I Samuel 11
1 Kalpasanna, napan rinaut ni Nahas a taga-Amon ti Jabes Galaad. Kinuna dagiti amin a lallaki iti Jabes kenni Nahas, “Makitulagka kadakami, ket agserbikaminto kenka.”
And it came to pass about a month after this that Naas, the Ammonite came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2 Simmungbat ni Nahas a taga-Amon, “Makitulagak kadakayo ngem iti maysa a kondision, a suatek amin dagiti akin-kannawan a matmatayo, ket babaen iti kastoy a wagas, maibabainanto ti entero nga Israel.”
And Naas the Ammonite answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in all Israel.
3 Ket simmungbat kenkuana dagiti panglakayen ti Jabes, “Panawannakami nga agmaymaysa iti las-ud ti pito nga aldaw, tapno makaibaonkami kadagiti mensahero iti amin a masakupan ti Israel. Kalpasanna, no awan ti mangisalakan kadakami, sumukokaminto kenka.”
And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee.
4 Dimteng dagiti mensahero idiay Gabaa, a pagnanaedan ni Saul, ket imbagada kadagiti tattao ti napasamak. Nagsangit amin dagiti tattao iti napigsa.
The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
5 Ita, sarsarunnoen ni Saul dagiti bulog a baka iti ayan ti talon. Kinuna ni Saul, “Ania ti mapaspasamak kadagiti tattao ta agsangsangitda?” Imbagada kenni Saul ti imbaga dagiti lallaki iti Jabes.
And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes.
6 Idi nangngeg ni Saul ti imbagada, immay ti Espiritu ti Dios kenkuana, ket nakaunget unay isuna.
And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled.
7 Nangala isuna iti dua a baka, tinadtatadtadna dagitoy, ken impaiwarasna dagitoy kadagiti mensahero iti entero a masakupan ti Israel. Kinunana, “Siasinoman a saan a rummuar a sumurot kada Saul ken Samuel, daytoy ti maaramidto kadagiti bakana.” Ket immay kadagiti tattao ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh, ket nagsangsangkamaysada a rimmuar.
And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man.
8 Idi naummongna ida idiay Besek, tallo gasut a ribu dagiti tattao ti Israel, ket dagiti lallaki ti Juda ket tallopulo a ribu.
And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand.
9 Kinunada kadagiti dimteng a mensahero, “Ibagayonto kadagiti lallaki iti Jabes Galaad, 'Maispalkayonto sakbay a dumteng ti tengnga ti aldaw inton bigat.'” Napan ngarud imbaga daytoy dagiti mensahero kadagiti tattao ti Jabes, ket naragsakanda.
And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: Tomorrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes: and they were glad.
10 Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Jabes kenni Nahas, “Inton bigat sumukokaminto kadakayo, ket aramidenyonto kadakami ti aniaman nga ammoyo a nasayaat kadakayo.”
And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us.
11 Kabigatanna, binunggoy ni Saul dagiti tattao iti tallo. Dimtengda iti tengnga ti kampo iti parbangon, ket dinarup ken pinarmekda dagiti Amonita agingga iti umaldawen. Nagwawara dagiti nakalasat, isu nga awan ti dua a nagkadua a nagkuyog.
And it came to pass, when the morrow was come that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
12 Ket kinuna dagiti tattao kenni Samuel, “Siasino dagiti nangibaga a kunada, 'Iturayannatayonto kadi ni Saul?' Iyegyo dagiti lallaki, tapno papatayentayo ida.
And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men and we will kill them.
13 Ngem kinuna ni Saul, “Awan koma ti masapul a matay ita nga aldaw, gapu ta inispal ni Yahweh ti Israel ita nga aldaw.”
And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day, because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel:
14 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Umaykayo, intayo idiay Gilgal ket sadiay, pasingkedantayo ti panagbalin ni Saul nga ari.”
And Samuel said to the people: Come and let us go to Galgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.
15 Isu a napan amin dagiti tattao iti Gilgal ket pinagbalinda nga ari ni Saul iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Gilgal. Nangidatonda sadiay kadagiti daton a pakikappia iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket nagragsak iti kasta unay ni Saul ken dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel.
And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
