< 1 Chronicles 10 >

1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel; and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.
Awo Abafirisuuti ne balumba Isirayiri, abasajja Abayisirayiri ne babadduka era bangi ku bo ne battibwa ku Lusozi Girubowa.
2 And the Philistines went hard after Saul and his sons, and put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
Abafirisuuti ne bagobera ddala Sawulo ne batabani be, era batabani be Yonasaani, ne Abinadaabu ne Malukisiwa ne battibwa.
3 And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
Olutalo ne lweyongerera ddala ne Sawulo ne yeeraliikirira nnyo, anti n’abalasi nga bamutuseeko era baamulasa n’alumizibwa.
4 Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, falling on it himself.
Awo Sawulo n’agamba eyamusituliranga ebyokulwanyisa bye nti, “Sowola ekitala kyo, onfumite, ng’abasajja abo abatali bakomole tebannajja ku nswaza.” Naye eyamusituliranga ebyokulwanyisa bye n’atya nnyo, era n’agaana. Sawulo kyeyava asowolayo ekitala kye n’akigwako.
5 And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
Awo eyamusituliranga ebyokulwanyisa bwe yalaba nga Sawulo afudde, naye n’asowolayo ekikye ne yetta.
6 So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end together.
Sawulo n’afa bw’atyo ne batabani be bonsatule, era n’abo mu nnyumba ye bonna ne bafa.
7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the men of Israel had gone in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they went in flight away from their towns; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.
Awo Abayisirayiri bonna abaali mu kiwonvu, bwe baalaba ng’eggye lyabwe lidduse, nga ne Sawulo ne batabani be bafudde, ne baleka ebibuga byabwe ne badduka, Abafirisuuti ne bajja ne babibeeramu.
8 Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in Mount Gilboa.
Enkeera, Abafirisuuti bwe bajja okwambula abafudde, ne basanga Sawulo ne batabani be nga bafiiridde ku Lusozi Girubowa.
9 And they took everything off him, and took his head and his war-dress, and sent word into the land of the Philistines round about to give the news to their gods and to the people.
Ne bamwambula, ne bamuggyako ebyokulwanyisa bye, ne bamutemako omutwe, era ne batuma n’ababaka okuddayo mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti okubategeeza amawulire ago.
10 And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
Ne bateeka ebyokulwanyisa bya Sawulo mu ssabo lya bakatonda baabwe, ate n’omutwe gwe ne guwanikibwa mu ssabo lya Dagoni.
11 And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Awo ab’e Yabesugireyaadi bonna bwe baawulira byonna Abafirisuuti bye baakola Sawulo,
12 All the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for seven days.
abasajja abazira mu bo ne bagenda ne baggyayo omulambo gwa Sawulo n’eggya batabani be, ne bagireeta e Yabesi. Ne baziika amagumba gaabwe wansi w’omwera e Yabesi, era ne basiibira ennaku musanvu.
13 So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,
Bw’atyo Sawulo n’afa olw’obutaba mwesigwa eri Mukama, n’obutakwata kigambo kya Mukama, ate n’okulagulwa omusamize n’amwebuuzaako,
14 And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
mu kifo ky’okwebuuza ku Mukama. Mukama kyeyava atta Sawulo n’obwakabaka n’abuwa Dawudi mutabani wa Yese.
