1 Chronicles 10
1 Now, the Philistines, fought against Israel, —and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and the wounded fell in Mount Gilboa.
Wafilisti wakapigana dhidi ya Israeli. Kila mwanaume wa Israeli alikimbia Wafilisti na kuanguka na kufa katika Mlima Giliboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
Wafilisti waliwakimbiza Sauli na mwanae. Waflisti walimuua Yonathani, Abinadabu, na Malichishua, wana wake.
3 And the battle, went sore, against Saul, and the archers discovered him with the bow, —and he was terrified because of the archers.
Pambano lilikuwa zito kwa Sauli, na wapiga mishale wakamshambulia. Alipatwa na maumivu makali sababu ya wapiga mishale.
4 Therefore said Saul unto his armour-bearer, Draw out thy sword and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly, —so then Saul took the sword, and fell upon it.
Kisha Sauli akasema kwa mbeba ngao wake, “Vuta upanga wako na unichome nao. Lasihivyo, hawa wasio tahiriwa watukuja na kunitesa”. Lakini mbeba ngao wake hakutaka, kwa kuwa aliogopa sana. Kwa hiyo Sauli akachukuwa upanga wake na kuuangukia.
5 And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then, he also, fell upon the sword, and died.
Mbeba ngao alivyoona kuwa Sauli amekufa, naye akaangukia upanga wake na kufa.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and, all his house, together, died.
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa, na wana wake watatu, wote wa nyumba yake wakafa pamoja.
7 And, when all the men of Israel that were in the vale saw, that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then forsook they their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Kila mwanaume wa Israeli katika bonde alivyoona kuwa wamekimbia, na Sauli na wana wake wamekufa, walitelekeza miji yao na kukimbia. Kisha Wafilisti wakaja na kuishi humo.
8 And it came to pass, on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, —that they found Saul, and his sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
Ikawa siku inayofuata, Wafilisti walipo kuja kukagua wafu, walimkuta Sauli na wana wake wameanguka katika Mlima Giliboa.
9 So they stript him, and took his head, and his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
Wakamvua nguo zote na kuchukuwa kichwa chake na ngao yake. Wakatuma wajumbe wapeleke habari Filistia yote kwa miungu yao na watu wote.
10 And they put his armour, in the house of their gods, —but, his skull, fastened they up, in the house of Dagon.
Ngao yake wakaeka ndani ya hekalu la miungu yao, na kichwa chake waka kining'iniza katika hekalu la Dagoni.
11 And, when all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Yabeshi Gileadi yote ilipo sikia Wafilisti waliyo mtendea Sauli,
12 then rose up all the men of valour, and took away the corpse of Saul, and the corpses of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, —and buried their bodies under the terebinth, in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
wanaume wote wa vita wakaenda na kuchukuwa mwili wa Sauli na hiyo ya wanae, na kuirejesha Yabeshi. Walizika mifupa yao chini ya mti huko Yabeshi na wakafunga siku saba.
13 Thus died Saul, for his unfaithfulness wherewith he dealt unfaithfully against Yahweh, over the word of Yahweh, which he kept not, —and, also, in asking by necromancy when he desired to enquire;
Kwaiyo Sauli akafa kwa kuwa hakuwa mwaminifu kwa Yahweh. Hakutii maelekezo ya Yahweh, lakini akauliza ushauri kwa mtu anaye ongea na wafu.
14 and enquired not of Yahweh, wherefore he slew him, —and turned round the kingdom unto David, son of Jesse.
Hakutafuta mwongozo kwa Yahweh, hivyo Yahweh akamua na kupindua ufalme kwa Daudi mwana wa Yese.
