< 1 Chronicles 10 >

1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
Pea ko eni, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he kakai Filisitia ki ʻIsileli; pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea naʻa nau tō hifo ʻo lavea ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Pea naʻe tuli mālohi ʻe he kakai Filisitia kia Saula pea mo hono ngaahi foha; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻa Sonatane, mo ʻApinatapi, mo Malikisua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Saula.
3 The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
Pea naʻe mālohi lahi ʻae tau kia Saula, pea naʻe fanaʻi ia ʻe he kau toʻo meʻa fana, pea naʻe lavea ia ʻe he kau tangata fana.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe Saula ki hono tangata toʻo mahafutau, “Unuhi mai hoʻo heletā, pea ke tui ʻaki au ke ʻasi; telia naʻa haʻu ʻae kau taʻekamu na mo nau manuki kiate au.” Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fai ia ʻe hono tangata toʻo mahafutau; he naʻa ne manavahē lahi. Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Saula ha heletā, mo ne hinga atu ki ai.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe hono tangata toʻo mahafutau kuo mate ʻa Saula, naʻa ne hinga foki ia ki he heletā, mone mate ai.
6 So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
Ko ia, naʻe mate ʻa Saula, pea mo hono ngaahi foha ʻe toko tolu, pea mate fakataha mo hono fale kotoa pē.
7 When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he potu talalo, ki heʻenau feholaki, pea kuo mate ʻa Saula pea mo hono ngaahi foha, naʻa nau toki liʻaki honau ngaahi kolo, mo nau hola: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Filisitia mo nofo atu ki ai.
8 On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he pongipongi naʻe feholoi, ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange ʻae kakai Filisitia ke vete ʻae ngaahi kofu mei he kakai mate, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa Saula pea mo hono ngaahi foha kuo tō hifo ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the people.
Pea ʻosi ʻenau fakatelefuaʻi ia, naʻa nau toʻo ʻa hono ʻulu, mo hono mahafu, mo nau fekau atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he potu fulipē, ke fanongonongo hono tala ki honau ngaahi tamapua, pea mo e kakai.
10 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
Pea naʻa nau tuku ʻa hono mahafu ki he fale ʻo honau ngaahi ʻotua, mo nau tautau ʻa hono ʻulu ʻi he fale tapu ʻo Takoni.
11 When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Pea ʻi heʻene ongo atu ki Sepesi-Kiliati kotoa pē ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai kia Saula ʻe he kakai Filisitia,
12 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.
Naʻa nau tuʻu hake, ʻae kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, ʻonau ʻave ʻae sino ʻo Saula, mo e sino ʻo hono ngaahi foha, mo nau ʻomi ia ki Sepesi, pea naʻa nau tanu ʻa honau ngaahi hui ʻi he lolo ʻoke ʻi Sepesi, pea [naʻa nau ]ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
13 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he did not keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
Ko ia, naʻe mate ʻa Saula koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fai angahala ai kia Sihova, mo ʻene talangataʻa ai ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ki ai, pea koeʻuhi foki ko ʻene fakafehuʻi ki ha taha naʻe kau mo e laumālie kovi ke fakaongo ki ai:
14 and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
‌ʻO ʻikai fakaongo ia kia Sihova: ko ia naʻa ne tāmateʻi ai ia, mo ne fakafoki atu ʻae puleʻanga kia Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese.
