1 Samweli 13
1 Sauli alikwa na umri wa miaka [thelathini] alipoanza kutawala; alipokuwa ametawala Israeli kwa miaka [arobaini],
Saul was a child of o yeer whanne he bigan to regne; forsothe he regnede on Israel twei yeer.
2 aliwachagua wanaume elfu tatu wa Israeli. Elfu mbili walikuwa pamoja naye huko Mikmashi na katika nchi ya milima ya Betheli, wakati huo wale elfu moja walikuwa pamoja na Yonathani katika Gibea ya Benyamini. Askari waliobaki aliwarudisha nyumbani, kila mtu hemani kwake.
And Saul chees to hym thre thousynde of Israel, and twei thousynde weren with Saul in Machynas, in the hil of Bethel; forsothe a thousynde weren with Jonathas in Gabaath of Beniamyn; sotheli he sente ayen the tother puple ech man in to `hise tabernaclis.
3 Yonathani akaishinda ngome ya jeshi la Wafilisti iliyokuwa Geba na Wafilisti wakasikia habari hiyo. Baadaye Sauli alipiga tarumbeta katika nchi yote, akisema, “Sikieni enyi Waebrania.”
And Jonathas smoot the stacioun of Filisteis, that was in Gabaa. And whanne Filisteis hadden herd this, Saul sownede with a clarioun in al the lond, and seide, Ebreys here.
4 Israeli yote imesikia kwamba Sauli ameipiga ngome ya Wafilisti, na pia kwamba Israeli imekuwa uvundo kwa Wafilisti. Ndipo askari wakaitwa kwa pamoja kuungana na Sauli huko Gilgali.
And al Israel herde siche a fame, Saul smoot the stacioun of Filisteis; and Israel reiside hym silf ayens Filisteis; therfor the puple criede after Saul in Galgala.
5 Wafilisti walijikusanya pamoja kupigana dhidi ya Waisraeli: magari elfu tatu, watu elfu sita wakuendesha magari, na majeshi mengi kama mchanga ufukoni mwa bahari. Wakapanda na kupiga kambi huko Mikimashi, mashariki mwa Beth aveni.
And Filisteis weren gaderid to fiyte ayens Israel; `of Filisteis weren thretti thousynde of charis, and sixe thousynde of knyytis, and the tother comyn puple, as grauel `which is ful myche in the brynke of the see; and thei stieden, and settiden tentis in Machynas, at the eest of Bethauen.
6 Watu wa Israeli walipoona kuwa wapo katika matatizo -kwa maana watu walikata tamaa, wakajificha kwenye mapango, kwenye vichaka, kwenye miamba, kwenye visima na katika mashimo.
And whanne men of Israel hadden seyn this, that thei weren set in streiytnesse, for the puple was turmentid, thei hidden hem silf in dennes, and in priuey places, and in stonys, and in dychis, and in cisternes.
7 Baadhi ya Waebrania walipanda kwenda Yordani katika nchi ya Gadi na Gileadi. Lakini Sauli alibaki Gilgali, na watu waliomfuata wakitetemeka.
Sotheli Ebreis passiden Jordan in to the lond of Gad and of Galaad. And whanne Saul was yit in Galgala, al the puple was aferd that suede hym.
8 Alisubiri kwa siku saba, muda uliopangwa na Samweli. Lakini Samweli hakufika huko Gilgali, na watu wakatawanyika mbali na Sauli.
And seuene daies he abood Samuel bi couenaunt, and Samuel cam not in to Galgala; and the puple yede a wei fro Saul.
9 Sauli akasema, “Nileteeni sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sdaka ya amani.” Kisha akatoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
Therfor Saul seide, Brynge ye to me brent sacrifice, and pesible sacrifices; and he offride brent sacrifice.
10 Mara tu alipomaliza kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa Samweli akawasili. Sauli akatoka nje wakutane na kumsalimia.
And whanne he hadde endid offrynge brent sacrifice, lo! Samuel cam; and Saul yede out ayens hym, to greete Samuel.
11 Basi Samweli akasema, “Umefanya nini?” Sauli akajibu, “Nilipoona kwamba watu wanaiacha, na kwamba umechelewa hukufika kwa muda uliopangwa, na kwamba Wafilisti wamekwisha jikusanya huko Mikmashi,
And Samuel spak to hym, What hast thou do? Saul answeride, For Y siy that the puple yede awei fro me, and thou camest not bi the daies of couenaunt; certis Filisteis weren gaderid in Machynas;
12 nikasema, 'Sasa Wafilisti watashuka dhidi yangu huko Gilgali, na sijaomba kibali cha BWANA.' Kwa hiyo nikajilazimisha mwenyewe kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa.”.
Y seide, Now Filisteis schulen come doun to me in to Galgala, and Y haue not plesyd the face of the Lord; Y was compellid bi nede, and Y offryde brent sacrifice to the Lord.
13 Ndipo Samweli akamwambia Sauli, “Umetenda mambo ya kipumbavu. Hukuheshimu amri ya BWANA Mungu wako aliyokupatia. Kwa maana BWANA angeutengeneza utawala wako juu ya Israeli milele.
And Samuel seide to Saul, Thou hast do folili, and thou `keptist not the heestis of thi Lord God, whiche he comaundide to thee; and if thou haddist not do this thing, riyt now the Lord hadde maad redi thi rewme on Israel with outen ende;
14 Lakini sasa utawala wako hautaendelea. BWANA ametafuta mtu anayekubaliwa na moyo wake, kwa sababu wewe hukutii alichokuamuru.”
but thi rewme schal not rise ferthere. The Lord hath souyt a man to hym silf after his herte; and the Lord comaundide to hym, that he schulde be duyk on his puple, for thou keptist not tho thingis whiche the Lord comaundide.
15 Ndipo Samweli akasimama akapanda kutoka Gilgali hadi Gibea ya Benyamini. Basi Sauli akawahesabu watu waliokuwapo pamoja naye, idadi yao ilikuwa kama watu mia sita.
Forsothe Samuel roos, and stiede fro Galgala in to Gabaa of Beniamyn; and the `residue puplis stieden after Saul ayens the puple which fouyten ayens hem; and thei camen fro Galgala in to Gabaa, in the hil of Beniamyn. And Saul noumbride the puple, that weren foundun with hym as sixe hundrid men.
16 Sauli, mtoto wake Yonathani, na watu waliokuwa pamoja nao, wakabaki Geba ya Benyamimni. Lakini Wafilisti wakapiga kambi huko Mikmashi.
And Saul, and Jonathas his sone, and the puple that was foundun with hem, was in Gabaa of Beniamyn; forsothe Filisteis saten togidere in Machynas.
17 Wateka nyara makundi matatu wakaja kutoka kambi ya Wafilisti. Kundi moja likapinda kuelekea Ofra, hadi nchi ya Shuali.
And thre cumpanyes yeden out of the `castels of Filisteis to take prey; o cumpany yede ayens the weie of Effraym to the lond of Saul;
18 Kundi jingine likageuka kuelekea Bethholoni, na kundi jingine likaelekea katika mpaka kulikabili bonde la Seboimu kuelekea jangwani.
sothely an other cumpeny entride bi the weie of Bethoron; forsothe the thridde cumpenye turnede it silf to the weie of the terme in the lond of Sabaa; and that terme neiyeth to the valey of Seboym ayens the deseert.
19 Hakuna hata mhunzi aliyeonekana katika nchi yote ya Israeli, kwa sababu Wafilisti walisema, “Waebrania wasije wakajitengenezea mapanga au mikuki.”
Forsothe `no smyyth of yrun was foundun in al the lond of Israel; for Filisteis `weren war, ether eschewiden, lest perauenture Ebreis maden a swerd ether a spere.
20 Lakini Waisraeli wote huwa wakiteremka kwa Wafilisti, kila mtu kunoa jembe lake, sululu yake, shoka lake na mundu wake.
Therfor al Israel yede doun to Filisteis, that ech man schulde scharpe his schar, and picoise, and ax, `and sarpe;
21 Gharama za kunoa ncha za majembe, sululu, mashoka na kunyoosha michokoo ilikuwa theluthi moja ya shekeli.
`and so alle egis weren bluntid `of scharris, and of picoisis, and of `forkis of thre teeth, and of axis, `til to a pricke to be amendid.
22 Hivyo siku ya vita, hakukuwa na mapanga au mikuki iliyoonekana katika mikono yoyote ya askali waliokuwa na Sauli na Yonathani; Ni Sauli na mtoto wake tu ndio walikuwa nazo.
And whanne the dai of batel cam, no swerd and spere was foundun in the hond of al the puple that was with Saul and Jonathas, outakun Saul, and Jonathas his sone.
23 Vikosi vya Wafilisti wakatokeza katika nija ya Mikmashi.
Forsothe the stacioun of Filisteis yede out, that it schulde passe in to Machynas.
