< 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 there fell down [many] slain on 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 overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
3 Maab-abaken ni Saul iti gubat ket pinana isuna dagiti pumapana. Nakaro nga ut-ot ti marikriknana gapu kadagitoy.
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 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.
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 Idi nakita ti para-awit iti igamna a natayen ni Saul, rinugmaanna met ti kampilanna ket natay met isuna.
And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he 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.
Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, also all his men, on 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 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 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, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on 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 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 Inkabilda dagiti igam ni Saul iti templo ni Astarte ken imbitinda ti bangkayna iti pader ti siudad ti Bet-san.
And they put his armor in the house of 'Ashtaroth; and his body they fastened 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 Yabeshgil'ad heard concerning him 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.
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 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 the tamarisk-tree at Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
