1 Istwa 10
1 Alò, Filisten yo te goumen kont Israël; epi mesye Israël yo te sove ale devan Filisten yo e te mouri sou Mòn Guilboa.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel. And the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Filisten yo te kouri prese dèyè Saül avèk fis li yo, e Filisten yo te touye Jonathan, Abinadab ak Malki-Schua, fis a Saül yo.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Batay la te vin rèd kont Saül e ekip banza yo te rive sou li. Konsa li te blese pa ekip banza yo.
And the battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him. And he was wounded because of the archers.
4 Alò, Saül te di a sila ki te pote zam li yo: “Rale nepe ou e frennen m nèt avè l pou ensikonsi sila yo pa vin abize mwen.” Men pòtè zam li yo pa t fè l, paske li te krent anpil. Pou sa, Saül te pran nepe li e te tonbe sou li.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 Lè pòtè zam li an te wè ke li te mouri, li menm tou te tonbe sou nepe li e te mouri.
And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died.
6 Konsa, Saul te mouri avèk twa fis li yo, e tout lakay li te mouri ansanm.
So Saul died, and his three sons. And all his house died together.
7 Lè tout mesye Israël ki te nan vale yo, te wè ke yo te sove ale, e ke Saül avèk fis li yo te mouri, yo te sove ale kite vil yo. Epi Filisten yo te vin rete ladan yo.
And 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 dwelt in them.
8 Li te vin rive nan pwochen jou a, lè Filisten yo te vini pou depouye mò yo, ke yo te twouve Saül avèk fis li yo tonbe sou Mòn Guilboa a.
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 Konsa, yo te depouye li e te pran tèt li avèk zam avèk boukliye li yo e te voye mesaje antoure tout peyi Filisten yo pou pote bòn nouvèl la rive nan zidòl pa yo avèk pèp la.
And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
10 Yo te mete zam avèk boukliye li yo lakay dye pa yo e te tache kolè tèt li lakay Dagon an.
And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Lè tout moun Jabès-Galaad yo te tande tout sa ke Filisten yo te fè a Saül,
And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 tout mesye gwo kouraj yo te leve e pran kò a Saül avèk kò a fis li yo pou te pote yo Jabès, yo te antere yo anba chenn nan Jabès e te fè jèn pandan sèt jou.
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 Konsa, Saül te mouri pou mal ke li te fè kont SENYÈ a, akoz pawòl a SENYÈ a ke li pa t kenbe; epi osi, paske li te fè demand a youn nan sila ki pale ak mò yo, pou mande konsèy,
So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah, which he did not keep, and also because he asked counsel of a spiritist, to inquire thereby,
14 epi pa t mande konsèy a SENYÈ a. Pou sa, Li te touye li, e te bay wayòm nan a David, fis a Jesse a.
and did not inquire of Jehovah. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
