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.
Ang mga Filisteo nga ay lumaban sa Israel: at ang mga lalake sa Israel ay tumakas sa harap ng mga Filisteo, at nangabuwal na patay sa bundok ng Gilboa.
2 The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
At hinabol ng panunod ng mga Filisteo si Saul at ang kaniyang mga anak; at pinatay ng mga Filisteo si Jonathan, at si Abinadab, at si Melchisua, na mga anak ni Saul.
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].
At ang pagbabaka ay lumubha laban kay Saul, at inabutan siya ng mga mamamana; at siya'y totoong nahirapan dahil sa mga mamamana.
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].
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, Bunutin mo ang iyong tabak at palagpasan mo ako niyaon; baka dumating ang mga hindi tuling ito at ako'y palagpasan, at ako'y kanilang pahirapan. Nguni't ayaw ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata; sapagka't siya'y totoong natakot. Kaya't kinuha ni Saul ang kaniyang tabak, at nagpakabuwal sa kaniyang tabak.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
At nang makita ng kaniyang tagadala ng sandata na si Saul ay patay, siya naman ay nagpakabuwal sa kaniyang tabak, at nagpakamatay na kasama niya.
6 So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
Gayon namatay si Saul, at ang kaniyang tatlong anak, at ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, at ang lahat niyang mga lalake nang araw na yaon na magkakasama.
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.
At nang makita ng mga lalake sa Israel na nasa kabilang dako ng libis, at ng mga nasa dako roon ng Jordan, na ang mga lalake sa Israel ay tumakas, at si Saul at ang kaniyang mga anak ay namatay, kanilang iniwan ang mga bayan, at nagsitakas; at naparoon ang mga Filisteo, at tumahan sa mga yaon.
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.
At nangyari nang kinabukasan nang ang mga Filisteo ay dumating upang hubaran ang mga patay, ay kanilang nasumpungan si Saul at ang kaniyang tatlong anak na nabuwal sa bundok ng Gilboa.
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].
At kanilang pinugot ang kaniyang ulo, at hinubad ang kaniyang mga sakbat, at ipinadala sa lupain ng mga Filisteo sa palibot upang ibalita sa mga bahay ng kanilang mga diosdiosan at sa bayan.
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].
At kanilang inilagay ang kaniyang sakbat, sa bahay ni Astaroth: at kanilang ibinitin ang bangkay niya sa kuta ng Beth-san.
11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
At nang mabalitaan ng mga tumatahan sa Jabes-galaad ang tungkol sa ginawa ng mga Filisteo kay Saul,
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.
Lahat ng matapang na lalake ay bumangon at nagsilakad sa buong gabi at kinuha ang bangkay ni Saul at ang mga bangkay ng kaniyang mga anak sa kuta ng Beth-san; at sila'y naparoon sa Jabes, at kanilang pinagsunog doon.
13 They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
At kanilang kinuha ang kanilang mga buto at ibinaon sa ilalim ng isang puno ng tamarisko sa Jabes, at nagayuno silang pitong araw.
