1 Sama’ila 31
1 Filistiyawa suka yi yaƙi da Isra’ilawa, sai Isra’ilawa suka gudu a gaban Filistiyawa, aka kuma karkashe da yawa a dutsen Gilbowa.
And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
2 Filistiyawa suka abka wa Shawulu da’ya’yansa maza, suka kashe’ya’yan Shawulu. Yonatan da Abinadab da Malki-Shuwa.
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
3 Yaƙin ya yi zafi ƙwarai kewaye da Shawulu, har maharba suka ji masa ciwo sosai bayan sun sha ƙarfinsa.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers.
4 Sai Shawulu ya ce wa mai ɗauka masa makami, “Ka zare takobinka ka soke ni, kada waɗannan marasa kaciya su zo su ci mini mutunci, su kashe ni.” Amma mai ɗaukan makaman bai yarda ba don ya ji tsoro sosai. Sai Shawulu ya zāre takobinsa ya soki kansa.
Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
5 Da mai ɗaukar makamai ya ga Shawulu ya mutu, sai shi ma ya zāre takobinsa ya soki kansa ya mutu.
And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him.
6 Shawulu da yaransa uku da mai ɗaukar makamansa da dukan mutanensa suka mutu a rana ɗaya.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa na bakin kwari da waɗanda suke hayin Urdun suka ga sojojin Isra’ila suna gudu, Shawulu da yaransa uku kuma duk sun mutu, sai suka bar mallakansu suka sheƙa da gudu. Filistiyawa kuwa suka zo suka mamaye wuraren.
And when the men of Israel that were on this side of the valley, and [they] that were on this side of the 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 Kashegari, da Filistiyawa suka zo domin su washe kayan matattun, sai suka tarar Shawulu da’ya’yansa uku duk sun mutu, a dutsen Gilbowa.
And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
9 Suka sare kansa suka tuɓe makamansa, suka aika manzanni a dukan ƙasar Filistiyawa, su ba da labarin a haikalin allolinsu da cikin mutanensu.
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings in the houses of their idols, and to the people.
10 Suka ajiye makaman Shawulu a cikin haikalin gumakan Ashtarot. Suka kafa gawarsa a kan katanga Bet-Shan.
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Sa’ad da mutanen Yabesh Gileyad suka sami labarin abin da Filistiyawa suka yi wa Shawulu.
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 Sai dukan jarumawansu suka tashi cikin dare suka tafi Bet-Shan suka saukar da gawar Shawulu da na’ya’yansa daga kan katangan Bet-Shan suka tafi Yabesh inda suka ƙone su.
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 burned them there.
13 Sai suka kwashi ƙasusuwansu suka binne a gindin itace tsamiya a Yabesh, suka kuma yi azumi kwana bakwai.
And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
