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.
Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
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 said unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach upon 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 elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the borders of Israel: and then, if there be none to save us, we will come out to thee.
4 Nivotrake e Gibàn-tSaole ao o ìrakeo le nisaontsie’e an-dravembia’ondatio i entañe zay vaho fonga nipoñake ty rovetse ondatio.
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and spake these words in 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 following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
6 Ie nahajanjiñe i entañe zay t’i Saole le nentoe’ ty Arofon’ Añahare, vaho nisolebotse ty haviñera’e.
And the spirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled 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 took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
8 Niahe’e e Betseke ao: telo hetse ty ana’ Israele vaho telo-ale o nte-Iehodao.
And he numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were 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 said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have deliverance. And the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10 vaho hoe o nte-Iabeseo: Hamaray ty hiakara’ay mb’ ama’ areo vaho hanoe’ areo ama’ay ze satrin’ arofo’ areo.
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
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 was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left 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 unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may 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, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for today the LORD hath wrought deliverance in Israel.
14 Le hoe t’i Samoele am’ondatio, Antao homb’ e Gilgale mb’eo hamentesan-tika ty fifeheañe.
Then said Samuel to the people, Come and let us 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 went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
