I Samuela 31
1 A KAUA mai la na Pilisetia i ka Iseraela: auhee aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela imua o ko Pilisetia, a haule iho la ka poe i pepehiia ma ka mauna o Gileboa.
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 A hahai ikaika mai la ko Pilisetia ia Saula a me kana mau keiki; a pepehi iho la na Pilisetia ia Ionatana, a ia Abinadaba a me Melekisua, na keiki a Saula.
And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and they put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 A ikaika mai la ke kaua ana ia Saula, a loaa oia i na kanaka pana pua; a haalulu loa iho la ia no ka poe pana pua.
And the fight was going badly for Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
4 I aku ia o Saula i ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua, E unuhi oe i kau pahikaua, a e hou mai ia'u me ia, o hiki mai auanei keia poe i okipoepoe ole ia, a hou mai ia'u, a hoomaewaewa mai ia'u. Aka, aole makemake ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua; no ka mea, ua makau loa ia: no ia mea, lalau o Saula i ka pahikaua, a hoohaule iho la iluna.
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 A ike aku ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua, ua make o Saula, haule iho la ia maluna o kana pahikaua, a make pu me ia.
And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and was united with him in death.
6 A ia la hookahi, make iho la o Saula, a me kana mau keiki ekolu, a me ka mea nana i hali kana mea kaua, a me kona poe kanaka a pau.
So death overtook Saul and his three sons and his servant on the same day.
7 A ike ae la na kanaka o ka Iseraela ma kela aoao o ke awawa, a me ka poe ma kela aoao o Ioredane, ua hee aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a ua make hoi o Saula me kana mau keiki, haalele lakou i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, a holo aku la; a hele mai na Pilisetia a noho iho la malaila.
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 A ia la iho, hele ae la na Pilisetia e hao i ka poe i pepehiia, loaa ia lakou o Saula, a me kana mau keiki ekolu i haule ma ka mauna o Gileboa.
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 A oki iho la lakou i kona poo, a hao ae la i kana mea kaua, a hoouna aku la lakou i ka aina o na Pilisetia a puni e hai aku ma ka hale o ko lakou kii, a i na kanaka.
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 A waiho iho la lakou i kana mea kaua ma ka hale o Asetarota, a hoopaa aku la lakou i kona kino ma ka pa pohaku o Betesana.
His war-dress they put in the house of Astarte; and his body was fixed on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 A lohe ae la na kanaka o Iabesa-gileada i ka mea a na Pilisetia i hana aku ai ia Saula,
And when the people of Jabesh-gilead had news of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 Ku ae la na kanaka koa a pau, a hele aku ia po a ao, a lawe lakou i ke kino o Saula, a me na kino o kana mau keiki mai ka pa pohaku aku o Betesana, a hele mai ma Iabesa, a puhi aku la ia lakou i ke ahi malaila.
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 A lawe lakou i ko lakou mau iwi. a kanu iho la malalo o ka laau ma Iabesa, a hookeai lakou i na la ehiku.
And their bones they put in the earth under a tree in Jabesh; and for seven days they took no food.
