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 were fighting against Israel; and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded 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 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 vin rèd kont Saül e ekip banza yo te rive sou li. Konsa li te blese pa ekip banza yo.
And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by 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 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 pòtè zam li an te wè ke li te mouri, li menm tou te tonbe sou nepe li e te mouri.
And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
6 Konsa, Saul te mouri avèk twa fis li yo, e tout lakay li te mouri ansanm.
So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end 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 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 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.
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 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 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 te mete zam avèk boukliye li yo lakay dye pa yo e te tache kolè tèt li lakay 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 tout moun Jabès-Galaad yo te tande tout sa ke Filisten yo te fè a Saül,
And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what 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 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 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 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 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 not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
