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.
A KAUA mai la na Pilisetia i ka Iseraela: auhee aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela imua o ko Pilisetia, a haule iho la ka poe i pepehiia ma ka mauna o Gileboa.
2 The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
A hahai ikaika mai la ko Pilisetia ia Saula a me kana mau keiki; a pepehi iho la na Pilisetia ia Ionatana, a ia Abinadaba a me Melekisua, na keiki a Saula.
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].
A ikaika mai la ke kaua ana ia Saula, a loaa oia i na kanaka pana pua; a haalulu loa iho la ia no ka poe pana pua.
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].
I aku ia o Saula i ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua, E unuhi oe i kau pahikaua, a e hou mai ia'u me ia, o hiki mai auanei keia poe i okipoepoe ole ia, a hou mai ia'u, a hoomaewaewa mai ia'u. Aka, aole makemake ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua; no ka mea, ua makau loa ia: no ia mea, lalau o Saula i ka pahikaua, a hoohaule iho la iluna.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
A ike aku ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua, ua make o Saula, haule iho la ia maluna o kana pahikaua, a make pu me ia.
6 So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
A ia la hookahi, make iho la o Saula, a me kana mau keiki ekolu, a me ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua, a me kona poe kanaka a pau.
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.
A ike ae la na kanaka o ka Iseraela ma kela aoao o ke awawa, a me ka poe ma kela aoao o Ioredane, ua hee aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a ua make hoi o Saula me kana mau keiki, haalele lakou i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, a holo aku la; a hele mai na Pilisetia a noho iho la malaila.
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.
A ia la iho, hele ae la na Pilisetia e hao i ka poe i pepehiia, loaa ia lakou o Saula, a me kana mau keiki ekolu i haule ma ka mauna o Gileboa.
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].
A oki iho la lakou i kona poo, a hao ae la i kana mea kaua, a hoouna aku la lakou i ka aina o na Pilisetia a puni e hai aku ma ka hale o ko lakou kii, a i na kanaka.
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].
A waiho iho la lakou i kana mea kaua ma ka hale o Asetarota, a hoopaa aku la lakou i kona kino ma ka pa pohaku o Betesana.
11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
A lohe ae la na kanaka o Iabesa-gileada i ka mea a na Pilisetia i hana aku ai ia Saula,
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.
Ku ae la na kanaka koa a pau, a hele aku ia po a ao, a lawe lakou i ke kino o Saula, a me na kino o kana mau keiki mai ka pa pohaku aku o Betesana, a hele mai ma Iabesa, a puhi aku la ia lakou i ke ahi malaila.
13 They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
A lawe lakou i ko lakou mau iwi. a kanu iho la malalo o ka laau ma Iabesa, a hookeai lakou i na la ehiku.
