< 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 fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Afilisti makĩhatĩrĩria Saũlũ na ariũ ake mũno, na makĩũraga ariũ ake Jonathani, na Abinadabu, na Maliki-Shua.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Na rĩrĩ, mbaara nĩyaneneheire Saũlũ mũno, na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aikia a mĩguĩ maamũkinyĩrire, makĩmũguraria.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
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.
Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and 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 armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Saũlũ na ariũ ake atatũ magĩkua, nao andũ othe a nyũmba yake magĩgĩkua o hamwe.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died 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 all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Afilisti magĩthiĩ gũcuuma ciimba, magĩkora Saũlũ na ariũ ake makuĩte kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Giliboa.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in 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 stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their 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.
And they put his armour in the house of their elohim, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 No rĩrĩa andũ a Jabeshi-Gileadi maaiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Afilisti meekĩte Saũlũ-rĩ,
And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to 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.
They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 Saũlũ aakuire nĩ ũndũ ndaarĩ mwĩhokeku kũrĩ Jehova; ndaamenyereire kiugo kĩa Jehova, o na nĩahooire kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ mũragũri atĩ amũtongorie,
So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against YHWH, even against the word of YHWH, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;
14 no ndahooire kĩrĩra kũrĩ Jehova. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩmũũraga, na akĩneana ũthamaki kũrĩ Daudi mũrũ wa Jesii.
And inquired not of YHWH: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
