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.
Wafilisti wakapigana dhidi ya Israeli. Kila mwanaume wa Israeli alikimbia Wafilisti na kuanguka na kufa katika Mlima Giliboa.
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 waliwakimbiza Sauli na mwanae. Waflisti walimuua Yonathani, Abinadabu, na Malichishua, wana wake.
3 And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
Pambano lilikuwa zito kwa Sauli, na wapiga mishale wakamshambulia. Alipatwa na maumivu makali sababu ya wapiga mishale.
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.
Kisha Sauli akasema kwa mbeba ngao wake, “Vuta upanga wako na unichome nao. Lasihivyo, hawa wasio tahiriwa watukuja na kunitesa”. Lakini mbeba ngao wake hakutaka, kwa kuwa aliogopa sana. Kwa hiyo Sauli akachukuwa upanga wake na kuuangukia.
5 And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
Mbeba ngao alivyoona kuwa Sauli amekufa, naye akaangukia upanga wake na kufa.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa, na wana wake watatu, wote wa nyumba yake wakafa pamoja.
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.
Kila mwanaume wa Israeli katika bonde alivyoona kuwa wamekimbia, na Sauli na wana wake wamekufa, walitelekeza miji yao na kukimbia. Kisha Wafilisti wakaja na kuishi 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.
Ikawa siku inayofuata, Wafilisti walipo kuja kukagua wafu, walimkuta Sauli na wana wake wameanguka katika Mlima Giliboa.
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 nguo zote na kuchukuwa kichwa chake na ngao yake. Wakatuma wajumbe wapeleke habari Filistia yote kwa miungu yao na watu wote.
10 And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
Ngao yake wakaeka ndani ya hekalu la miungu yao, na kichwa chake waka kining'iniza 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,
Yabeshi Gileadi yote ilipo sikia Wafilisti waliyo mtendea 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.
wanaume wote wa vita wakaenda na kuchukuwa mwili wa Sauli na hiyo ya wanae, na kuirejesha Yabeshi. Walizika mifupa yao chini ya mti huko Yabeshi na wakafunga 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,
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa kwa kuwa hakuwa mwaminifu kwa Yahweh. Hakutii maelekezo ya Yahweh, lakini akauliza ushauri kwa mtu anaye ongea na wafu.
14 And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
Hakutafuta mwongozo kwa Yahweh, hivyo Yahweh akamua na kupindua ufalme kwa Daudi mwana wa Yese.
