1 Samwiri 11
1 Awo olwatuuka Nakkasi Omwamoni n’ayambuka n’azingiza Yabesugireyaadi. Abasajja bonna ab’e Yabesi ne bamugamba nti, “Kola naffe endagaano, tunaakuweerezanga.”
And it was don as aftir a monethe, Naas of Amon stiede, and bigan to fiyte ayens Jabes of Galaad. And alle the men of Jabes seiden to Naas, Haue thou vs boundun in pees, and we schulen serue thee.
2 Naye Nakkasi Omwamoni n’abaddamu nti, “Sijja kukola nammwe ndagaano okuggyako nga munzikirizza okuggya mu buli muntu, eriiso lye erya ddyo, olwo nswaze Isirayiri yenna.”
And Naas of Amon answeride to hem, In this Y schal smyte boond of pees with you, that Y putte out the riyt iyen of alle you, and that Y sette you schenschip in al Israel.
3 Abakulu ba Yabesi ne bamugamba nti, “Tuweeyo ebbanga lya nnaku musanvu, tusindike ababaka mu nsi yonna eya Isirayiri. Bwe wataabeewo n’omu anajja okutubeera, kale tuneewaayo gy’oli.”
And the eldere men of Jabes seiden to him, Graunte thou to vs seuene daies, that we senden messangeris to alle the termes of Israel; and if noon be that defende vs, we schulen go out to thee.
4 Ababaka bwe baatuuka e Gibea ewa Sawulo, ne bategeeza abantu ebigambo ebyo; bwe baabiwulira bonna ne bakuba ebiwoobe.
Therfor messangeris camen in to Gabaad of Saul, and spaken these wordis, `while the puple herde; and al the puple reiside her vois, and wepte.
5 Mu kiseera ekyo Sawulo yali ava mu nnimiro ng’agoberera ente ze ezirima, n’abuuza nti, “Abantu babadde ki? Kiki ekibakaabya?” Ne bamutegeeza obubaka abasajja ab’e Yabesi bwe baali baleese.
And lo! Saul cam, `and suede oxis fro the feeld; and he seide, What hath the puple, for it wepith? And thei telden to hym the wordis of men of Jabes.
6 Awo Sawulo bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo, Omwoyo wa Katonda n’amukkako mu maanyi, obusungu bwe ne bubuubuuka nnyo.
And the Spirit of the Lord skippide in to Saul, whanne he hadde herd these wordis, and his woodnesse was `wrooth greetli.
7 N’addira ente bbiri, n’azitemaatema, n’aziwa ababaka ne bazitwala okubuna ensi yonna eya Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Buli ataagoberere Sawulo ne Samwiri, ente ze ezirima bwe zityo bwe zinaakolebwa.” Entiisa ya Mukama n’egwa ku bantu, ne bakuŋŋaana wamu n’omutima gumu.
And he took euer either oxe, and kittide in to gobetis, and sente in to alle the termes of Israel, bi the hondis of messangeris; and seide, Who euer goith not out, and sueth not Saul and Samuel, so it schal be don to hise oxun. Therfor the drede of the Lord asailide the puple, and thei yeden out as o man.
8 Sawulo n’ababalira e Bezeki, abasajja abaava mu Isirayiri nga bawera emitwalo amakumi asatu, n’abaava mu Yuda ne bawera emitwalo esatu.
And he noumbride hem in Besech; and thre hundrid thousynd weren of the sones of Israel; forsothe of the men of Juda weren thretti thousynde.
9 Ne bagamba ababaka abaali bazze nti, “Mutegeeze abasajja ab’e Yabesugireyaadi nti, ‘Obudde we bunaatuukira mu ssaawa ez’omu ttuntu, munaaba mulokolebbwa.’” Ababaka bwe bazzaayo obubaka obwo e Yabesi, abatuuze baayo ne bassa ekikkowe.
And thei seiden to the messangeris that camen, Thus ye schulen seie to the men that ben in Jabes of Galaad, To morew schal be helthe to you, whanne the sunne is hoot. Therfor the messangeris camen, and telden to the men of Jabes; whiche weren glad,
10 Abatuuze ab’e Yabesi ne bagamba Abamoni nti, “Enkya tujja kwewaayo gye muli, mutukole kye mwagala.”
and seiden, Eerli we schulen go out to you, and ye schulen do to vs al that plesith you.
11 Enkeera Sawulo yakeera mu matulutulu n’ayawulamu abasajja be ebibinja bisatu; ne balumba olusiisira lw’Abamoni ne babatta okutuusa mu ssaawa ez’omu ttuntu. Abaaluwona ne basaasaana, ne wataba n’omu asigala na munne.
And it was don, whanne the morewe dai cam, Saul ordeynede the puple in to thre partis; and he entride in to the myddil tentis `in the wakyng of the morewtid, and he smoot Amon til the dai `was hoot; `forsothe the residues weren scaterid, so that tweyne togidere weren not left in hem.
12 Awo abantu ne bagamba Samwiri nti, “Ani eyali abuuza nti, ‘Sawulo alitufuga?’ Mubatuwe tubatte.”
And the puple seide to Samuel, Who is this, that seide, Saul schal not regne on vs? Yyue ye the men, and we schulen sle hem.
13 Naye Sawulo n’addamu nti, “Nedda, tewali muntu anattibwa leero, kubanga olwa leero Mukama alokodde Isirayiri.”
And Saul seide, No man schal be slayn in this dai, for to dai the Lord made helthe in Israel.
14 Awo Samwiri n’agamba abantu nti, “Mujje, tugende e Girugaali tukakase obwakabaka.”
Forsothe Samuel seide to the puple, Come ye, and go we in to Galgala, and renule we there the rewme.
15 Awo abantu bonna ne bagenda e Girugaali mu maaso ga Mukama ne bakakasa Sawulo okuba kabaka. Era mu kifo ekyo ne baweerayo ssaddaaka ez’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe mu maaso ga Mukama, Sawulo n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne basanyuka ne bajaguza nnyo ne bakola n’entujjo ey’amaanyi.
And al the puple yede in to Galgala, and there thei maden Saul kyng bifor the Lord `in Galgala; and thei offriden pesible sacrifices bifor the Lord. And Saul was glad there, and alle the men of Israel greetli.
