1 Chronicles 10
1 The army of Philistia [again] fought against the Israelis. The Israeli soldiers ran away from them, and many Israelis were killed {the soldiers of Philistia killed many Israelis} on Gilboa Mountain.
Philistineten Israel chunga gal ahin bol tauve; chule Philistinete masanga Israelte ajam gam tauvin ahi. Gilboa molsang chunga gal alel’uvin akijam chap jeng tauvin ahi.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Philishtineten Saul le achapate ajamnauva apha uvin, hichun achapa thum-Jonathan, Abinadab, chule Malkishua ho chu athat tauve.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
Saul din gal kisat chu adou hah cheh cheh jeng tan, chuin Philistine thalpi kapthem mihon ma Saul chu amudoh’uvin chule melse tah’in amavouvin ahi.
4 Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to injure me [further] and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it [and died].
Hichun Saul’in jong agalvonpopa jah’a aseiyin, “Nachemjam satdoh jengin lang neithat pai jengin, achuti louva ahileh hiche cheptanlou Philistine mite khu hung uvin tin kichepna einei diu ahitai,” ati. Ahivanginla agalvonpopan chutia bol jeng ding chu atijat behseh jeh’in anompon aboldeh tapoi. Hiche jehchun Saul’in jong achemjam akisadoh jengin, achunga alhun akibah lut jenge.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Hichea hi agalvon popanjong Saul thi amudoh phat’in ama jong achemjam chunga akibah lut pai jengin athi pai pai tai.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Hitobang hin Saul le achapa mi thum hochu chumun’a chun abonchan athi khom cheh tauvin, alenggam vaihomna phat sungu jong ahung kichai tai.
7 When the Israelis who were living in the valley saw that their army had run away and that Saul and his three sons were dead, they left their towns and ran away. Then the soldiers from Philistia came and (occupied/lived in) those towns.
Hichun Jezreel Phaichama cheng Israel mite leh asepai teu ajam gamtauvin, Saul le achapate jong athitauve, ti amudoh phat’uvin achennau khopi jouse adalhauvin ajam gamtauve. Chuin Philistinete ahung kitol lut’uvin akhopi ho chu alotauve.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the corpses of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
Ajing nikho’a Philistine mite chu mithi long chomdoh’a ahunguva ahileh, Saul le achapate long chu Gilboa molsanga amudoh tauve.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
Hijeh chun amahon jong Saul galvon chu ahoh lhauvin, chule alu jong akitan lhah tauve. Chuin amahon ami lim doi houvu leh Philistia gamsung pumpia mitin henga Saul athi kipana thu alhangsam lele tauvin ahi.
10 Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news throughout their own area, to their idols and to the other people. They put Saul’s armor in the temple where their idols were, and they hung Saul’s head in the temple of [their god] Dagon.
Amahon Saul galvon chu a Pathen lim semthu ho hou-in sunga akoiyun, chule alu jong chu Dagon hou-in sunga atah’uvin ahi.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
Hinlah Jabesh- Gilead khoa cheng mitakip’in Philistineten Saul abolnau ajah doh phat’uvin,
12 So the bravest men/soldiers of Jabesh went and got the corpses of Saul and his sons and brought them back to Jabesh. They buried their bones under a large tree in Jabesh. Then the people of Jabesh (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
Agal-hang lai jouse akipat’uvin Saul tahsa along le achapate long jouse chu abonchauvin Jabesh khoa ahinpo lut soh keiyuvin ahi. Chujongle agubuh jouseu chu Jabesh khopia gangpi phung noiya avuiyun, ni sagi sungin an angol’uvin ahi.
13 Saul died because he did not faithfully obey what Yahweh told him to do. He even went to a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people and asked her what he should do,
Hitobang tah hin Saul chun Pakai thupeh anit pon, chule gaochang mi pou adong len, iti chon ding ham, ti doh ding agopon ahi. Hichejeh’a chu Pakaiyin ama chu athadoh’a, lenggam chu Jesse chapa David joh apeh ahitai.
14 instead of asking Yahweh what he should do. So Yahweh caused him to die, and he appointed David, the son of Jesse, to be the king [of Israel].
