1 USawuli waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu ubudala bakhe, njalo wabusa u-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amane lambili.
Saul el yac ... matu ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum fin mwet Israel ke lusen yac ... ac luo.
2 USawuli wakhetha abantu abazinkulungwane ezintathu ko-Israyeli; abazinkulungwane ezimbili babelaye eMikhimashi laselizweni lezintaba eleBhetheli, njalo abayinkulungwane babeloJonathani eGibhiya koBhenjamini. Bonke abasalayo wababuyisela emakhaya abo.

3 UJonathani wahlasela inkamba yamabutho amaFilistiya eGebha, njalo amaFilistiya akuzwa lokho. Lapho-ke uSawuli wathi kakukhaliswe icilongo kulolonke ilizwe wathi, “AmaHebheru kawezwe!”
Jonathan el uniya captain lun mwet Philistia in acn Geba, ac mwet Philistia nukewa elos lohngak. Na Saul el supwalik mwet utuk kas tuh elos in som ac ukya mwe ukuk in facl sac nufon in pangoneni mwet Hebrew nu ke mweun.
4 Ngakho u-Israyeli wonke wayizwa indaba yokuthi: “USawuli usehlasele inkamba yamabutho amaFilistiya, njalo u-Israyeli khathesi useyisinengiso kumaFilistiya.” Njalo abantu babizwa ukuba bayehlanganyela loSawuli eGiligali.
Fwackyuk nu sin mwet Israel nukewa lah Saul el uniya captain lun mwet Philistia, ac mwet Philistia elos arulana kwaselos. Ke ma inge, mwet Israel elos insesela in som osun nu sel Saul in acn Gilgal.
5 AmaFilistiya abuthana ukuthi alwe lo-Israyeli ngezinqola zempi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu, labatshayeli bazo abazinkulungwane eziyisithupha kanye lamabutho ayemanengi njengetshebetshebe ekhunjini lolwandle. Ahamba ayamisa eMikhimashi, empumalanga kweBhethi-Aveni.
Mwet Philistia elos toeni nu sie in mweun lain mwet Israel. Oasr chariot in mweun tolngoul tausin natulos, ac onkosr tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac pisen mwet mweun lalos pus oana puk weacn uh. Elos utyak nu Michmash, kutulap in acn Bethaven, ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos we.
6 Kwathi abantu bako-Israyeli bebona ukuthi umumo wabo wawusumubi lokuthi ibutho labo lalincindezelwe kanzima, bacatsha ezimbalwini lasemajukujukwini, laphakathi kwamadwala, emilindini lasemigodini.
Na elos oru mweun na upa se lain mwet Israel. Ke mwet Israel elos arulana fosrnga, kutu selos wikla in luf srisrik ac luf lulap pe eol uh, ac inmasrlon eot lulap, ac in laf, ac luin luf in kof.
7 Amanye amaHebheru aze achaphela elizweni lakoGadi kanye leGiliyadi. USawuli wasala eGiligali, njalo wonke amabutho ayelaye ayeqhuqha ngenxa yokwesaba.
Ac kutu selos kaing sasla Infacl Jordan nu in acn Gad ac Gilead. Saul el srakna muta Gilgal, ac mwet su welul elos sangeng ac rarrar.
8 Walinda insuku eziyisikhombisa, isikhathi esasimiswe nguSamuyeli; kodwa uSamuyeli kezanga eGiligali; yikho abantu bakaSawuli baqalisa ukuchitheka.
Saul el muta soanel Samuel ke len itkosr in oana ma Samuel el tuh sapkin, tusruktu Samuel el soenna tuku nu Gilgal. Na mwet su welul Saul inge mutawauk in fahsrelik.
9 Ngakho wathi, “Ngilethelani umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yobuzalwane.” USawuli wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Use mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo.” Na el kisakin mwe kisa firir.
10 Kwathi khonokho nje eqeda ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, uSamuyeli wafika, uSawuli waphuma wayambingelela.
Ke el tufahna tari, Samuel el tuku. Saul el illa in osun nu sel ac paingul.
11 USamuyeli wabuza wathi, “Kuyini osukwenzile na?” USawuli waphendula wathi, “Kuthe ngibona abantu sebechitheka, lokuthi kawufikanga ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, kanye lokuthi amaFilistiya abebuthana eMikhimashi,
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Mea se kom oru an?” Ac Saul el topuk, “Mwet uh mutawauk som likiyu, ac kom tia tuku ke pacl se kom tuh fahk ah. Sayen ma sacn, mwet Philistia elos toeni tari nu Michmash.
12 ngacabanga ngathi, ‘Khathesi amaFilistiya azakuzangihlasela eGiligali, njalo kangicelanga umusa kuThixo.’ Ngakho ngizwe ngincindezeleka ukuba nginikele umnikelo wokutshiswa.”
Nga sifacna nunku tuh mwet Philistia elos ac tuku lainyu inge in Gilgal, ac nga soenna srike in siyuk tuh LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoyeyu. Na pa nga nunku mu nga enenu na in oru sie mwe kisa.”
13 USamuyeli wathi, “Wenze ubuthutha. Kawuwugcinanga umlayo uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akupha wona; aluba ubukwenzile lokho, ubezamisa umbuso wakho phezu kuka-Israyeli kokuphela.
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Ma na lalfon se pa kom oru an. Kom tiana akos ma LEUM GOD lom El sapkin nu sum. Kom funu akos, El lukun sot tuh kom ac fwil nutum in leum fin mwet Israel nwe tok.
14 Kodwa umbuso wakho kawuyikuqhubeka; uThixo usedinge indoda emthandayo ngenhliziyo yakhe wambeka ukuba ngumbusi wabantu bakhe, ngoba wena kawuwugcinanga umlayo kaThixo.”
Tuh inge, kom ac fah tia tokosra paht. Ke sripen kom tia akos, LEUM GOD El ac fah suk sie mwet ma sun insial, ac oru tuh elan leum fin mwet lal.”
15 Emva kwalokho uSamuyeli wasuka eGiligali waya eGibhiya koBhenjamini, uSawuli wasebala abantu ababelaye. Babengaba ngamakhulu ayisithupha.
Ac Samuel el fahsr liki acn Gilgal ac som inkanek lal. Mwet lula nukewa welul Saul som in weang mwet mweun lal. Elos som liki acn Gilgal nu Gibeah in acn lun Benjamin. Saul el oek mwet lula lal inge tuh na oasr mwet onfoko ma.
16 USawuli lendodana yakhe uJonathani kanye labantu ayelabo babehlala eGibhiya koBhenjamini, amaFilistiya emise izihonqo eMikhimashi.
Saul ac Jonathan, wen natul, ac mwet su welulos elos tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos in Geba in fahl Benjamin. Nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia oasr in Michmash.
17 Amaqembu abahlaseli aphuma ezihonqweni zamaFilistiya ngezigaba ezintathu. Elinye laqonda e-Ofira eduze leShuwali,
Mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos illa liki lohm nuknuk selos in u tolu, in oru mweun lukma lalos. Sie u ah som ke innek nu Ophrah, su oasr in facl Shual.
18 elinye laqonda eBhethi-Horoni, kwathi elesithathu laqonda endaweni esemngceleni ngaphezu kweSigodi saseZebhoyimi malungana lenkangala.
Sie u ah som ke innek nu Beth Horon, ac sie u ah som nu fineol ma ngeti nu Infahlfal Zeboim ac yen mwesis uh.
19 Akulamkhandi wensimbi owayengatholakala kulolonke elako-Israyeli, ngoba amaFilistiya ayethe, “Mhlawumbe amaHebheru azakwenza izinkemba kumbe imikhonto.”
Wangin mwet orekma ke osra fin acn Israel nufon, mweyen mwet Philistia elos tiana lela mwet Hebrew in orek osra in fakfuk ku cutlass. (
20 Ngakho u-Israyeli wonke waya kumaFilistiya ukuyalola amakhuba akhe, lamamatoki, lamahloka kanye amasikela.
Mwet Israel elos enenu na elos in som nu yurin mwet Philistia in tete mwe kulkul, mwe pukpuk, tuhla, ac mitmit in imom natulos.
21 Imbadalo yokulolisa amakhuba lamamatoki yayingokubili kokuthathu kweshekeli, njalo ingokukodwa kokuthathu kweshekeli ukulola amafologwe lamahloka kanye lokucijisa izijujo.
Molin tete tuhla ac mitmit pa ipin mani se. Molin tete mwe kulkul ac mwe pukpuk pa ipin mani luo.)
22 Ngakho ngosuku lwempi akulabutho elaliloSawuli loJonathani elalilenkemba kumbe umkhonto esandleni salo; uSawuli loJonathani kuphela yibo ababelakho.
Ouinge, ke len in mweun lalos ah, wangin mwet Israel oasr osra in fakfuk ku cutlass natulos, sayal Saul ac Jonathan.
23 Ngalesisikhathi amaFilistiya ayesephume aya emkhandlwini waseMikhimashi.
Mwet Philistia elos supwala un mwet mweun in karingin Innek in Utyak nu Michmash.
