Ammoni Nahash te cet tih Jabesh Gilead te a rhaeh thil. Te vaengah Nahash taengah Jabesh hlang boeih loh, “Kaimih neh moi bop sih lamtah nang taengah ka thotat uh eh,” a ti nah.
2 Nanso Amonni Nahas buae se, “Eye, na ade baako pɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ mopene so. Ɛne sɛ, metu obiara ani nifa baako de agu Israel nyinaa anim ase.”
Tedae amih te Ammoni Nahash loh, “Nangmih taengah he he ka saii ni. Nangmih kah bantang mik te boeih aka koeih vetih Israel boeih soah kokhahnah ka khuen pah ni,” a ti nah.
3 Na Yabes mpanyin no buae se, “Ma yɛn nnanson, na yɛmfa nsoma abɔfo mfa Israel nyinaa, na sɛ yɛn abusuafo amma ammegye yɛn de a, yɛbɛpene wo nhyehyɛe no so.”
Te dongah anih te Jabesh a hamca rhoek loh, “Kaimih ham khohnin hnin rhih mah ham hmoel lamtah Israel khorhi tom ah puencawn ka tueih eh. Te vaengah kaimih he n'khang uh pawt atah nang taengla ka kun uh bitni,” a ti nah.
4 Abɔfo no beduu Gibea a ɛyɛ Saulo kurom, bɛkaa asɛm a ato wɔn no kyerɛɛ ɔmanfo maa wɔn nyinaa sui.
Te dongah puencawn rhoek loh Saul kah Gibeah a pha uh vaengah pilnam kah a hna ah ol a thui pa uh hatah pilnam pum loh a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh.
5 Saa bere no, na Saulo refuntum nʼafuw. Na ɔbaa fie no, obisae se, “Dɛn asɛm na asi? Adɛn nti na nusu abu obiara kɔn yi?” Enti wɔbɔɔ asɛm a efi Yabes aba no ho amanneɛ.
Te vaengah Saul tah lohma lamloh saelhung hnukah pakcak ha pawk. Te dongah Saul loh, “Pilnam he balae tih a rhah,” a ti nah hatah Jabesh hlang rhoek kah olka te a thui pa uh.
6 Onyankopɔn honhom besii Saulo so denneennen. Na ne bo fuw yiye.
Pathen Mueihla loh Saul soah a thaihtak sak tih te rhoek kah ol te a yaak a yaak vaengah a thintoek khaw muep sai.
7 Ɔfaa anantwi abien, twitwaa wɔn asinasin, na wɔmaa abɔfo no soa kyinii Israel nyinaa, kae se, “Obiara a wanni Saulo ne Samuel akyi ankɔ ɔko no, saa ara na ne nantwi bɛyɛ!” Na Awurade maa nnipa no suroo Saulo abufuw no. Enti wɔn nyinaa bɛboaa wɔn ho ano.
Te dongah vaito rhoi a loh tih a tloek. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek kut neh Israel khorhi tom ah a pat tih, “Saul hnuk neh Samuel hnukah aka mop pawt tah a vaito bangla a saii ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah loh pilnam a tlak thil tih hlang loh pakhat la ha pawk uh.
8 Bere a Saulo boaa wɔn ano wɔ Besek a ɔkan wɔn no, na Israel mmarima dodow yɛ mpem ahaasa na Yudafo nso dodow yɛ mpem aduasa.
Te vaengah Bezek kah rhoek te a soep hatah Israel ca thawng ya thum neh Judah hlang thawng sawmthum om uh.
9 Saulo somaa abɔfo no ma wɔsan wɔn akyi kɔɔ Yabes Gilead kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Enkosi ɔkyena awia owigyinae bere mu no, yebeyi mo afi mo ahokyere no mu.” Abɔfo no kɔka eyi kyerɛɛ Yabes mmarima no, wɔn ani gyei.
Te vaengah aka pawk puencawn rhoek te, “Jabesh hlang taengah he he thui pah. Thangvuen kho a ling, a ling vaengah loeihnah loh nangmih taengah om ni,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek te cet uh tih Jabesh hlang rhoek taengah a puen pa uh daengah a kohoe uh.
10 Na Yabes mmarima ka kyerɛɛ wɔn atamfo no se, “Ɔkyena yɛbɛba mo so, na nea mopɛ no, monyɛ yɛn.”
Te dongah Jabesh hlang rhoek loh, “Thangvuen ah nangmih taengla ka kun uh vetih na mik dongah then na ti bangla kaimih taengah boeih na saii thai,” a ti nah.
11 Nanso ansa na ade bɛkye no, na Saulo adu hɔ dedaw. Ɔkyekyɛɛ nʼakofo no mu akuw abiɛsa. Ɔtow hyɛɛ Amonfo no so mpofirim, kunkum wɔn anɔpa mu no nyinaa. Wɔn asraafo nkae no bɔ hwetee baabiara a obi mpo nhu sɛ wɔn mu baanu bi gyina faako.
A vuen ah pilnam te Saul loh hlop thum la a boel tih mincang khopo ah rhaehhmuen khui te a muk uh. Ammon te khosae duela a tloek uh. Te dongah aka sueng rhoek khaw taekyaak uh tih amih khuiah tun bok pataeng paih uh pawh.
12 Afei, nnipa no teɛɛ mu frɛɛ Samuel se, “Nnipa a wɔka se ɛnsɛ sɛ Saulo di yɛn so hene no wɔ he? Momfa wɔn mmra na yenkum wɔn.”
Te phoeiah pilnam loh Samuel taengah, “‘Saul he mamih soah manghai mai saeh a?’ aka ti te unim? Tekah hlang te nang khuen vetih ka duek sak uh mako,” a ti nah.
13 Nanso Saulo buae se, “Wɔrenkum obiara nnɛ, efisɛ, Awurade agye Israel nnɛ.”
Tedae Saul loh, “Tihnin ah BOEIPA loh Israel ham loeihnah han saii coeng dongah tekah hlang te tihnin ah duek boel saeh,” a ti nah.
14 Na Samuel ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Mommra na yɛn nyinaa nkɔ Gilgal nkosi Saulo ahenni no so dua.”
Te phoeiah pilnam te Samuel loh, “Halo uh lah, Gilgal la cet uh sih lamtah mangpa ke pahoi tlaih uh sih,” a ti nah.
15 Enti wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Gilgal, na wɔhyɛɛ Saulo ahenkyɛw wɔ Awurade anim. Na wɔbɔɔ asomdwoe afɔre maa Awurade, na Saulo ne Israelfo nyinaa gyee wɔn ani.
Te dongah pilnam pum loh Gilgal la cet uh tih Saul te Gilgal kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pahoi a manghai sak uh. Te vaengah rhoepnah hmueih te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pahoi a ngawn uh tih Saul neh Israel hlang boeih loh bahoeng a kohoe uh.
