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 fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain 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 followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
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 battle was severe against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was severely 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 said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
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 armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
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 Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
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 that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the 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 twa fis li yo tonbe sou Mòn Guilboa.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen 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 they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among 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.
And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to 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 inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which 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 valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them 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 they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
