1 Istwa 10
1 Moun Filisti yo leve yon sèl batay ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou mòn Gilboa. Anpil nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mouri, rès yo te kouri met deyò.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Moun Filisti yo rive sou Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo. Yo touye Jonatan, Abinadab ak Malchichwa frèt.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 Batay la te mangonmen kote Sayil te ye a. Mesye ki t'ap voye flèch nan banza yo te konmanse ap vize sou li. Lè li wè sa, li pran tranble.
When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him.
4 Li rele gad kò ki t'ap pote zam li yo, li di l' konsa: -Rale nepe ou, touye m' pou bann moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pa gen tan rive sou mwen pou yo pase m' nan betiz. Men, gad kò a pa t' vle paske li te pè anpil. Lè sa a, Sayil pran nepe a, li vire l' tèt anba, li lage kò l' sou li.
Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 Lè gad kò a wè Sayil te mouri, li fè menm bagay la tou, li lage kò l' sou nepe pa li a, li mouri ansanm ak Sayil.
When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died.
6 Se konsa, ni Sayil ni twa pitit gason l' yo te mouri. Jou sa a, tout mesye Sayil yo te mouri.
So Saul died together with his three sons and all his house.
7 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te rete nan fon an te wè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo kouri epi Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo mouri. Lè sa a, yo leve kite lavil kote yo te rete yo, yo met deyò. Moun Filisti yo vini, yo pran lavil yo pou yo.
When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
8 Nan denmen apre batay la, moun Filisti yo tounen pou pran zam ki te sou kadav sòlda mouri yo, yo jwenn kadav Sayil ak kadav twa pitit gason l' yo kouche atè sou mòn Gilboa a.
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Yo koupe tèt Sayil, yo pran tout zam li yo. Lèfini, yo voye gaye bon nouvèl sa a nan tout peyi Filisti a, nan tanp zidòl yo ak nan zòrèy tout pèp la.
They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.
10 Yo mete zam Sayil yo nan tanp Astate, zidòl yo a. Epi yo pran tèt li, yo kloure l' nan tanp Dagon an.
They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 Lè moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, vin konnen sa moun Filisti yo te fè Sayil,
When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 tout mesye ki te brave danje yo leve, y' al pran kadav Sayil la ansanm ak kadav pitit gason l' yo, yo tounen ak yo lavil Jabès. Yo antere zosman yo anba pye tonmaren ki nan lavil Jabès la. Apre sa, yo pase sèt jou san manje.
all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
13 Se konsa Sayil mouri paske li pa t' kenbe pawòl li ak Seyè a. Li pa t' obeyi lòd Seyè a te ba li. Li te pito fè yo rele nanm moun mouri pou l' te konnen sa ki tapral rive l',
So Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,
14 pase pou l' te al mande Seyè a sa. Se poutèt sa Seyè a te touye l', li renmèt gouvènman an nan men David, pitit lzayi a.
and he failed to inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
