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 Nahash the Ammonite comes up, and encamps against Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we 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.
And Nahash the Ammonite says to them, “For this I cut [a covenant] with you, in picking out every right eye of yours—and I have set it [for] a reproach on all 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] elderly of Jabesh say to him, “Leave us alone [for] seven days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and if there is none saving us—then we have 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 come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up their voice and weep;
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 has come out of the field after the herd, and Saul says, “What [is that] to the people, that they weep?” And they recount the words of the men of Jabesh to him.
6 Ie nahajanjiñe i entañe zay t’i Saole le nentoe’ ty Arofon’ Añahare, vaho nisolebotse ty haviñera’e.
And the Spirit of God prospers over Saul, in his hearing these words, and his anger burns greatly,
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 takes a couple of oxen, and cuts them in pieces, and sends [them] through all the border of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, “He who is not coming out after Saul and after Samuel—thus it is done to his oxen”; and the fear of YHWH falls on the people, and they come out as one man.
8 Niahe’e e Betseke ao: telo hetse ty ana’ Israele vaho telo-ale o nte-Iehodao.
And he inspects them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty 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 they say to the messengers who are coming, “Thus you say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: Tomorrow you have safety—by the heat of the sun”; and the messengers come and declare [it] to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice;
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 Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], “Tomorrow we come out to you, and you have done to us according to all that [is] good in your eyes.”
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 comes to pass, on the next day, that Saul puts the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst of the camp in the morning-watch, and strike Ammon until the heat of the day; and it comes to pass that those left are scattered, and there have not been left two of them 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 say to Samuel, “Who is he that says, Saul reigns over us? Give up the men, and we 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 says, “There is no man put to death on this day, for today YHWH has worked salvation in Israel.”
14 Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ondatio, Antao homb’ e Gilgale mb’eo hamentesan-tika ty fifeheañe.
And Samuel says to the people, “Come and we go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there”;
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 go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign there before YHWH in Gilgal, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings there before YHWH, and Saul rejoices there—and all the men of Israel—very greatly.
