1 Samyèl 31
1 Alò Filisten yo t ap goumen kont Israël e mesye Israël yo te kouri devan Filisten yo, e yo te tonbe 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 rive sou Saül avèk fis li yo. Konsa, yo te touye Jonathan avèk Abinadab, ak Malkishua, fis a Saül yo.
And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and they put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Batay la te vire rèd kont Saül. Ekip tire flèch ak banza yo te rive sou li; epi li te gravman blese pa ekip banza yo.
And the fight was going badly for Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
4 Konsa, Saül te di a pòtè zam li an: “Rale nepe ou pou frennen m avè l; otreman, Filisten ensikonsi sila yo va vin frennen m nèt e fè spò avè m.” Men pòtè zam nan te refize, paske li te pè 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 out 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, and falling on it, put an end to himself.
5 Lè pòtè zam nan te wè ke Saül te mouri avèk twa fis li yo, li tou te tonbe sou nepe li pou te mouri avèk li.
And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and was united with him in death.
6 Konsa Saül te mouri avèk twa fis li yo, pòtè zam li an, ak tout mesye pa l yo ansanm nan jou sa a.
So death overtook Saul and his three sons and his servant on the same day.
7 Lè mesye Israël ki te lòtbò vale a avèk sila ki te lòtbò Jourdain an, te wè ke mesye Israël yo te sove ale e ke Saül avèk fis li yo te mouri, yo te abandone vil yo e te sove ale. Konsa, Filisten yo te vin viv ladan yo.
And when the men of Israel across the valley and on the other side of Jordan saw that the army of Israel was in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they came out of their towns and went in flight; 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 twa fis li yo tonbe sou Mòn Guilboa.
Now on the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his three sons dead on the earth in Mount Gilboa.
9 Yo te koupe tèt li e te retire zam li yo pou te voye yo toupatou nan peyi Filisten yo, pou pote bòn nouvèl la rive lakay zidòl pa yo ak pèp yo a.
And cutting off his head and taking away his war-dress, they sent word into the land of the Philistines round about, to take the news to their gods and to the people.
10 Yo te mete zam li yo nan tanp Astarté yo e yo te tache kadav li nan miray kote Beth-Schan nan.
His war-dress they put in the house of Astarte; and his body was fixed on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Alò, lè moun ki te rete Jabès yo te tande sa ke Filisten yo te fè a Saül,
And when the people of Jabesh-gilead had news of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 tout mesye vanyan yo te leve mache tout nwit lan pou te pran kò Saül la avèk kò a fis pa li yo soti nan miray Beth-Schan lan. Lè yo te rive Jabès yo te brile yo la.
All the fighting men got up and, travelling all night, took Saul's body and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh and had them burned there.
13 Yo te pran zo yo e te antere yo anba pye tamaren Jabès la e yo te fè jèn pandan sèt jou.
And their bones they put in the earth under a tree in Jabesh; and for seven days they took no food.
