< 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 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.
The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Maab-abaken ni Saul iti gubat ket pinana isuna dagiti pumapana. Nakaro nga ut-ot ti marikriknana gapu kadagitoy.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason 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 Saul said to his armour bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me!” But his armour bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 Idi nakita ti para-awit iti igamna a natayen ni Saul, rinugmaanna met ti kampilanna ket natay met isuna.
When his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on 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 with his three sons, his armour bearer, 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.
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived 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.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, 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.
They cut off his head, stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols and to the people.
10 Inkabilda dagiti igam ni Saul iti templo ni Astarte ken imbitinda ti bangkayna iti pader ti siudad ti Bet-san.
They put his armour in the house of the 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,
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what 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, 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 Kalpasanna, innalada dagiti tultulang ket inkalida iti sirok ti kayo a tamarisko idiay Jabes, ket nagayunarda iti pito nga aldaw.
They took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
