1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
Ie amy zao, nialy amy Israele o nte-Pilistio, le nandripàke ty lay aolo’ o nte-Pilistio o ana’ Israeleo vaho nikoromak’ am-pizamanañe an-kaboa’ i Gilboà ey.
2 The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Hinorida’ o nte-Pilistio mafe t’i Saole naho o ana’eo naho vinono’ o nte-Pilistio t’Ionatane naho i Abinadabe vaho i Malkisoa, ana-dahi’ i Saole.
3 The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
Nifandraparapake ty aly amy Saole le nijoy aze o mpitàm-paleo, toe nampitsingoro aze o mpitàm-paleo.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me!” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
Le hoe t’i Saole amy mpitàm-pikala’ey, apontsoàño o fibara’oo, le atrebeho amako tsy mone hitomboke naho hijoy ahy o tsy nisavareñe retoañeo. Fe tsy nimete i mpitàm-pikala’ey, fa loho nirevendreveñe. Aa le rinambe’ i Saole i fibara’ey vaho nihotraha’e.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
Ie nizoe’ i mpitàm-pikala’ey te nihomake t’i Saole le nihotrak’ amy fibara’ey ka, nitrao-pivetrak’ ama’e.
6 So Saul died with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men that same day together.
Aa le nitrao-pihomake amy andro zay ty Saole naho i ana’e telo rey, naho i mpitàm-pikala’ey vaho o fonga ondati’eo.
7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
Ie niisa’ o ana’ Israele añ’ ila’ i vavataneio naho o alafe’ Iordaneio te nilay o ana’ Israeleo naho nihomake t’i Saole naho o ana’eo, le naforintse’ iareo o rova’ iareoo naho nitriban-day, vaho nimb’eo o nte-Pilistio nimoneñe ama’e.
8 On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Ie amy loak-androy, nimb’eo o nte-Pilistio hañolitse o zinamañeo, le nizoe’ iereo te nikorovok’ an-kaboa’ i Gilboà t’i Saole naho i ana’e telo rey.
9 They cut off his head, stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols and to the people.
Kinitsi’ iareo i añambone’ey naho hinalo’ iareo o sarom-pikala’eo vaho nañitrike i raha rezay mb’eo mb’eo añ’akiban-drahare’ iareo naho am’ondatio.
10 They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
Nasampe’ iereo añ’anjomba’ i Astarote ao o sarom-pikala’eo vaho napite’ iareo an-drindri’ i Bete-Sane eo i fañova’ey.
11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Aa ie jinanji’ o nte-Iabese-Giladeo i nanoe’ o nte-Pilistio amy Saoley,
12 all the valiant men arose, went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.
le niongake o fanalolahi’ iereoo, nikatsakatsake haleñe mb’eo nandrambe ty fañova’ i Saole naho i ana’e rey boak’ an-drindri’ i Betesàne eo naho nimpoly mb’e Iabese mb’eo vaho noroa’ iareo.
13 They took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
Le rinambe’ iareo o taola’ iareoo naho nalente’ iareo ambane’ ty kile’ Iabese ao vaho nililitse fito andro.
