1 Samoela 11
1 Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao t’i Nakase nte-Amone, nitobe am-piatrefañe Iabese-Gilade eo: le nanao ty hoe amy Nakase iaby o nte-Iabeseo: Mifañinà ama’ay vaho hitoroña’ay.
And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.
2 Le hoe t’i Nakase nte-Amone am’ iereo: Inao arè ty fepètse hanoeko ama’ areo, te songa hakatrake o fihaino’ areo ankavanao ho fañinjeañe am’ Israele iaby.
Naas the Ammanite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.
3 Le hoe o mpiaolo’ Iabeseo ama’e: Toloro fito androm-panintsiñan-jahay hañitrifa’ay mb’an-tane’ Israele iaby; ie amy zay naho tsy eo ty handrombak’ anay le hiakatse mb’ama’o mb’eo.
And the men of Jabis say to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.
4 Nivotrake e Gibàn-tSaole ao o ìrakeo le nisaontsie’e an-dravembia’ondatio i entañe zay vaho fonga nipoñake ty rovetse ondatio.
And the messengers came to Gabaa to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Nañorike mpirai-troke boak’ an-tetek’ ao t’i Saole, le hoe t’i Saole: Ino ty mañore ondatio t’ie mirovetse? Aa le nitalilia’ iareo ty saontsi’ o nte-Iabeseo.
And, behold, Saul came after the early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people week? and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.
6 Ie nahajanjiñe i entañe zay t’i Saole le nentoe’ ty Arofon’ Añahare, vaho nisolebotse ty haviñera’e.
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled against them.
7 Rinambe’e i katràka mpirai-joka rey, le linili-lili’e, naho nahitri’e mb’an-tane’ Israele mb’eo mb’eo am-pitàn’ ìrake, ami’ty hoe: Ze tsy mionjoñe mb’eo am-panonjohizañe i Saole naho am-pañorihañe i Samoele, le zao ka ty hanoañe o katràka’eo. Aa le nifetsak’ am’ondatio ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà, vaho niakatse mb’eo hoe ondaty raike.
And he took two cows, and cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.
8 Niahe’e e Betseke ao: telo hetse ty ana’ Israele vaho telo-ale o nte-Iehodao.
And he reviews them at Bezec in Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda seventy thousand.
9 Aa le hoe ty asa’ iareo amo ìrake nivotrakeo: Zao ty ho enta’ areo amo nte-Iabese-giladeo: hamaray aolo’ ty mafana-voho t’ie hitendreke rombake. Nibalike naho nitalily amo nte-Iabeseo o irakeo le niehake,
And he said to the messengers that came, Thus shall you say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow you shall have deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.
10 vaho hoe o nte-Iabeseo: Hamaray ty hiakara’ay mb’ ama’ areo vaho hanoe’ areo ama’ay ze satrin’ arofo’ areo.
And the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and you shall do to us what seems good in your sight.
11 Aa ie maraiñe, zinara’ i Saole an-dia-rai’e telo ondatio le nimoak’ an-tobe ao am-pijilovañe maraindraiñey vaho zinevo’ iereo o nte-Amoneo am-para’ te mafana-voho; niparaitake iaby ze nisisa kanao tsy nahaisahañe roe miharo lia.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they struck the children of Ammon until the day was hot; at it came to pass that those who were left were scattered, and there were not left among them two together.
12 Le hoe ondatio amy Samoele; Ia o nivolañe ty hoe: Hahafehe antika hao t’i Saoleo? Aseseo mb’atoa indaty rezay hañohofan-doza.
And the people said to Samuel, Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we will put them to death.
13 Fe hoe t’i Saole: Leo raik’ am’ondatio tsy havetrake te anito, fa nanao fandrombahañe e Israele ao t’Iehovà anindroany.
And Saul said, No man shall die this day, for today the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.
14 Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ondatio, Antao homb’ e Gilgale mb’eo hamentesan-tika ty fifeheañe.
And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.
15 Aa le niheo mb’e Gilgale mb’eo ondaty iabio naho nanoe’ iereo mpanjaka añatrefa’ Iehovà e Gilgale t’i Saole; le nisoroñe engam-panintsiñañe añatrefa’ Iehovà; vaho nandia taroba t’i Saole naho o ana’ Israele iabio.
And all the people went to Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
