1Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
1 Waato din cine no Nahas, Amon bora tun ka wongu nda Yabes-Jileyad. A na gata sinji i se. Yabes alborey kulu ne Nahas se: «Iri ma sappe, iri ga may ni se.»
2And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
2 Amma Nahas, Amon bora ne i se: «Woone boŋ no ay g'a ta araŋ se: ay m'araŋ kamba ŋwaari moy kulu looti, ay mo ya naŋ woodin ma ciya wowi hari Israyla kulu se.»
3And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
3 Kala Yabes arkusey ne a se: «M'iri no jirbi iyye, zama iri ma diyayaŋ donton Israyla hirro kulu me. D'iri mana du faabako kulu, waato din gaa no iri ga fatta ka koy ni do.»
4Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
4 Waato din gaa no diyey din kaa Jibeya, Sawulu wano. I na sanney wo dede borey hangey ra. Jama kulu binde na ngey jindey sambu ka hẽ.
5And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
5 Sawulu binde go hawyaŋ banda ga kaa ka fun saajo ra. Sawulu ne: «Ifo no ka du borey kaŋ i goono ga hẽ?» I na sanno kaŋ Yabes borey kande dede Sawulu se.
6And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
6 Kaŋ Sawulu maa sanney din, kala Irikoy Biya kaa a boŋ da hin, a bine tunyaŋo koroŋ gumo mo.
7And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
7 A na haw hinka sambu _k'i wi|_ k'i dumbu-dumbu, ka diyayaŋ donton i ma koy Israyla hirrey kulu me. A ne: «Boro kulu kaŋ mana fatta ka Sawulu nda Samuwila gana, ya-cine no i ga te a hawey se.» Kala Rabbi humburkumay kaa jama kulu gaa hal i fatta danga day boro folloŋ no.
8And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
8 I n'i kabu Bezek ra. Israyla izey binde te boro zambar zangu hinza, Yahuda borey mo boro zambar waranza.
9And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
9 I ne diyey kaŋ yaŋ kaa se: «Ya-cine no ni ga ci Yabes-Jileyad borey se: ‹Suba hala wayna ga koroŋ, araŋ ga du faaba.› » Diyey mo ye ka kaa ka ci Yabes borey se, ngey mo farhã.
10Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
10 Yabes borey binde ne Nahas borey se: «Suba iri ga fatta ka kaa araŋ do, araŋ ma te iri se haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga ba kulu.»
11And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
11 Suba binde, kala Sawulu na borey fay jama hinza. I kaa gata bindi ra za nda hinay, mo boyaŋ jina. I na Amonancey kar kal a koy ka to wayna dungay. A ciya binde, borey kaŋ yaŋ cindi kar ka say-say, kal i si di baa boro hinka nangu folloŋ ra.
12And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
12 Kala jama ne Samuwila se: «Man bora kaŋ ne: ‹Sawulu no g'iri may?› I ma kande alborey din zama iri m'i wi.»
13And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
13 Amma a ne: «I si boro kulu wi zaari woone ra, zama hunkuna Rabbi no ka kande faaba Israyla se.»
14Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
14 Gaa no Samuwila ne jama se: «Wa kaa, iri ma koy Jilgal. Iri ma koytara tajandi noodin.»
15And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
15 Jama kulu binde koy Jilgal. Noodin no i na Sawulu didiji bonkooni Rabbi jine Jilgal ra. Noodin mo no i na saabuyaŋ sargayyaŋ no Rabbi jine. Sawulu nda Israyla alborey kulu farhã noodin mo gumo.
