1 Weche Mag Ndalo 10
1 Koro jo-Filistia ne kedo gi jo-Israel kendo jo-Israel noringo e nyimgi kendo joma ngʼeny nonegi e Got Gilboa.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
2 Jo-Filistia nolawo Saulo gi yawuote matek ma neginego yawuote magin Jonathan, Abinadab kod Malki-Shua.
And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 Lweny nobedo mager kama Saulo ne nitie kendo kane jodir asere ojuke, to ne gihinye.
And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
4 Saulo nowacho ni jatingʼne gige lweny niya, “Wuodh liganglani mondo inega nono to joma ok oter nyangigi biro nega kendo yanya.” To jatingʼne gige lweny ne luoro omako kendo ne ok onyal timo kamano, omiyo Saulo nokawo liganglane owuon mochwoworego.
And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 Kane jatingʼ gige lweny oneno ka Saulo osetho en bende nokawo liganglane mochwoworego motho kode.
And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
6 Kamano, Saulo gi yawuote adek kod joode duto notho kaachiel.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
7 Kane jo-Israel duto mane nitie e holo noneno ka jolweny oseringo, kendo ni Saulo gi yawuote bende nosetho, negijwangʼo miechgi ma giringo. Kendo jo-Filistia nobiro modak e miechgigo.
And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.
8 Kinyne kane jo-Filistia obiro mondo oyak gige joma otho, negiyudo Saulo gi yawuote kotho e Got Gilboa.
And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
9 Ne gilonyo lepe kendo ne gikaw wiye gi gige mag lweny, bangʼe negioro joote e piny jo-Filistia duto mondo oter wach ne nyisechegi kendo ni jopinygi.
And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10 Negiketo gige mag lweny e hekalu mar nyisechegi, to wiye, to negiliero e hekalu mar Dagon.
And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
11 Kane jo-Jabesh Gilead nowinjo gik moko duto mane jo-Filistia osetimo ni Saulo,
And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 thuondigi duto nodhi mokawo ringre Saulo kod ringre yawuote ma gikelogi Jabesh. Eka ne giyiko chokegi e tiend yien maduongʼ mar ober man Jabesh, bangʼe to negitweyo chiemo kuom ndalo abiriyo.
All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saulo notho nikech ne ok orito singruokne gi Jehova Nyasaye. Ne ok orito chike Jehova Nyasaye, kendo nodhi mana ir jo-nyakalondo mondo onyise wach,
So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
14 kar penjo Jehova Nyasaye wach. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonege mokawo loch omiyo Daudi wuod Jesse.
And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
