1 Chronicles 10
1 And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
Tsono Afilisti anachitanso nkhondo ndi Aisraeli ndipo Aisraeli anathawa Afilistiwo, kotero kuti ambiri anaphedwa pa phiri la Gilibowa.
2 and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
Afilisti anapanikiza kwambiri Sauli ndi ana ake, ndipo anapha Yonatani, Abinadabu ndi Maliki-Suwa.
3 And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
Nkhondo inakula kwambiri mozungulira Sauli ndipo pamene anthu amauta anamupeza, anamuvulaza.
4 and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, 'Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come — and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;
Tsono Sauli anawuza mnyamata wake wonyamula zida zake kuti, “Solola lupanga lako undiphe, kuopa kuti anthu osachita mdulidwewa angabwere ndi kudzandizunza ine.” Koma mnyamata wonyamula zida uja anachita mantha kwambiri ndipo sanathe kutero. Choncho Sauli anatenga lupanga lake lomwe nagwerapo.
5 and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
Mnyamata wonyamula zida zake uja ataona kuti Sauli wafa, nayenso anadzigwetsera pa lupanga lake nafa.
6 and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
Motero Sauli ndi ana ake atatu anafa, pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse anafera limodzi.
7 And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
Pamene Aisraeli onse amene anali mʼchigwa anaona kuti gulu lankhondo lathawa komanso kuti Sauli ndi ana ake aphedwa, nawonso anathawa kusiya mizinda yawo. Ndipo Afilisti anabwera kudzakhalamo.
8 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,
Mmawa mwake, Afilisti atabwera kudzatenga zinthu za anthu ophedwa, anapeza Sauli ndi ana ake atafa pa phiri la Gilibowa.
9 and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people,
Iwo anamuvula zovala zake, natenga mutu wake ndi zida zake zankhondo. Ndipo anatumiza amithenga mʼdziko lonse la Afilisti kukafalitsa nkhani yabwinoyi kwa mafano awo ndi kwa anthu awo.
10 and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
Iwo anayika zida zake zankhondo mʼnyumba zopembedzera milungu yawo ndipo anapachika mutu wake mʼnyumba ya Dagoni.
11 And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
Pamene anthu onse okhala ku Yabesi Giliyadi anamva zimene Afilisti anachitira Sauli,
12 and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
anthu awo onse olimba mtima anapita kukatenga mitembo ya Sauli ndi ana ake ndipo anabwera nayo ku Yabesi. Anakwirira mafupa awo pansi pa mtengo wabwemba ku Yabesi, ndipo anasala kudya masiku asanu ndi awiri.
13 And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit — to inquire, —
Sauli anafa chifukwa anali wosakhulupirika pamaso pa Yehova. Iye sanasunge mawu a Yehova, pakuti anakafunsira nzeru kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa,
14 and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
sanafunsire nzeruzo kwa Yehova. Choncho Yehova anamupha ndi kupereka ufumu kwa Davide mwana wa Yese.
