1 Khokhuen 10
1 Philisti loh Israel te a vathoh thil dongah Israel hlang tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham tih Gilboa tlang ah a rhok la cungku uh.
And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
2 Philisti te Saul hnuk neh anih koca rhoek hnukah balak uh. Te dongah Philisti loh Saul koca rhoek Jonathan, Abinadab neh Malkhishua te a ngawn uh.
and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
3 Caemtloek rhoek khaw Saul kaepvai ah tah a saeng pah. Te dongah anih aka hmu rhoek loh lii neh a kah tih a kah bangla a pawlh pah.
And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
4 Te dongah Saul loh a hnopai aka phuei te, “Na cunghang te bong lamtah te nen te kai n'thun laeh. Pumdul rhoek he ha pawk uh vetih kai m'poelyoe uh ve,” a ti nah. Tedae a hno phuei long khaw bahoeng a rhih dongah ngaih pa pawh. Te dongah Saul loh cunghang te a loh tih a soah amah cungku uh.
and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, 'Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come — and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;
5 A hno phuei loh Saul a duek te a hmuh vaengah tah amah khaw cunghang dongah kaeh tih duek.
and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
6 Saul a duek phoeiah tah a ca rhoek pathum neh a imkhui pum khaw rhenten duek uh.
and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
7 Saul neh anih koca rhoek a duek te tuikol kah Israel hlang cungkuem loh a hmuh vaengah tah rhaelrham uh. Te vaengah amah khopuei te a hnoo uh tih rhaelrham uh. Te dongah Philisti rhoek ha pawk uh tih a khuiah kho a sak uh.
And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 A vuen ah rhok te lim hamla Philisti rhoek pawk uh. Te vaengah Gilboa tlang ah aka cungku Saul neh a ca rhoek te a hmuh uh.
And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,
9 Anih te a lim uh phoeiah a lu khaw, a hnopai te khaw a phueih pauh. Te phoeiah a muei neh pilnam te phong sak hamla Philisti kaepvai kah khohmuen tom la a tueih uh.
and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people,
10 A hnopai te amamih kah pathen im ah a khueh uh tih a luhong te Dagon im ah a ling uh.
and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
11 Philisti loh Saul taengah a saii boeih te Jabesh Gilead pum loh a yaak uh.
And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
12 Te dongah tatthai hlang boeih tah thoo uh tih Saul rhok neh a ca rhoek kah rhok te a loh uh. Te rhoek te Jabesh la a pawk puei uh tih a rhuh te Jabesh kah rhokael hmuiah a up uh. Te vaengah hnin rhih a yaeh uh.
and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
13 Saul he amah kah boekoeknah dongah ni a duek. BOEIPA taengah boe a koek tih BOEIPA ol te a ngaithuen pawt dongah rhaitonghma te dawt ham a toem.
And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit — to inquire, —
14 BOEIPA te a toem pawt dongah ni anih te a duek sak tih ram te Jesse capa David taengla a paek pah.
and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
