< 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,
Azɔ la, Filistitɔwo dze aʋa la wɔwɔ gɔme kple Israelviwo eye Israelviwo si le wo nu. Wowu Israelvi geɖewo le Gilboa to dzi.
2 and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
Filistitɔwo ɖe Saul kple viawo ɖe nu eye wowu viawo; Yonatan, Abinadab kple Malki Sua.
3 And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
Aʋa la nu sẽ ŋutɔ na Saul eye esi aŋutrɔdalawo tui la wode abi eŋu vevie.
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;
Saul gblɔ na eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla be, “Ɖe wò yi ɖe go nàƒoe ɖem, ne menye nenem o la, Filistitɔ, aʋamatsomatsoetɔ siawo ava wum eye woado vlom.” Ke vɔvɔ̃ ɖo eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla la ŋutɔ eye melɔ̃ be yeawɔ Saul ƒe gbe dzi o. Eya ta Saul tsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe yi hedze enu.
5 and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
Esi eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla la kpɔ be eku la, eya hã wu eɖokui nenema ke.
6 and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
Ale Saul kple Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo ku gbe ɖeka eye ƒome blibo la tsrɔ̃.
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.
Esime Israelvi siwo nɔ balime la le toa te se be wowu yewoƒe aʋawɔlawo eye Saul kple viawo hã ku la, wosi dzo le woƒe duwo me eye Filistitɔwo va nɔ duawo me.
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,
Esi ŋu ke eye Filistitɔwo yi be woaɖe nuwo le Israel ƒe ame kukuwo ŋu la, wokpɔ Saul kple Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo ƒe kukuawo le Gilboa to la dzi.
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,
Woɖe Saul ƒe aʋawu le eŋu, tso ta le enu eye wotsɔ eƒe ta kple aʋawɔnu fia amewo le woƒe anyigba dzi godoo. Wotso aseye le dzidzɔnya sia ŋuti le woƒe legbawo kple dukɔmetɔwo ŋkume.
10 and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
Wotsɔ Saul ƒe akpoxɔnu da ɖe woƒe mawuwo ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wotsɔ eƒe ta ku gli ŋu le Dagon ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
11 And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
Esi Yabes Gileadtɔwo se nu si Filistitɔwo wɔ Saul la,
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.
woƒe aʋawɔlawo katã yi aʋagbea dzi eye wotsɔ eƒe kukua kple viawo tɔwo gbɔ va Yabes. Woɖi wo ɖe ati gã aɖe te le Yabes eye wofa wo ŋkeke adre sɔŋ.
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, —
Saul ku le eƒe tomaɖomaɖo Yehowa kple ale si wòyɔ ŋɔli bia gbee se ta.
14 and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
Ke esi mebia Yehowa be wòafia nu si yeawɔ o la ta, Yehowa na wòku eye wòtsɔ eƒe fiaɖuƒe la na David, Yese ƒe vi.
