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 before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
2 Jo-Filistia nolawo Saulo gi yawuote matek ma neginego yawuote magin Jonathan, Abinadab kod Malki-Shua.
And the Philistines pursuing them overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
3 Lweny nobedo mager kama Saulo ne nitie kendo kane jodir asere ojuke, to ne gihinye.
And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
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 armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid: wherefore Saul took the sword and fell upon it.
5 Kane jatingʼ gige lweny oneno ka Saulo osetho en bende nokawo liganglane mochwoworego motho kode.
And when the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise on the sword, and died.
6 Kamano, Saulo gi yawuote adek kod joode duto notho kaachiel.
Thus died Saul and his three sons; and all his household died 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 all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead: they forsook their cities, and fled, 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.
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 they stripped him, and they carried away his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
10 Negiketo gige mag lweny e hekalu mar nyisechegi, to wiye, to negiliero e hekalu mar Dagon.
And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and his skull they fastened in the temple of Dagon.
11 Kane jo-Jabesh Gilead nowinjo gik moko duto mane jo-Filistia osetimo ni Saulo,
And when all Yabesh-gil'ad heard all 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.
Then arose all the valiant men, and carried away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh; and they buried their bones under the terebinth in Yabesh, 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,
And [so] died Saul for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he had not kept, and also for asking one of a familiar spirit to inquire of the same;
14 kar penjo Jehova Nyasaye wach. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonege mokawo loch omiyo Daudi wuod Jesse.
And had not inquired of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned over the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
