1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead on Mount Gilboa.
Koro jo-Filistia ne kedo gi jo-Israel kendo jo-Israel noringo e nyimgi kendo joma ngʼeny nonegi e Got Gilboa.
2 The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
Jo-Filistia nolawo Saulo gi yawuote matek, ma neginego yawuote magin Jonathan, Abinadab kod Malki-Shua.
3 The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him. He was in severe pain because of them.
Lweny nobedo mager kama Saulo ne nitie kendo kane jodir asere ojuke to ne gihinye marach.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it. Otherwise, these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
Saulo nowacho ni jatingʼne gige lweny niya, “Wuodh liganglani mondo inega, nono to joma ok oter nyangigi biro nega kendo yanya.” To jatingʼne gige lweny ne luoro omako kendo ne ok onyal timo kamano, omiyo Saulo nokawo liganglane owuon mochwoworego.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died with him.
Kane jatingʼ gige lweny oneno ka Saulo osetho en bende nokawo liganglane mochwoworego motho kode.
6 So Saul died, his three sons, and his armor bearer—these men all died together that same day.
Kamano Saulo gi yawuote adek gi jatingʼne gige lweny kod joode duto notho kaachiel e odiechiengʼno.
7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.
Kane jo-Israel duto mane nitie e holo to gi mago mane nitie loka aora Jordan noneno ka jolwenj Israel oseringo kendo ni Saulo gi yawuote bende osetho, negijwangʼo miechgi ma giringo. Kendo jo-Filistia nobiro modak e miechgigo.
8 It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Kinyne kane jo-Filistia obiro mondo oyak gige joma otho, negiyudo Saulo gi yawuote adek kotho e Got Gilboa.
9 They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent messengers into the land of the Philistines throughout to carry the news to their idols' temples and to the people.
Negingʼado wiye oko kendo ne gilonyo gige mag lweny, bangʼe negioro joote e piny jo-Filistia duto ka gioro wach mondo oter wach e hekalu mag nyisechegi kendo ni jopinygi.
10 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the city wall of Beth Shan.
Negiketo gige mag lweny e hekalu mar Ashtoreth kendo negitweyo ringre e kor ohinga man Beth Shan.
11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Kane jo-Jabesh Gilead nowinjo gima jo-Filistia osetimo ni Saulo,
12 all the fighting men arose and went all night and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan. They went to Jabesh and burned them there.
thuondigi duto nowuok mowuotho otieno duto ka gidhi Beth Shan. Negigonyo ringre Saulo gi yawuote e kor ohinga mar Beth Shan ma negikelogi Jabesh, kuma ne giwangʼogie.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
Eka negikawo chokegi ma giyiko e tiend yath moro man Jabesh, kendo negitweyo chiemo kuom ndalo abiriyo.
