1 Samuel 31
1 Now, as, the Philistines, were fighting against Israel, the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain, in Mount Gilboa.
Filisxeemonni yeroo kanatti Israaʼelitti waraana kaasan; Israaʼeloonnis isaan duraa baqatan; hedduun isaaniis Tulluu Gilboʼaa irratti dhuman.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
Filisxeemonni ittuma jabeessanii Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa ariʼan; isaanis ilmaan isaa jechuunis Yoonaataan, Abiinaadaabii fi Malkii-Shuwaa ajjeesan.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers discovered him, —and he was terrified at the archers.
Lollis naannoo Saaʼolitti baayʼee cime; warri xiyyaan lolanis isa qaqqabanii akka malee isa madeessan.
4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer—Draw thy sword and pierce me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come, and pierce me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer was not willing, for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell thereon.
Saaʼolis namicha miʼa lolaa isaa baatuun, “Goraadee kee luqqifadhuutii na waraani; yoo kanaa achii namoonni dhagna hin qabamin kunneen dhufanii na waraananii natti taphatuu” jedhe. Namichi miʼa lolaa baatuuf sun garuu waan akka malee sodaateef isa hin waraanne; kanaafuu Saaʼol goraadee ofii isaa luqqifatee irratti kufe.
5 And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also, fell upon his sword, and died with him.
Namichi miʼa lolaa baatu sun yommuu akka Saaʼol duʼe argetti innis goraadee ofii isaa irratti kufee Saaʼol wajjin duʼe.
6 Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, yea all his men, on that day, together.
Kanaafuu Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa sadan, namichi miʼa lolaa baatuu fi namoonni isaa hundinuu gaafasuma walumaan dhuman.
7 And, when the men of Israel who were across the vale, and who were across the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled, and the Philistines entered, and took up their abode therein.
Israaʼeloonni qarqara sululaatii fi gama Yordaanos jiran yommuu akka loltoonni Israaʼel baqatanii fi akka Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaas dhuman arganitti magaalaawwan isaanii dhiisanii baqatan. Filisxeemonni immoo dhufanii keessa qubatan.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul, and his three sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
Filisxeemonnis guyyaa itti aanutti yommuu warra dhuman irraa hidhannaa hiikkachuu dhufanitti, akka Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa sadan Tulluu Gilboʼaa irratti kukkufanii jiran argan.
9 So they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and unto the people.
Isaanis mataa Saaʼol irraa kutanii, miʼa lolaa isa irraa fudhatanii akka isaan mana waaqota tolfamoo isaanii keessattii fi saba isaaniitiif oduu kana labsaniif guutummaa biyya Filisxeemotaa keessa ergamoota ergan.
10 And they put his armour in a house of Ashtoreths, —and, his dead body, fastened they on the wall of Beth-shan.
Isaanis miʼa lolaa isaa mana Ashtooreti waaqicha tolfamaa keessa kaaʼan; reeffa isaa immoo dallaa Beet Shaanitti hodhan.
11 And, when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, what the Philistines had done unto Saul,
Namoonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad yommuu waan Filisxeemonni Saaʼolin godhan dhagaʼanitti,
12 then arose all the men of valour, and journeyed all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-shan, —and came to Jabesh, and burned them there;
namoonni jajjaboon isaanii hundi halkaniin kaʼanii dhaqanii reeffa Saaʼolii fi reeffa ilmaan isaa dallaa Beet Shaan irraa buusanii gara Yaabeeshitti fidanii achitti guban.
13 and took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, —and fasted seven days.
Ergasii lafee isaanii fuudhanii Yaabeeshitti muka tamirii jalatti awwaalan; bultii torbas ni sooman.
