1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
Philisti loh Israel a vathoh thil tih, Israel hlang hlang rhoek tah Philisti mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh. Te vaengah Gilboa tlang ah a rhok la cungku uh.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul’s sons.
Te vaengah Saul neh anih ca rhoek te Philisti loh meh a duep uh tih Saul ca rhoek Jonathan, Abinadab neh Malkhishua te Philisti loh a ngawn pah.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
Saul taengah caemrhal a tlung coeng dongah hlang loh lii a kah neh anih te khoem tong uh. Te dongah lipom hma loh mat a tluek sak.
4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
Te vaengah a hno phuei te Saul loh, “Na cunghang te phong lamtah kai n'thun mai laeh. Amih pumdul rhoek te ha pawk uh vaengah kai n'thun uh vetih m'poelyoe uh ve,” a ti nah. Tedae a hno phuei long tah bahoeng a rhih tih huem pah pawh. Te dongah Saul loh cunghang te a loh tih a bakop thil.
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
Saul a duek te a hno phuei loh a hmuh vaengah amah khaw a thum dongah cungku tih duek.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Hnin at dongah ah Saul neh a ca pathum, a hno phuei neh a hlang rhoek khaw rhenten boeih duek.
7 And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side 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.
Israel hlang rhoek a rhaelrham uh khaw, Saul te a pacaphung ah a duek uh te khaw, khopuei rhoek te a hnoo uh tih a rhaelrham uh dongah Philisti rhoek ha pawk uh tih a khuiah kho a sak uh khaw, tuikol rhalvang neh Jordan rhalvang kah Israel hlang rhoek loh a hmuh uh.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
A vuen ah rhok hloem ham Philisti rhoek ha pawk uh hatah Gilboa tlang ah Saul neh a ca rhoek pathum ana cungku te a hmuh uh.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.
A lu te a tloek pa uh tih a hnopai te a pit uh. Te phoeiah amamih kah muei im neh pilnam taengah phong ham Philisti kaepvai kah kho tom la a tueih uh.
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
A hnopai te Ashtoreth im ah a khueh uh tih a rhok te Bethshan vongtung ah a hen uh.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
Philisti loh Saul a saii te Jabesh Gilead khosa rhoek a yaak.
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 burnt them there.
Te dongah tatthai hlang boeih loh thoo uh tih khoyin khing ah cet uh. Bethshan vongtung lamkah Saul rhok neh a ca rhoek kah rhok te a loh uh. Te phoeiah Jabesh la a khuen uh tih pahoi a tih uh.
13 And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
A rhuh te a khuen uh tih Jabesh kah kolanhlaeng hmuiah a up uh tih hnin rhih a yaeh uh.
