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 from before the Philistines, and fell down 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 after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua, 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.
The battle grew fierce against Saul, and the archers overtook 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 said Saul to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and torture me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his 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 likewise fell on his 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, and his three sons; and all his house died 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.
When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
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.
It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that 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 him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, 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.
They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened 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,
When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard all that 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 valiant men arose, 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 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 trespass which he committed against YHWH, because of the word of YHWH, which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire thereby,
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 did not inquire of YHWH: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
