1 Chronicles 10
1 And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in Mount Gilboa,
Azɔ la, Filistitɔwo dze aʋa la wɔwɔ gɔme kple Israelviwo eye Israelviwo si le wo nu. Wowu Israelvi geɖewo le Gilboa to dzi.
2 and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
Filistitɔwo ɖe Saul kple viawo ɖe nu eye wowu viawo; Yonatan, Abinadab kple Malki Sua.
3 And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
Aʋa la nu sẽ ŋutɔ na Saul eye esi aŋutrɔdalawo tui la wode abi eŋu vevie.
4 and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come and have abused me.” And the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he fears exceedingly, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it;
Saul gblɔ na eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla be, “Ɖe wò yi ɖe go nàƒoe ɖem, ne menye nenem o la, Filistitɔ, aʋamatsomatsoetɔ siawo ava wum eye woado vlom.” Ke vɔvɔ̃ ɖo eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla la ŋutɔ eye melɔ̃ be yeawɔ Saul ƒe gbe dzi o. Eya ta Saul tsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe yi hedze enu.
5 and the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and falls, he also, on the sword, and dies;
Esi eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla la kpɔ be eku la, eya hã wu eɖokui nenema ke.
6 and Saul dies, and his three sons, and all his house—they died together.
Ale Saul kple Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo ku gbe ɖeka eye ƒome blibo la tsrɔ̃.
7 And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
Esime Israelvi siwo nɔ balime la le toa te se be wowu yewoƒe aʋawɔlawo eye Saul kple viawo hã ku la, wosi dzo le woƒe duwo me eye Filistitɔwo va nɔ duawo me.
8 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa,
Esi ŋu ke eye Filistitɔwo yi be woaɖe nuwo le Israel ƒe ame kukuwo ŋu la, wokpɔ Saul kple Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo ƒe kukuawo le Gilboa to la dzi.
9 and strip him, and carry away his head and his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people;
Woɖe Saul ƒe aʋawu le eŋu, tso ta le enu eye wotsɔ eƒe ta kple aʋawɔnu fia amewo le woƒe anyigba dzi godoo. Wotso aseye le dzidzɔnya sia ŋuti le woƒe legbawo kple dukɔmetɔwo ŋkume.
10 and they put his weapons in the house of their gods, and have fixed his skull in the house of Dagon.
Wotsɔ Saul ƒe akpoxɔnu da ɖe woƒe mawuwo ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wotsɔ eƒe ta ku gli ŋu le Dagon ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
11 And all Jabesh-Gilead hears of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
Esi Yabes Gileadtɔwo se nu si Filistitɔwo wɔ Saul la,
12 and all the men of valor rise and carry away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
woƒe aʋawɔlawo katã yi aʋagbea dzi eye wotsɔ eƒe kukua kple viawo tɔwo gbɔ va Yabes. Woɖi wo ɖe ati gã aɖe te le Yabes eye wofa wo ŋkeke adre sɔŋ.
13 And Saul dies because of his trespass that he trespassed against YHWH, against the word of YHWH that he did not keep, and also for asking to inquire of a familiar spirit;
Saul ku le eƒe tomaɖomaɖo Yehowa kple ale si wòyɔ ŋɔli bia gbee se ta.
14 and he did not inquire of YHWH, and He puts him to death, and turns around the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
Ke esi mebia Yehowa be wòafia nu si yeawɔ o la ta, Yehowa na wòku eye wòtsɔ eƒe fiaɖuƒe la na David, Yese ƒe vi.
