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 were fighting against Israel; and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.
2 Moun Filisti yo rive sou Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo. Yo touye Jonatan, Abinadab ak Malchichwa frèt.
And the Philistines went hard after Saul and his sons, and put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
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.
And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
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 the servant who had the care of his arms, Take your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, falling on it himself.
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.
And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
6 Se konsa, ni Sayil ni twa pitit gason l' yo te mouri. Jou sa a, tout mesye Sayil yo te mouri.
So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end together.
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.
And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the men of Israel had gone in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they went in flight away from their towns; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.
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.
Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in 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.
And they took everything off him, and took his head and his war-dress, and sent word into the land of the Philistines round about to give the news to their gods and to the 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.
And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Lè moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, vin konnen sa moun Filisti yo te fè Sayil,
And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what 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 the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for 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 death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,
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 not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
