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,
Afei, Filistifo no bɛtow hyɛɛ Israel so, maa Israelfo no guanee. Wokunkum wɔn mu pii wɔ bepɔw Gilboa so.
2 and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
Filistifo no kaa Saulo ne ne mmabarima hyɛe. Wokunkum wɔn mu baasa a wɔne Yonatan, Abinadab ne 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,
Ɔko no ano yɛɛ den twaa Saulo ho hyiae, maa Filistifo agyantowfo no nyaa Saulo piraa no yiye.
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;
Saulo fi apinisi mu ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodekurafo no se, “Twe wʼafoa, fa wɔ me kum me na Filistifo abosonsomfo yi ammɛto me, angu mʼanim ase.” Nanso na nʼakodekurafo no suro nti, wanyɛ saa. Enti Saulo twee ɔno ara nʼafoa, de kum ne ho.
5 and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
Bere a nʼakodekurafo no huu sɛ Saulo awu no, ɔno nso de nʼafoa kum ne ho.
6 and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
Ɛno nti, Saulo ne ne mma mmarima baasa no wuwuu hɔ ara, maa nʼahenni nnidiso no baa awiei.
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.
Bere a Israelfo a wɔwɔ Yesreel bon no mu no huu sɛ wɔadi wɔn asraafo no so, na Saulo ne ne mmabarima baasa no awuwu no, woguan gyaa wɔn nkurow hɔ. Ɛno nti, Filistifo no kɔfaa wɔn nkurow no.
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,
Ade kyee a Filistifo no kɔɔ sɛ wɔrekoyiyi atɔfo no ho nneɛma no, wohuu sɛ Saulo ne ne mmabarima no amu gugu bepɔw Gilboa so.
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,
Enti woyiyii Saulo akode fii ne ho, twaa ne ti. Afei wɔbɔɔ Saulo wu no ho dawuru maa wɔn ahoni ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia nyinaa tee.
10 and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
Wɔde nʼakode no guu wɔn anyame no abosonnan mu, na wɔkyekyeree ne ti no fam Dagon asɔredan no fasu ho.
11 And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
Nanso Yabes Gileadfo tee nea Filistifo ayɛ Saulo no,
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.
wɔn akofo kɔfaa Saulo ne ne mmabarima baasa no amu baa Yabes. Na wosiee wɔn amu wɔ odum dua bi a ɛwɔ Yabes ase, na wodii mmuada nnanson.
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, —
Na Saulo wui, efisɛ wanni Awurade nokware. Wanni Awurade ahyɛde so, na mpo, ɔkɔɔ asamanfrɛ
14 and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
wɔ bere a anka ɛsɛ sɛ obisa Awurade nkyɛn akwankyerɛ. Ɛno nti, Awurade kum no, de nʼahenni hyɛɛ Yisai babarima Dawid nsa.
