1 Samoela 13
1 Nifehe rai-taoñe t’i Saole, aa ie nifehe Israele roe taoñe,
Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel.
2 le jinobo’ i Saole ty lahilahy telo arivo boake Israele ao. Nindre amy Saole e Mikmase naho ambohibohi’ i Betele ty ro’arivo, naho nindre am’ Ionatane e Gibeate-Beniamine ty arivo; songa nirahe’e mb’ an-kiboho’e añe ze ondaty sisa.
And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 Pinao’ Ionatane amy zao ty mpirai-lian-dahin-defoñe e Geba; le jinanji’ o nte Pilistio. Aa le pinopò’ i Saole amy tane iabiy i antsivay nanao ty hoe: mijanjiña ry nte-Evre.
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
4 Aa le jinanji’ Israele iaby te zinevo’ i Saole i mpirai-lian-te-Pilistiy, naho te mitrotròtse amo nte-Pilistio t’Israele. Aa le nifanontoñe amy Saole e Gilgale añe ondatio.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Nifamory ka o nte-Pilistio hialy amy Israele, sarete telo-ale naho mpiningi-tsoavala eneñ’ arivo naho ondaty mira amo faseñe añ’ olon-driakeo ty hamaro’e ro nionjom-beo nitobe e Mikmase atiñana’ i Bete-Avene ey.
And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
6 Nioni’ o ana’ Israeleo te niampoheke—toe nalovilovy ondatio—sata’ ondatio ty nietak’ an-dakato, an-drongoñe, am-bato, an-kadaha, vaho an-koboñe ao.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
7 Nitsake Iordaney ka ty ila’ o nte Evreo mb’an-tane Gade e Gilgale añe; fe mbe te Gilgale t’i Saole, vaho nititititike iaby o mpiama’eo.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 Nihenekenek’ ao fito andro re ty amy namantaña’ i Samoeley; fe tsy niavy e Gilgale t’i Samoele; le nihabaratsiak’ ama’e ondatio.
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had [appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
9 Aa hoe t’i Saole: Endeso mb’amako mb’etoa i enga hisoroñañey naho o engam-panintsiñañeo; vaho nisoroña’e o engan-koroañeo.
And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
10 Aa ie vaho nihenefe’e soroñe i engan-koroañe rey, hehe te pok’eo t’i Samoele; naho nimb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Saole hifanalaka ama’e hañontane aze.
And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11 Le hoe t’i Samoele: Ino o nanoe’oo? le hoe t’i Saole: Ie nitreako te niparaitak’ amako ondatio naho tsy niheo mb’eo irehe amy nifotoañañey, naho te mifanontoñe haname i Mikmase o nte-Pilistio,
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
12 le nataoko ty hoe: Hiambotrak’ amako e Gilgale amy zao o nte-Pilistio vaho mb’e tsy nihalaliako ìsoke am’Iehovà; aa le nanji-batan-draho nañenga i soroñey.
therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
13 Aa hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole: Nanao hadagolàñe; tsy nambena’o ty lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, i nandilia’e azoy; ie ho najado’ Iehovà ho nainai’e donia i fifehea’o Israeley.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
14 Fe tsy hijadoñe i fifehea’oy; fa nitsoeke ondaty mindre arofo ama’e t’Iehovà vaho fa tinendre’ Iehovà ho mpifehe ondati’eo, amy te tsy nambena’o i nandilia’ Iehovà azoy.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
15 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Samoele, nionjo boake Gilgale mb’e Gibeate-Beniamine. Niahe’ i Saole ondaty ama’eo te ni-enen-jato varañe.
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 le nañialo e Gibeate-Beniamine t’i Saole naho Ionatane ana’ey naho ondaty ama’eo; vaho nitobe e Mikmase ka o nte-Pilistio.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 Niakatse an-tobe’ o nte-Pilistio amy zao ty mpijoy am-pirimboña’e telo: ty mpirai-lia’e raike nitsile mb’amy lala-migodañe mb’e Ofrà, mb’an-tane’ i Soale mb’eo;
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
18 nitolike mb’ amy Bete-korone ka ty mpirai-lia’e raike; vaho nitolike mb’añ’ efe-tane ahatalakesañe ty vava-tane Zeboime mb’ am-patram-bey mb’eo ty mpirai-lia’e raike.
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 Ie amy zao, tsy amam-panefe ndra raike ty an-tane Israele ao; ami’ty nanoe’ o nte-Pilistio ty hoe: Hera hanefe fibara ndra lefoñe o nte-Evreo,
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
20 fa nizotso mb’amo nte-Pilisty iabio ze hene ana’ Israele hanioñe ty lelan-dasarý naho ty fangaly, naho ty fekoñe, vaho ty fibìra.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
21 Nitake roe-ampaha-telo’ ty sekele hanañira’e ty lelan-dasarý ndra ty fitrabahan-tane; naho ty ampaha-telo’e ho a o fekoñeo; vaho ho ami’ty fanañiran-kitro.
yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
22 Aa ie amy andron-kotakotakey, leo fibara ndra lefoñe raike tsy nizoeñe am-pità’ o mpiamy Saole naho Ionataneo; naho tsy i nizoeñe amy Saole naho Ionataney avao.
So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
23 Aa le nionjomb’ an-kebam-bohi’ i Mikmase mb’eo ty raik’ amo mpirai-lia’ o nte-Pilistioo.
And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.
