Sie Samuel 11
1 Sahp malem se tukun ma inge, Nahash, tokosra lun mwet Ammon, el us mwet mweun lal ac som kuhlusya acn Jabesh su oan in facl Gilead. Na mwet in acn Jabesh elos fahk nu sel Tokosra Nahash, “Orala sie oakwuk ku inmasrlosr, na kut fah orekma nu sum.”
And, about a month afterward, it happened that Nahash the Ammonite ascended and began to fight against Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Consider a pact with us, and we will serve you.”
2 Tokosra Nahash el fahk, “Nga ac oru oakwuk se inmasrlosr, tuh meet liki, nga ac tipalla atronmotowos layen layot tuh in mwe akmwekin nu sin mwet Israel nukewa.”
And Nahash the Ammonite responded to them, “With this will I strike a pact with you: if I may pluck out all your right eyes, and set you as a disgrace against all of Israel.”
3 Mwet kol lun mwet Jabesh elos fahk, “Soano len itkosr tuh kut in supwalik kas nu fin acn Israel nufon. Fin wanginna mwet ku in kasrekut, na kut ac fah filikutwot nu inpoum.”
And the elders of Jabesh said to him: “Grant to us seven days, so that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel. And if there is no one who may defend us, we will go out to you.”
4 Na ke mwet utuk kas elos tuku nu Gibeah, acn ma Saul el muta we, ac fahkak ma inge, mwet uh mutawauk tung ac asor.
Therefore, the messengers arrived at Gibeah of Saul. And they spoke these words in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5 Ke pacl se inge Saul el tufahna folok inimae me, wi cow natul, ac el siyuk sin mwet uh, “Mea se? Efu ku mwet uh tung?” Na elos fahk nu sel ma mwet Jabesh elos fahk ah.
And behold, Saul arrived, following oxen from the field. And he said, “What has happened to the people that they would weep?” And they explained to him the words of the men from Jabesh.
6 Ke Saul el lohng ma inge, ngunin God tuku ke ku nu facl ac el arulana foloyak.
And the Spirit of the Lord rose up within Saul when he had heard these words, and his fury was enraged exceedingly.
7 Saul el eis lukwa cow uh ac sipsipikya nu ke ip srisrik pukanten, ac sang mwet utuk kas in usalik nu in facl Israel nufon. Ac elos akkalemye nu sin mwet nukewa, fahk ouinge, “Kutena mwet fin tia welul Saul ac Samuel nu ke mweun uh, ac fah orek ouinge nu ke cow natul uh!” Mwet Israel elos sensen ke ma LEUM GOD El ac oru uh, pwanang elos nukewa fahsreni ke inse sefanna.
And taking both the oxen, he cut them into pieces, and he sent them into all the borders of Israel, by the hands of messengers, saying, “Whoever will not go out and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” Therefore, the fear of the Lord entered into the people, and they went out like one man.
8 Pisen mwet su toeni nu yorol Saul in acn Bezek, oasr tolfoko tausin mwet Israel ac tolngoul tausin mwet Judah.
And he took a census of them at Bezek. And there were three hundred thousand of the sons of Israel. And there were thirty thousand of the men of Judah.
9 Ac elos fahk nu sin mwet utuk kas Jabesh me, “Kowos som ac fahk nu sin mwet lowos an lah meet liki infulwen len lutu, elos ac fah moliyukla.” Ke mwet Jabesh elos lohng kas inge, elos engan ma lulap,
And they said to the messengers who had arrived: “So shall you say to the men who are of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow, when the sun will be hot, you shall have salvation.’” Therefore, the messengers went and announced it to the men of Jabesh, who became joyful.
10 ac elos fahk nu sel Tokosra Nahash, “Lutu kut ac fah srasrapo nu sum, ac kom ku in oru kutena ma kom lungse oru nu sesr.”
And they said, “In the morning, we will go out to you. And you may do whatever you please with us.”
11 Ke fong sac, Saul el kitalik mwet mweun lal nu ke u tolu. Toang in len tok ah, elos utyak nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Ammon uh ac mweunelos nwe ke sun infulwen len, ac elos onelosla. Mwet su painmoulla sin mwet Ammon elos kaingelik, kais sie ke inkanek lal sifacna.
And it happened that, when the next day had arrived, Saul arranged the people into three parts. And he entered into the middle of the camp at the early morning watch, and he struck down the Ammonites until the day grew hot. Then the remainder were dispersed, so much so that not even two of them were left together.
12 Na mwet Israel elos fahk nu sel Samuel, “Ku pia mwet ma fahk mu Saul el tia fal in tokosra facsr uh? Usalosme ac kut fah onelosla!”
And the people said to Samuel: “Who is the one who said, ‘Should Saul reign over us?’ Present the men, and we will put them to death.”
13 A Saul el fahk, “Wangin mwet ac fah anwuki misenge, tuh pa inge len se LEUM GOD El molela mwet Israel.”
And Saul said: “No one shall be killed on this day. For today the Lord has accomplished salvation in Israel.”
14 Na Samuel el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Lela kut nukewa in som nu Gilgal, ac sifilpa fahkak lah Saul el tokosra lasr.”
Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.”
15 Ke ma inge elos nukewa som nu Gilgal, ac fahkak in acn mutal we lah Saul el tokosra lalos. Elos oru mwe kisa in akinsewowo, ac Saul ac mwet nukewa elos arulana engan ac akfulatye len sac.
And all the people traveled to Gilgal. And there they made Saul king, in the sight of the Lord at Gilgal. And there they immolated victims of peace, before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
