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.
Alò Filisten yo t ap goumen kont Israël e mesye Israël yo te kouri devan Filisten yo, e yo te tonbe mouri sou Mòn Guilboa.
2 The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
Filisten yo te rive sou Saül avèk fis li yo. Konsa, yo te touye Jonathan avèk Abinadab, ak Malkishua, fis a Saül yo.
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].
Batay la te vire rèd kont Saül. Ekip tire flèch ak banza yo te rive sou li; epi li te gravman blese pa ekip banza yo.
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].
Konsa, Saül te di a pòtè zam li an: “Rale nepe ou pou frennen m avè l; otreman, Filisten ensikonsi sila yo va vin frennen m nèt e fè spò avè m.” Men pòtè zam nan te refize, paske li te pè anpil. Pou sa Saül te pran nepe li e te tonbe sou li.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Lè pòtè zam nan te wè ke Saül te mouri avèk twa fis li yo, li tou te tonbe sou nepe li pou te mouri avèk li.
6 So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
Konsa Saül te mouri avèk twa fis li yo, pòtè zam li an, ak tout mesye pa l yo ansanm nan jou sa a.
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.
Lè mesye Israël ki te lòtbò vale a avèk sila ki te lòtbò Jourdain an, te wè ke mesye Israël yo te sove ale e ke Saül avèk fis li yo te mouri, yo te abandone vil yo e te sove ale. Konsa, Filisten yo te vin viv ladan yo.
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.
Li te vin rive nan pwochen jou a, lè Filisten yo te vini pou depouye mò yo, ke yo te twouve Saül avèk twa fis li yo tonbe sou Mòn Guilboa.
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].
Yo te koupe tèt li e te retire zam li yo pou te voye yo toupatou nan peyi Filisten yo, pou pote bòn nouvèl la rive lakay zidòl pa yo ak pèp yo a.
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].
Yo te mete zam li yo nan tanp Astarté yo e yo te tache kadav li nan miray kote Beth-Schan nan.
11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
Alò, lè moun ki te rete Jabès yo te tande sa ke Filisten yo te fè a Saül,
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.
tout mesye vanyan yo te leve mache tout nwit lan pou te pran kò Saül la avèk kò a fis pa li yo soti nan miray Beth-Schan lan. Lè yo te rive Jabès yo te brile yo la.
13 They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
Yo te pran zo yo e te antere yo anba pye tamaren Jabès la e yo te fè jèn pandan sèt jou.
