Kings I 31
1 And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
Pea ko eni, naʻe tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai Filisitia: pea naʻe hola ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe tō ʻo mate [ʻakinautolu ]ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
2 And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
Pea naʻe tuli mālohi ʻe he kakai Filisitia, ʻa Saula mo hono ngaahi foha: pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Sonatane ʻe he kakai Filisitia, mo ʻApinatapi, mo Malikisua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Saula.
3 And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
Pea naʻe hoko mālohi ʻae tau kia Saula, pea naʻe touʻia ia ʻi he kau tangata fakakaufana; pea kafo mamahi ia ʻi he kau tangata fakakaufana.
4 And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki hono hoa tau, “Unuhi hake hoʻo heletā, ʻo tui ʻaki au ke ʻasi; telia naʻa haʻu ʻae kakai taʻekamu ni, ʻo tui ʻaki au, pea manukiʻi au.” Ka naʻe ʻikai fiefai ia ʻe hono hoa tau; he naʻe manavahē lahi ia. Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Saula ʻae heletā, pea ne fakahinga ia ki ai.
5 And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe hono hoa tau kuo mate ʻa Saula, naʻe fakahinga foki ia ki heʻene heletā, pea mate fakataha mo ia.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, in that day together.
Ko ia naʻe mate ai ʻa Saula mo hono foha ʻe toko tolu, mo hono hoa tau, mo hono kau tangata kotoa pē fakataha ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia.
7 And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻoe teleʻa, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, kuo hola ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli, pea kuo pekia ʻa Saula mo hono ngaahi foha, naʻa nau liʻaki ʻenau ngaahi kolo nofoʻanga, pea hola; pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻo nofo ki ai.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
Pea pongipongi hake naʻe pehē, ʻi he haʻu ʻae kau Filisitia ke vete ʻae kakai mate, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa Saula mo hono foha ʻe toko tolu kuo tō ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
9 And they turned him, and stripped off his armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
Pea naʻa nau tutuʻu hono ʻulu, pea toʻo ʻene mahafutau, pea fekau ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻo takatakai, ke fakaongo ia ʻi he fale ʻo honau ngaahi tamapua, pea ki honau kakai.
10 And they set up his armor at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
Pea naʻa nau ʻai hono ngaahi kofu tau ki he fale ʻo ʻAsitelote: pea naʻa nau fakamaʻu hono sino ki he ʻā maka ʻo Pete-Sani.
11 And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai Sepesi-Kiliati ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe he kakai Filisitia kia Saula;
12 And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, pea fononga ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia, ʻonau toʻo ʻae sino ʻo Saula mo e sino ʻo hono ngaahi foha mei he ʻā maka ʻo Pete-Sani pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Sepesi ʻo tutu ia ʻi ai.
13 And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
Pea naʻa nau toʻo honau ngaahi hui, pea tanu ia ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻi Sepesi, pea naʻa nau ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
