1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
Ary ny Filistina niady tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary nandositra teo anoloan’ ny Filistina ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, ary niampatrampatra teny an-tendrombohitra Gilboa ny faty.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Ary ny Filistina nanenjika mafy an’ i Saoly sy ny zanany, ka matin’ ny Filistina Jonatana sy Abinadaba ary Malkisoa, zanak’ i Saoly.
3 When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him critically.
Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ i Saoly, dia nifanehatra tamin’ ny mpandefa tsipìka izy; ary raiki-tahotra indrindra izy noho ny mpandefa tsipìka.
4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and run me through and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany: Tsoahy ny sabatrao, ka tsatohy miboroaka aho, fandrao avy irery tsy mifora irery ka hotsatohany miboroaka aho, dia hataony ho fihomehezana. Nefa tsy nety ny mpitondra ny fiadany, fa natahotra loatra izy. Dia nalain’ i Saoly ny sabatra ka nianjerany.
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died with him.
Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany fa maty Saoly, dia mba nianjera tamin’ ny sabany koa izy ka niara-maty taminy.
6 So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day.
Ka dia niara-maty androtrizay ihany Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy sy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany ary ny olony rehetra.
7 When the Israelites along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan saw that the army of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
Ary nony hitan’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely teny an-dafin’ ny lohasaha sy teny an-dafin’ i Jordana fa nandositra ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, ary maty Saoly sy ny zanany, dia niala tao an-tanàna izy ka nandositra; ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nonina tao.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Ary nony ampitso, raha tonga haka ny zavatra teo amin’ ny maty ny Filistina, dia nahita an’ i Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy niampatrampatra teo an-tendrombohitra Gilboa izy.
9 They cut off Saul’s head, stripped off his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temples of their idols and among their people.
Ary notapahiny ny lohany, sady nalainy ny fiadiany, ary dia naniraka tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina manodidina izy hanambara izany zavatra mahafaly izany ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny sampiny sy amin’ ny olona.
10 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
Dia napetrany tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Astarta ny fiadiany; ary ny fatiny nohomboany teo amin’ ny màndan’ i Beti-sana.
11 When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ary nony ren’ ny mponina tany Jabesi-gileada izay nataon’ ny Filistina tamin’ i Saoly,
12 all their men of valor set out, journeyed all night, and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they arrived at Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.
dia niainga ny lehilahy mahery rehetra ka nandeha mandritra ny alina ary naka ny fatin’ i Saoly sy ny fatin’ ny zanany teo amin’ ny màndan’ i Beti-sana; ary tonga tao Jabesy izy ka nandoro azy tao.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
Ary nentiny ny taolany ka naleviny tao ambanin’ ilay hazo tamariska tao Jabesy, ary dia nifady hanina hafitoana izy.
