1 Philistin kaminawk mah Israel caanawk to tuk o; Israel caanawk loe nihcae hmaa ah cawnh o moe, Gilboa mae nuiah kami paroeai duek o.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Philistinnawk loe Saul hoi anih ih capanawk to patom o moe, Saul ih capa Jonathan, Abinadab hoi Malki-Shua to hum pae o.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 Saul to kanung aep ah tuk o, kalii kaat kop kaminawk mah Saul to kah o moe, ahmaa caak o sak.
When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him.
4 Saul mah angmah ih maiphawmaica sinkung khaeah, Na sumsen to aphongh loe na thun ah; to tih ai nahaeloe tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk mah kai hae na pacaekthlaek o tih, tiah a naa. Toe anih ih maiphawmaica sin kami loe zit pongah, anih to thun ai. To pongah Saul mah angmah ih sumsen to lak moe, a sumsen pongah angthunh.
Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 Saul loe duek boeh, tiah maiphaw sin kami mah hnuk naah, anih doeh angmah ih sumsen hoiah angthunh moe, duek toeng.
When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died.
6 Saul loe angmah ih imthung takoh ah kaom, a capa thumtonawk hoi nawnto duek.
So Saul died together with his three sons and all his house.

When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
8 Khawnbangah loe Philistinnawk mah kadueh kaminawk ih khukbuen to khring hanah angzoh o, to naah Gilboa mae ah kadueh Saul hoi anih ih capanawk to hnuk o.
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Nihcae mah Saul ih khukbuen to khringh pae o, anih ih lu hoi maiphaw to a lak o moe, angmacae kaminawk hoi sakcop ih krangnawk khaeah tamthang thuih o hanah, Philistin prae boih ah kami to patoeh o.
They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.
10 Anih ih maiphaw to angmacae sithawnawk suekhaih im ah a suek o; anih ih lu to Dagon tempul thungah bangh o.
They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 Philistinawk mah Saul nuiah sak o ih hmuen boih to Gilead prae Jabesh vangpui ah kaom kaminawk mah thaih o naah,
When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 misahoih kaminawk boih caeh o moe, Saul hoi anih capanawk ih qok to lak o pacoengah, Jabesh ah amlaem o haih; nihcae ih ahuhnawk to Jabesh avang ih Oak thing tlim ah aphum o, nihcae mah ni sarihto thung buhzah o haih.
all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.

So Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,
14 Angraeng mah anih to paduek moe, Jesse capa David khaeah prae to paek ving.
and he failed to inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
