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.
Moun Filisti yo leve yon sèl batay ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou mòn Gilboa. Anpil nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mouri, rès yo te kouri met deyò.
2 And the Philistines rushed upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Moun Filisti yo rive sou Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo. Yo touye Jonatan, Abinadad ak Malchichwa frèt.
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.
Batay la te mangonmen kote Sayil te ye a. Mesye ki t'ap voye flèch nan banza yo te konmanse ap vize sou li. Lè li wè sa, li pran tranble.
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.
Li rele gad ki t'ap pote zam li yo, li di l' konsa: -Rale nepe ou, touye m' pou bann moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pa gen tan rive sou mwen pou se yo ki touye m', lèfini pou yo pase m' nan betiz. Men gad kò a pa t' vle paske li te pè anpil. Lè sa a, Sayil pran nepe a, li vire l' tèt anba, li lage kò l' sou li.
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.
Lè gad kò a wè Sayil mouri, li fè menm bagay la tou, li lage kò l' sou nepe li a. Li mouri ansanm avèk Sayil.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
Se konsa, ni Sayil, ni twa pitit gason l' yo, ni gad kò a te mouri. Jou sa a, tout mesye Sayil yo te mouri.
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.
Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te rete lòt bò Fon Jizreyèl la ak lòt bò larivyè Jouden wè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo kouri mèt deyò epi Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo mouri, yo leve kite lavil kote yo te rete yo, yo mete deyò tou. Moun Filisti yo vini, yo pran lavil yo pou yo.
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.
Nan denmen apre batay la, moun Filisti yo tounen pou pran zam ki te sou kadav sòlda mouri yo, yo jwenn kadav Sayil ak kadav twa pitit gason l' yo kouche atè sou mòn Gilboa a.
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.
Yo koupe tèt Sayil, yo pran tout zam li yo. Lèfini, yo voye gaye bon nouvèl sa a nan tout peyi Filisti a, nan tanp zidòl yo ak nan zòrèy tout pèp la.
10 And they placed his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth. But his body they suspended on the wall of Bethshan.
Yo mete zam Sayil yo nan tanp Astate, zidòl yo a. Epi yo pran rès kò a, yo kloure l' sou miray lavil Bèt Chean an.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Lè moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, vin konnen sa moun Filisti yo te fè Sayil,
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.
tout mesye ki te brave danje yo leve, yo mache tout lannwit jouk yo rive lavil Bèt Chean, yo desann kadav Sayil la ak kadav pitit gason l' yo ki te kloure sou miray lavil la, yo tounen ak yo lavil Jabès, kote yo boule yo.
13 And they took their bones, and they buried them in the forest of Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
Lèfini, yo pran zosman yo, yo antere yo anba pye tonmaren ki nan lavil Jabès la. Apre sa, yo pase sèt jou san manje.
