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 thirty years old when he began to reign; when he had reigned forty years 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.
he chose three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with him in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the soldiers he sent home, each man to his tent.
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!”
Jonathan defeated the garrison of the Philistines that was at Geba and the Philistines heard of it. Then 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 defeated the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become a rotten smell to the Philistines. Then the soldiers were summoned together 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 gathered together to fight against Israel, with three thousand chariots, six thousand men to drive the chariots, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They came up and encamped at Michmash, east 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 distressed, the people hid in caves, in the underbrush, in rocks, in wells, and in pits.
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.
Some of the Hebrews went over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. But Saul was still at 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.
He waited seven days, the time Samuel had set. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from Saul.
9 Saulu sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ìrẹ́pọ̀ wá fún mi.” Saulu sì rú ẹbọ sísun náà.
Saul said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” Then 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.
As soon as he finished offering the burnt offering Samuel arrived. Saul went out to meet him and to 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,
Then Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul replied, “When I saw that the people were leaving me, and that you did not come within the set time, and that the Philistines had assembled 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.”
I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favor of Yahweh.' So I forced myself to offer 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.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the command of Yahweh your God that he gave you. For then Yahweh would have established your rule over 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 rule will not continue. Yahweh has sought out a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not obeyed what he 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.
Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Then 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, his son Jonathan, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin. But the Philistines camped at 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,
Raiders came from the camp of the Philistines in three groups. One group turned toward 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.
Another group turned toward Beth Horon, and another group turned toward the border that overlooks the Valley of Zeboyim toward the wilderness.
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!”
No blacksmith could be found throughout all of Israel, because the Philistines said, “Otherwise the Hebrews would make swords or spears for themselves.”
20 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo Israẹli tọ àwọn Filistini lọ láti pọ́n dòjé wọn, ọ̀kọ̀, àáké àti ọ̀ṣọ́ wọn.
But all the men of Israel used to go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plow points, his mattock, his ax, and his 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.
The charge was two-thirds of a shekel for the plow points, and the mattocks, and one-third of a shekel for sharpening axes and for straightening 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 battle, there were no swords or spears found in the hands of any of the soldiers who were with Saul and Jonathan; only 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.
