Uk-ukom 9
1 Napan ni Abimelec nga anak ni Jerubbaal kadagiti kabagian ti inana idiay Sikem ket kinunana kadakuada ken iti sibubukel a puli ti pamilia ti inana,
And Abimelech the son of Jerobaal went to Sichem to his mother’s brethren and spoke to them, and to all the kindred of his mother’s father, saying:
2 “Pangngaasiyo ta ibagayo daytoy, tapno mangngegan dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti Sikem: 'Ania ti nasaysayaat para kadakayo? Iturayannakayo dagiti amin a pitopulo nga annak a lallaki ni Jerubbaal, wenno maysa laeng ti mangituray kadakayo?' Laglagipenyo a tulang ken lasagdak.”
Speak to all the men of Sichem: whether is better for you that seventy men all the sons of Jerobaal should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And withal consider that I am your bone, and your flesh.
3 Nakisarita dagiti kabagian ti inana kadagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem para kenkuana, ket immanamongda a sumurot kenni Abimelec, ta kinunada, “Kabsattayo isuna.”
And his mother’s brethren spoke of him to all the men of Sichem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying: He is our brother:
4 Inikkanda isuna iti pitopulo a pidaso ti pirak manipud iti balay ni Baal-Berit, ket inusar ni Abimelec daytoy a pinangtangdan kadagiti nasukir ken darasudos a lallaki, a simmurot kenkuana.
And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him.
5 Napan isuna iti balay ti amana idiay Ofra, ket pinapatayna ti pitopulo a kakabsatna iti rabaw ti maysa a bato, dagiti putot a lallaki ni Jerubbaal. Ni laeng Jotam nga inaudi nga anak ni Jerubbaal ti nabati, gapu ta naglemmeng isuna.
And he came to his father’s house in Ephra, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden.
6 Naguummong dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti Sikem ken Betmillo ket napanda iti abay ti lugo iti asideg ti adigi nga adda idiay Sikem, ket pinagbalinda nga ari ni Abimelec.
And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem.
7 Idi naibaga kenni Jotam ti maipanggep iti daytoy, napan isuna nagtakder iti tapaw ti Bantay Gerizim. Nagpukkaw isuna ket kinunana kadakuada, “Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a mangidadaulo iti Sikem, tapno denggennakayo koma ti Dios.
This being told to Joatham, he went and stood on the top of mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you.
8 Iti naminsan, napan dagiti kayo tapno mangpulot iti arida. Ket kinunada iti kayo nga olibo, 'Iturayannakami.'
The trees went to anoint a king over them: and they said to the olive tree: Reign thou over us.
9 Ngem kinuna ti kayo nga olibo kadakuada, 'Rumbeng kadi nga isardengko ti lanak, a maus-usar a pagdayaw iti Dios ken tao, tapno agsubliak nga agampaampayag laeng iti rabaw dagiti sabali a kayo?'
And it answered: Can I leave my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, to come to be promoted among the trees?
10 Kinuna dagiti kayo iti kayo nga igos, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
And the trees said to the fig tree: Come thou and reign over us.
11 Ngem kinuna ti kayo nga igos kadakuada, 'Rumbeng kadi nga isardengko ti kinasam-itko ken ti nasayaat a bungak, tapno laeng makasubliak nga agampaampayag iti rabaw dagiti sabali a kayo?'
And it answered them: Can I leave my sweetness, and my delicious fruits, and go to be promoted among the other trees?
12 Kinuna dagiti kayo iti ubas, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
And the trees said to the vine: Come thou and reign over us.
13 Kinuna ti ubas kadakuada, 'Rumbeng kadi nga isardengko ti baro nga arakko, a mangparparagsak iti Dios ken tao, ken agsubliak nga agampaampayag iti rabaw dagiti sabali a kayo?'
And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees?
14 Ket kinuna dagiti amin a kayo iti nasiit a mula, 'Umayka ket iturayannakami.'
And all the trees said to the bramble: Come thou and reign over us.
15 Kinuna ti nasiit a mula kadagiti kayo, 'No pudno a kayatdak a pulotan a kas ariyo, umaykayo ngarud ket makasarakkayo iti talged iti sirok ti linongko. No saan, rummuar koma ti apuy manipud iti nasiit a mula ket puoranna koma dagiti sedro ti Libano.'
And it answered them: If indeed you mean to make me king, come ye and rest under my shadow: but if you mean it not, let fire come out from the bramble, and devour the cedars of Libanus.
16 Ita ngarud, no napudno ken nalintegkayo, idi pinagbalinyo ni Abimelec nga ari, ket no nasayaat ti inaramidyo kenni Jerubbaal ken iti balayna, ket no dinusayo isuna a kas maikari kenkuana-
Now therefore if you have done well, and without sin in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him, who fought for you,
17 - ken panunotenyo a nakigubat ti amak gapu kadakayo, insakripisyona ti biagna, ket inispalnakayo manipud iti ima ti Midian-
And exposed his life to dangers, to deliver you from the hands of Madian,
18 ngem ita nga aldaw bimmusorkayo iti balay ti amak ket pinatayyo dagiti putotna a lallaki, pitopulo a tattao, iti rabaw ti maysa a bato. Ket pinagbalinyo nga ari ni Abimelec nga anak ti babai nga adipenna, kadagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem, gapu ta kabagianyo isuna.
And you are now risen up against my father’s house, and have killed his sons seventy men upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his handmaid king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother:
19 Ket no napudno ken nalintegkayo kenni Jerubbaal ken iti balayna, makiparagsakkayo ngarud kenni Abimelec, ket makipagragsak met isuna kadakayo.
If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault with Jerobaal, and his house, rejoice ye this day in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you.
20 Ngem no saan, rummuar koma ti apuy kenni Abimelec ket puoranna dagiti lallaki ti Sikem ken ti balay ni Millo. Rummuar koma ti apuy kadagiti lallaki ti Sikem ken Betmillo a mangpuor kenni Abimelec.”
But if unjustly: let fire come out from him, and consume the inhabitants of Sichem, and the town of Mello: and let fire come out from the men of Sichem, and from the town of Mello, and devour Abimelech.
21 Naglibas ken nagtaray ni Jotam, ket napan isuna idiay Beer. Nagnaed isuna sadiay gapu ta adayo daytoy kenni Abimelec a kabsatna.
And when he had said thus he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22 Nagturay ni Abimelec iti Israel iti las-ud ti tallo a tawen.
So Abimelech reigned over Israel for three years.
23 Nangibaon ti Dios iti dakes nga espiritu iti nagbaetan ni Abimelec ken dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem. Liniputan dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem ni Abimelec.
And the Lord sent a very evil spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Sichem: who began to detest him,
24 Inaramid ti Dios daytoy tapno maibales ti kinaranggas a naaramid kadagiti pitopulo a putot a lallaki ni Jerubbaal, ket ikaro ni Abimelec a kabsatda ti panangpapatayna kadakuada; ken ikaro met dagiti lallaki ti Sikem ti panangtulongda kenkuana a nangpatay kadagiti kabsatna.
And to leave the crime of the murder of the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and the shedding of their blood upon Abimelech their brother, and upon the rest of the princes of the Sichemites, who aided him.
25 Isu a nangipuesto dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem iti lallaki tapno agpadaan iti tapaw dagiti turod tapno mabalinda a saneben isuna, ket tinakawanda amin a lumabas kadakuada iti dayta a dalan. Naipadamag daytoy kenni Abimelec.
And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech.
26 Immay ni Gaal nga anak ni Ebed a kaduana dagiti kabagianna ket napanda idiay Sikem. Nagtalek dagiti mangidadaulo iti Sikem kenkuana.
And Gaal the son of Obed came with his brethren, and went over to Sichem. And the inhabitants of Sichem taking courage at his coming,
27 Napanda iti talon ket nagburasda kadagiti ubas manipud kadagiti kaubasan, ket binaddebaddekanda dagitoy. Nagrambakda iti balay ti diosda, a nanganan ken naginumanda, ket inlunodda ni Abimelec.
Went out into the fields, wasting the vineyards, and treading down the grapes: and singing and dancing they went into the temple of their god, and in their banquets and cups they cursed Abimelech.
28 Kinuna ni Gaal a putot ni Ebed, “Siasino ni Abimelec, ken siasino ni Sikem, a rumbeng a pagserbiantayo isuna? Saan kadi nga isuna ti anak ni Jerubbaal? Ken saan kadi a ni Zebul ti opisialna? Agserbitayo kadagiti lallaki ni Hamor, nga ama ni Sikem! Apay koma nga agserbitayo kenkuana?
And Gaal the son of Obed cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul his servant ruler over the men of Emor the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him?
29 Adda la koma ti turayko kadagitoy a tattao! Ket ikkatek ni Abimelec. Ibagak kenni Abimelec, 'Awagam dagiti amin nga armadam.”'
Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come.
30 Idi nangngeg ni Zebul nga opisial iti siudad dagiti imbaga ni Gaal a putot a lalaki ni Ebed, simged ti ungetna.
For Zebul the ruler of the city, hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Obed, was very angry,
31 Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan kenni Abimelec tapno mangallilaw, a kunana, “Adtoy, immay ni Gaal nga anak ni Ebed ken dagiti kabagianna idiay Sikem, ket rirriribukenda ti siudad a maibusor kenka.
And sent messengers privately to Abimelech, saying: Behold Gaal the son of Obed is come into Sichem with his brethren, and endeavoureth to set the city against thee.
32 Ita, bayat iti rabii, bumangonka ken dagiti soldado a kaduam, ket mangisaganakayo iti panangsaneb kadagiti talon.
Arise therefore in the night with the people that is with thee and he hid in the field:
33 Ket iti bigat, apaman a makasingising ti init, masapaka a bumangon ket rautem ti siudad. Ket inton rummuar isuna ken dagiti tattao a kaduana a maibusor kenka, aramidem ti aniaman a kabaelam nga aramiden kadakuada.”
And betimes in the morning at sun rising set upon the city. And when he shall come out against thee with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able.
34 Bimmangon ngarud bayat iti rabii ni Abimelec ken dagiti amin a lallaki a kaduana, ket nagsanebda a maibusor iti Sikem- nabingayda iti uppat a bunggoy.
Abimelech therefore arose with all his army by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places.
35 Rimmuar ni Gaal a putot ni Ebed ket nagtakder iti pagserkan iti ruangan ti siudad. Rimmuar ni Abimelec ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana manipud iti paglemlemmenganda.
And Gaal the son of Obed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and all his army with him from the places of the ambushes.
36 Idi nakita ni Gaal dagiti tattao, kinunana kenni Zebul, “Kitaem, adda tattao a sumalsalog manipud kadagiti tapaw dagiti turod!” Kinuna ni Zebul kenkuana, “Makitkitam laeng dagiti anniniwan kadagiti turod a kaslada la tattao.”
And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul: Behold a multitude cometh down from the mountains. And he answered him: Thou seest the shadows of the mountains as if they were the heads of men, and this is thy mistake.
37 Nagsao manen ni Gaal ket kinunana, “Kitaem, adda tattao a sumalsalog iti nagtengngaan ti daga, ket um-umay ti maysa a bunggoy manipud iti dalan iti lugo dagiti mammadles.”
Again Gaal said: Behold there cometh people down from the middle of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak.
38 Ket kinuna ni Zebul kenkuana, “Ayanna ita dagiti napnoan kinatangsit a sasaom, sika a nangibaga, ‘Siasino kadi ni Abimelec a rumbeng nga agserbitayo kenkuana?’ Saan kadi a dagitoy dagiti tattao a linaismo? Rummuarka ita ket makirangetka kadakuada.”
And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth wherewith thou saidst? Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him.
39 Rimmuar ni Gaal ket indauloanna dagiti lallaki ti Sikem, ket nakiranget isuna kenni Abimelec.
So Gaal went out in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech,
40 Kinamat isuna ni Abimelec, ket naglibas ni Gaal iti sangoananna. Ket adu ti napasag babaen kadagiti makapatay a sugsugat iti sangoanan ti pagserkan iti ruangan ti siudad.
Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city:
41 Nagtalinaed ni Abimelec idiay Aruma. Pinilit a pinapanaw ni Zebul ni Gaal ken dagiti kabagianna idiay Sikem.
And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it.
42 Kabigatanna, napan dagiti tattao ti Sikem idiay talon, ket naipadamag daytoy kenni Abimelec.
So the day following the people went out into the field. And it was told Abimelech.
43 Inkuyogna dagiti tattaona, biningayna ida iti tallo a bunggoy, ket nagsanebda kadagiti talon. Kimmita isuna ket nakitana dagiti tattao a rumrummuar manipud iti siudad. Ket rinaut ken pinatayna ida.
And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose and set upon them,
44 Rimmaut ni Abimelec ken dagiti bunggoy a kaduana ken sinerraanda ti pagserkan iti ruangan ti siudad. Rinaut dagiti dua a bunggoy dagiti amin nga adda iti talon ket pinatayda dagitoy.
With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field.
45 Agmalmalem a nakiranget ni Abimelec iti siudad iti dayta nga aldaw. Sinakupna ti siudad, ket pinatayna dagiti tattao nga adda iti daytoy. Rinebbana dagiti pader ti siudad ket winarasanna iti asin ti rabawna daytoy.
And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it.
46 Idi nangngeg daytoy dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti torre ti Sikem, simrekda iti sarikedked iti balay ni El-Berit.
And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong.
47 Naibaga kenni Abimelec a naguummong dagiti amin a mangidadaulo idiay torre ti Sikem.
Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together,
48 Simmang-at ni Abimelec ken dagiti amin a lallaki a kaduana idiay Bantay Zalmon. Nangala ni Abimelec iti wasay ket nangpukan kadagiti sanga. Binaklayna dagitoy ket imbilinna kadagiti lallaki a kaduana, “No ania ti nakitayo nga inaramidko, darasenyo ket aramidenyo met ti inaramidko.”
Went up into mount Selmon he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do you out of hand.
49 Isu a nangpukan ti tunggal maysa kadagiti sanga ket sinurotda ni Abimelec. Inggabsuonda dagitoy iti rabaw iti siled iti uneg ti daga, ket pinuoranda ti rabawna daytoy, iti kasta, natay dagiti amin a tattao iti torre ti Sikem, agarup sangaribu a lallaki ken babbai.
So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort they set it on fire: and so it came to pass that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem.
50 Kalpasanna, napan ni Abimelec idiay Tebes, ket nagkampo isuna iti ruar ti Tebes ken sinakupna daytoy.
Then Abimelech departing from thence came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.
51 Ngem adda maysa a natibker a torre iti siudad, ket nagkamang iti daytoy dagiti amin a lallaki ken babbai ken dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti siudad ket nagpupukda idiay. Ket immulida iti atep ti torre.
And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves.
52 Napan ni Abimelec iti torre ket rinautna daytoy, ket immasideg isuna iti ruangan ti torre tapno puoranna daytoy.
And Abimelech coming near the tower, fought stoutly: and approaching to the gate, endeavoured to set fire to it:
53 Ngem intupak ti maysa a babai ti akin-ngato a gilingan a bato iti ulo ni Abimelec ket nabuong ti bangabangana.
And behold a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
54 Ket dagus nga inayaban ni Abimelec ti agtutubo a lalaki a para-iggem iti armasna, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Asutem ti kampilanmo ket patayennak, tapno awanto ti agkuna maipanggep kaniak, 'Pinatay isuna ti maysa a babai.”' Dinuyok ngarud isuna ti agtutubo a lalaki, ket natay isuna.
And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him.
55 Idi nakita dagiti tattao ti Israel a natayen ni Abimelec, nagawidda iti pagtaenganda.
And when he was dead, all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes.
56 Ket kasta ti panangibales ti Dios iti kinadakes ni Abimelec nga inaramidna iti amana babaen iti panangpapatayna kadagiti pitopulo a kabsatna.
And God repaid the evil, that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren.
57 Pinagsubli ti Dios dagiti amin a kinadakes dagiti lallaki ti Sikem kadagiti bukodda nga ulo ket immay kadakuada ti lunod ni Jotam nga anak ni Jerubbaal.
The Sichemites also were rewarded for what they had done, and the curse of Joatham the son of Jerobaal came upon them.
