1 Samuel 31
1 Hot patetlah Filistinnaw ni Isarelnaw hah a tuk awh teh, Isarelnaw teh Filistinnaw hmalah a yawng awh teh, Gilboa mon vah a thei awh.
Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.
2 Filistin taminaw ni Sawl hoi a capa hah poe a pâlei awh teh, Sawl capa Jonathan hoi Abinadab hoi Malkhishua hah a thei awh.
And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.
3 Sawl hah pueng hoi rek a saueng awh teh, pala kapatuemnaw ni a ma hah rek a pha awh teh, hmâ puenghoi a ca sak awh.
And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Hot patetlah Sawl ni amae senehmaica ka sin koe, na tahloi hah rayu nateh, poukkayawng lah na thun leih. Hottelah na tet hoehpawiteh, vuensom ka a hoehnaw ni na pacekpahlek awh langvaih atipouh. Hatei, senehmaica ka sin e ni, thun ngai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a taki poung. Hat torei teh, Sawl ni a tahloi hah a la teh a tabo sin.
Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it.
5 Hahoi senehmaica ka sin e tami ni Sawl a due e hah a hmu toteh, ahni ni hai a tahloi a tabo sin van teh, cungtalah a due roi.
And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him.
6 Hot patetlah Sawl hoi a capa kathum touh hoi senehmaica ka sin e hoi a taminaw pueng hoi hot hnin roeroe vah a due awh.
So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 Ravo namran lah kaawm e Isarelnaw hoi Jordan namran lah kaawmnaw ni Isarelnaw a sung awh toe tie hoi Sawl hoi a capanaw a due awh toe tie a thai awh toteh, kho a tâco takhai awh teh a yawng awh. Hahoi Filistinnaw ni rek ao sin awh.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.
8 Hahoi teh, Filistinnaw ni a thei awh nae tangtho vah, senehmaica ka sin e a cei sin awh navah, Sawl hoi a capa kathum touh Gilboa mon koe a due awh e hah a hmu awh.
And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,
9 A lû a tâtueng pouh teh senehmaica a rading pouh awh. A kamthaw nah meikaphawk bawknae bawkim tangkuem hoi taminaw pueng koe pathang hanelah Filistin ram pueng dawk a pathang awh.
And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, and sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, and among the people.
10 Hote senehmaica teh, Ashtaroth im vah a ta awh. A ro teh Bethshan kalupnae tapang dawk a vo awh.
And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Jabesh Gilead vah kaawmnaw ni Filistinnaw ni Sawl ro dawk a sak awh e a hmu awh toteh,
When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,
12 Tami tarankahawi poung ni a thaw teh, karum khodai a cei awh teh, Bethshan kalupnae tapang dawk e Sawl hoi a capanaw ro hah a la awh. Jabesh a pha awh toteh, hawvah a pâeng awh.
Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there,
13 A hru hah a la awh teh, Jabesh e bengkeng thing rahim vah a pakawp awh teh hnin sari touh rawca a hai awh.
And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
