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.
Koro jo-Filistia ne kedo gi jo-Israel kendo jo-Israel noringo e nyimgi kendo joma ngʼeny nonegi e Got Gilboa.
2 The Philistines followed hard on Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua, the sons of Saul.
Jo-Filistia nolawo Saulo gi yawuote matek, ma neginego yawuote magin Jonathan, Abinadab kod Malki-Shua.
3 The battle was fierce against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers.
Lweny nobedo mager kama Saulo ne nitie kendo kane jodir asere ojuke to ne gihinye marach.
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 torture me." But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
Saulo nowacho ni jatingʼne gige lweny niya, “Wuodh liganglani mondo inega, nono to joma ok oter nyangigi biro nega kendo yanya.” To jatingʼne gige lweny ne luoro omako kendo ne ok onyal timo kamano, omiyo Saulo nokawo liganglane owuon mochwoworego.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
Kane jatingʼ gige lweny oneno ka Saulo osetho en bende nokawo liganglane mochwoworego motho kode.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Kamano Saulo gi yawuote adek gi jatingʼne gige lweny kod joode duto notho kaachiel e odiechiengʼno.
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 their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
Kane jo-Israel duto mane nitie e holo to gi mago mane nitie loka aora Jordan noneno ka jolwenj Israel oseringo kendo ni Saulo gi yawuote bende osetho, negijwangʼo miechgi ma giringo. Kendo jo-Filistia nobiro modak e miechgigo.
8 It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Kinyne kane jo-Filistia obiro mondo oyak gige joma otho, negiyudo Saulo gi yawuote adek kotho e Got Gilboa.
9 They cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
Negingʼado wiye oko kendo ne gilonyo gige mag lweny, bangʼe negioro joote e piny jo-Filistia duto ka gioro wach mondo oter wach e hekalu mag nyisechegi kendo ni jopinygi.
10 They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
Negiketo gige mag lweny e hekalu mar Ashtoreth kendo negitweyo ringre e kor ohinga man Beth Shan.
11 But when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Kane jo-Jabesh Gilead nowinjo gima jo-Filistia osetimo ni Saulo,
12 all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and brought them to Jabesh and burnt them there.
thuondigi duto nowuok mowuotho otieno duto ka gidhi Beth Shan. Negigonyo ringre Saulo gi yawuote e kor ohinga mar Beth Shan ma negikelogi Jabesh, kuma ne giwangʼogie.
13 They took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
Eka negikawo chokegi ma giyiko e tiend yath moro man Jabesh, kendo negitweyo chiemo kuom ndalo abiriyo.
