< 1 Maũndũ 10 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti nĩmarũire na Isiraeli; nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩmoorĩra, na aingĩ ao makĩũragĩrwo Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Giliboa.
Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from the Philistines, and they fell down wounded on mount Gilboa.
2 Afilisti makĩhatĩrĩria Saũlũ na ariũ ake mũno, na makĩũraga ariũ ake Jonathani, na Abinadabu, na Maliki-Shua.
And when the Philistines had drawn near, pursuing Saul and his sons, they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Na rĩrĩ, mbaara nĩyaneneheire Saũlũ mũno, na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikia a mĩguĩ maamũkinyĩrire, makĩmũguraria.
And the battle grew heavy against Saul. And the archers found him, and they wounded him with arrows.
4 Nake Saũlũ akĩĩra mũkuui wa indo ciake cia mbaara atĩrĩ, “Comora rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora ũũthece naruo, nĩguo andũ aya mataruaga matigooke kũnyararithia.” No mũndũ ũcio mũkuui wa indo ciake cia mbaara agĩĩtigĩra mũno, akĩrega gwĩka ũguo; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ akĩoya rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, akĩrũgwĩra.
And Saul said to his armor bearer: “Unsheathe your sword and kill me. Otherwise, these uncircumcised men may arrive and mock me.” But his armor bearer was not willing, having been struck with fear. And so, Saul took hold of his sword, and he fell upon it.
5 Rĩrĩa mũkuui wa indo cia mbaara onire atĩ Saũlũ nĩakua, o nake akĩgwĩra rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, agĩkua.
And when his armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ na ariũ ake atatũ magĩkua, nao andũ othe a nyũmba yake magĩgĩkua o hamwe.
Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.
7 Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ kĩanda moonire atĩ ita nĩrĩorĩte, na atĩ Saũlũ na ariũ ake nĩmakuĩte-rĩ, magĩtiganĩria matũũra mao, makĩũra; nao Afilisti magĩthiĩ magĩikara kuo.
And when the men of Israel who were living in the plains had seen this, they fled. And since Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and were dispersed, here and there. And the Philistines arrived and lived among them.
8 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Afilisti magĩthiĩ gũcuuma ciimba, magĩkora Saũlũ na ariũ ake makuĩte kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Giliboa.
Then, on the next day, when the Philistines were taking away the spoils of the slain, they found Saul and his sons, lying on mount Gilboa.
9 Makĩmũbora, na magĩkuua mũtwe wake, na indo ciake cia mbaara; magĩcooka magĩtũma andũ mathiĩ bũrũri wothe wa Afilisti makaanĩrĩre ũhoro ũcio kũrĩ mĩhianano yao ya kũhooywo, na kũrĩ andũ ao.
And when they had despoiled him, and had cut off his head, and had stripped his armor, they sent these things into their land, so that they would be carried around and displayed in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10 Makĩiga indo cia Saũlũ cia mbaara thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya ngai ciao, naguo mũtwe wake makĩwoherera kũu hekarũ ya Dagoni.
But his armor they consecrated in the shrine of their god, and his head they affixed in the temple of Dagon.
11 No rĩrĩa andũ a Jabeshi-Gileadi maaiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Afilisti meekĩte Saũlũ-rĩ,
When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,
12 njamba ciao cia ita igĩthiĩ, igĩkuua mĩĩrĩ ya Saũlũ na ya ariũ ake, ikĩmĩrehe Jabeshi. Magĩcooka magĩthika mahĩndĩ mao gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũtĩ ũrĩa mũnene kũu Jabeshi, na makĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio mĩthenya mũgwanja.
each one of the valiant men rose up, and they took the bodies of Saul and of his sons. And they brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
13 Saũlũ aakuire nĩ ũndũ ndaarĩ mwĩhokeku kũrĩ Jehova; ndaamenyereire kiugo kĩa Jehova, o na nĩahooire kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ mũragũri atĩ amũtongorie,
Thus did Saul die for his iniquities, because he betrayed the commandment of the Lord which he had instructed, and did not keep it. And moreover, he even consulted a woman diviner;
14 no ndahooire kĩrĩra kũrĩ Jehova. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩmũũraga, na akĩneana ũthamaki kũrĩ Daudi mũrũ wa Jesii.
for he did not trust in the Lord. Because of this, he caused his death, and he transferred his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
