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 fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain 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 followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, 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 battle went sore against Saul, an the archers overtook him; and he was in great anguish by reason of 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 said Saul to his armour-bearer: 'Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and make a mock of me.' But his armour-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
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 armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him.
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 Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
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 that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were beyond 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 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.
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 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 they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto the house of their idols, 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.
And they put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to 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 inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him that which 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 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 they came to Jabesh, and burnt them 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 they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
