1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
Koro jo-Filistia ne kedo gi jo-Israel kendo jo-Israel noringo e nyimgi kendo joma ngʼeny nonegi e Got Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
Jo-Filistia nolawo Saulo gi yawuote matek, ma neginego yawuote magin Jonathan, Abinadab kod Malki-Shua.
3 And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, the men with bows; and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
Lweny nobedo mager kama Saulo ne nitie kendo kane jodir asere ojuke to ne gihinye marach.
4 And Saul said unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, 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.
Saulo nowacho ni jatingʼne gige lweny niya, “Wuodh liganglani mondo inega, nono to joma ok oter nyangigi biro nega kendo yanya.” To jatingʼne gige lweny ne luoro omako kendo ne ok onyal timo kamano, omiyo Saulo nokawo liganglane owuon mochwoworego.
5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
Kane jatingʼ gige lweny oneno ka Saulo osetho en bende nokawo liganglane mochwoworego motho kode.
6 Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, also all his men, on that same day together.
Kamano Saulo gi yawuote adek gi jatingʼne gige lweny kod joode duto notho kaachiel e odiechiengʼno.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and those that were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons had died: they forsook the cities, and fled away; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Kane jo-Israel duto mane nitie e holo to gi mago mane nitie loka aora Jordan noneno ka jolwenj Israel oseringo kendo ni Saulo gi yawuote bende osetho, negijwangʼo miechgi ma giringo. Kendo jo-Filistia nobiro modak e miechgigo.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.
Kinyne kane jo-Filistia obiro mondo oyak gige joma otho, negiyudo Saulo gi yawuote adek kotho e Got Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
Negingʼado wiye oko kendo ne gilonyo gige mag lweny, bangʼe negioro joote e piny jo-Filistia duto ka gioro wach mondo oter wach e hekalu mag nyisechegi kendo ni jopinygi.
10 And they put his armor in the house of 'Ashtaroth; and his body they fastened to the wall of Beth-shan.
Negiketo gige mag lweny e hekalu mar Ashtoreth kendo negitweyo ringre e kor ohinga man Beth Shan.
11 And when the inhabitants of Yabeshgil'ad heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul:
Kane jo-Jabesh Gilead nowinjo gima jo-Filistia osetimo ni Saulo,
12 Then arose all the valiant men, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Yabesh, and burnt them there.
thuondigi duto nowuok mowuotho otieno duto ka gidhi Beth Shan. Negigonyo ringre Saulo gi yawuote e kor ohinga mar Beth Shan ma negikelogi Jabesh, kuma ne giwangʼogie.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree at Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
Eka negikawo chokegi ma giyiko e tiend yath moro man Jabesh, kendo negitweyo chiemo kuom ndalo abiriyo.
