1 Samuel 31
1 And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
Ary ny Filistina niady tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary nandositra teo anoloan’ ny Filistina ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, ary niampatrampatra teny an-tendrombohitra Gilboa ny faty.
2 and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
Ary ny Filistina nanenjika mafy an’ i Saoly sy ny zanany, ka matin’ ny Filistina Jonatana sy Abinadaba ary Malkisoa, zanak’ i Saoly.
3 And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him — men with bow — and he is pained greatly by the archers;
Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ i Saoly, dia nifanehatra tamin’ ny mpandefa tsipìka izy; ary raiki-tahotra indrindra izy noho ny mpandefa tsipìka.
4 and Saul saith to the bearer of his weapons, 'Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come — these uncircumcised — and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me;' and the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it.
Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany: Tsoahy ny sabatrao, ka tsatohy miboroaka aho, fandrao avy irery tsy mifora irery ka hotsatohany miboroaka aho, dia hataony ho fihomehezana. Nefa tsy nety ny mpitondra ny fiadany, fa natahotra loatra izy. Dia nalain’ i Saoly ny sabatra ka nianjerany.
5 And the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and he falleth — he also — on his sword, and dieth with him;
Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany fa maty Saoly, dia mba nianjera tamin’ ny sabany koa izy ka niara-maty taminy.
6 and Saul dieth, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, on that day together.
Ka dia niara-maty androtrizay ihany Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy sy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany ary ny olony rehetra.
7 And they see — the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan — that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell in them.
Ary nony hitan’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely teny an-dafin’ ny lohasaha sy teny an-dafin’ i Jordana fa nandositra ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, ary maty Saoly sy ny zanany, dia niala tao an-tanàna izy ka nandositra; ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nonina tao.
8 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa,
Ary nony ampitso, raha tonga haka ny zavatra teo amin’ ny maty ny Filistina, dia nahita an’ i Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy niampatrampatra teo an-tendrombohitra Gilboa izy.
9 and they cut off his head, and strip off his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim tidings [in] the house of their idols, and [among] the people;
Ary notapahiny ny lohany, sady nalainy ny fiadiany, ary dia naniraka tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina manodidina izy hanambara izany zavatra mahafaly izany ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny sampiny sy amin’ ny olona.
10 and they place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and his body they have fixed on the wall of Beth-Shan.
Dia napetrany tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Astarta ny fiadiany; ary ny fatiny nohomboany teo amin’ ny màndan’ i Beti-sana.
11 And they hear regarding it — the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead — that which the Philistines have done to Saul,
Ary nony ren’ ny mponina tany Jabesi-gileada izay nataon’ ny Filistina tamin’ i Saoly,
12 and all the men of valour arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come in to Jabesh, and burn them there,
dia niainga ny lehilahy mahery rehetra ka nandeha mandritra ny alina ary naka ny fatin’ i Saoly sy ny fatin’ ny zanany teo amin’ ny màndan’ i Beti-sana; ary tonga tao Jabesy izy ka nandoro azy tao.
13 and they take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
Ary nentiny ny taolany ka naleviny tao ambanin’ ilay hazo tamariska tao Jabesy, ary dia nifady hanina hafitoana izy.
