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 the wounded fell 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 smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, 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 sore, against Saul, and the archers discovered him with the bow, —and he was terrified 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.
Therefore said Saul unto his armour-bearer, Draw out thy sword and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly, —so then Saul took the 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 armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then, he also, fell upon the 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, together, died.
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 that were in the vale saw, that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then forsook they 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, lying prostrate 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.
So they stript him, and took his head, and his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it 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 armour, in the house of their gods, —but, his skull, fastened they up, 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.
then rose up all the men of valour, and took away the corpse of Saul, and the corpses of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, —and buried their bodies under the terebinth, 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,
Thus died Saul, for his unfaithfulness wherewith he dealt unfaithfully against Yahweh, over the word of Yahweh, which he kept not, —and, also, in asking by necromancy when he desired to enquire;
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 enquired not of Yahweh, wherefore he slew him, —and turned round the kingdom unto David, son of Jesse.
