1 Samuel 31
1 And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in Mount Gilboa,
Moun Filisti yo leve yon sèl batay ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou mòn Gilboa. Anpil nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mouri, rès yo te kouri met deyò.
2 and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Moun Filisti yo rive sou Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo. Yo touye Jonatan, Abinadad ak Malchichwa frèt.
3 And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him—men with bow—and he is greatly pained by the archers;
Batay la te mangonmen kote Sayil te ye a. Mesye ki t'ap voye flèch nan banza yo te konmanse ap vize sou li. Lè li wè sa, li pran tranble.
4 and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come—these uncircumcised—and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me”; and the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it.
Li rele gad ki t'ap pote zam li yo, li di l' konsa: -Rale nepe ou, touye m' pou bann moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pa gen tan rive sou mwen pou se yo ki touye m', lèfini pou yo pase m' nan betiz. Men gad kò a pa t' vle paske li te pè anpil. Lè sa a, Sayil pran nepe a, li vire l' tèt anba, li lage kò l' sou li.
5 And the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and he falls—he also—on his sword, and dies with him;
Lè gad kò a wè Sayil mouri, li fè menm bagay la tou, li lage kò l' sou nepe li a. Li mouri ansanm avèk Sayil.
6 and Saul dies, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, together on that day.
Se konsa, ni Sayil, ni twa pitit gason l' yo, ni gad kò a te mouri. Jou sa a, tout mesye Sayil yo te mouri.
7 And they see—the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan—that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell in them.
Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te rete lòt bò Fon Jizreyèl la ak lòt bò larivyè Jouden wè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo kouri mèt deyò epi Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo mouri, yo leve kite lavil kote yo te rete yo, yo mete deyò tou. Moun Filisti yo vini, yo pran lavil yo pou yo.
8 And it comes to pass on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa,
Nan denmen apre batay la, moun Filisti yo tounen pou pran zam ki te sou kadav sòlda mouri yo, yo jwenn kadav Sayil ak kadav twa pitit gason l' yo kouche atè sou mòn Gilboa a.
9 and they cut off his head, and strip off his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines, to proclaim tidings [in] the house of their idols, and [among] the people;
Yo koupe tèt Sayil, yo pran tout zam li yo. Lèfini, yo voye gaye bon nouvèl sa a nan tout peyi Filisti a, nan tanp zidòl yo ak nan zòrèy tout pèp la.
10 and they place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and they have fixed his body on the wall of Beth-Shan.
Yo mete zam Sayil yo nan tanp Astate, zidòl yo a. Epi yo pran rès kò a, yo kloure l' sou miray lavil Bèt Chean an.
11 And they hear regarding it—the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead—that which the Philistines have done to Saul,
Lè moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, vin konnen sa moun Filisti yo te fè Sayil,
12 and all the men of valor arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come to Jabesh, and burn them there,
tout mesye ki te brave danje yo leve, yo mache tout lannwit jouk yo rive lavil Bèt Chean, yo desann kadav Sayil la ak kadav pitit gason l' yo ki te kloure sou miray lavil la, yo tounen ak yo lavil Jabès, kote yo boule yo.
13 and they take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
Lèfini, yo pran zosman yo, yo antere yo anba pye tonmaren ki nan lavil Jabès la. Apre sa, yo pase sèt jou san manje.
