1 Samuel 13
1 Saulu sì jẹ́ ọmọ ọgbọ̀n ọdún nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní ọdún méjìlélógójì.
Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,
2 Saulu yan ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta ọkùnrin ní Israẹli, ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní Mikmasi àti ní ìlú òkè Beteli ẹgbẹ̀rún kan sì wà lọ́dọ̀ Jonatani ní Gibeah ti Benjamini. Àwọn ọkùnrin tókù ni ó rán padà sí ilé e wọn.
that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.
3 Jonatani sì kọlu ẹgbẹ́ ogun àwọn Filistini ní Gibeah, Filistini sì gbọ́ èyí. Nígbà náà ni Saulu fọn ìpè yí gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà ká, ó sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn Heberu gbọ́!”
Now Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was at Gibeah, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."
4 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo Israẹli sì gbọ́ ìròyìn pé, “Saulu ti kọlu ẹgbẹ́ ogun àwọn Filistini, Israẹli sì di òórùn búburú fún àwọn Filistini.” Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì péjọ láti darapọ̀ mọ́ Saulu ní Gilgali.
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines. So the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
5 Àwọn Filistini kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ láti bá Israẹli jà, pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta kẹ̀kẹ́, ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́fà ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin, àwọn ológun sì pọ̀ bí yanrìn etí Òkun. Wọ́n sì gòkè lọ, wọ́n dó ní Mikmasi ní ìhà ilẹ̀ oòrùn Beti-Afeni.
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
6 Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì rí i pé àwọn wà nínú ìpọ́njú àti pé àwọn ológun wọn wà nínú ìhámọ́, wọ́n fi ara pamọ́ nínú ihò àti nínú igbó láàrín àpáta, nínú ọ̀fìn, àti nínú kànga gbígbẹ.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were in a difficult situation), then the people hid themselves in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
7 Àwọn Heberu mìíràn tilẹ̀ kọjá a Jordani sí ilẹ̀ Gadi àti Gileadi. Saulu wà ní Gilgali síbẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ sì ń wárìrì fún ìbẹ̀rù.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the 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 Ó sì dúró di ọjọ́ méje, àkókò tí Samuẹli dá; ṣùgbọ́n Samuẹli kò wá sí Gilgali, àwọn ènìyàn Saulu sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní túká.
And he stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon him.
9 Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ìrẹ́pọ̀ wá fún mi.” Saulu sì rú ẹbọ sísun náà.
Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
10 Bí ó sì ti ń parí rírú ẹbọ sísun náà, Samuẹli sì dé, Saulu sì jáde láti lọ kí i.
It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11 Samuẹli sì wí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ṣe yìí.” Saulu sì dáhùn pé, “Nígbà tí mo rí pé àwọn ènìyàn náà ń túká, àti tí ìwọ kò sì wá ní àkókò ọjọ́ tí ìwọ dá, tí àwọn Filistini sì kó ara wọ́n jọ ní Mikmasi,
Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
12 mo rò pé, ‘Àwọn Filistini yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ mí wá ní Gilgali nísinsin yìí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò ì tí ì wá ojúrere Olúwa.’ Báyìí ni mo mú ara mi ní ipá láti rú ẹbọ sísun náà.”
therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of Jehovah.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering."
13 Samuẹli sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ hu ìwà aṣiwèrè, ìwọ kò sì pa òfin tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fi fún ọ mọ́; bí o kò bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, òun ìbá fi ìdí ìjọba rẹ kalẹ̀ lórí Israẹli láéláé.
Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you; for now Jehovah would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìjọba rẹ kì yóò dúró pẹ́, Olúwa ti wá ọkùnrin tí ó wù ú ní ọkàn rẹ̀ fún ara rẹ̀, ó sì ti yàn án láti ṣe olórí fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, nítorí pé ìwọ kò pa òfin Olúwa mọ́.”
But now your kingdom shall not continue. Jehovah has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Jehovah commanded you."
15 Nígbà náà ni Samuẹli kúrò ní Gilgali, ó sì gòkè lọ sí Gibeah ti Benjamini, Saulu sì ka àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀ta.
And Samuel arose and departed from Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn dúró ní Gibeah ti Benjamini, nígbà tí àwọn Filistini dó ní Mikmasi.
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.
17 Ẹgbẹ́ àwọn onísùmọ̀mí mẹ́ta jáde lọ ní àgọ́ àwọn Filistini ní ọnà ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀. Ẹgbẹ́ kan gba ọ̀nà ti Ofira ní agbègbè ìlú Ṣuali,
The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18 òmíràn gba ọ̀nà Beti-Horoni, ẹ̀kẹta sí ìhà ibodè tí ó kọjú sí àfonífojì Seboimu tí ó kọjú sí ijù.
and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
19 A kò sì rí alágbẹ̀dẹ kan ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Israẹli, nítorí tí àwọn Filistini wí pé, “Bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ àwọn Heberu yóò rọ idà tàbí ọ̀kọ̀!”
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."
20 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo Israẹli tọ àwọn Filistini lọ láti pọ́n dòjé wọn, ọ̀kọ̀, àáké àti ọ̀ṣọ́ wọn.
But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
21 Iye tí wọ́n fi pọ́n dòjé àti ọ̀kọ̀ jẹ́ ọwọ́ méjì nínú ìdámẹ́ta ṣékélì, àti ìdámẹ́ta ṣékélì fún pípọ́n òòyà-irin tí ilẹ̀, àáké àti irin ọ̀pá olùṣọ́ màlúù.
and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads.
22 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọjọ́ ìjà ẹnìkankan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú Saulu àti Jonatani kò sì ní idà, tàbí ọ̀kọ̀ ní ọwọ́; àfi Saulu àti ọmọ rẹ̀ Jonatani ni wọ́n ni wọ́n.
So on the day of the battle of Michmash there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
23 Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ogun Filistini sì ti jáde lọ sí ìkọjá Mikmasi.
The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
