< 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.”
Then Nahash the Ammonite came vp, and besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with vs, and we will be thy seruants.
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 Nahash ye Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a couenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eies, and bring that shame vpon 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.”
To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no man deliuer vs, 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.
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the people: and all the people lift vp 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 the cattell out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
6 Idi nangngeg ni Saul ti imbagada, immay ti Espiritu ti Dios kenkuana, ket nakaunget unay isuna.
Then the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angrie,
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 tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul, and after Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
8 Idi naummongna ida idiay Besek, tallo gasut a ribu dagiti tattao ti Israel, ket dagiti lallaki ti Juda ket tallopulo a ribu.
And when he nombred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundreth thousande men: and the men of Iudah thirtie 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.
Then they saide vnto the messengers that came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, which 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.”
Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To morowe we will come out vnto you, and yee shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
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 when the morowe was come, Saul put the people in three bandes, and they came in vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and they that remained, 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.
Then the people said vnto Samuel, Who is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring those men that we may slaie 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.”
But Saul said, There shall no man die this day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
14 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kadagiti tattao, “Umaykayo, intayo idiay Gilgal ket sadiay, pasingkedantayo ti panagbalin ni Saul nga ari.”
Then saide Samuel vnto ye people, Come, that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome 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.
So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.
