1 Gbe ɖeka la, Fiavi Yonatan gblɔ na ɖekakpui si nye eƒe adekplɔvi la be, “Na míato balime la ayi Filistitɔwo ƒe dzɔlawo gbɔ.” Ke megblɔe na fofoa be yeyina o.
And it bifelde in a day, that Jonathas, the sone of Saul, seide to his squyer, a yong man, Come thou, and passe we to the staciouns of the Filisteis, which is biyende that place; `sotheli he schewide not this same thing to his fadir.
2 Saul kple eƒe aʋawɔla alafa adeawo ƒo ƒu ɖe yevuboɖati la gbɔ le Migron.
Sotheli Saul dwellide in the laste part of Gabaa, vndur a pumgarnarde tre, that was in the feeld of Gabaa; and the puple as of sixe hundrid men was with hym.
3 Nunɔla Ahiya si do akɔtawui hã nɔ ameawo dome. Ahiya nye Ahitub, Ikabod nɔvi ƒe vi, eganye Finehas ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi eye Finehas fofoe nye Eli, Yehowa ƒe nunɔla le Silo. Ke ame aɖeke menya be Yonatan yi o.
And Achias, sone of Achitob, brother of Icaboth, sone of Fynees, that was gendrid of Ely, preest of the Lord in Silo, bar ephod, `that is, the preestis cloth; but also the puple wiste not whidur Jonathas hadde go.
4 Hafi Yonatan naɖo Filistitɔwo ƒe dzɔlawo gbɔ la, ele nɛ be wòato mɔ xaxɛ aɖe si to agakpe eve dome la dzi. Woyɔa agakpe ɖeka be Bozez eye woyɔa evelia be Sene.
Sotheli bitwixe the stiyngis, bi whiche Jonathas enforside to passe to the stacioun of Filisteis, weren stonys stondynge forth on euer either side, and scarris brokun bifore bi the maner of teeth on ech syde; name to oon was Boses, and name to `the tother was Sene;
5 Agakpe anyiehetɔ nɔ Mikmas ŋgɔ eye dziehetɔ nɔ Geba ŋgɔ.
o scarre was stondynge forth to the north ayens Machynas, and the tother scarre to the south ayens Gabaa.
6 Yonatan gblɔ na eƒe adekplɔvi be, “Na míayi aʋamatsomatsoetɔ mawo gbɔ, ɖewohĩ Yehowa awɔ nukunu aɖe na mí elabena amewo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ menye naneke le Yehowa gbɔ o!”
Forsothe Jonathas seide to his yong squyer, Come thou, passe we to the stacioun of these vncircumcisid men, if in hap the Lord do for vs; for it is not hard to the Lord to saue, ethir in manye ethir in fewe.
7 Adekplɔvi la gblɔ be, “Yoo, wɔ nu si nyo na wò; mele yowòme sesĩe.”
And his squyer seide to hym, Do thou alle thingis that plesen thi soule; go whidur thou coueitist, Y schal be with thee, where euer thou wolt.
8 Yonatan gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo, nu si míawɔ enye
And Jonathas seide, Lo! we passen to these men; and whanne we apperen to hem,
9 ne futɔwo kpɔ mí eye wogblɔ be, ‘Mitɔ ɖe afi ma ne menye nenema o la, míawu mi’ la, ekema míatɔ alala wo.
if thei speken thus to vs, Dwelle ye, til we comen to you; stonde we in oure place, and stie we not to hem.
10 Ke ne wogblɔ be, ‘Milia toa miava wɔ aʋa kpli mí’ la, ekema míawɔ nenema tutututu elabena eyae anye dzesi be Yehowa tsɔ wo de asi na mí.”
Sotheli if thei seien, Stye ye to vs; stie we, for the Lord hath bitake hem in oure hondis; this schal be a signe to vs.
11 Esi Filistitɔwo kpɔ wo wogbɔna la, wodo ɣli be, “Mikpɔ ɖa, Israelviwo le dodom le woƒe dowo me!”
`Therfor euer either apperide to the stacioun of Filisteis; and Filisteis seiden, Lo! Ebreis goen out of caues, in whiche thei weren hid.
12 Wodo ɣli na Yonatan be, “Lia toa nàva kpɔ nane ɖa.” Yonatan gblɔ na eƒe adekplɔvi be, “Lia toa eye nànɔ yonyeme tututu elabena Yehowa akpe ɖe mía ŋu míaɖu wo dzi!”
And men of the stacioun spaken to Jonathas and to his squyer, and seiden, Stie ye to vs, and we schulen schewe to you a thing. And Jonathas seide to his squyer, `Stie we, sue thou me; for the Lord hath bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel.
13 Ale wota le asi kple klo dzi yi wo gbɔ, kasia Filistitɔwo de asi sisi me esi Yonatan kple eƒe adekplɔvi la de asi wo wuwu me.
Forsothe Jonathas stiede crepynge on hondis and feet, and his squyer after hym; and whanne thei hadden seyn the face of Jonathas, summe felden doun bifor Jonathas, his squier killed othere, and suede hym.
14 Wowu wo dometɔ blaeve eye ame kukuawo kaka ɖe teƒe si de agbleka afã.
And the firste wounde was maad, which Jonathas and his squyer smoot, as of twenti men, in `the myddil part of lond which a peire of oxun was wont to ere in the dai.
15 Nu sia na Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋawɔlawo kple nuhalawo sia vɔ̃ eye wotɔtɔ. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la anyigba ʋuʋu sesĩe eye vɔvɔ̃ gaɖo futɔwo wu tsã elabena ŋɔdzi la tso Mawu gbɔ.
And a myracle was don in the castels, and bi the feeldis, but also al the puple of the `stacioun of hem that yeden out to take prey, dredde, and `the castels weren disturblid; and it bifelde as a myracle of God.
16 Saul ƒe gbetakpɔlawo le Benyamin ƒe Gibea kpɔ nu wɔnuku aɖe: wokpɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋawɔlawo nɔ sisim tso afii yi afi mɛ.
And aspyeris of Saul bihelden, that weren in Gabaa of Beniamyn, and lo! a multitude cast doun, and fleynge awei hidur and thidur.
17 Saul gblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Mikpɔe ɖa be ame kae mele afi sia o.” Esi woxlẽ ameawo la, wokpɔ be Yonatan kple eƒe adekplɔvi menɔ wo dome o.
And Saul seide to the puple that weren with hym, Seke ye, and se ye, who yede awei fro vs. And whanne thei hadden souyt, it was foundun, that Jonathas and his squyer weren not present.
18 Saul do ɣli gblɔ na Ahiya be, “Mitsɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la vɛ!” nubablaɖaka la nɔ Israelviwo dome ɣe ma ɣi.
And Saul seide to Achias, Brynge the arke of the Lord; for the arke of God was there in that dai with the sones of Israel.
19 Ke esi Saul nɔ nu ƒom na nunɔlaa la, Filistitɔwo ƒe ɣlidodo kple ʋunyaʋunyawɔwɔ le woƒe asaɖa me nɔ dzi dem ɖe edzi. Saul gblɔ be, “Netsɔ! Nya kae Yehowa gblɔ?”
And whanne Saul spak to the preest, a grete noise roos in the castelis of Filisteis; and it encresside litil and litil, and sownede cleerliere. And Saul seide to the preest, Withdraw thin hond.
20 Saul kple eƒe ame alafa adeawo zɔ ɖe Filistitɔwo dzi. Wokpɔ be wonɔ wo nɔewo wum ko nyamanyama.
Therfor Saul criede, and al the puple that was with hym; and thei camen `til to the place of batel, and, lo! the swerd of ech man was turned to his neiybore, and a ful grete sleynge was.
21 Hebritɔ siwo nɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ me tsã la, dze aglã eye wodzo va de Israelvi siwo le Saul kple Yonatan ŋu la dzi.
But also Ebreis that weren with Filisteis yistirday and the thridde dai ago, and hadde stied with hem in castels, turneden ayen to be with Israel, that weren with Saul and Jonathas.
22 Mlɔeba la, esi Israelvi siwo ɣla wo ɖokuiwo ɖe Efraim toawo dzi la kpɔ be Filistitɔwo nɔ sisim la, woawo hã va kpe ɖe wo nɔviwo ŋu wonya Filistitɔwo ɖe du nu.
Also alle men of Israel, that hadden hid hem silf in the hil of Effraym, herden that Filisteis hadden fled; and thei felouschipiden hem silf with her men in batel, and as ten thousynde of men weren with Saul.
23 Ale Yehowa ɖe Israel gbe ma gbe eye wowɔ aʋa la dze le Bet Aven ŋu.
And the Lord sauyde Israel in that day. Sotheli the batel cam til to Bethauen.
24 Ale Israelviwo ɖo xaxa gã aɖe me gbe ma gbe elabena Saul bla ameawo kple atam be, “Fiƒode ava ame si aɖu nu hafi fiẽ naɖo la dzi eye ame aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ aɖu nu o, va se ɖe esime mabia hlɔ̃ nye futɔwo!” Ale ame aɖeke meɖu nu la aʋakɔ me gbe ma gbe o.
And men of Israel weren felouschipid to hem silf in that dai; forsothe Saul swoor to the puple, and seide, Cursid be the man, that etith breed `til to euentid, til `Y venge me of myn enemyes.
25 Aʋakɔ blibo la ge ɖe ave la me eye wokpɔ anyitsi le anyigba.
And al the puple ete not breed. And al the comyn puple of the lond cam in to a forest, in which was hony on the `face of erthe.
26 Esi wole avea me la, wokpɔ anyitsi wole dzidzim gake ame aɖeke mede asi eme ɖuɖɔ o, elabena wovɔ̃ Saul ƒe atam si wòka la.
And so the puple entride in to the forest, and flowynge hony apperide; and no man puttide hond to his mouth, for the puple dredde the ooth.
27 Ke Yonatan ya mese se si fofoa de o eya ta wòtsɔ eƒe atikplɔ tɔ anyitsia me heno eye ŋusẽ gaɖo eŋu.
Forsothe Jonathas herde not, whanne his fadir swoor to the puple; and he helde forth the ende of a litil yerde, whiche he hadde in the hond, and dippide in to `a coomb of hony; and he turnede his hond to his mouth, and hise iyen weren liytned.
28 Ke ame aɖe gblɔ nɛ be fofoa, Saul, ƒo fi de ame sia ame si aɖu nane gbe ma gbe la, evɔ dɔwuame na ame sia ame gbɔdzɔ hafi.
And oon of the puple answeride, and seide, Thi fader boond the puple with an ooth, and seide, Cursid be the man that etith breed to dai. Forsothe the puple was feynt.
29 Yonatan gblɔ be, “Se sesẽ kae nye esi fofonye de na ameawo? Se sia agblẽ nu le mía ŋu boŋ. Mikpɔ ale si ŋusẽ ɖo menye esi meno anyitsi sue sia ɖa!
And Jonathas seide, My fadir hath disturblid the lond; ye sien, that myn iyen ben liytned, for Y tastide a litil of this hony;
30 Nenye ɖe woɖe mɔ be ameawo naɖu nu si wokpɔ le futɔwo dome la, anye ne míagate ŋu awu futɔ gbogbo aɖewo wu esia gɔ̃ hã.”
hou myche more if the puple hadde ete the prey of hise enemyes, which `prey it foond; whether not gretter veniaunce hadde be maad in Filisteis?
31 Ke wotsɔ dɔwuame nya Filistitɔwo eye wowu wo tso Mikmas yi Aiyalon ke, le esime woƒe ɖeɖiteameŋu nu ganɔ sesẽm ɖe edzi.
Therfore thei smytiden Filisteis in that dai fro Machynas `til in to Hailon. Forsothe the puple was maad ful wery;
32 Gbe ma gbe fiẽ la, wowu alẽ, nyi kple nyivi siwo woha le aʋa la me eye woɖu woƒe lã kple ʋua katã nenema.
and the puple turnede to prey, and took scheep and oxun, and calues; and thei killiden in the erthe; and the puple eet with blood.
33 Ame aɖe gblɔ nya si dzɔ la na Saul be ameawo nɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔm ɖe Yehowa ŋu to nuɖuɖu me. Saul gblɔ be, “Nu sia mesɔ kura o! Mimli kpe gã aɖe vɛ nam
And thei telden to Saul, and seiden, that the puple etynge with blood hadde synned to the Lord. And Saul seide, Ye han trespassid; walewe ye to me `riyt now a greet stoon.
34 eye miagblɔ na ameawo be woahe nyiawo kple alẽwo ava wu le afi sia eye woatsyɔ ʋu le wo me ale be womawɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu to ʋuɖuɖu me o.” Ale ame ɖe sia ɖe kplɔ eƒe nyi ɖe asi yi le zã ma me eye wowu wo le afi ma.
And Saul seyde, `Be ye spred abrood in to the comyn puple, and seie ye to hem, that ech man brynge to me his oxe and ram; and sle ye on this stoon, and ete ye, and ye schulen not do synne to the Lord, `and ete with blood. Therfor al the puple brouyte ech man an oxe in his hond `til to nyyt, and thei killiden there.
35 Saul ɖi eƒe vɔsamlekpui gbãtɔ na Yehowa.
Sotheli Saul bildide an auter to the Lord; and thanne firste he bigan to bilde an auter to the Lord.
36 Le esia megbe la, Saul gblɔ be, “Mina míanya Filistitɔwo to zã blibo la me eye míawu ame siwo susɔ la dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.” Ameawo lɔ̃ ɖe edzi be, “Enyo; wɔ nu sia nu si dze ŋuwò.” Ke nunɔla la gblɔ be, “Mina míabia Mawu gbã.”
And Saul seide, Falle we on the Filisteis in the nyyt, and waste we hem til the morewtid schyne; and leeue we not of hem a man. And the puple seide, Do thou al thing that semeth good to thee in thin iyen. And the preest seide, Neiye we hidur to God.
37 Ale Saul bia Mawu be, “Ɖe míayi Filistitɔwo nyanya dzia? Ɖe nàkpe ɖe mía ŋu míaɖu wo dzia?” Ke Yehowa meɖo nya aɖeke ŋu le zã blibo la me o.
And Saul counselide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal pursue Filisteis? whether thou schalt bitake hem in to the hondis of Israel? And the Lord answeride not to him in that dai.
38 Ale Saul gblɔ na kplɔlawo be, “Ame aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Mawu ŋu, ele be míadze si nu vɔ̃ si míewɔ egbe.
And Saul seide, Brynge ye hidur alle the corneris of the puple, and wite ye, and se, bi whom this synne bifelde to dai.
39 Mele atam kam na Mawu ame si ɖe Israel dukɔ la be, nenye nye ŋutɔ vinye, Yonatan kurae wɔ nu vɔ̃ sia hã la aku kokoko.” Ke womekpɔ ame si wɔ nu vɔ̃ la o.
The Lord sauyour of Israel lyueth; for if `it is don bi Jonathas my sone, he schal die with out ayen drawyng. At which ooth no man of al the puple ayenseide hym.
40 Tete Saul gblɔ na Israelviwo katã be, “Mitsi tsitre ɖe afi ma ke nye kple vinye Yonatan míatsi tsitre ɖe afii.” Ameawo ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wɔ nu sia nu si ke nyo na wo.”
And he seide to al Israel, Be ye departid in to o part, and Y with my sone Jonathas schal be in the tothir part. And the puple answeride to Saul, Do thou that, that semeth good in thin iyen.
41 Ale Saul do gbe ɖa na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la be. “Nu ka ŋuti mètɔ na wò dɔla egbea o? Ne vodada la le menye alo vinye, Yonatan me la, ekema ɖo eŋu na mí to Urim dzi, gake nenye Israelviwo mee agɔdzedze la le la, tɔ na mí to Tumim dzi.” Ale wodzidze nu ɖe Yonatan kple Saul dzi eye wòdze wo dzi ale womebu fɔ ameawo o.
And Saul seide to the Lord God of Israel, Lord God of Israel, yyue thou doom, what is, that thou answerist not to dai to thi seruaunt? If this wickidness is in me, ether in Jonathas my sone, yyue thou schewyng; ether if this wickidnesse is in thi puple, yyue thou hoolynesse. And Jonathas was takun, and Saul; forsothe the puple yede out.
42 Azɔ Saul gblɔ be, “Midzidze nu ɖe nye kple Yonatan dzi.” Esi woagadzidze nua la, edze Yonatan dzi.
And Saule seide, Sende ye lot bitwixe me and Jonathas my sone. And Jonathas was takun `bi lot.
43 Saul gblɔ na Yonatan be, “Vinye, nu kae nèwɔ?” Yonatan gblɔ be, “Meɖɔ anyitsi sue aɖe kpɔ, sue aɖe si nɔ nye atikplɔ ŋu koe meɖuɖɔ, ke azɔ la medze na ku.”
Forsothe Saul seide to Jonathas, Schewe thou to me, what thou didist. And Jonathas schewide to hym, and seide, Y tastynge tastide a litil of hony `in the ende of the yerde, that was in myn hond; and lo!
44 Saul gblɔ be, “Ɛ̃, Yonatan, ele be nàku, Mawu neƒom ƒu anyi maku ne womewu wò ɖe nu sia ta o.”
Y die. And Saul seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde `these thingis, for thou, Jonathas, schalt die bi deeth.
45 Ke aʋawɔlawo ɖo eŋu be, “Yonatan, ame si ɖe Israel egbea nakua? Gbeɖe! Míeka atam kple Mawu ƒe agbe be ame aɖeke maka asi Yonatan ƒe taɖa ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã ŋu o elabena Mawu wɔ eŋu dɔ hewɔ nukunu triakɔ aɖe egbe.” Ale ameawo xɔ na Yonatan.
And the puple seide to Saul, `Therfor whethir Jonathas schal die, that dide this greet helthe in Israel? this is vnleueful; the Lord lyueth; noon heer of his heed schal falle in to erthe; for he wrouyte with God to dai. Therfor the puple delyuerede Jonathas, that he diede not.
46 Saul na aʋawɔlawo gbugbɔ eye Filistitɔwo trɔ yi aƒe.
And Saul yede a wey, and pursuede not Filisteis; sotheli Filisteys yeden in to her places.
47 Esi Saul zu fia ɖe Israel dzi la, ewɔ aʋa kple woƒe futɔwo le akpa sia akpa dzi: Moabtɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Edomtɔwo, Zoba fiawo kple Filistitɔwo siaa. Afi sia afi si ke wotrɔ ɖo la, eɖua wo dzi vevie.
And Saul, whanne the rewme was `confermyd on Israel, fauyt bi cumpas ayens alle hise enemyes, ayens Moab, and the sones of Amon, and Edom, and ayens the kyngis of Soba, and ayens Filisteis; and whidur euer he turnede hym, he ouercam.
48 Ewɔ aʋa kalẽtɔe, ɖu Amalekitɔwo dzi eye wòɖe Israel tso ame siwo katã ha wo la si me.
And whanne the oost was gaderid, he smoot Amalech; and delyuerede Israel fro the hond of hise distrieris.
49 Viŋutsu etɔ̃, Yonatan, Isvi kple Malki Sua kple vinyɔnu eve, Merab kple Mixal nɔ Saul si.
Forsothe the sones of Saul weren Jonathas, and Jesuy, and Melchisua; the names of hise twei douytris, name of the firste gendrid douyter was Merob, and name `of the lesse douyter was Mycol.
50 Saul srɔ̃e nye Ahinoam, Ahimaaz vinyɔnu. Eƒe aʋafiae nye Abner, etɔɖia Ner viŋutsu
And name of `the wijf of Saul was Achynoem, the douytir of Achymaas; and the name of the prince of his chyualrye was Abner, sone of Ner, brother of the fadir of Saul.
51 Saul fofo, Kis kple Abner fofo, Ner wonye Abiel viŋutsuwo.
Forsothe Cys was the fadir of Saul; and Ner, the sone of Abiel, was fadir of Abner.
52 Israel wɔ aʋa kple Filistitɔwo edziedzi le Saul ƒe agbenɔɣi. Ne Saul kpɔ ɖekakpui sesẽ kalẽtɔ aɖe ko la, ehenɛ dea eƒe aʋakɔ la me.
Sotheli myyti batel was ayens Filisteis in alle the daies of Saul; for whom euere Saul siy a strong man and schapli to batel, Saul felouschipide to him silf that man.
