1 Chronicles 10
1 Then the Philistims fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistims, and fell downe slaine in mount Gilboa.
Azɔ la, Filistitɔwo dze aʋa la wɔwɔ gɔme kple Israelviwo eye Israelviwo si le wo nu. Wowu Israelvi geɖewo le Gilboa to dzi.
2 And the Philistims pursued after Saul and after his sonnes, and the Philistims smote Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua the sonnes of Saul.
Filistitɔwo ɖe Saul kple viawo ɖe nu eye wowu viawo; Yonatan, Abinadab kple Malki Sua.
3 And the battel was sore against Saul; and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
Aʋa la nu sẽ ŋutɔ na Saul eye esi aŋutrɔdalawo tui la wode abi eŋu vevie.
4 Then sayde Saul to his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust me thorowe therewith, lest these vncircumcised come and mocke at me: but his armour bearer would not, for he was sore afraid: therefore Saul tooke the sword and fell vpon it.
Saul gblɔ na eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla be, “Ɖe wò yi ɖe go nàƒoe ɖem, ne menye nenem o la, Filistitɔ, aʋamatsomatsoetɔ siawo ava wum eye woado vlom.” Ke vɔvɔ̃ ɖo eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla la ŋutɔ eye melɔ̃ be yeawɔ Saul ƒe gbe dzi o. Eya ta Saul tsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe yi hedze enu.
5 And when his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon the sworde, and dyed.
Esi eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla la kpɔ be eku la, eya hã wu eɖokui nenema ke.
6 So Saul dyed and his three sonnes, and all his house, they dyed together.
Ale Saul kple Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo ku gbe ɖeka eye ƒome blibo la tsrɔ̃.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley, sawe how they fledde, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, they forsooke their cities, and fled away, and the Philistims came, and dwelt in them.
Esime Israelvi siwo nɔ balime la le toa te se be wowu yewoƒe aʋawɔlawo eye Saul kple viawo hã ku la, wosi dzo le woƒe duwo me eye Filistitɔwo va nɔ duawo me.
8 And on the morrowe when the Philistims came to spoyle them that were slaine, they found Saul and his sonnes lying in mount Gilboa.
Esi ŋu ke eye Filistitɔwo yi be woaɖe nuwo le Israel ƒe ame kukuwo ŋu la, wokpɔ Saul kple Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo ƒe kukuawo le Gilboa to la dzi.
9 And when they had stript him, they tooke his head and his armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistims round about, to publish it vnto their idoles, and to the people.
Woɖe Saul ƒe aʋawu le eŋu, tso ta le enu eye wotsɔ eƒe ta kple aʋawɔnu fia amewo le woƒe anyigba dzi godoo. Wotso aseye le dzidzɔnya sia ŋuti le woƒe legbawo kple dukɔmetɔwo ŋkume.
10 And they layd vp his armour in the house of their god, and set vp his head in the house of Dagon.
Wotsɔ Saul ƒe akpoxɔnu da ɖe woƒe mawuwo ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wotsɔ eƒe ta ku gli ŋu le Dagon ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
11 When all they of Iabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistims had done to Saul,
Esi Yabes Gileadtɔwo se nu si Filistitɔwo wɔ Saul la,
12 Then they arose (all the valiant men) and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, and brought them to Iabesh, and buryed the bones of them vnder an oke in Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
woƒe aʋawɔlawo katã yi aʋagbea dzi eye wotsɔ eƒe kukua kple viawo tɔwo gbɔ va Yabes. Woɖi wo ɖe ati gã aɖe te le Yabes eye wofa wo ŋkeke adre sɔŋ.
13 So Saul dyed for his transgression, that he committed against the Lord, euen against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and in that he sought and asked counsel of a familiar spirit,
Saul ku le eƒe tomaɖomaɖo Yehowa kple ale si wòyɔ ŋɔli bia gbee se ta.
14 And asked not of the Lord: therefore he slewe him, and turned the kingdome vnto Dauid the sonne of Ishai.
Ke esi mebia Yehowa be wòafia nu si yeawɔ o la ta, Yehowa na wòku eye wòtsɔ eƒe fiaɖuƒe la na David, Yese ƒe vi.
