1 Saul xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-eve, ɖe Israel dzi;
Saul was a child of o yeer whanne he bigan to regne; forsothe he regnede on Israel twei yeer.
2 etia aʋawɔla tɔxɛ akpe etɔ̃ tso Israel. Ekplɔ wo dometɔ akpe eve ɖe eɖokui ŋuti yi Mikmas kple Betel to la dzi eye wògblẽ akpe ɖeka mamlɛa ɖe Yonatan, Saul ƒe vi gbɔ le Benyamin ƒe anyigba dzi. Eɖo asrafo bubuawo ɖe aƒe me.
And Saul chees to hym thre thousynde of Israel, and twei thousynde weren with Saul in Machynas, in the hil of Bethel; forsothe a thousynde weren with Jonathas in Gabaath of Beniamyn; sotheli he sente ayen the tother puple ech man in to `hise tabernaclis.
3 Yonatan si Filistitɔwo ƒe dzɔlawo le Geba eye nya sia ɖi le Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba blibo la dzi. Eye Saul ku aʋakpẽ le Israelnyigba blibo la dzi eye wòɖe gbeƒã be “Hebritɔwo katã nesee.”
And Jonathas smoot the stacioun of Filisteis, that was in Gabaa. And whanne Filisteis hadden herd this, Saul sownede with a clarioun in al the lond, and seide, Ebreys here.
4 Ale Israel dukɔ la se nyadzɔdzɔ la be: Saul tsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo ƒe dzɔlawo eye Israel zu nuɖianu na Filistitɔwo. Ale woyɔ Israel ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ƒo ƒu ɖe Saul ŋu le Gilgal.
And al Israel herde siche a fame, Saul smoot the stacioun of Filisteis; and Israel reiside hym silf ayens Filisteis; therfor the puple criede after Saul in Galgala.
5 Filistitɔwo ƒo ƒu aʋakɔ gã aɖe si me tasiaɖam akpe etɔ̃ kple sɔdola akpe ade kple afɔzɔla siwo sɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene la nɔ be woawɔ aʋa kple Israel. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Mikmas, le Bet Aven ƒe ɣedzeƒe gome.
And Filisteis weren gaderid to fiyte ayens Israel; `of Filisteis weren thretti thousynde of charis, and sixe thousynde of knyytis, and the tother comyn puple, as grauel `which is ful myche in the brynke of the see; and thei stieden, and settiden tentis in Machynas, at the eest of Bethauen.
6 Esi Israel ŋutsuwo kpɔ xaxa gã si me wonɔ kple ale si womimi woƒe aʋakɔ la ɖoe la, wosi yi ɖaɣla ɖe agadowo, avekɔewo, kpewo tome kple ʋewo me kple vudo siwo me tsi menɔ o la me.
And whanne men of Israel hadden seyn this, that thei weren set in streiytnesse, for the puple was turmentid, thei hidden hem silf in dennes, and in priuey places, and in stonys, and in dychis, and in cisternes.
7 Hebritɔ aɖewo gɔ̃ la tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la eye wosi yi Gad kple Gileadnyigbawo gɔ̃ hã dzi. Saul ya tsi Gilgal eye aʋakɔ siwo nɔ eŋu la dzo nyanyanya le vɔvɔ̃ ta.
Sotheli Ebreis passiden Jordan in to the lond of Gad and of Galaad. And whanne Saul was yit in Galgala, al the puple was aferd that suede hym.
8 Elala ŋkeke adre abe ale si Samuel ɖoe nɛ ene, gake Samuel meva Gilgal o eye Saul ƒe asrafowo de asi kaka le eŋu me.
And seuene daies he abood Samuel bi couenaunt, and Samuel cam not in to Galgala; and the puple yede a wei fro Saul.
9 Ale wògblɔ be, “Mitsɔ numevɔsa kple akpedavɔsa vɛ nam.” Ale Saul sa numevɔ la.
Therfor Saul seide, Brynge ye to me brent sacrifice, and pesible sacrifices; and he offride brent sacrifice.
10 Esi wòwu vɔsawo nu vɔ tetee ko la, Samuel va do. Saul yi be yeakpee ado gbe nɛ.
And whanne he hadde endid offrynge brent sacrifice, lo! Samuel cam; and Saul yede out ayens hym, to greete Samuel.
11 Samuel biae be, “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ?” Saul ɖo eŋu be, “Esi mekpɔ be nye aʋawɔlawo le kakam le ŋunye, evɔ mèva ɖo le ɣeyiɣi si nèɖo nam la dzi o, gawu la Filistitɔwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Mikmas.
And Samuel spak to hym, What hast thou do? Saul answeride, For Y siy that the puple yede awei fro me, and thou camest not bi the daies of couenaunt; certis Filisteis weren gaderid in Machynas;
12 Eya ta mesusui be azɔ la, Filistitɔwo ava dze dzinye le Gilgal evɔ nyemebia amenuveve tso Yehowa gbɔ o! Esia zi dzinye eye mewɔ numevɔsa la.”
Y seide, Now Filisteis schulen come doun to me in to Galgala, and Y haue not plesyd the face of the Lord; Y was compellid bi nede, and Y offryde brent sacrifice to the Lord.
13 Samuel gblɔ be, “Èwɔ bometsinu, mèlé Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe se si wòde na wò la me ɖe asi o. Nenye ɖe nèlé eme ɖe asi la, anye ne aɖo wò fiaɖuƒe la anyi le Israel hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã.
And Samuel seide to Saul, Thou hast do folili, and thou `keptist not the heestis of thi Lord God, whiche he comaundide to thee; and if thou haddist not do this thing, riyt now the Lord hadde maad redi thi rewme on Israel with outen ende;
14 Ke azɔ la, wò fiaɖuƒe mali ke o. Yehowa di ame si eƒe dzi di la na eɖokui eye wòɖoe eƒe dukɔ la ƒe kplɔlae elabena mèlé Yehowa ƒe sedede me ɖe asi o.”
but thi rewme schal not rise ferthere. The Lord hath souyt a man to hym silf after his herte; and the Lord comaundide to hym, that he schulde be duyk on his puple, for thou keptist not tho thingis whiche the Lord comaundide.
15 Tete Samuel dzo le Gilgal yi Gibea le Benyaminviwo ƒe anyigba dzi. Esi Saul xlẽ eƒe aʋawɔlawo la, ekpɔ be ame alafa ade koe susɔ!
Forsothe Samuel roos, and stiede fro Galgala in to Gabaa of Beniamyn; and the `residue puplis stieden after Saul ayens the puple which fouyten ayens hem; and thei camen fro Galgala in to Gabaa, in the hil of Beniamyn. And Saul noumbride the puple, that weren foundun with hym as sixe hundrid men.
16 Saul kple Yonatan kple ame alafa ade siawo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Gibea le Benyaminviwo ƒe anyigba dzi le esime Filistitɔwo ganɔ Mikmas.
And Saul, and Jonathas his sone, and the puple that was foundun with hem, was in Gabaa of Beniamyn; forsothe Filisteis saten togidere in Machynas.
17 Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋalɔgo etɔ̃ ho tso woƒe asaɖa me be yewoayi aɖaha nuwo. Aʋalɔgo ɖeka ɖo ta Ofra le Sual nyigba dzi;
And thre cumpanyes yeden out of the `castels of Filisteis to take prey; o cumpany yede ayens the weie of Effraym to the lond of Saul;
18 aʋalɔgo evelia yi Bet Horon eye etɔ̃lia ɖo ta liƒo si le Zeboim ƒe balime te ɖe gbegbe la ŋu la dzi.
sothely an other cumpeny entride bi the weie of Bethoron; forsothe the thridde cumpenye turnede it silf to the weie of the terme in the lond of Sabaa; and that terme neiyeth to the valey of Seboym ayens the deseert.
19 Gbede aɖeke menɔ Israelnyigba blibo la dzi le ŋkeke mawo me o elabena Filistitɔwo gblɔ bena, ne menye nenema o la, Hebritɔwo ava tu yiwo alo akplɔwo!
Forsothe `no smyyth of yrun was foundun in al the lond of Israel; for Filisteis `weren war, ether eschewiden, lest perauenture Ebreis maden a swerd ether a spere.
20 Eya ta ɣe sia ɣi si Israelviwo di be yewoanyre yewoƒe agbleŋlɔnuwo, fiawo kple nuxanuwo la, wotsɔa wo yia Filistitɔwo ƒe gbedewo gbɔ.
Therfor al Israel yede doun to Filisteis, that ech man schulde scharpe his schar, and picoise, and ax, `and sarpe;
21 Nenye be wonyre agbleŋlɔnuawo la, woxea klosaloga gram enyi, nenema kee nye fi hã, ke woxea klosaloga gram ene ɖe gaflu kple fiawo hekpe ɖe nuŋɔnuwo nyenyre ŋuti.
`and so alle egis weren bluntid `of scharris, and of picoisis, and of `forkis of thre teeth, and of axis, `til to a pricke to be amendid.
22 Ale yi alo akplɔ aɖeke menɔ Israel ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la si gbe ma gbe o negbe ɖekaɖeka siwo nɔ Saul kple Yonatan si ko.
And whanne the dai of batel cam, no swerd and spere was foundun in the hond of al the puple that was with Saul and Jonathas, outakun Saul, and Jonathas his sone.
23 Azɔ Filistitɔwo ɖe asrafo aɖewo woyi ɖaxɔ mɔ si ɖo ta Mikmas.
Forsothe the stacioun of Filisteis yede out, that it schulde passe in to Machynas.
