxa la ŋu nya na wo la, ame sia ame de asi avifafa me.
Therfor messangeris camen in to Gabaad of Saul, and spaken these wordis, `while the puple herde; and al the puple reiside her vois, and wepte.
5 Saul kplɔ eƒe nyiwo tso agble gbɔna va aƒe me eye wòbia be, “Nya kae dzɔ? Nu ka ta ame sia ame la avi fam?” Wogblɔ nya si wose tso Yabes la nɛ.
And lo! Saul cam, `and suede oxis fro the feeld; and he seide, What hath the puple, for it wepith? And thei telden to hym the wordis of men of Jabes.
6 Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ɖiɖi ɖe Saul dzi enumake eye wòdo dɔmedzoe vevie.
And the Spirit of the Lord skippide in to Saul, whanne he hadde herd these wordis, and his woodnesse was `wrooth greetli.
7 Ewu nyitsu eve, fli woƒe lã eye wòɖo lãkɔawo ɖe Israelnyigba ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe. Eɖe gbeƒã be, “Aleae woawɔ ame sia ame si madze Saul kple Samuel yome ayi aʋa o la ƒe nyitsue nye esi!” Yehowa na ameawo vɔ̃ Saul ƒe dɔmedzoe ale wo katã ƒo ƒu va Saul gbɔ.
And he took euer either oxe, and kittide in to gobetis, and sente in to alle the termes of Israel, bi the hondis of messangeris; and seide, Who euer goith not out, and sueth not Saul and Samuel, so it schal be don to hise oxun. Therfor the drede of the Lord asailide the puple, and thei yeden out as o man.
8 Saul xlẽ wo le Bezek eye Israelviwo le ame akpe alafa etɔ̃ kpe ɖe ame akpe blaetɔ̃ siwo tso Yuda la ŋu.
And he noumbride hem in Besech; and thre hundrid thousynd weren of the sones of Israel; forsothe of the men of Juda weren thretti thousynde.
9 Saul ɖo du ɖe Yabes Gileadtɔwo be, “Míaɖe mi tso miaƒe futɔwo si me hafi etsɔ ɣetrɔ naɖo!” Dua me tɔwo tso aseye esi wose nya sia.
And thei seiden to the messangeris that camen, Thus ye schulen seie to the men that ben in Jabes of Galaad, To morew schal be helthe to you, whanne the sunne is hoot. Therfor the messangeris camen, and telden to the men of Jabes; whiche weren glad,
10 Ale Yabestɔwo gblɔ na woƒe futɔwo be, “Míava mia gbɔ etsɔ eye miawɔ nu sia nu si dze mia ŋu la mí.”
and seiden, Eerli we schulen go out to you, and ye schulen do to vs al that plesith you.
11 Saul va do ŋdi kanya kple eƒe aʋakɔ si wòma ɖe aʋalɔgo etɔ̃ me. Edze Amonitɔwo dzi kpata eye wòwu wo tso ŋdi ma va se ɖe ŋdɔ. Ame siwo tsi agbe la kaka ale gbegbe be wo dometɔ eve aɖeke menɔ teƒe ɖeka o.
And it was don, whanne the morewe dai cam, Saul ordeynede the puple in to thre partis; and he entride in to the myddil tentis `in the wakyng of the morewtid, and he smoot Amon til the dai `was hoot; `forsothe the residues weren scaterid, so that tweyne togidere weren not left in hem.
12 Ameawo bia Samuel kple ɣli be, “Afi ka ame siwo be Saul manyo na mí o la le? Mikplɔ wo va afi sia ne míawu wo!”
And the puple seide to Samuel, Who is this, that seide, Saul schal not regne on vs? Yyue ye the men, and we schulen sle hem.
13 Ke Saul gblɔ be, “Womawu ame aɖeke egbe o elabena Yehowa ɖe Israel egbe!”
And Saul seide, No man schal be slayn in this dai, for to dai the Lord made helthe in Israel.
14 Samuel gblɔ na ameawo be, “Mina mí katã míayi Gilgal eye míada asi ɖe Saul dzi abe míaƒe fia ene.”
Forsothe Samuel seide to the puple, Come ye, and go we in to Galgala, and renule we there the rewme.
15 Ale woyi Gilgal eye woɖo Saul fiae le Yehowa ŋkume. Wosa akpedavɔ na Yehowa eye Saul kple Israelviwo katã kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔŋutɔ.
And al the puple yede in to Galgala, and there thei maden Saul kyng bifor the Lord `in Galgala; and thei offriden pesible sacrifices bifor the Lord. And Saul was glad there, and alle the men of Israel greetli.
