< I Samuel 13 >

1 [Tallo pulo] ti tawen ni Saul idi nangrugi isuna nga agturay; idi nagturay isuna iti [uppat a pulo] a tawen iti Israel,
Saul was — years old when he began to reign; and two years he reigned over Israel.
2 nangpili isuna iti tallo ribu a lallaki ti Israel. Dua ribu ti kaduana idiay Mikmas ken iti turod a pagilian ti Betel, idinto a sangaribu ti kadua ni Jonatan iti Gabaa idiay Benjamin. Pinagawidna dagiti nabatbati kadagiti soldado, tunggal maysa iti toldana.
And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmas and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeath-benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 Pinarmek ni Jonatan ti agbanbantay a buyot dagiti Filisteo nga adda idiay Geba ket nangngeg daytoy dagiti Filisteo. Ket pinaguni ni Saul ti tangguyob iti entero a daga, kunana, “Dumngeg koma dagiti Hebreo.”
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the horn throughout all the land, saying: 'Let the Hebrews hear.'
4 Nangngeg ti entero nga Israel a pinarmek ni Saul ti agbanbantay a buyot dagiti Filisteo, ken kasta met a nagbalin ti Israel a nabangsit kadagiti Filisteo. Ket napaayaban dagiti soldado tapno tumiponda kenni Saul idiay Gilgal.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also had made himself odious with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Naguummong dagiti Filisteo tapno makigubat iti Israel: Tallopulo a ribu a karwahe, innem a ribu a lallaki a mangiturturong kadagiti karwahe, ken adu a buybuyot a kas kadagiti darat iti igid ti baybay ti bilangda. Simmang-atda ken nagkampoda idiay Mikmas, a daya ti Bet-aben.
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 Michmas, eastward of Beth-aven.
6 Idi nakita dagiti lallaki ti Israel nga agpeggadda - ta mariribukan dagiti tattao, naglemmeng dagiti tattao kadagiti rukib, kadagiti kasiitan, kadagiti dadakkel a bato, kadagiti bubon, ken kadagiti abut.
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.
7 Dagiti dadduma kadagiti Hebreo ket napan iti Jordan nga agturong iti daga ti Gad ken Galaad. Ngem adda pay laeng ni Saul idiay Gilgal, ket agpigpigerger a simmurot kenkuana dagiti amin a tattao.
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 Naguray isuna iti pito nga aldaw, ti tiempo nga inkeddeng ni Samuel. Ngem saan a dimteng ni Samuel idiay Gilgal, ket nagwawara dagiti tattao manipud kenni Saul.
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.
9 Kinuna ni Saul, “Iyegyo kaniak ti daton a mapuoran ken dagiti daton a pakikappia.” Ket indatonna ti daton a mapuoran.
And Saul said: 'Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings.' And he offered the burnt-offering.
10 Apaman a nalpasna nga indaton ti daton a mapuoran, simmangpet ni Samuel. Rimmuar ni Saul tapno sabatenna ken kablaawanna isuna.
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.
11 Ket kinuna ni Samuel, “Ania ti inaramidmo?” Simmungbat ni Saul, “Idi nakitak a pagpapanawandak dagiti tattao, ken saanka a dimteng iti naikeddeng a tiempo, ken naguummong dagiti Filisteo idiay Mikmas,
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 against Michmas;
12 kinunak, 'Ita, sumalog dagiti Filisteo a maibusor kaniak idiay Gilgal, ket saanak pay nagkiddaw iti tulong ni Yahweh.' Isu nga impilitko nga idaton ti daton a mapuoran.”
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.'
13 Ket kinuna ni Samuel kenni Saul, “Nagtignayka a simamaag. Saanmo a sinalimetmetan ti bilin nga inted kenka ni Yahweh a Diosmo. Iti kasta pinatalged koma ni Yahweh ti panagturaymo iti Israel iti agnanayon.
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.
14 Ngem ita, saanto nga agtuloy ti panagturaymo. Nangbirok ni Yahweh iti tao a kas maiyannurot iti pusona, ket dinutokan isuna ni Yahweh nga agbalin a prinsipe kadagiti tattaona, gapu ta saanka a nagtulnog iti imbilinna kenka.”
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.'
15 Isu a nagrubbuat ni Samuel ket simmang-at idiay Geba iti Benjamin manipud Gilgal. Ket binilang ni Saul dagiti tattao nga adda sadiay a kaduana, agarup innem a gasut a lallaki.
And Samuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal unto Gibeath-benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Nagtalinaed ni Saul, ni Jonatan nga anakna, ken dagiti tattao nga adda sadiay a kaduada iti Geba idiay Benjamin. Ngem nagkampo dagiti Filisteo idiay Mikmas.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeath-benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmas.
17 Naggapu dagiti sumasamsam manipud iti kampo dagiti Filisteo iti tallo a bunggoy. Ti maysa a bunggoy ket nagturong iti Opra, iti daga ti Sual.
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;
18 Ti maysa met a bungoy ket nagturong iti Bet-horon, ken ti maysa pay a bunggoy ket nagturong iti beddeng a matannawagan ti tanap ti Zeboim nga agturong iti let-ang.
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.
19 Awan ti masarakan a pumapanday iti entero nga Israel, gapu ta kinuna dagiti Filisteo, “Amangan no mangaramid dagiti Hebreo kadagiti kampilan wenno gayangda.”
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said: 'Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears';
20 Ngem masansan a sumalog dagiti amin a lallaki ti Israel kadagiti Filisteo, tapno ipaasada ti tunggal sudsod ti aradoda, ti gabyunda, ti wasayda, ken ti kumpayda.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21 Ti bayad para kadagiti sudsod ti arado ken kadagiti gabyun ket mamindua iti apagkatlo iti maysa a siklo, ken ti para iti panangasa kadagiti wasay ken pananglinteg kadagiti pagkawit a sarukod ket apagkatlo iti maysa a siklo
And the price of the filing was a pim for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks with three teeth, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
22 Isu nga iti aldaw ti gubat, awan ti makita a kampilan wenno gayang kadagiti ima iti siasinoman kadagiti soldado a kadua ni Saul ken ni Jonatan: ni Saul ken ni Jonatan nga annakna laeng ti addaan kadagitoy.
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.
23 Adda kampo dagiti Filisteo iti dalan nga agturong iti Mikmas.
And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmas.
