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.
Afei, Filistifoɔ no bɛto hyɛɛ Israel so, ma Israelfoɔ no dwaneeɛ. Wɔkunkumm wɔn mu pii wɔ bepɔ Gilboa so.
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.
Filistifoɔ no kaa Saulo ne ne mmammarima hyɛeɛ. Wɔkunkumm wɔn mu baasa a wɔn ne Yonatan, Abinadab ne Malki-Sua.
3 And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
Ɔko no ano yɛɛ den wɔ Saulo ho hyiaaɛ, ma Filistifoɔ agyantofoɔ no nyaa Saulo piraa no yie.
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.
Saulo firi apenesie mu ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodeɛkurafoɔ no sɛ, “Twe wʼakofena, na fa wɔ me kum me na Filistifoɔ abosonsomfoɔ yi ammɛto me, angu mʼanim ase.” Nanso, na nʼakodeɛkurafoɔ no suro enti, wanyɛ saa. Enti, Saulo twee ɔno ara nʼakofena, de kumm ne ho.
5 And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
Ɛberɛ a nʼakodeɛkurafoɔ no hunuu sɛ Saulo awuo no, ɔno nso de nʼakofena kumm ne ho.
6 So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end together.
Ɛno enti, Saulo ne ne mmammarima baasa no wuwuu wɔ hɔ ara, ma nʼahennie nnidisoɔ no baa awieeɛ.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yesreel bɔnhwa no mu no hunuu sɛ wɔadi wɔn akodɔm no so, na Saulo ne ne mmammarima baasa no awuwu no, wɔdwane gyaa wɔn nkuro hɔ. Ɛno enti, Filistifoɔ no kɔfaa wɔn nkuro no.
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.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Filistifoɔ no kɔɔ sɛ wɔrekɔyiyi atɔfoɔ no ho nneɛma no, wɔhunuu sɛ Saulo ne ne mmammarima no amu gugu bepɔ Gilboa so.
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.
Enti, wɔyiyii Saulo akodeɛ firii ne ho, twaa ne ti. Afei wɔbɔɔ Saulo wuo no ho dawuro, maa wɔn ahoni ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia nyinaa teeɛ.
10 And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
Wɔde nʼakodeɛ no guu wɔn anyame no abosonnan mu, na wɔkyekyeree ne ti no fam Dagon asɔredan no ɔfasuo ho.
11 And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Nanso, Yabes Gileadfoɔ tee deɛ Filistifoɔ ayɛ Saulo no,
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.
wɔn akofoɔ kɔfaa Saulo ne ne mmammarima baasa no amu baa Yabes. Na wɔsiee wɔn amu wɔ odum dua bi a ɛwɔ Yabes ase, na wɔdii mmuada nnanson.
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,
Na Saulo wuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wanni Awurade nokorɛ. Wanni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so, na mpo, ɔkɔɔ asamanfrɛ,
14 And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
wɔ ɛberɛ a anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbisa akwankyerɛ firi Awurade hɔ. Ɛno enti, Awurade kumm no, de nʼahennie hyɛɛ Yisai babarima Dawid nsa.
