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.
Afei, Filistifo no ko tiaa Israel. Israelfo no guanee wɔ wɔn anim, na wokunkum pii wɔ Gilboa bepɔw so.
2 And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
Filistifo no kɔɔ Saulo ne ne mmabarima so, kunkum wɔn mu baasa a ɛyɛ Yonatan, Abinadab ne Malki-Sua.
3 And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
Ɔko no mu yɛɛ den wɔ baabi a na Saulo wɔ hɔ. Filistifo agyantowfo no bɛn no, na wopiraa no kɛse pa ara.
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.
Saulo fi yaw mu ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodekurafo no se, “Twe wʼafoa no, na fa wɔ me, na wɔn a wontwaa twetia no amfa wɔn afoa ammɛwɔ me, angu mʼanim ase.” Na nʼakodekurafo no suroo sɛ ɔbɛyɛ saa. Enti Saulo twee ɔno ankasa afoa sinaa ne ho wɔ so.
5 And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
Bere a nʼakodekurafo no huu sɛ wawu no, ɔno nso sinaa ne ho wɔ nʼankasa afoa no so, na owu kaa ne ho.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, in that day together.
Enti Saulo ne ne mma mmarima baasa, nʼakodekurafo ne nʼakofo nyinaa totɔɔ saa da no.
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.
Bere a Israelfo a wɔwɔ Yesreel bon no fa baabi ne Yordan agya no huu sɛ Israel asraafo no adi nkogu, na Saulo nso ne ne mmabarima no nso atotɔ no, wogyaw wɔn nkurow hɔ guanee. Na Filistifo no bɛtenaa hɔ.
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.
Ade kyee a Filistifo koyiyii atɔfo no ho no, wohuu Saulo ne ne mmabarima baasa no amu wɔ Gilboa bepɔw so.
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.
Enti wotwaa Saulo ti, yiyii nʼakode nyinaa. Afei, wɔbɔɔ Saulo wu no dawuru wɔ wɔn abosomfi, ne ɔman no mu nyinaa.
10 And they set up his armor at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
Wɔde nʼakode no koguu Astoret nsɔree so, na wɔkyekyeree nʼamu no fam kuropɔn Bet-San fasu ho.
11 And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
Na Yabes Gileadfo tee nea Filistifo ayɛ Saulo no,
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.
wɔn akofo twaa kwan anadwo mu no nyinaa kɔɔ Bet-San kɔfaa Saulo ne ne mmabarima baasa no amu fii ɔfasu no ho. Wɔde kɔɔ Yabes bɛhyew wɔn.
13 And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
Afei, wɔfaa wɔn nnompe kɔkoraa no odum dua no ase wɔ Yabes, na wodii mmuada nnanson.
