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.
Basi Wafilisti wakapigana na Israeli. Waisraeli wakawakimbia, na wengi wakauawa katika mlima Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
Wafilisti wakawafuatia kwa bidii Sauli na wanawe, wakawaua Yonathani, Abinadabu na Malki-Shua.
3 And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
Mapigano yakawa makali kumzunguka Sauli na wakati wapiga mishale walipompata, wakamjeruhi.
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.
Sauli akamwambia mbeba silaha wake, “Futa upanga wako unichome nao, la sivyo hawa watu wasiotahiriwa watakuja na kunidhalilisha.” Lakini mbeba silaha wake akaogopa sana wala hakuweza kufanya hivyo. Kwa hiyo Sauli akachukua upanga wake mwenyewe na kuuangukia.
5 And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
Mbeba silaha wake alipoona kwamba Sauli amekufa, naye pia akauangukia upanga wake akafa.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
Kwa hiyo Sauli na wanawe watatu wakafa, pamoja na nyumba yake yote.
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.
Waisraeli wote waliokuwa bondeni walipoona kwamba jeshi limekimbia na kwamba Sauli na wanawe wamekufa, waliacha miji yao wakakimbia. Nao Wafilisti wakaja na kukaa humo.
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.
Kesho yake Wafilisti walipokuja kuwavua maiti silaha, walimkuta Sauli na wanawe wameanguka katika Mlima Gilboa.
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.
Wakamvua mavazi, wakachukua kichwa chake pamoja na silaha zake, wakawatuma wajumbe katika nchi yote ya Wafilisti kutangaza habari hizi miongoni mwa sanamu zao na watu wao.
10 And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
Waliweka silaha zake katika hekalu la miungu yao, wakatundika kichwa chake katika hekalu la Dagoni.
11 And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Wakazi wote wa Yabeshi-Gileadi waliposikia yote Wafilisti waliyomtendea 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.
mashujaa wao wote wakaondoka, wakautwaa mwili wa Sauli na miili ya wanawe, wakaileta Yabeshi. Wakaizika mifupa yao chini ya mti mkubwa huko Yabeshi, nao wakafunga kwa siku saba.
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 alikufa kwa sababu hakuwa mwaminifu kwa Bwana. Hakulishika neno la Bwana, hata akataka shauri kwa mwaguzi kwa ajili ya uongozi,
14 And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
hakumuuliza Bwana. Kwa hiyo Bwana alimuua, na ufalme akampa Daudi mwana wa Yese.
