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 there fell down [many] slain on 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 the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua', 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 was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, the men with bows; and he was greatly in dread 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.
And Saul said unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid; wherefore Saul took the 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 armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise 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.
Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, also all his men, on 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 those that were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons had died: they forsook the cities, and fled away; 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, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on 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 armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among 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 armor in the house of 'Ashtaroth; and his body they fastened 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 Yabeshgil'ad 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.
Then arose all the valiant men, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Yabesh, 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 at Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
