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,
Bato ya Filisitia bazalaki kobundisa Isalaele, kasi bato ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso na bango mpe mingi kati na bango bakufaki na ngomba Giliboa.
2 and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Bato ya Filisitia balandaki Saulo elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, kasi babomaki bana na ye ya mibali: Jonatan, Abinadabi mpe Maliki-Shuwa.
3 And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him—men with bow—and he is greatly pained by the archers;
Bongo bitumba ekomaki mpo na koboma Saulo. Tango basoda oyo babundaka na matolotolo bamonaki Saulo, ye Saulo alengaki na somo.
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.
Saulo alobaki na soda oyo amemaki bibundeli na ye: « Bimisa mopanga na yo na ebombelo na yango mpe boma ngai, noki te bato oyo bakatama ngenga te bakoya kotuba ngai mpe kosakanela ngai. » Kasi soda oyo amemaki bibundeli na ye aboyaki, pamba te azalaki kobanga. Bongo Saulo akamataki mopanga na ye mpe amibwakaki na likolo na yango.
5 And the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and he falls—he also—on his sword, and dies with him;
Tango soda oyo amemaki bibundeli na ye amonaki ete Saulo akufi, ye mpe amibwakaki na likolo ya mopanga na ye mpe akufaki elongo na Saulo.
6 and Saul dies, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, together on that day.
Ezalaki bongo nde Saulo, bana na ye misato ya mibali, soda oyo azalaki komema bibundeli na ye mpe basoda na ye nyonso bakufaki bango nyonso elongo mokolo wana.
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.
Tango bato ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya lubwaku mpe ba-oyo bazalaki na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani bamonaki ete mampinga ya Isalaele esili kopanzana, mpe ete Saulo mpe bana na ye ya mibali bakufi, basundolaki bingumba na bango mpe bakimaki. Bato ya Filisitia bayaki kovanda na bingumba yango.
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,
Na mokolo oyo elendaki, tango bato ya Filisitia bayaki mpo na kolongola biloko oyo ezalaki na banzoto ya bibembe, bamonaki Saulo mpe bana na ye misato ya mibali oyo bakufaki na ngomba Giliboa.
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;
Bakataki moto ya Saulo, bazwaki bibundeli na ye mpe batindaki bato na mokili mobimba ya bato ya Filisitia mpo ete bapanza sango malamu oyo ya elonga kati na tempelo ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe kati na bato na bango.
10 and they place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and they have fixed his body on the wall of Beth-Shan.
Batiaki bibundeli ya Saulo kati na tempelo ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, Asitarite, mpe badiembikaki nzoto na ye na mir ya Beti-Sheani.
11 And they hear regarding it—the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead—that which the Philistines have done to Saul,
Tango bavandi ya Yabeshi kati na Galadi bayokaki makambo oyo bato ya Filisitia basalaki Saulo,
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,
bilombe na bango nyonso batelemaki mpe batambolaki butu mobimba mpo na kokoma na Beti-Sheani. Bongo sima na bango kokitisa bibembe ya Saulo mpe ya bana na ye ya mibali wuta na mir, bazongaki na Yabeshi epai wapi batumbaki yango.
13 and they take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
Bazwaki mikuwa na bango, bakundaki yango na Yabeshi, na se ya nzete ya tamarisi, mpe bakilaki bilei mikolo sambo.
