Kings I 31
1 And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
Zvino vaFiristia vakarwa navaIsraeri; vaIsraeri vakatiza pamberi pavo, uye vazhinji vakawira pasi vaurayiwa paGomo reGiribhoa.
2 And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
VaFiristia vakasimbirira kwazvo kuteverera Sauro navanakomana vake, uye vakauraya vanakomana vake, Jonatani, Abhinadhabhi naMariki-Shua.
3 And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
Hondo yakapisa pakanga pana Sauro, uye vapfuri vouta vakati vasvika pedyo naye, vakamukuvadza zvakaipisisa.
4 And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
Sauro akati kune aibata nhumbi dzake dzokurwa nadzo, “Vhomora munondo wako undibaye nawo, kuti ava vasina kudzingiswa varege kuuya vakandibaya uye vakandidadira.” Asi mubati wenhumbi dzake akatya akasazviita; saka Sauro akatora munondo wake akazviwisira pauri.
5 And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
Mubati wenhumbi dzake dzokurwa akati aona kuti Sauro afa, iyewo akawira pamunondo wake akafa.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, in that day together.
Saka Sauro navanakomana vake vatatu nomubati wenhumbi dzake dzokurwa uye navanhu vake vose vakafa pamwe chete pazuva iroro.
7 And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
VaIsraeri vaiva mumupata navose vaiva mhiri kweJorodhani vakati vaona kuti hondo yavaIsraeri yakanga yatiza, uye kuti Sauro navanakomana vake vatatu vakanga vafa, vakasiya maguta avo vakatiza. Saka vaFiristia vakauya vakagaramo.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
Fume mangwana, vaFiristia vakati vachiuya kuzokutunura zvinokosha zvaiva pazvitunha, vakawana Sauro navanakomana vake vatatu vakawirawo pasi vakafa paGomo reGiribhoa.
9 And they turned him, and stripped off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
Vakagura musoro wake vakabvisa nhumbi dzake dzokurwa nadzo, vakatuma nhume munyika yose yavaFiristia kundozivisa mashoko aya kutemberi yezvifananidzo zvavo uye napakati pavanhu vavo.
10 And they set up his armour at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
Vakaisa nhumbi dzake dzokurwa mutemberi yaAshitoreti vakasungirira chitunha chake pamasvingo eBheti Shani.
11 And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
Vanhu vokuJabheshi Gireadhi vakati vanzwa zvakanga zvaitwa navaFiristia kuna Sauro,
12 And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
mhare dzavo dzose dzakasimuka dzikafamba usiku hwose dzichienda kuBheti Shani. Vakaburutsa mitumbi yaSauro navanakomana vake kubva pamasvingo eBheti Shani vakaenda kuJabheshi, kwavakandoipisa.
13 And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
Ipapo vakatora mapfupa avo vakaaviga pasi pomuti womutamariki paJabheshi, uye vakatsanya kwamazuva manomwe.
