1 Samuel 31
1 And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
Bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kobundisa Isalaele, kasi bato ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso na bango mpe mingi kati na bango bakufaki na ngomba Giliboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
Bato ya Filisitia balandaki Saulo elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, kasi babomaki bana na ye ya mibali: Jonatan, Abinadabi mpe Maliki-Shuwa.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers.
Bongo bitumba ekomaki mpo na koboma Saulo. Tango basoda oyo babundaka na matolotolo bamonaki Saulo, ye Saulo alengaki na somo.
4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
Saulo alobaki na soda oyo amemaki bibundeli na ye: « Bimisa mopanga na yo na ebombelo na yango mpe boma ngai, noki te bato oyo bakatama ngenga te bakoya kotuba ngai mpe kosakanela ngai. » Kasi soda oyo amemaki bibundeli na ye aboyaki, pamba te azalaki kobanga. Bongo Saulo akamataki mopanga na ye mpe amibwakaki na likolo na yango.
5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him.
Tango soda oyo amemaki bibundeli na ye amonaki ete Saulo akufi, ye mpe amibwakaki na likolo ya mopanga na ye mpe akufaki elongo na Saulo.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Ezalaki bongo nde Saulo, bana na ye misato ya mibali, soda oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye mpe basoda na ye nyonso bakufaki bango nyonso elongo mokolo wana.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on this side of the valley, and [they] that were on this side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Tango bato ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya lubwaku mpe ba-oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani bamonaki ete mampinga ya Isalaele esili kopanzana, mpe ete Saulo mpe bana na ye ya mibali bakufi, basundolaki bingumba na bango mpe bakimaki. Bato ya Filisitia bayaki kovanda na bingumba yango.
8 And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
Na mokolo oyo elendaki, tango bato ya Filisitia bayaki mpo na kolongola biloko oyo ezalaki na banzoto ya bibembe, bamonaki Saulo mpe bana na ye misato ya mibali oyo bakufaki na ngomba Giliboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings in the houses of their idols, and to the people.
Bakataki moto ya Saulo, bazwaki bibundeli na ye mpe batindaki bato na mokili mobimba ya bato ya Filisitia mpo ete bapanza sango malamu oyo ya elonga kati na tempelo ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe kati na bato na bango.
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
Batiaki bibundeli ya Saulo kati na tempelo ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, Asitarite, mpe badiembikaki nzoto na ye na mir ya Beti-Sheani.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Tango bavandi ya Yabeshi kati na Galadi bayokaki makambo oyo bato ya Filisitia basalaki Saulo,
12 all the valiant men arose and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burned them there.
bilombe na bango nyonso batelemaki mpe batambolaki butu mobimba mpo na kokoma na Beti-Sheani. Bongo sima na bango kokitisa bibembe ya Saulo mpe ya bana na ye ya mibali wuta na mir, bazongaki na Yabeshi epai wapi batumbaki yango.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
Bazwaki mikuwa na bango, bakundaki yango na Yabeshi, na se ya nzete ya tamarisi, mpe bakilaki bilei mikolo sambo.
