< I Samuel 31 >

1 Ita, nakiranget dagiti Filisteo iti Israel. Intarayan dagiti lallaki iti Israel dagiti Filisteo ket napasagda idiay Bantay Gilboa.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Nakamatan dagiti Filisteo ni Saul ken dagiti annakna a lallaki. Pinatay dagiti Filisteo da Jonatan, Abinadab ken Malkisua, nga annakna a lallaki.
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 Maab-abaken ni Saul iti gubat ket pinana isuna dagiti pumapana. Nakaro nga ut-ot ti marikriknana gapu kadagitoy.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Ket kinuna ni Saul iti agtutubo a para-awit iti igamna, “Asutem ti kampilanmo ket iduyokmo kaniak. Ta no saan, umay dagitoy a saan a nakugit ket parigatendak.” Ngem saan a kayat nga aramiden dayta ti para-awit iti igamna, ta kasta unay ti butengna. Innala ngarud ni Saul ti bukodna a kampilan ket rinugmaanna daytoy.
Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 Idi nakita ti para-awit iti igamna a natayen ni Saul, rinugmaanna met ti kampilanna ket natay met isuna.
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Isu a natay ni Saul, dagiti tallo nga annakna ken ti para-awit iti igamna— natay amin dagitoy a lallaki iti dayta nga aldaw.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 Idi nakita dagiti lallaki iti Israel nga adda iti bangir a paset ti tanap ken kadagiti adda iti labes ti Jordan a nagtatarayen dagiti lallaki ti Israel ken natayen ni Saul ken dagiti annakna, pinanawanda dagiti siudadda ket nagtatarayda. Immay dagiti Filisteo ket nagnaedda kadagitoy.
And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side 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 Ket napasamak nga iti simmaruno nga aldaw, idi immay alaen dagiti Filisteo dagiti kalasag ken igam dagiti natay, nasarakanda ni Saul ken dagiti tallo nga annakna a napasag iti Bantay Gilboa.
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 Pinugotanda ni Saul ken innalada dagiti armasna ket nangibaonda kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti entero a daga dagiti Filisteo tapno iwaragawagda ti damag kadagiti templo ti didiosenda ken kadagiti tattao.
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 Inkabilda dagiti igam ni Saul iti templo ni Astarte ken imbitinda ti bangkayna iti pader ti siudad ti Bet-san.
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Idi nangngeg dagiti agnanaed iti Jabes idiay Galaad ti inaramid dagiti Filisteo kenni Saul,
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 nagrubbuat dagiti amin a mamaingel a lallaki ket nagdaliasatda a nagpatpatnag ket innalada ti bangkay ni Saul ken dagiti bangkay dagiti annakna a lallaki manipud iti pader ti Bet-san. Napanda idiay Jabes ket pinuoranda dagiti bangkay sadiay.
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 Kalpasanna, innalada dagiti tultulang ket inkalida iti sirok ti kayo a tamarisko idiay Jabes, ket nagayunarda iti pito nga aldaw.
And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
