NOW the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Philishtineten Saul le achapate ajamnauva apha uvin, hichun achapa thum-Jonathan, Abinadab, chule Malkishua ho chu athat tauve.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Saul din gal kisat chu adou hah cheh cheh jeng tan, chuin Philistine thalpi kapthem mihon ma Saul chu amudoh’uvin chule melse tah’in amavouvin ahi.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

Ahivanginla agalvonpopan chutia bol jeng ding chu atijat behseh jeh’in anompon aboldeh tapoi. Hiche jehchun Saul’in jong achemjam akisadoh jengin, achunga alhun akibah lut jenge.
Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 Hichea hi agalvon popanjong Saul thi amudoh phat’in ama jong achemjam chunga akibah lut pai jengin athi pai pai tai.
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Ajing nikho’a Philistine mite chu mithi long chomdoh’a ahunguva ahileh, Saul le achapate long chu Gilboa molsanga amudoh tauve.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 Hijeh chun amahon jong Saul galvon chu ahoh lhauvin, chule alu jong akitan lhah tauve. Chuin amahon ami lim doi houvu leh Philistia gamsung pumpia mitin henga Saul athi kipana thu alhangsam lele tauvin ahi.
And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10 Amahon Saul galvon chu a Pathen lim semthu ho hou-in sunga akoiyun, chule alu jong chu Dagon hou-in sunga atah’uvin ahi.
And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 Hinlah Jabesh- Gilead khoa cheng mitakip’in Philistineten Saul abolnau ajah doh phat’uvin,
And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 Agal-hang lai jouse akipat’uvin Saul tahsa along le achapate long jouse chu abonchauvin Jabesh khoa ahinpo lut soh keiyuvin ahi. Chujongle agubuh jouseu chu Jabesh khopia gangpi phung noiya avuiyun, ni sagi sungin an angol’uvin ahi.
They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;
And inquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
