I Samuel 13
1 [Tallo pulo] ti tawen ni Saul idi nangrugi isuna nga agturay; idi nagturay isuna iti [uppat a pulo] a tawen iti Israel,
Saul was thirty when he became king, and he reigned over Israel for forty-two years.
2 nangpili isuna iti tallo ribu a lallaki ti Israel. Dua ribu ti kaduana idiay Mikmas ken iti turod a pagilian ti Betel, idinto a sangaribu ti kadua ni Jonatan iti Gabaa idiay Benjamin. Pinagawidna dagiti nabatbati kadagiti soldado, tunggal maysa iti toldana.
Saul had chosen three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand of them were with Saul in Michmash and the hill country of Bethel, and another thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the army home.
3 Pinarmek ni Jonatan ti agbanbantay a buyot dagiti Filisteo nga adda idiay Geba ket nangngeg daytoy dagiti Filisteo. Ket pinaguni ni Saul ti tangguyob iti entero a daga, kunana, “Dumngeg koma dagiti Hebreo.”
Jonathan attacked the Philistine garrison at Geba. The Philistines soon heard about it, so Saul had the trumpet call to arms sounded throughout the land, saying, “Hebrews, pay attention!”
4 Nangngeg ti entero nga Israel a pinarmek ni Saul ti agbanbantay a buyot dagiti Filisteo, ken kasta met a nagbalin ti Israel a nabangsit kadagiti Filisteo. Ket napaayaban dagiti soldado tapno tumiponda kenni Saul idiay Gilgal.
All of Israel heard the news, “Saul has attacked the Philistine garrison, and now Israel is like a bad smell to the Philistines!” So the whole army was called up to join Saul at Gilgal.
5 Naguummong dagiti Filisteo tapno makigubat iti Israel: Tallopulo a ribu a karwahe, innem a ribu a lallaki a mangiturturong kadagiti karwahe, ken adu a buybuyot a kas kadagiti darat iti igid ti baybay ti bilangda. Simmang-atda ken nagkampoda idiay Mikmas, a daya ti Bet-aben.
The Philistines gathered to fight against Israel. They had three thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and soldiers as numerous as sand on the seashore. They advanced and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
6 Idi nakita dagiti lallaki ti Israel nga agpeggadda - ta mariribukan dagiti tattao, naglemmeng dagiti tattao kadagiti rukib, kadagiti kasiitan, kadagiti dadakkel a bato, kadagiti bubon, ken kadagiti abut.
When the Israelite men realized the tough situation they were in, and that the army was taking a beating, they hid themselves in caves, holes, rocks, pits, and cisterns.
7 Dagiti dadduma kadagiti Hebreo ket napan iti Jordan nga agturong iti daga ti Gad ken Galaad. Ngem adda pay laeng ni Saul idiay Gilgal, ket agpigpigerger a simmurot kenkuana dagiti amin a tattao.
Some of the Hebrews even crossed the Jordan into the territory of Gad and Gilead, but Saul stayed at Gilgal, and all the men with him were trembling with fear.
8 Naguray isuna iti pito nga aldaw, ti tiempo nga inkeddeng ni Samuel. Ngem saan a dimteng ni Samuel idiay Gilgal, ket nagwawara dagiti tattao manipud kenni Saul.
Saul waited there seven days for the time that Samuel had said, but Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, and the army started to desert him.
9 Kinuna ni Saul, “Iyegyo kaniak ti daton a mapuoran ken dagiti daton a pakikappia.” Ket indatonna ti daton a mapuoran.
So Saul ordered, “Bring the burnt offering and the friendship offerings to me,” and he presented the burnt offering.
10 Apaman a nalpasna nga indaton ti daton a mapuoran, simmangpet ni Samuel. Rimmuar ni Saul tapno sabatenna ken kablaawanna isuna.
Just as he finished presenting the burnt offering, he saw Samuel arrive. Saul went over to meet him and say hello.
11 Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Ania ti inaramidmo?” Simmungbat ni Saul, “Idi nakitak a pagpapanawandak dagiti tattao, ken saanka a dimteng iti naikeddeng a tiempo, ken naguummong dagiti Filisteo idiay Mikmas,
“What have you done?” Samuel asked. Saul replied, “Well I saw my men were deserting me, and you hadn't arrived when you said you would, and the Philistines were gathering at Michmash to attack.
12 kinunak, 'Ita, sumalog dagiti Filisteo a maibusor kaniak idiay Gilgal, ket saanak pay nagkiddaw iti tulong ni Yahweh.' Isu nga impilitko nga idaton ti daton a mapuoran.”
I said to myself, ‘The Philistines are about to attack me at Gilgal, and I haven't asked the Lord for his help.’ So I felt I had to present the burnt offering myself.”
13 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kenni Saul, “Nagtignayka a simamaag. Saanmo a sinalimetmetan ti bilin nga inted kenka ni Yahweh a Diosmo. Iti kasta pinatalged koma ni Yahweh ti panagturaymo iti Israel iti agnanayon.
“You've been really stupid,” Samuel told him. “You haven't kept the commands of the Lord your God. If you had, the Lord would have made your kingdom over Israel secure forever.
14 Ngem ita, saanto nga agtuloy ti panagturaymo. Nangbirok ni Yahweh iti tao a kas maiyannurot iti pusona, ket dinutokan isuna ni Yahweh nga agbalin a prinsipe kadagiti tattaona, gapu ta saanka a nagtulnog iti imbilinna kenka.”
But now your kingdom won't last. The Lord has found for himself a man who thinks like him, and has chosen him as ruler over his people, because you haven't kept the commands of the Lord.”
15 Isu a nagrubbuat ni Samuel ket simmang-at idiay Geba iti Benjamin manipud Gilgal. Ket binilang ni Saul dagiti tattao nga adda sadiay a kaduana, agarup innem a gasut a lallaki.
Then Samuel left Gilgal. The rest of the soldiers followed Saul to meet the army, going from Gilgal to Geba in Benjamin. Saul counted the number of soldiers who were with him and there were about six hundred.
16 Nagtalinaed ni Saul, ni Jonatan nga anakna, ken dagiti tattao nga adda sadiay a kaduada iti Geba idiay Benjamin. Ngem nagkampo dagiti Filisteo idiay Mikmas.
Saul, his son Jonathan, and the soldiers with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, while the Philistines were camped at Michmash.
17 Naggapu dagiti sumasamsam manipud iti kampo dagiti Filisteo iti tallo a bunggoy. Ti maysa a bunggoy ket nagturong iti Opra, iti daga ti Sual.
Three groups of raiders left the Philistine camp to go and attack. One group went towards Ophrah in the land of Shual,
18 Ti maysa met a bungoy ket nagturong iti Bet-horon, ken ti maysa pay a bunggoy ket nagturong iti beddeng a matannawagan ti tanap ti Zeboim nga agturong iti let-ang.
one towards Beth-horon, and one towards the border that looks down on the Valley of Zeboim by the wilderness.
19 Awan ti masarakan a pumapanday iti entero nga Israel, gapu ta kinuna dagiti Filisteo, “Amangan no mangaramid dagiti Hebreo kadagiti kampilan wenno gayangda.”
There wasn't a blacksmith to be found anywhere in Israel, because the Philistines had said, “So that the Hebrews don't make swords and spears.”
20 Ngem masansan a sumalog dagiti amin a lallaki ti Israel kadagiti Filisteo, tapno ipaasada ti tunggal sudsod ti aradoda, ti gabyunda, ti wasayda, ken ti kumpayda.
All the Israelites had to go to the Philistines to sharpen their iron plowshares, pickaxes, axes, and sickles.
21 Ti bayad para kadagiti sudsod ti arado ken kadagiti gabyun ket mamindua iti apagkatlo iti maysa a siklo, ken ti para iti panangasa kadagiti wasay ken pananglinteg kadagiti pagkawit a sarukod ket apagkatlo iti maysa a siklo
The fee was two-thirds of a shekel for plowshares and pickaxes, and a third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and cattle prods.
22 Isu nga iti aldaw ti gubat, awan ti makita a kampilan wenno gayang kadagiti ima iti siasinoman kadagiti soldado a kadua ni Saul ken ni Jonatan: ni Saul ken ni Jonatan nga annakna laeng ti addaan kadagitoy.
So when it came to the day of battle none of the soldiers with Saul and Jonathan had swords or spears—only Saul and his son Jonathan had such weapons.
23 Adda kampo dagiti Filisteo iti dalan nga agturong iti Mikmas.
A Philistine garrison had taken control of the pass at Michmash.
