1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
Tsono Afilisti anachitanso nkhondo ndi Aisraeli ndipo Aisraeli anathawa Afilistiwo, kotero kuti ambiri anaphedwa pa phiri la Gilibowa.
2 And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
Afilisti anapanikiza kwambiri Sauli ndi ana ake, ndipo anapha Yonatani, Abinadabu ndi Maliki-Suwa.
3 And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
Nkhondo inakula kwambiri mozungulira Sauli ndipo pamene anthu amauta anamupeza, anamuvulaza.
4 And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
Tsono Sauli anawuza mnyamata wake wonyamula zida zake kuti, “Solola lupanga lako undiphe, kuopa kuti anthu osachita mdulidwewa angabwere ndi kudzandizunza ine.” Koma mnyamata wonyamula zida uja anachita mantha kwambiri ndipo sanathe kutero. Choncho Sauli anatenga lupanga lake lomwe nagwerapo.
5 And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
Mnyamata wonyamula zida zake uja ataona kuti Sauli wafa, nayenso anadzigwetsera pa lupanga lake nafa.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
Motero Sauli ndi ana ake atatu anafa, pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse anafera limodzi.
7 And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.
Pamene Aisraeli onse amene anali mʼchigwa anaona kuti gulu lankhondo lathawa komanso kuti Sauli ndi ana ake aphedwa, nawonso anathawa kusiya mizinda yawo. Ndipo Afilisti anabwera kudzakhalamo.
8 And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
Mmawa mwake, Afilisti atabwera kudzatenga zinthu za anthu ophedwa, anapeza Sauli ndi ana ake atafa pa phiri la Gilibowa.
9 And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
Iwo anamuvula zovala zake, natenga mutu wake ndi zida zake zankhondo. Ndipo anatumiza amithenga mʼdziko lonse la Afilisti kukafalitsa nkhani yabwinoyi kwa mafano awo ndi kwa anthu awo.
10 And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
Iwo anayika zida zake zankhondo mʼnyumba zopembedzera milungu yawo ndipo anapachika mutu wake mʼnyumba ya Dagoni.
11 And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Pamene anthu onse okhala ku Yabesi Giliyadi anamva zimene Afilisti anachitira Sauli,
12 All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
anthu awo onse olimba mtima anapita kukatenga mitembo ya Sauli ndi ana ake ndipo anabwera nayo ku Yabesi. Anakwirira mafupa awo pansi pa mtengo wabwemba ku Yabesi, ndipo anasala kudya masiku asanu ndi awiri.
13 So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
Sauli anafa chifukwa anali wosakhulupirika pamaso pa Yehova. Iye sanasunge mawu a Yehova, pakuti anakafunsira nzeru kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa,
14 And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
sanafunsire nzeruzo kwa Yehova. Choncho Yehova anamupha ndi kupereka ufumu kwa Davide mwana wa Yese.
