1 Şamuelin 13
1 Şaul paççah ıxhamee, mang'uqa xhebts'al senniy vod. Mana yoq'ts'ale q'olle senna İzrailyna paççah ıxha.
Saul was no longer a young man when he became the king. He ruled Israel for 42 years.
2 Şaulee cune g'oşunbışeeqa xhebıd aazır İzrailyğançena g'əyxə. Manbışda q'öd aazır insan cukasana Mikmas eyhene şahareeyiy Bet-Elyne tepabışee vooxhe. Aazır insanmee cune duxayka, Yonatanıka, Benyaminna nasıl vooxhene Givea eyhene şaharee vooxhe. Mansa axuyn milletmee Şaulee cone xaybışeeqa yəqqı'l ha'a.
[Several years after he became king], he chose three thousand men from the Israeli army to go with him [to fight the Philistines]. Then he sent the other soldiers back home. Of the men he chose, 2,000 stayed with Saul at Micmash and in the hilly area near Bethel, and 1,000 stayed with [Saul’s son] Jonathan at Gibeah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin lived.
3 Yonatanee Giveayeene Filiştinaaşde zastaaveebın eskerar gyabat'a, manıd Filiştinaaşik'le ats'axhxhen. Şauleeme: «Cühüt'yaaşik'le g'ayxhecenva!» uvhu, ölkavolle şeypur hook'as ulyookka.
Jonathan [and the men who were with him] attacked the Philistine soldiers who were camped at Geba. The [other] Philistines heard about that. [So Saul realized that the army of Philistia would probably come to fight the Israelis again]. So Saul [sent messengers to] blow trumpets throughout Israel [to gather the people together and] proclaim to them, “All you Hebrews need to hear [that now the Philistines will start a war with us]!”
4 İzrailybışde gırgıng'uk'le Şaulee, Filiştinaaşde zastaveebın eskerar gyapt'ıyıd, Filiştinaaşik'le İzrailybı g'umooce qeepxhayıd g'ayxhiyn. Millet Şaulne hiqiy-alla salecenva Gilgaleeqa qoyt'al.
The messengers told the rest of the army to gather together with Saul at Gilgal. And all the people in Israel heard the news. People were saying, “Saul’s army has attacked the Philistine camp, with the result that now the Philistines hate us Israelis very much.”
5 Filiştinarıb İzrailybışika səvxəsva savayle. Manbışe xhebts'al aazır dəv'əyn daşk'a, yixhıd aazırır balkanılyna sa'a. Manbışda g'oşun deryahne mıglekna g'um xhinne geeb vuxha. Manbı apk'ın Bet-Aven eyhene şaharne şargıl Mikmasee çadırbı giyxə.
The Philistines gathered together and were given equipment to fight the Israelis. The Philistines had 3,000 chariots, and 6,000 chariot-drivers. Their soldiers [seemed to be as many] as grains of sand on the seashore [HYP]. They went up and set up their tents at Micmash, to the east of Beth-Aven ([which means ‘house of wickedness’, and really referred to Bethel town]).
6 İzrailybışik'le cok ixhesın g'acumee, co ooşaa'a g'avcumee, manbı mağarabışee, axtıne ok'bışee, suvabışee, k'oralybışee, kahrızbışee dyuguleebaxhenbı.
The Philistines attacked the Israelis very strongly, and the Israeli soldiers realized that they were in a very bad situation. So many of the Israeli soldiers hid in caves and holes in the ground, or among the rocks, or in pits, or in wells.
7 Manbışiken sabarabı İordanne damayne şene aqvalqa Qadne nasıleneyiy Gileadne cigabışeeqa ılğeebaç'e. Şaul vuc Gilgalee axva, cukane milletınıd qəpq'ı'niyvalin yik'bı qoda eyxhe.
Some of them crossed the Jordan River at a place where it was very shallow. Then they went to the area where the descendants of Gad lived and to [the] Gilead [region]. But Saul stayed at Gilgal. All the soldiers who were with him were shaking [because they were so afraid].
8 Şaulee, Şamuelee uvhuyn xhinne yighılle yiğna gozet ha'an. Mane gahıl Şamuel Gilgalqa arayle deş. Şaulne hiqiy-alla sabıyn insanar heebaxa giviyğal.
Saul waited seven days, which was the number of days that Samuel had told him to wait for him. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal [during that time], so many of the men in Saul’s army began to leave him and run away.
9 Şaulee eyhen: – Gyoxhxhan ha'asıniy medın q'urbanbı zasqa qale. Mang'vee vuceecab gyooxhan haa'ana q'urban ablyaa'a.
So Saul said to the soldiers, “Bring to me an animal to be completely burned [on the altar] and one for the offering to enable us to maintain fellowship [with God].” [So the men did that].
10 Gyooxhan haa'ana q'urban ablyav'u ç'əveepxhamee, Şamuel qarı hiyxhar. Şaul salam hevlesva mang'une ögilqa qığeç'e.
And just as he was finished burning those offerings, Samuel arrived. Saul went to greet him.
11 Şamuelee eyhen: – Ğu in hı'iyn kar hucoone? Şaulee mang'us cuvab qele: – Zak'le g'acuyn yizde hıqiy-alladın millet hexva vod, ğunar ğu eyhene yiğıl arı hirxhıl deş, Filiştinarıb Mikmasqa vob sabı.
Samuel [saw what Saul had done, and he] said to Saul, “Why have you done this?” Saul replied, “I saw that my men were leaving me and running away, and that you did not come here during the time that you said that you would come, and that the Philistine army was gathering together at Micmash.
12 Zı zaled-alqa uvhuyn: «Həşde xhinnee Filiştinar Gilgalılqa zalqa k'yooharas, zımee Rəbbina xayir-düə alyapt'ı deş». Mançil-allar zıcar zı gyooxhan haa'ana q'urban ablyaa'as alikkı.
“So I thought, ‘The Philistine army is going to attack us here at Gilgal, and I have not yet asked Yahweh to bless/help us.’ So I felt it was necessary to offer the burnt offerings [to seek God’s blessings].”
13 Şamuelee Şauluk'le eyhen: – Ğu ək'el deşin kar hı'ı. Yiğne Allahne, Rəbbine, əmrılqa əməl hı'ı deş. Ğu məxüd hidi'iynxhiy, Rəbbee yiğna paççahiyvalla İzrailil oğa gırgıne gahbışis havaacesdaniy.
Samuel replied, “What you did was very foolish! You have not obeyed what Yahweh, your God, commanded [about sacrifices]. If you had obeyed him, God would have allowed you and your descendants to rule [Israel] for a long time.
14 Həşdemee yiğna paççahiyvalla xıliyba ts'ıts'uvxhes deş. Rəbbee Cus ıkkanna, Cune yik'es sik'ına insan t'abal hı'ı. Ğu Rəbbine əmrılqa əməl hidi'iynçil-alla, Rəbbee mana insan Cune milletna xərna gixhxhı.
But now [because of what you have done, you will die, and after you die, ] none of your descendants will rule. Yahweh is seeking for a man [to be king] who will be just the kind of person that he wants him to be, so that he can appoint him to be the leader of his people. Yahweh will do this because you have not obeyed what he commanded.”
15 Mançile qiyğa Şamuel Gilgaleençe qığeç'u, Benyaminaaşine Givea eyhene şahareeqa ılqeç'e. Şaulee cun insanar qəpq'ı'mee, yixhıd vəşilqa ələəna insan eyxhe.
Then Samuel left Gilgal and went up to Gibeah. Saul stayed at Gilgal with his soldiers. There were only about 600 of them left [who had not run away].
16 Şaulıy cuna dix Yonatan, cone insanaaşika Benyaminaaşine Givea eyhene şaharee ulyobzur vuxha. Filiştinarmee mane gahıl, Mikmasee çadırbı gı'xı', ulyobzur vuxha.
Saul and his son Jonathan and the soldiers who were with them went to Geba [city] in the area of the tribe of Benjamin [and set up their tents there]. The Philistine army set up their tents at Micmash.
17 Filiştinaaşin g'oşunbı xhebne cigeeqa bit'aleetxha hücum haa'asva qığeedaç'e. Manbışda sa deste Şualne cigabışeene Ofra eyhene şaharne suralqa siviyk'al.
Three groups of Philistia men soon left the place where their army was staying, and went and (raided the Israeli towns/attacked the Israelis and took their possessions). One group went [north] toward Ophrah [city] in [the] Shual [region].
18 Manasa desteb Bet-Xoronne yəqqı'lqa avayk'an. Xheyib'esda destemee Tsevoimne q'adaalilqa, sarhadılqa avayk'an. Maa sahraaniy vob.
One group went [west] to Beth-Horon [city]. The third group went toward the [Israeli] border, above Zeboim Valley, near the desert.
19 Filiştinaaşe uvhuynniy: «Hasre cühüt'yaaşe g'ılınciy nize hıma'acen». Mançil-allad İzrailee sa ixheyir yiva getas əxəna insan deşdaniy.
At that time, there were no men in Israel who (were blacksmiths/could make things from iron). [The people of Philistia would not permit the Israelis to do that, because they were afraid that] they would make iron swords and spears for the Hebrews to fight with.
20 Gırgın İzrailybı kyotanbı, toxabı, yak'vbı, ərabbı ek'a'asva Filiştinaaşde k'anyaqa abayle vuxha.
So [whenever the Israelis needed] to sharpen the blades of their plows, or picks, or axes, or sickles, they were forced to take those things to a Philistia man who could sharpen those things.
21 Manbışike kyotan, yaba, yak'v, rab, toxa ek'a'as sa pim nuk'raynaniy hooqqana.
They needed to pay (one fourth of an ounce/8 grams) of silver for sharpening a plow, and (an eighth of an ounce/4 grams) of silver to sharpen an axe, or a sickle, or (an ox goad/a pointed rod to jab an ox to make it walk).
22 Mançil-allad dəv'ənang'a Şaulneyiy Yonatanne milletıqa g'ılıncbıyiy nizebı ıxha deş. G'ılınciy nize saccu Şauluqayiy cune duxayqa Yonatanıqa ıxha.
So [because the Israelis could not make weapons from iron], on the day that the Israelis fought [against the men of Philistia], Saul and Jonathan were the only Israeli men who had swords. None of the others had a sword; [they had only bows and arrows].
23 Filiştinaaşda deste Mikmasısneene ı'lğəəne cigeeqa qavayle.
Before the battle started, some Philistia men went to (the pass/a narrow place between two cliffs) outside Micmash to guard it.
