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 slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Jo-Filistia nolawo Saulo gi yawuote matek ma neginego yawuote magin Jonathan, Abinadab kod Malki-Shua.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed 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.
The battle grew fierce against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was wounded by 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.
Then said Saul to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and torture me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
5 Kane jatingʼ gige lweny oneno ka Saulo osetho en bende nokawo liganglane mochwoworego motho kode.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on 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 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.
When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 Kinyne kane jo-Filistia obiro mondo oyak gige joma otho, negiyudo Saulo gi yawuote kotho e Got Gilboa.
It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that 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.
They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
10 Negiketo gige mag lweny e hekalu mar nyisechegi, to wiye, to negiliero e hekalu mar Dagon.
They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Kane jo-Jabesh Gilead nowinjo gik moko duto mane jo-Filistia osetimo ni Saulo,
When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard 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 arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and 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 trespass which he committed against YHWH, because of the word of YHWH, which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire thereby,
14 kar penjo Jehova Nyasaye wach. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonege mokawo loch omiyo Daudi wuod Jesse.
and did not inquire of YHWH: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
