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, Filistifoɔ no bɛto hyɛɛ Israel so, ma Israelfoɔ no dwaneeɛ. Wɔkunkumm wɔn mu pii wɔ bepɔ 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.
Filistifoɔ no kaa Saulo ne ne mmammarima hyɛeɛ. Wɔkunkumm wɔn mu baasa a wɔn ne 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 wɔ Saulo ho hyiaaɛ, ma Filistifoɔ agyantofoɔ no nyaa Saulo piraa no yie.
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 firi apenesie mu ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodeɛkurafoɔ no sɛ, “Twe wʼakofena, na fa wɔ me kum me na Filistifoɔ abosonsomfoɔ yi ammɛto me, angu mʼanim ase.” Nanso, na nʼakodeɛkurafoɔ no suro enti, wanyɛ saa. Enti, Saulo twee ɔno ara nʼakofena, de kumm ne ho.
5 and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
Ɛberɛ a nʼakodeɛkurafoɔ no hunuu sɛ Saulo awuo no, ɔno nso de nʼakofena kumm ne ho.
6 and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
Ɛno enti, Saulo ne ne mmammarima baasa no wuwuu wɔ hɔ ara, ma nʼahennie nnidisoɔ no baa awieeɛ.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yesreel bɔnhwa no mu no hunuu sɛ wɔadi wɔn akodɔm no so, na Saulo ne ne mmammarima baasa no awuwu no, wɔdwane gyaa wɔn nkuro hɔ. Ɛno enti, Filistifoɔ no kɔfaa wɔn nkuro 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,
Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Filistifoɔ no kɔɔ sɛ wɔrekɔyiyi atɔfoɔ no ho nneɛma no, wɔhunuu sɛ Saulo ne ne mmammarima no amu gugu bepɔ 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, wɔyiyii Saulo akodeɛ firii ne ho, twaa ne ti. Afei wɔbɔɔ Saulo wuo no ho dawuro, maa wɔn ahoni ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia nyinaa teeɛ.
10 and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
Wɔde nʼakodeɛ no guu wɔn anyame no abosonnan mu, na wɔkyekyeree ne ti no fam Dagon asɔredan no ɔfasuo ho.
11 And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
Nanso, Yabes Gileadfoɔ tee deɛ Filistifoɔ 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 akofoɔ kɔfaa Saulo ne ne mmammarima baasa no amu baa Yabes. Na wɔsiee wɔn amu wɔ odum dua bi a ɛwɔ Yabes ase, na wɔdii 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 wuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wanni Awurade nokorɛ. Wanni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ 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 ɛberɛ a anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbisa akwankyerɛ firi Awurade hɔ. Ɛno enti, Awurade kumm no, de nʼahennie hyɛɛ Yisai babarima Dawid nsa.
