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.
NOW the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Philistine miten Saul le achapa teho jong adelphapa uvin, achapa thum Jonathan, Abinadab, chule Malkishua jong athat tauve.
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul’s sons.
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 went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
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.
Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a 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 when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise 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 armourbearer, and all his men, that same 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 when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt 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, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
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 cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among 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 put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Ahinlah Jabesh-gilead miten jong, Philistine miten Saul abolnao ajah phat un,
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done 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.
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt 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 took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
