1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
Wafilisti wakapigana dhidi ya Israeli. Kila mwanaume wa Israeli alikimbia Wafilisti na kuanguka na kufa katika Mlima Giliboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Wafilisti waliwakimbiza Sauli na mwanae. Waflisti walimuua Yonathani, Abinadabu, na Malichishua, wana wake.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
Pambano lilikuwa zito kwa Sauli, na wapiga mishale wakamshambulia. Alipatwa na maumivu makali sababu ya wapiga mishale.
4 Then said Saul to his armour bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
Kisha Sauli akasema kwa mbeba ngao wake, “Vuta upanga wako na unichome nao. Lasihivyo, hawa wasio tahiriwa watukuja na kunitesa”. Lakini mbeba ngao wake hakutaka, kwa kuwa aliogopa sana. Kwa hiyo Sauli akachukuwa upanga wake na kuuangukia.
5 And when his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
Mbeba ngao alivyoona kuwa Sauli amekufa, naye akaangukia upanga wake na kufa.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa, na wana wake watatu, wote wa nyumba yake wakafa pamoja.
7 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.
Kila mwanaume wa Israeli katika bonde alivyoona kuwa wamekimbia, na Sauli na wana wake wamekufa, walitelekeza miji yao na kukimbia. Kisha Wafilisti wakaja na kuishi humo.
8 And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
Ikawa siku inayofuata, Wafilisti walipo kuja kukagua wafu, walimkuta Sauli na wana wake wameanguka katika Mlima Giliboa.
9 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.
Wakamvua nguo zote na kuchukuwa kichwa chake na ngao yake. Wakatuma wajumbe wapeleke habari Filistia yote kwa miungu yao na watu wote.
10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
Ngao yake wakaeka ndani ya hekalu la miungu yao, na kichwa chake waka kining'iniza katika hekalu la Dagoni.
11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Yabeshi Gileadi yote ilipo sikia Wafilisti waliyo mtendea Sauli,
12 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.
wanaume wote wa vita wakaenda na kuchukuwa mwili wa Sauli na hiyo ya wanae, na kuirejesha Yabeshi. Walizika mifupa yao chini ya mti huko Yabeshi na wakafunga siku saba.
13 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 enquire of it;
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa kwa kuwa hakuwa mwaminifu kwa Yahweh. Hakutii maelekezo ya Yahweh, lakini akauliza ushauri kwa mtu anaye ongea na wafu.
14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
Hakutafuta mwongozo kwa Yahweh, hivyo Yahweh akamua na kupindua ufalme kwa Daudi mwana wa Yese.
