1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
Wafilisti wakapigana dhidi ya Israeli. Kila mwanaume wa Israeli alikimbia Wafilisti na kuanguka na kufa katika Mlima Giliboa.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Wafilisti waliwakimbiza Sauli na mwanae. Waflisti walimuua Yonathani, Abinadabu, na Malichishua, wana wake.
3 The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
Pambano lilikuwa zito kwa Sauli, na wapiga mishale wakamshambulia. Alipatwa na maumivu makali sababu ya wapiga mishale.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on 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 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
Mbeba ngao alivyoona kuwa Sauli amekufa, naye akaangukia upanga wake na kufa.
6 So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa, na wana wake watatu, wote wa nyumba yake wakafa pamoja.
7 When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived 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 On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Ikawa siku inayofuata, Wafilisti walipo kuja kukagua wafu, walimkuta Sauli na wana wake wameanguka katika Mlima Giliboa.
9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to 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 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
Ngao yake wakaeka ndani ya hekalu la miungu yao, na kichwa chake waka kining'iniza katika hekalu la Dagoni.
11 When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Yabeshi Gileadi yote ilipo sikia Wafilisti waliyo mtendea Sauli,
12 all the valiant men arose 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 trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa kwa kuwa hakuwa mwaminifu kwa Yahweh. Hakutii maelekezo ya Yahweh, lakini akauliza ushauri kwa mtu anaye ongea na wafu.
14 and didn’t inquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
Hakutafuta mwongozo kwa Yahweh, hivyo Yahweh akamua na kupindua ufalme kwa Daudi mwana wa Yese.
