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 warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
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 pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, 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 prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
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.
And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a 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 his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
6 Konsa, Saul te mouri avèk twa fis li yo, e tout lakay li te mouri ansanm.
So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
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 all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, and they left 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 next [day] that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gelbue.
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 armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings 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 their armour in the house of their god, and they put 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 all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
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.
And all the mighty men rose up from Galaad, and they took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabis, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabis, 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 transgressions, wherein he transgressed against God, against the word of the Lord, forasmuch as he kept [it] not, because Saul enquired of a wizard to seek [counsel], and Samuel the prophet answered him:
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 he sought not the Lord: so he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
