Samuel 1 31
1 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Filistitɔwo dze aʋa la wɔwɔ gɔme kple Israelviwo eye Israelviwo si le wo nu. Wowu Israelvi geɖewo le Gilboa to dzi.
Tsono Afilisti anachitanso nkhondo ndi Aisraeli ndipo Aisraeli anathawa Afilistiwo, kotero kuti ambiri anaphedwa pa phiri la Gilibowa.
2 Filistitɔwo ɖe Saul kple viawo ɖe nu eye wowu viawo; Yonatan, Abinadab kple Malki Sua.
Afilisti anapanikiza kwambiri Sauli ndi ana ake, ndipo anapha Yonatani, Abinadabu ndi Maliki-Suwa.
3 Aʋa la nu sẽ ŋutɔ na Saul eye esi aŋutrɔdalawo tui la wode abi eŋu vevie.
Nkhondo inakula kwambiri mozungulira Sauli ndipo pamene anthu amauta anamupeza, anamuvulaza kwambiri.
4 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.
Tsono Sauli anawuza mnyamata wake wonyamula zida zake kuti, “Solola lupanga lako undiphe kuopa kuti anthu osachita mdulidwewa angabwere kudzandizunza ine.” Koma mnyamata wonyamula zida uja anachita mantha kwambiri ndipo sanathe kutero. Choncho Sauli anatenga lupanga lake lomwe nagwerapo.
5 Esi akpoxɔnutsɔla la kpɔ be Saul ku la, eya hã mu dze eƒe yi nu eye wòku kplii.
Mnyamata wonyamula zida zake uja ataona kuti Sauli wafa, nayenso anadzigwetsera pa lupanga lake nafa naye limodzi.
6 Ale Saul, eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla, Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo kple eƒe aʋawɔlawo ku le ŋkeke ɖeka ma dzi.
Motero Sauli ndi ana ake atatu, wonyamula zida zake pamodzi ndi anthu ake onse anafera limodzi pa tsikulo.
7 Esi Israelvi siwo le balime la godo kple esiwo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo se be yewo nɔviwo si eye wowu Saul kple via ŋutsuawo la, wosi le woƒe duwo me eye Filistitɔwo va nɔ duawo me.
Pamene Aisraeli amene anali tsidya lina la chigwa ndi amene anali tsidya la chigwa cha Yorodani anaona kuti gulu la ankhondo la Aisraeli lathawa komanso kuti Sauli ndi ana ake aphedwa, nawonso anathawa kusiya mizinda yawo. Ndipo Afilisti anabwera kudzakhalamo.
8 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.
Mmawa mwake, Afilisti atabwera kudzatenga zinthu za anthu ophedwa anapeza Sauli ndi ana ake atatu atafa pa phiri la Gilibowa.
9 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.
Iwo anadula mutu wake ndi kumuvula zida zake zankhondo. Ndipo anatumiza amithenga mʼdziko lonse la Afilisti kukafalitsa nkhani yabwinoyi kwa mafano awo ndi kwa anthu awo.
10 Wotsɔ Saul ƒe akpoxɔnu la da ɖe Astarɔt ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wotsɔ eƒe ŋutilã ku gli aɖe ŋu le Bet Sean.
Iwo anayika zida zake zankhondo mʼnyumba yopembedzera Asitoreti, ndipo thupi lake analikhomera pa khoma la mzinda wa Beti-Sani.
11 Esi Yabes Gileadtɔwo se nu si Filistitɔwo wɔ Saul la,
Pamene anthu a ku Yabesi Giliyadi anamva zimene Afilisti anachitira Sauli,
12 aʋawɔlawo katã tso du ma me zɔ mɔ to zã blibo la me yi Bet Sean. Woɖe Saul kple viawo ƒe ŋutilã kukuawo le glia ŋu le Bet Sam eye wotsɔ wo va Yabes Gilead hetɔ dzo wo.
anthu awo onse olimba mtima anayenda usiku wonse kupita ku Beti-Sani. Anakachotsa mtembo wa Sauli ndi mitembo ya ana ake pa khoma la mzinda wa Beti-Sani, ndipo anabwera nayo ku Yabesi kumene anayitentha ndi moto.
13 Woɖi woƒe afi ɖe logoti la te le Yabes eye wotsi nu dɔ ŋkeke adre.
Pambuyo pake anatenga mafupa awo ndi kuwakwirira pansi pa mtengo wabwemba ku Yabesi, ndipo anasala kudya masiku asanu ndi awiri.
