1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Saul el yac ... matu ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum fin mwet Israel ke lusen yac ... ac luo.
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Saul el sulela tolu tausin mwet Israel, ac el sruokya luo tausin selos in muta yorol in acn Michmash ac infulan eol Bethel, na el supwalla Jonathan, wen natul, ac sie tausin selos nu Gibeah, siti se in facl sin sruf lal Benjamin. Mwet nukewa lula el supwalik nu acn selos.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Jonathan el uniya captain lun mwet Philistia in acn Geba, ac mwet Philistia nukewa elos lohngak. Na Saul el supwalik mwet utuk kas tuh elos in som ac ukya mwe ukuk in facl sac nufon in pangoneni mwet Hebrew nu ke mweun.
4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Fwackyuk nu sin mwet Israel nukewa lah Saul el uniya captain lun mwet Philistia, ac mwet Philistia elos arulana kwaselos. Ke ma inge, mwet Israel elos insesela in som osun nu sel Saul in acn Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
Mwet Philistia elos toeni nu sie in mweun lain mwet Israel. Oasr chariot in mweun tolngoul tausin natulos, ac onkosr tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac pisen mwet mweun lalos pus oana puk weacn uh. Elos utyak nu Michmash, kutulap in acn Bethaven, ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos we.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
Na elos oru mweun na upa se lain mwet Israel. Ke mwet Israel elos arulana fosrnga, kutu selos wikla in luf srisrik ac luf lulap pe eol uh, ac inmasrlon eot lulap, ac in laf, ac luin luf in kof.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Ac kutu selos kaing sasla Infacl Jordan nu in acn Gad ac Gilead. Saul el srakna muta Gilgal, ac mwet su welul elos sangeng ac rarrar.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had [appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Saul el muta soanel Samuel ke len itkosr in oana ma Samuel el tuh sapkin, tusruktu Samuel el soenna tuku nu Gilgal. Na mwet su welul Saul inge mutawauk in fahsrelik.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
Na Saul el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Use mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo.” Na el kisakin mwe kisa firir.
10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
Ke el tufahna tari, Samuel el tuku. Saul el illa in osun nu sel ac paingul.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Mea se kom oru an?” Ac Saul el topuk, “Mwet uh mutawauk som likiyu, ac kom tia tuku ke pacl se kom tuh fahk ah. Sayen ma sacn, mwet Philistia elos toeni tari nu Michmash.
12 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
Nga sifacna nunku tuh mwet Philistia elos ac tuku lainyu inge in Gilgal, ac nga soenna srike in siyuk tuh LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoyeyu. Na pa nga nunku mu nga enenu na in oru sie mwe kisa.”
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Ac Samuel el fahk, “Ma na lalfon se pa kom oru an. Kom tiana akos ma LEUM GOD lom El sapkin nu sum. Kom funu akos, El lukun sot tuh kom ac fwil nutum in leum fin mwet Israel nwe tok.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
Tuh inge, kom ac fah tia tokosra paht. Ke sripen kom tia akos, LEUM GOD El ac fah suk sie mwet ma sun insial, ac oru tuh elan leum fin mwet lal.”
15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
Ac Samuel el fahsr liki acn Gilgal ac som inkanek lal. Mwet lula nukewa welul Saul som in weang mwet mweun lal. Elos som liki acn Gilgal nu Gibeah in acn lun Benjamin. Saul el oek mwet lula lal inge tuh na oasr mwet onfoko ma.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Saul ac Jonathan, wen natul, ac mwet su welulos elos tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos in Geba in fahl Benjamin. Nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia oasr in Michmash.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
Mwet mweun lun mwet Philistia elos illa liki lohm nuknuk selos in u tolu, in oru mweun lukma lalos. Sie u ah som ke innek nu Ophrah, su oasr in facl Shual.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
Sie u ah som ke innek nu Beth Horon, ac sie u ah som nu fineol ma ngeti nu Infahlfal Zeboim ac yen mwesis uh.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
Wangin mwet orekma ke osra fin acn Israel nufon, mweyen mwet Philistia elos tiana lela mwet Hebrew in orek osra in fakfuk ku cutlass. (
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
Mwet Israel elos enenu na elos in som nu yurin mwet Philistia in tete mwe kulkul, mwe pukpuk, tuhla, ac mitmit in imom natulos.
21 yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
Molin tete tuhla ac mitmit pa ipin mani se. Molin tete mwe kulkul ac mwe pukpuk pa ipin mani luo.)
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
Ouinge, ke len in mweun lalos ah, wangin mwet Israel oasr osra in fakfuk ku cutlass natulos, sayal Saul ac Jonathan.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.
Mwet Philistia elos supwala un mwet mweun in karingin Innek in Utyak nu Michmash.
