Sie Samuel 31
1 Mwet Philistia elos mweun lain mwet Israel fin Fineol Gilboa. Mwet Israel pukanten elos misa in acn sac, ac mwet lula sin mwet Israel, welulang Tokosra Saul ac wen natul, elos kaingla.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead on Mount Gilboa.
2 Tusruktu mwet Philistia elos ukwalos, ac uniya wen tolu inge natul Saul: Jonathan, Abinadab, ac Malchishua.
The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
3 Mweun sac arulana upa nu facl Saul, ac el pisrkiyuki ke pisr nutin mwet lokoalok lal, ac arulana yohk kinet kacl.
The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him. He was in severe pain because of them.
4 Saul el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su us mwe mweun natul ah, “Faisak cutlass nutum an ac uniyuwi, tuh mwet Philistia pegan ingan in tia konkin lah elos uniyuwi.” Tuh mwet fusr sac arulana sangeng ac kofla orala. Ke ma inge Saul el srukak cutlass natul sifacna, ac putatyang nu fac.
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 Ke mwet fusr sac liye lah Saul el misa, na el oayapa putatyang nu fin cutlass natul ah, ac welul Saul misa.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died with him.
6 Na pa ingan luman misa lal Saul ac wen tolu natul, ac mwet fusr sac. Mwet nukewa su welul Saul elos misa ke len sac.
So Saul died, his three sons, and his armor bearer—these men all died together that same day.
7 Ke mwet Israel su muta lefahlo Infahlfal Jezreel, ac elos su muta lefahlyat Infacl Jordan, elos lohng lah un mwet mweun lun mwet Israel elos kaing, ac Saul ac wen natul elos misa, elos fahsr liki siti selos ac kaingla. Na mwet Philistia elos tuku ac muta we.
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 In len se tukun mweun upa sac, mwet Philistia elos som in suk ma wap ke mwet misa, na elos konauk manol Saul ac wen tolu natul oan Fineol 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 Elos pakela sifal Saul, ac sarukla mwe loeyuk lal, ac supwalik ma inge yurin mwet utuk kas nu in facl Philistia nufon, in fahkak pweng wo se inge nu sin ma sruloala lalos ac nu sin mwet lalos.
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 Elos filiya mwe mweun natul Saul in tempul lun god mutan se pangpang Astarte, ac elos patikya manol Saul nu ke pot uh in siti Beth Shan.
They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the city wall of Beth Shan.
11 Ke mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos lohng ma mwet Philistia oru nu sel Saul,
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 na mwet pulaik inmasrlolos elos fahla fong nufon se nwe ke elos sun Beth Shan. Elos eisya manol Saul ac wen natul liki pot uh, ac usla nu Jabesh ac esukak we.
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 Na elos orani sri uh, ac pikinya ye sak tamarisk soko in siti uh, ac elos lalo ke len itkosr.
Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
