1 Óh lheuehnyan na teuma Nahas, raja nanggroe Amon, jikrah laju tantra jih jijak keupong banda Yabesh di wilayah Gilead. Peunduduek Yabesh laju jiusui lagée nyoe ubak Nahas, "Neupeugét kheueh peujanjian deungon kamoe, deungon nyan kamoe teuma taklok ubak droeneueh."
2 Geujaweueb lé Nahas, "Deungon syarat nyoe kheueh ulôn keuneuk peugot peujanjian deungon gata, 'Mata blaih uneuen gata maséng-maséng teuma ulôn cungke sibagoe peuhinaan keu banmandum ureuëng Israel!' "
3 Óh lheueh nyan banmandum peumimpén banda Yabesh nyan jijaweueb, "Kamoe lakée teumpo nyang treb jih tujoh uroe mangat kamoe hase kamoe kirém utosan ubak bansaboh tanoh Israel. Meunyoe hana nyang jitem tulông kamoe, kamoe teuma meunyeurah ubak droeneueh."
4 Meunan kheueh bubena utosan nyan trok laju u Gibea, teumpat tinggai Saul. Bak watée awaknyan jipeusampoe haba nyan, jimoe kheueh bubena rakyat sabab putôh asa.
5 Bak watée nyan Saul banmantong teuka nibak blang gobnyan sira geutarek leumô geuh. Gobnyan pi geutanyong, "Peue na? Pakon banmandum ureuëng jimo?" Laju ubak gobnyan jipeugah keuhai haba nyang jiba nibak Yabesh nyan.
6 Ban geudeungoe nyan laju Saul jikuasa lé Roh Allah.
7 Deungon beungéh that-that gobnyan laju geucok dua boh leumô atranyan geukoh-koh sampoe kajai that nyang teukoh meutumpok-tumpok. Óh lheuehnyan sie nyang ka teukoh-koh nyan laju geukirém ubak banmandum tanoh Israel deungon peurintah gobnyan lagée nyoe, "Soe nyang hana jitem muprang jiseutôt Saul ngon Samuel, banmandum leumô-leumô jihnyan teuma teukoh-koh cit lagée asoe sie nyang teukirém nyoe!" Bansa Israel jitakot that ubak peue nyang mungken geupeusaneut lé TUHAN, teuma banmandum ureuëng, hana teukeucuali, ka siab jijak maju lam prang meusajan-sajan.
8 Awaknyan geugumpôi laju dan geu itong di Bezek: Na 300.000 droe ureuëng Israel, dan 30.000 droe ureuëng Yehuda.
9 Óh lheuehnyan ubak utosan Yabesh geupeugah lagéenyoe, "Gata peugah laju ubak peunduduek Yabesh, bahwa singoh beungoh sigohlom cot uroe, awaknyan jiteuka ureuëng jijak bantu." Bak watée peunduduek Yabesh jiteurimong peusan nyan, até awaknyan lumpah galak dan seunang that.
10 Jipeugah lé awaknyan ubak Nahas, "Singoh beungoh kamoe meunyeurah, dan jeuet neupeubuet ateueh kamoe bangalak até droeneueh."
11 Singoh nyan, banbeungoh that, Saul laju geubagi-bagi ureuëng gobnyan jeuet keu lhée boh pasokan. Dan bak watée mata uroe beungoh ka meuble-ble awaknyan laju jiseureubu u teungoh-teungoh khimah-khimah ureuëng Amon dan laju jiheuntam awaknyan bansalanle. Sigohlom trok watée cot uroe, tantra Saul ka jipeutaloe bubena musoh. Ureuëng-ureuëng Amon nyang meuhase jipeusiblaih droe, laju meucrebre sampoe hana nyang dua droe saboh arah awaknyan jiplueng meusaho-saho.
12 Óh lheuehnyan jitanyong kheueh lé bansa Israel ubak Samuel, "Dipat kheueh ureuëng nyang buno beuhe that jipeugah bahwa Saul hana layak jeuet keu raja geutanyoe? Heundak kheueh ureuëng nyang peugah nyan neuseurah ubak kamoe, mangat jihnyan kamoe poh maté."
13 Teuma geupeugah lé Saul, "Meusidroe ureuëng pi hana jeuet teupoh nibak uroenyoe, sabab nibak uroenyoe TUHAN ka geupeuseulamat bansa Israel."
14 Laju geupeugah kheueh lé Samuel ubak awaknyan, "Bohjak geutanyoe tajak banmandum u Gilgal dan tajak reseumi Saul sibagoe raja geutanyoe."
15 Meunan kheueh nibak uroenyan awaknyan jijak u Gilgal, dan di rumoh iébadat nyan Saul teureuseumi laju sibagoe raja. Awaknyan laju jipeuseumah keureubeuen peudamé, dan Saul dan banmandum bansa Israel geupeuna peuristiwa nyan.
