< I Samuel 31 >

1 Ita, nakiranget dagiti Filisteo iti Israel. Intarayan dagiti lallaki iti Israel dagiti Filisteo ket napasagda idiay Bantay Gilboa.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead on Mount Gilboa.
2 Nakamatan dagiti Filisteo ni Saul ken dagiti annakna a lallaki. Pinatay dagiti Filisteo da Jonatan, Abinadab ken Malkisua, nga annakna a lallaki.
The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
3 Maab-abaken ni Saul iti gubat ket pinana isuna dagiti pumapana. Nakaro nga ut-ot ti marikriknana gapu kadagitoy.
The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him. He was in severe pain because of them.
4 Ket kinuna ni Saul iti agtutubo a para-awit iti igamna, “Asutem ti kampilanmo ket iduyokmo kaniak. Ta no saan, umay dagitoy a saan a nakugit ket parigatendak.” Ngem saan a kayat nga aramiden dayta ti para-awit iti igamna, ta kasta unay ti butengna. Innala ngarud ni Saul ti bukodna a kampilan ket rinugmaanna daytoy.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it. Otherwise, these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 Idi nakita ti para-awit iti igamna a natayen ni Saul, rinugmaanna met ti kampilanna ket natay met isuna.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died with him.
6 Isu a natay ni Saul, dagiti tallo nga annakna ken ti para-awit iti igamna— natay amin dagitoy a lallaki iti dayta nga aldaw.
So Saul died, his three sons, and his armor bearer—these men all died together that same day.
7 Idi nakita dagiti lallaki iti Israel nga adda iti bangir a paset ti tanap ken kadagiti adda iti labes ti Jordan a nagtatarayen dagiti lallaki ti Israel ken natayen ni Saul ken dagiti annakna, pinanawanda dagiti siudadda ket nagtatarayda. Immay dagiti Filisteo ket nagnaedda kadagitoy.
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 Ket napasamak nga iti simmaruno nga aldaw, idi immay alaen dagiti Filisteo dagiti kalasag ken igam dagiti natay, nasarakanda ni Saul ken dagiti tallo nga annakna a napasag iti Bantay Gilboa.
It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Pinugotanda ni Saul ken innalada dagiti armasna ket nangibaonda kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti entero a daga dagiti Filisteo tapno iwaragawagda ti damag kadagiti templo ti didiosenda ken kadagiti tattao.
They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent messengers into the land of the Philistines throughout to carry the news to their idols' temples and to the people.
10 Inkabilda dagiti igam ni Saul iti templo ni Astarte ken imbitinda ti bangkayna iti pader ti siudad ti Bet-san.
They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the city wall of Beth Shan.
11 Idi nangngeg dagiti agnanaed iti Jabes idiay Galaad ti inaramid dagiti Filisteo kenni Saul,
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 nagrubbuat dagiti amin a mamaingel a lallaki ket nagdaliasatda a nagpatpatnag ket innalada ti bangkay ni Saul ken dagiti bangkay dagiti annakna a lallaki manipud iti pader ti Bet-san. Napanda idiay Jabes ket pinuoranda dagiti bangkay sadiay.
all the fighting men arose and went all night and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan. They went to Jabesh and burned them there.
13 Kalpasanna, innalada dagiti tultulang ket inkalida iti sirok ti kayo a tamarisko idiay Jabes, ket nagayunarda iti pito nga aldaw.
Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
