1 Istwa 10
1 Moun Filisti yo leve yon sèl batay ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou mòn Gilboa. Anpil nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mouri, rès yo te kouri met deyò.
Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
2 Moun Filisti yo rive sou Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo. Yo touye Jonatan, Abinadab ak Malchichwa frèt.
And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines struck Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.
3 Batay la te mangonmen kote Sayil te ye a. Mesye ki t'ap voye flèch nan banza yo te konmanse ap vize sou li. Lè li wè sa, li pran tranble.
And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
4 Li rele gad kò ki t'ap pote zam li yo, li di l' konsa: -Rale nepe ou, touye m' pou bann moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pa gen tan rive sou mwen pou yo pase m' nan betiz. Men, gad kò a pa t' vle paske li te pè anpil. Lè sa a, Sayil pran nepe a, li vire l' tèt anba, li lage kò l' sou li.
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 Lè gad kò a wè Sayil te mouri, li fè menm bagay la tou, li lage kò l' sou nepe pa li a, li mouri ansanm ak Sayil.
And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
6 Se konsa, ni Sayil ni twa pitit gason l' yo te mouri. Jou sa a, tout mesye Sayil yo te mouri.
So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
7 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te rete nan fon an te wè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo kouri epi Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo mouri. Lè sa a, yo leve kite lavil kote yo te rete yo, yo met deyò. Moun Filisti yo vini, yo pran lavil yo pou yo.
And all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, and they left their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 Nan denmen apre batay la, moun Filisti yo tounen pou pran zam ki te sou kadav sòlda mouri yo, yo jwenn kadav Sayil ak kadav twa pitit gason l' yo kouche atè sou mòn Gilboa a.
And it came to pass on the next [day] that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gelbue.
9 Yo koupe tèt Sayil, yo pran tout zam li yo. Lèfini, yo voye gaye bon nouvèl sa a nan tout peyi Filisti a, nan tanp zidòl yo ak nan zòrèy tout pèp la.
And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.
10 Yo mete zam Sayil yo nan tanp Astate, zidòl yo a. Epi yo pran tèt li, yo kloure l' nan tanp Dagon an.
And they put their armor in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Lè moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, vin konnen sa moun Filisti yo te fè Sayil,
And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
12 tout mesye ki te brave danje yo leve, y' al pran kadav Sayil la ansanm ak kadav pitit gason l' yo, yo tounen ak yo lavil Jabès. Yo antere zosman yo anba pye tonmaren ki nan lavil Jabès la. Apre sa, yo pase sèt jou san manje.
And all the mighty men rose up from Galaad, and they took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabis, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabis, and fasted seven days.
13 Se konsa Sayil mouri paske li pa t' kenbe pawòl li ak Seyè a. Li pa t' obeyi lòd Seyè a te ba li. Li te pito fè yo rele nanm moun mouri pou l' te konnen sa ki tapral rive l',
So Saul died for his transgressions, wherein he transgressed against God, against the word of the Lord, forasmuch as he kept [it] not, because Saul enquired of a wizard to seek [counsel], and Samuel the prophet answered him:
14 pase pou l' te al mande Seyè a sa. Se poutèt sa Seyè a te touye l', li renmèt gouvènman an nan men David, pitit lzayi a.
and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
