< 1 Samuel 31 >

1 Philistine miten Israel mite chu anokhum tauvin ahile, Israel mite chu Philistinete masanga ajamcheh uvin, Gilboa molsanga ken laiyah chun Philistine ten athatgam tauve.
And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
2 Philistine miten Saul le achapa teho jong adelphapa uvin, achapa thum Jonathan, Abinadab, chule Malkishua jong athat tauve.
And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
3 Saul panmun kimvel’a jong gal akihasat lheh jengun, akhona in thalpi kapthem hon akap kha’un, melsetah in amavo uvin ahi.
And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
4 Chuin Saul in agalvon popa jah ah, “Nachemjam satdoh inlang neithat in hiche Philistine Pathen helou ho ahung uva eimoh sutlih sang un,” ati. Ahinla agalvonpopa akichan athat ngampon ahi. Chuin Saul in jong ama chemjam asatdoh in, achemjam chu abokhum in amale ama akithat tai.
And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw your sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
5 Chuin agalvon popan Saul athitai ti ahetdoh phat in achemjam asatdoh in alhuh khum in alengpa komah amajong athi tan ahi.
And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Hitichun Saul, achapa thumho, chule agalvon popa, abonchauvin nikhat sung in athi soh hel tauvin ahi.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, in that day together.
7 Jezreel phaicham agal langkhat, Jordan vadung niso lam’a Israelten, Israel sepaite ho galjam gam tauve tithu ajahdoh uva, Saul le achapa teho jong athat taove ti ajah phat un, akhopi hou adalhauvin ahile Philistine miten akhopi sung uva alut un khopi u chu alo tauvin ahi.
And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 Ajing nikho in Philistine miten mithilong ho hetup dinga ahung uleh Gilboa mol chunga Saul le achapate thumho le agalvon popa, alongu ahung mudoh un ahi.
And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
9 Chuin Saul alu atan uvin agalvon chengtoh apotauve, Saul thi jeh in Philistine gamsung jouse le a pathen hounau houin’ah kipa thuphon aneiyun ahi.
And they turned him, and stripped off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
10 Saul galvon chu amilim doi ahounao Ashteroth kiti houin sung ah akoijun chule atahsa chu Beth-shan kiti khopi sunga bang ah akhaiyun ahi.
And they set up his armour at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
11 Ahinlah Jabesh-gilead miten jong, Philistine miten Saul abolnao ajah phat un,
And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
12 Galhang pasal jouse akipat doh un, ahung kitol’un, jan khovah hellin Beth-shan a kon in Saul le achapa teho long chu banga kon in ala lhauvin, Jabesh khopi ah ahin pulut un hikoma chun ahalvam un ahi.
And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
13 Chujouvin agu ho chu alauvin Jabesh khoa Tamarisk thingphung noiyah avui uivn, chule ni sagi jen apuldou nan an angol uvin ahi.
And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
