1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
Basi Wafilisti wakapigana na Israeli. Waisraeli wakawakimbia, na wengi wakauawa katika mlima Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines pursuing them overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
Wafilisti wakawafuatia kwa bidii Sauli na wanawe, wakawaua Yonathani, Abinadabu na Malki-Shua.
3 And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
Mapigano yakawa makali kumzunguka Sauli na wakati wapiga mishale walipompata, wakamjeruhi.
4 And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid: wherefore Saul took the sword and fell upon it.
Sauli akamwambia mbeba silaha wake, “Futa upanga wako unichome nao, la sivyo hawa watu wasiotahiriwa watakuja na kunidhalilisha.” Lakini mbeba silaha wake akaogopa sana wala hakuweza kufanya hivyo. Kwa hiyo Sauli akachukua upanga wake mwenyewe na kuuangukia.
5 And when the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise on the sword, and died.
Mbeba silaha wake alipoona kwamba Sauli amekufa, naye pia akauangukia upanga wake akafa.
6 Thus died Saul and his three sons; and all his household died together.
Kwa hiyo Sauli na wanawe watatu wakafa, pamoja na nyumba yake yote.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead: they forsook their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Waisraeli wote waliokuwa bondeni walipoona kwamba jeshi limekimbia na kwamba Sauli na wanawe wamekufa, waliacha miji yao wakakimbia. Nao Wafilisti wakaja na kukaa humo.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.
Kesho yake Wafilisti walipokuja kuwavua maiti silaha, walimkuta Sauli na wanawe wameanguka katika Mlima Gilboa.
9 And they stripped him, and they carried away his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
Wakamvua mavazi, wakachukua kichwa chake pamoja na silaha zake, wakawatuma wajumbe katika nchi yote ya Wafilisti kutangaza habari hizi miongoni mwa sanamu zao na watu wao.
10 And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and his skull they fastened in the temple of Dagon.
Waliweka silaha zake katika hekalu la miungu yao, wakatundika kichwa chake katika hekalu la Dagoni.
11 And when all Yabesh-gil'ad heard all the Philistines had done to Saul:
Wakazi wote wa Yabeshi-Gileadi waliposikia yote Wafilisti waliyomtendea Sauli,
12 Then arose all the valiant men, and carried away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh; and they buried their bones under the terebinth in Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
mashujaa wao wote wakaondoka, wakautwaa mwili wa Sauli na miili ya wanawe, wakaileta Yabeshi. Wakaizika mifupa yao chini ya mti mkubwa huko Yabeshi, nao wakafunga kwa siku saba.
13 And [so] died Saul for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he had not kept, and also for asking one of a familiar spirit to inquire of the same;
Sauli alikufa kwa sababu hakuwa mwaminifu kwa Bwana. Hakulishika neno la Bwana, hata akataka shauri kwa mwaguzi kwa ajili ya uongozi,
14 And had not inquired of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned over the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
hakumuuliza Bwana. Kwa hiyo Bwana alimuua, na ufalme akampa Daudi mwana wa Yese.
