1 Samuel 31
1 Later, the Philistines again fought against the Israelis. The Israelis ran away from them, and (many Israelis were killed/the Philistines killed many Israelis) on Gilboa Mountain.
Philistine miten Israel mite chu anokhum tauvin ahile, Israel mite chu Philistinete masanga ajamcheh uvin, Gilboa molsanga ken laiyah chun Philistine ten athatgam tauve.
2 The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
Philistine miten Saul le achapa teho jong adelphapa uvin, achapa thum Jonathan, Abinadab, chule Malkishua jong athat tauve.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul. When the Philistine (archers/men with bows and arrows) caught up with Saul, they wounded him badly [with their arrows].
Saul panmun kimvel’a jong gal akihasat lheh jengun, akhona in thalpi kapthem hon akap kha’un, melsetah in amavo uvin ahi.
4 Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to thrust their swords into me and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified, and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. [The sword pierced his body and he died].
Chuin Saul in agalvon popa jah ah, “Nachemjam satdoh inlang neithat in hiche Philistine Pathen helou ho ahung uva eimoh sutlih sang un,” ati. Ahinla agalvonpopa akichan athat ngampon ahi. Chuin Saul in jong ama chemjam asatdoh in, achemjam chu abokhum in amale ama akithat tai.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Chuin agalvon popan Saul athitai ti ahetdoh phat in achemjam asatdoh in alhuh khum in alengpa komah amajong athi tan ahi.
6 So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
Hitichun Saul, achapa thumho, chule agalvon popa, abonchauvin nikhat sung in athi soh hel tauvin ahi.
7 When the Israeli people on the north side of the [Jezreel] Valley and on the east side of the Jordan [River] heard that the Israeli army had run away and that Saul and his sons had died, they left their towns and ran away. Then the Philistines came and occupied their towns.
Jezreel phaicham agal langkhat, Jordan vadung niso lam’a Israelten, Israel sepaite ho galjam gam tauve tithu ajahdoh uva, Saul le achapa teho jong athat taove ti ajah phat un, akhopi hou adalhauvin ahile Philistine miten akhopi sung uva alut un khopi u chu alo tauvin ahi.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the bodies of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
Ajing nikho in Philistine miten mithilong ho hetup dinga ahung uleh Gilboa mol chunga Saul le achapate thumho le agalvon popa, alongu ahung mudoh un ahi.
9 They cut off Saul’s head and took his weapons. Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news, in the temple where they kept their idols, and to the other people, [that their army had killed Saul].
Chuin Saul alu atan uvin agalvon chengtoh apotauve, Saul thi jeh in Philistine gamsung jouse le a pathen hounau houin’ah kipa thuphon aneiyun ahi.
10 They put Saul’s weapons in the temple of [their goddess] Astarte. They also fastened the bodies of Saul [and his sons] to the wall [that surrounded] Beth-Shan [city].
Saul galvon chu amilim doi ahounao Ashteroth kiti houin sung ah akoijun chule atahsa chu Beth-shan kiti khopi sunga bang ah akhaiyun ahi.
11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
Ahinlah Jabesh-gilead miten jong, Philistine miten Saul abolnao ajah phat un,
12 all their bravest soldiers walked all night to Beth-Shan. They took the corpses of Saul and his sons down from the city wall, and they took them back to Jabesh and burned the corpses there.
Galhang pasal jouse akipat doh un, ahung kitol’un, jan khovah hellin Beth-shan a kon in Saul le achapa teho long chu banga kon in ala lhauvin, Jabesh khopi ah ahin pulut un hikoma chun ahalvam un ahi.
13 They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
Chujouvin agu ho chu alauvin Jabesh khoa Tamarisk thingphung noiyah avui uivn, chule ni sagi jen apuldou nan an angol uvin ahi.
