1 So one day Jonathan, Saul boy, tell da young guy dat carry his stuff fo fight, “Eh! We go ova dea an attack da Filisha army guys da odda side dis stream.” But Jonathan neva tell his faddah.

2 Dat time, Saul stay Migron town on da borda wit Gibeah, an make camp unda one pomagram tree. He get bout six hundred army guys ova dea wit him. 3 Ahijah stay wit dem too. His faddah was Ikabod braddah Ahitub, an his granfaddah was Finehas, Eli boy (dass da Eli guy dat befo time was Da One In Charge pries guy Shiloh town). Now, Ahijah, he da pries guy dat wear da spesho kine ves cuz he da Main Pries Guy.

No mo nobody know dat Jonathan wen go way from dea awready.

4 On da two sides a da pass wea Jonathan gotta go across fo attack da Filisha army guys, get one cliff. Da cliff one side a da pass get da name Bozez, an da cliff da odda side, Senneh. 5 You look in front you, from da north side cliff, get Mikmash down dea, an you look in front you, from da south side cliff, get Geba down dea.

6 Jonathan tell da young guy dat carry his stuff fo fight, “Go come, we go ova da pass by wea dose guys stay dat neva cut skin jalike God peopo. Maybe Da One In Charge go do someting fo help me an you. Da One In Charge goin win, no matta he get plenny guys o litto bit guys.”

7 His helpa guy tell um, “Do eryting you tink fo do. I stay tight wit you an ready fo go all out.”

8 Jonathan tell, “Kay den! We go ova dea nea da guys an let dem see us. 9 If dey tell us, ‘Okay, wait dea till we come by you guys,’ we goin stay wea we stay now, an no go up dea by dem. 10 But if dey tell, ‘Okay, come up hea by us guys,’ we goin go up, cuz dat goin be da sign dat show us dat Da One In Charge stay give dem to us guys.”

11 So da two a dem let da Filisha army guys see um. Da Filisha guys tell, “Eh! Look! Get Hebrew guys stay come outa da hole wea dey stay hide!” 12 Da Filisha army guys yell to Jonathan an his helpa guy, “Go come up hea by us guys! We like teach you guys someting!”

So Jonathan tell his helpa, “Go come up afta me. Da One In Charge give dem to us Israel guys awready!”

13 Jonathan use his hands an feets fo climb up, an his helpa guy climb right in back a him. Jonathan wack da Filisha guys an dey fall down in front him. Den his helpa guy come afta an kill um all. 14 Az was da firs time da Israel guys attack da Filisha guys. Jonathan an his helpa guy kill bout twenny Filisha guys inside one place bout one half acre big.

15 Den all da odda Filisha army guys come real sked an shaking—da guys inside da camp an on top da level groun inside da valley, da small kine camps outside da main camp, an da bunches a army guys dat go out fo fight. Den, da groun shake! God da One dat make dem come even mo sked.

16 Da watcha guys fo Saul, Gibeah side inside da Benjamin land, dey look, an ho! uku pile a Filisha guys, stay running aroun dis side an dat side, jalike dey donno wassup!

17 Den Saul tell da guys dat stay wit him, “Line up all oua guys fo me find out who no stay!” Wen dey make lidat, dey find out was Jonathan an his helpa guy dat no stay.

18 Saul tell Ahijah, “Bring da Box Fo No Foget Da Deal Wit God ova hea!” Cuz dat time da Box stay wit da Israel peopo. 19 But right den, wen Saul stay talk wit da pries guy, all da big noise inside da Filisha camp come mo an mo loud.

So den Saul tell da guy, “Mo betta, no go bring da Box now. We go ova dea!”

20 Den Saul an all his army guys come togedda fo fight. Dey find da Filisha guys all pupule—dey stay fight each odda wit dea swords! 21 Had Israel guys dat befo time wen go along wit da Filisha guys, an go up wit dem by dea camp. But now, dey turn aroun an go ova by da Israel guys dat stay wit Saul an Jonathan. 22 Wen all da Israel guys dat stay hide inside da up country Efraim side hear dat da Filisha guys stay run away, dey come fo fight too an chase da Filisha guys fas. 23 Dass how Da One In Charge get all da Israel guys outa trouble dat time. Dey fight all da way to Bet-Aven.

24 Dat same day, da Israel army guys get even mo presha, cuz Saul make dem make one strong promise to him. He tell, “I goin put one kahuna on top anybody dat go eat food today! Cuz firs, I gotta pay back da buggahs dat stay agains me befo da sun go down! Afta dat, den you can eat.” Az why nobody eat notting dat day cuz was kapu.

25 All da army guys go inside da fores, wea had some honey on top da groun. 26 Wen dey go inside da fores, dey spock da honey stay coming out, but nobody like touch um an eat um cuz dey sked a da kapu. 27 But Jonathan neva hear da kine kahuna dat his faddah wen put on top da army guys. He poke his stick fo walk inside da honey place. He eat some honey, an he smile cuz make him feel real good. 28 One a da army guys tell um, “Yoa faddah make us army guys make one strong promise. He tell, ‘I goin put one kahuna on top anybody dat go eat food today! Cuz firs, I gotta pay back da buggahs dat stay agains me! An I goin pay um back befo da sun go down! Afta dat, den you can eat.’ Az why now all us guys stay wasted!”

29 Jonathan tell, “Wat my faddah wen do, put plenny presha on all oua peopo! See? I feel mo betta awready cuz I wen eat litto bit a dat honey. 30 Fo shua, stay mo betta today, if da guys wen eat some a da stuffs dey rip off from da Filisha army guys! But dey no do dat! If dey wen eat, den we can kill even mo plenny Filisha guys!”

31 Dat time, afta da Israel guys wack da Filisha guys all da way from Mikmas to Aijalon, da Israel guys come plenny wasted.

32 Dey now jump on top da Filisha guys stuffs, an take da sheeps, da cows, an da bebe cows. Dey kill da animals on top da groun, an eat um, but dey neva get rid a all da blood jalike dey suppose to. 33  ✡ 14:33: Start 9:4; Pries 7:26-27; 17:10-14; 19:26; Rules2 12:16, 23; 15:23Den somebody tell Saul, “Look! Yoa army guys stay do bad kine stuff agains Da One In Charge, cuz dey eat da meat dat get da blood inside um!”

Saul tell, “Da way you guys ack, no can trus you guys notting! Roll one big stone ova hea by me, right now!” 34 Den he tell, “Go out ery place da guys stay. Tell dem, ‘Erybody bring yoa cows an sheeps an goats ova hea by me, an kill um on top dis stone. Den you can eat um. No go do bad kine stuff agains Da One In Charge, an go eat da meat wit da blood still yet inside um.’ ”

Az why dat nite, erybody bring dea cow an kill um on top da big stone ova dea 35 dat Saul use fo one altar fo Da One In Charge. Az da firs time he make lidat.

36 Den Saul tell, “Nex, nite time, we go down by da Filisha guys, an attack dem till come light tomorra, an make shua nobody stay alive!”

Dey tell, “Do wateva you tink good. We go do um!”

But da pries guy tell, “Good us go by Da One In Charge ova hea.”

37 So Saul aks God, “You tink dass okay if I go down dea afta da Filisha guys, o wat? You goin make us Israel guys win, o wat?” But God no tell him notting dat time.

38 Az why Saul tell, “All you main leada guys fo da army, come ova hea by me. Go find out wat bad ting we wen do today. 39 Fo shua, Da One In Charge stay alive, da one stay get us guys outa trouble. An fo shua too, no matta who wen do da bad ting, even if was my boy Jonathan wen do um, dey gotta mahke.” But nobody from all da army guys tell um notting.

40 Den Saul tell da Israel guys, “You guys stan ova dea. Me an my boy Jonathan goin stan ova hea.”

Da guys tell, “Watevas you tink stay good, do um awready.”

41  ✡ 14:41: Census 27:21; 1Sam 28:6Den Saul pray to Da One In Charge, “You, da God fo da Israel peopo! Show who neva do notting bad, an who wen do someting bad!” Den dey pull straw, an Jonathan an Saul get da blame, an da army guys stay good. 42 Saul tell, “We go pull straw one mo time fo pick me o my boy Jonathan.” An so, was Jonathan dat get da blame.

43 Den Saul aks Jonathan, “Wat you wen do?!”

So Jonathan tell him, “I ony taste litto bit honey dat stay on top my stick fo walk, on da end. So jus cuz a dat, I gotta mahke, o wat?!”

44 Saul tell, “You gotta mahke, Jonathan, o God goin pay me back plenny moa!”

45 But da army guys tell Saul, “Wat you mean, Jonathan gotta mahke?! No way! He da one wen get us Israel guys outa trouble from da Filisha guys, big time! Jalike fo shua Da One In Charge stay alive, us guys stay shua too, dat not even one hair from Jonathan head goin fall on top da groun. Cuz God wen help Jonathan get all us guys outa trouble today!” So dass how da army guys get Jonathan outa trouble fo him no mahke.

46 Den Saul pau go afta da Filisha guys, an he go home. An da Filisha guys go back dea land.

47 Afta Saul take ova an come da king fo da Israel peopo, he fight da peopos dat live all aroun dem, an dat stay agains da Israel peopo: da Moab peopo, da Ammon ohana peopo, da Edom peopo, da Zobah kings, an da Filisha peopo. Ery place he go, he punish dose guys. 48 He fight, an he no sked notting. He win ova da Amalek peopo, an get da Israel peopo outa da powa a da guys dat stay rip dem off.

49 Saul boys, Jonathan, Ishvi, an Malki-Shua. His older girl Merab, an da younga girl Michal. 50 Saul wife Ahinoam, Ahima girl. Abner, he da guy in charge a Saul army guys. Abner, he Ner boy. Ner, he Saul uncle. 51 Saul faddah Kish, an Abner faddah Ner, dey Abiel boys.

52 All da time Saul stay king, get real bad war wit da Filisha guys. Weneva Saul spock one strong guy dat know how fo fight real good, o one guy dat no sked notting, Saul take da guy fo his army.
