1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel. And the men of Israel fled before the face of the Philistines, and they fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
Koro jo-Filistia ne kedo gi jo-Israel kendo jo-Israel noringo e nyimgi kendo joma ngʼeny nonegi e Got Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines rushed upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Jo-Filistia nolawo Saulo gi yawuote matek, ma neginego yawuote magin Jonathan, Abinadab kod Malki-Shua.
3 And the entire weight of the battle was turned against Saul. And the men who were archers pursued him. And he was severely wounded by the archers.
Lweny nobedo mager kama Saulo ne nitie kendo kane jodir asere ojuke to ne gihinye marach.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise these uncircumcised may come and kill me, mocking me.” And his armor bearer was not willing. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear. And so, Saul took his own sword, and he fell upon it.
Saulo nowacho ni jatingʼne gige lweny niya, “Wuodh liganglani mondo inega, nono to joma ok oter nyangigi biro nega kendo yanya.” To jatingʼne gige lweny ne luoro omako kendo ne ok onyal timo kamano, omiyo Saulo nokawo liganglane owuon mochwoworego.
5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, namely, that Saul had died, he too fell upon his sword, and he died with him.
Kane jatingʼ gige lweny oneno ka Saulo osetho en bende nokawo liganglane mochwoworego motho kode.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
Kamano Saulo gi yawuote adek gi jatingʼne gige lweny kod joode duto notho kaachiel e odiechiengʼno.
7 Then, seeing that the men of the Israelites had fled, and that Saul had died with his sons, the men of Israel who were across the valley or beyond the Jordan abandoned their cities, and they fled. And the Philistines went and lived there.
Kane jo-Israel duto mane nitie e holo to gi mago mane nitie loka aora Jordan noneno ka jolwenj Israel oseringo kendo ni Saulo gi yawuote bende osetho, negijwangʼo miechgi ma giringo. Kendo jo-Filistia nobiro modak e miechgigo.
8 Then, when the next day arrived, the Philistines came, so that they might despoil the slain. And they found Saul and his three sons lying on mount Gilboa.
Kinyne kane jo-Filistia obiro mondo oyak gige joma otho, negiyudo Saulo gi yawuote adek kotho e Got Gilboa.
9 And they cut off the head of Saul. And they despoiled him of the armor, and they sent it into the land of the Philistines all around, so that it might be announced in the temples of the idols and among their people.
Negingʼado wiye oko kendo ne gilonyo gige mag lweny, bangʼe negioro joote e piny jo-Filistia duto ka gioro wach mondo oter wach e hekalu mag nyisechegi kendo ni jopinygi.
10 And they placed his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth. But his body they suspended on the wall of Bethshan.
Negiketo gige mag lweny e hekalu mar Ashtoreth kendo negitweyo ringre e kor ohinga man Beth Shan.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Kane jo-Jabesh Gilead nowinjo gima jo-Filistia osetimo ni Saulo,
12 all the most valiant men rose up, and they walked all night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan. And they went to Jabesh Gilead, and they burned them there.
thuondigi duto nowuok mowuotho otieno duto ka gidhi Beth Shan. Negigonyo ringre Saulo gi yawuote e kor ohinga mar Beth Shan ma negikelogi Jabesh, kuma ne giwangʼogie.
13 And they took their bones, and they buried them in the forest of Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
Eka negikawo chokegi ma giyiko e tiend yath moro man Jabesh, kendo negitweyo chiemo kuom ndalo abiriyo.
