2 Filistitɔwo ɖe Saul kple viawo ɖe nu eye wowu viawo; Yonatan, Abinadab kple Malki Sua.
AmaFilisti asenamathela kuSawuli lamadodana akhe; amaFilisti abulala uJonathani, loAbinadaba, loMaliki-Shuwa, amadodana kaSawuli.
3 Aʋa la nu sẽ ŋutɔ na Saul eye esi aŋutrɔdalawo tui la wode abi eŋu vevie.
Lempi yaba nzima kuSawuli, abatshoki bamfica, amadoda edandili; wasesiba lobuhlungu kakhulu ngabatshoki.
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.
USawuli wasesithi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe: Hwatsha inkemba yakho, ungigwaze ngayo, hlezi laba abangasokanga bafike bangigwaze, badlale kubi ngami. Kodwa umthwali wezikhali zakhe kavumanga, ngoba wesaba kakhulu. Ngakho uSawuli wathatha inkemba, waziwisela phezu kwayo.
5 Esi akpoxɔnutsɔla la kpɔ be Saul ku la, eya hã mu dze eƒe yi nu eye wòku kplii.
Lapho umthwali wezikhali zakhe ebona ukuthi uSawuli usefile, laye waziwisela phezu kwenkemba yakhe, wafa kanye laye.
6 Ale Saul, eƒe akpoxɔnutsɔla, Via ŋutsu etɔ̃awo kple eƒe aʋawɔlawo ku le ŋkeke ɖeka ma dzi.
Wafa-ke uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu lomthwali wezikhali zakhe labo bonke abantu bakhe ngalolosuku ndawonye.
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.
Lapho amadoda akoIsrayeli ayengaphetsheya kwesigodi layengaphetsheya kweJordani ebona ukuthi amadoda akoIsrayeli abalekile, lokuthi uSawuli lamadodana akhe sebefile, atshiya imizi, abaleka; amaFilisti asefika, ahlala kiyo.
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.
Kwasekusithi kusisa lapho amaFilisti efika ukuhlubula ababuleweyo, afica uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu bewile entabeni yeGilibowa.
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.
Asequma ikhanda lakhe, ahlubula izikhali zakhe, athumela elizweni lamaFilisti inhlangothi zonke ukumemezela imibiko endlini yezithombe zabo lebantwini.
10 Wotsɔ Saul ƒe akpoxɔnu la da ɖe Astarɔt ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wotsɔ eƒe ŋutilã ku gli aɖe ŋu le Bet Sean.
Abeka izikhali zakhe endlini kaAshitarothi. Abophela isidumbu sakhe emdulini weBeti-Shani.
11 Esi Yabes Gileadtɔwo se nu si Filistitɔwo wɔ Saul la,
Kwathi abahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi sebezwile ngalokho amaFilisti akwenze kuSawuli,

asukuma wonke amaqhawe, ahamba ubusuku bonke, athatha isidumbu sikaSawuli lezidumbu zamadodana akhe emdulini weBeti-Shani, eza eJabeshi, azitshisa khona.
13 Woɖi woƒe afi ɖe logoti la te le Yabes eye wotsi nu dɔ ŋkeke adre.
Asethatha amathambo abo, awangcwaba ngaphansi kwesihlahla setamarisiki eJabeshi, azila ukudla insuku eziyisikhombisa.
