But the men of Israel were hard-pressed that day, because Saul had put the people under a curse, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the people ate any food.
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
Saul did something really foolish that day. He addressed the army: “A curse on the man who eats anything before evening, before I’ve wreaked vengeance on my enemies!” None of them ate a thing all day. 25-27 There were honeycombs here and there in the fields. But no one so much as put his finger in the honey to taste it, for the soldiers to a man feared the curse. But Jonathan hadn’t heard his father put the army under oath. He stuck the tip of his staff into some honey and ate it. Refreshed, his eyes lit up with renewed vigor.
Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food [j]before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
The Israelites became very hungry that day. That’s because Saul had forced the army to make a promise. He had said, “None of you must eat any food before evening comes. You must not eat until I’ve paid my enemies back for what they did. If you do, may you be under a curse!” So none of the troops ate any food at all.
Now the Israelites were in distress that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath, saying, “Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the troops tasted food.

Now the men of Israel were pressed to exhaustion that day, because Saul had placed them under an oath, saying, “Let a curse fall on anyone who eats before evening—before I have full revenge on my enemies.” So no one ate anything all day,

وَأَعْيَا رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّ شَاوُلَ حَلَّفَ الشَّعْبَ قَائِلاً: «مَلْعُونٌ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ طَعَاماً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي». فَلَمْ يَذُقْ جَمِيعُ الْقَوْمِ طَعَاماً.

An diesem Tag mussten die israelitischen Truppen hart kämpfen und gerieten zeitweise in große Bedrängnis. Saul drohte ihnen: »Verflucht sei, wer vor dem Abend irgendetwas isst, bevor ich mich an meinen Feinden gerächt habe!« So aß den ganzen Tag hindurch niemand auch nur den kleinsten Bissen.

Los israelitas desfallecían de hambre, pues Saúl había puesto al ejército bajo este juramento: «¡Maldito el que coma algo antes del anochecer, antes de que pueda vengarme de mis enemigos!» Así que aquel día ninguno de los soldados había probado bocado.

Sang sina nga adlaw, nagpalangluya ang mga Israelinhon sa kagutom kay nagpanumpa si Saul nga nagasiling, “Pakamalauton ang bisan sin-o nga magkaon antes maggab-i, sa indi pa ako makabalos sa akon mga kaaway.” Gani wala gid sing may nagkaon sa ila. 25-26 Karon nagkadto ang tanan nga soldado sa kakahuyan, kag may nakita sila nga dugos nga nagatulo sa duta. Pero wala gid sing may nagkaon sa ila tungod kay nahadlok sila sa sumpa.

그 날 이스라엘 사람들은 아무것도 먹지 못하고 굶주린 채 지쳐 있었다. 이것은 사울이 “오늘 내가 원수에게 복수하기 전에 무엇이든지 먹는 자는 저주를 받을 것이다” 하고 엄숙하게 선언했기 때문이었다. 그래서 하루 종일 그들은 아무것도 먹지 못하였다.
