2 Samue 1

1 Hagi Soli'ma fritegeno'a, Ameleki vahera Deviti'a hara huzmagatereteno, tare zagegna Ziklaki kumatera emani'ne.

After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites. He stayed in Ziklag for two days.

2 Hagi nampa 3 knazupa mago nehaza ne'mo kukena'a tagato nehuno, asenifina kugusopa kateno freteno, Soli sondia vahe'mokizmi seli nonkumapinti atreno freno e'ne. Hagi ana ne'mo'ma Devitinte'ma enehanatino'a, Deviti agafi avugosaregati emase'ne.

Then on the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp. His clothes were torn and he had dust on his head. When he approached David, he bowed before him, and fell to the ground in respect.

3 Hagi ana nera Deviti'a anage huno antahige'ne, Kagra igati e'nane? Higeno ana ne'mo kenona huno, Nagra Israeli vahe seli nonkumapinti fre'na e'noe.

“Where have you come from?” David asked him. “I got away from the Israelite camp,” he replied.

4 Higeno Deviti'a antahigeno, Muse hugantonki na'a fore hu'nefi nasamio, higeno ana ne'mo'a kenona huno, rama'a vahera hapintira atre'za fri'zageno, rama vahetamine, Soline, nemofo Jonataninena zamahe fri'naze.

“Tell me what happened,” David asked. “The army ran away from the battle,” the man replied. “Many of them died, and Saul and his son Jonathan also died.”

5 Hagi Deviti'a ana nehaza nera antahigeno, Soli'ene nemofo Jonatanikema fri'na'e nanekea inankna hunka antahi'nane?

“How do you know Saul and Jonathan died?” David asked the man giving the report.

6 Ana nehaza ne'mo'a kenona huno, Nagra Gilboa agonare mani'nena kogeno, Soli'a karugaru keve'are rentinti huno oti'ne. Hagi ha' vahe'mofo karisimo'za eme azeri'za nehazage'na ke'noe.

“I just happened to be there on Mount Gilboa,” he replied. “I saw Saul, leaning on his spear, with the enemy chariots and the charioteers advancing on him.

7 Hagi agra rukrahe huno nenageno, kezanke hige'na voe hu'na hugeno,

He turned around and saw me. He called out and I replied, ‘I'm here to help!’

8 agra anage hu'ne, Kagra izage huno hige'na, nagra kenona'a hu'na, Ameleki ne' mani'noe hu'na asami'noe.

He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him, ‘I'm an Amalekite.’

9 Anage hugeno, agra anage hu'ne, Muse hugantonki amare enka eme nahefrio. Na'ankure nagra ofri amane mani'noanagi tusi nata negrige'na maraguzanetuanki eme nahe frige'na, fri'neno huno hu'ne.

Then he told me, ‘Please come over here and kill me! I'm in terrible agony but life is still hanging on.’

10 Hige'na nagra agrite uravao hu'na ahe fri'noe. Na'ankure nagra kena antahi'nama huana agra ra hazenke eri'neankino manigara osu'nege'na, ahe nefri'na, kini fetori'a e'neri'na, azampinti asama'a katufe'na ama eri'na ranimokarega neue.

So I went over him and killed him, because I knew that wounded as he was he couldn't last long. I took the crown from his head and his bracelet from his arm, and I've brought them here to you, my lord.”

11 Hagi ana ke'ma Deviti'ene mika sondia vahe'amo'zama nentahi'za zamasunku nehu'za, kukenazamia tagato hu'naze.

David grabbed hold of his clothes and ripped them, as did his men.

12 Hagi Soline Jonatanine, Ra Anumzamofo sondia vahetamine, rama'a vahetamine Israeli vahetamima fri'naza zanku zamasunku nehu'za, zamagra zavi krafa nehu'za ne'zana one mani'nageno vuno kinagase'ne. Na'ankure rama'a vahetamina bainati kazinknonteti'ma zamahe fri'naza zanku anara hu'naze.

They mourned and cried and fasted until the evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the Lord, the Israelites, that had been killed by the sword.

13 Hagi kema erino e'nea nehaza nera Deviti'a antahigeno, Kagra iga rise mani'nane, higeno ana risemo'a huno Nagra Ameleki vahe'ma kagri mopafima emani'naza vahe'mokizmi mofavre mani'noe huno hu'ne.

David asked man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I'm the son of a foreigner,” he replied “I'm an Amalekite.”

14 Hagi ana risera Deviti'a antahigeno, nahigenka masavema frenteno Ra Anumzamofonte'ma huhampri ante'nea nera korera osunka ahe fri'nane?

“Why weren't you worried about killing the Lord's anointed one?” David asked.

15 Huteno Deviti'a mago sondia ne' ke higeno egeno, ana nera bainati kazinknoteti ome akafrio, huno higeno ana nehaza nera ome ahe fri'ne.

David called over one of his men and said, “Go ahead, kill him!” So the man cut the Amalekite down and killed him.

16 Ana higeno Deviti'a ana Ameleki ne'mofo avufga negeno anage hu'ne, kagra'a hu'nana hazenke zamofo nona'a frine. Kagraka'a huama hunka nagra Ra Anumzamo'ma huhamprinte'nea kini ne' ahe fri'noe hunka hu'nane.

David had told the Amalekite, “Your death is your own fault because you testified against yourself when you said, ‘I killed the Lord's anointed one.’”

17 Hagi Deviti'a Soline Jonatanikiznigura asunku nehuno zavi asunenteno,

Then David sang this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan.

18 Judia vahekura ana zagamera rempi huzaminke'za hiho huno hu'ne. Hagi ama ana zagamera atimofo zagamere hu'za nehazankino, Jasari avontafepi krente'naze. Amanage huno ana zagamera Deviti'a hu'ne,

He ordered it to be taught to the people of Judah. It is called “the Bow” and is recorded in the Book of the Just:

19 Israeli vahe'mota tamagimo'ma mareri'nea vahetamimotma agonaramimpi frizageno, himamunentake sondi'a vahetamimo'zanena fri'naze.

“Israel, the glorious one lies dead on your mountains. How the mighty have fallen!

20 Ana zamofo agenkea Gati kumapina ome huama nosuta, Askeloni kumapinena ome hu amara osiho. Ru Filistia vahe'mokizmi mofa'nemo'za muse hugahaze. Hagi oku zamavufaga taga osu Filistia vahe'mokizmi mofa'nemo'za antahisu'za muse nehu'za tagizaregahaze.

Don't announce it in the town of Gath, don't proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the Philistine women won't rejoice, so that the heathen women won't celebrate.

21 Gilboa agonarera atara ohesigeno, kora ruontena, hozafima ofama hu witi raga reontesie. Na'ankure hanave ne'mofo hankoa azeri pehana higeno, Solina mago'ane hankoarera masavena freontegosie.

Mountains of Gilboa, may no dew or rain fall on you! May you have no fields that produce offerings of grain. For it was there that the shield of the mighty was defiled; Saul's shield, no longer cared for with olive oil.

22 Jonatani atia vahe ahe vagare ati me'neankino hatetira amane omegosie. Hagi Soli bainati kazimo'a, amane nomaneanki hanave sondia vahe nezamahegeno, ha' vahe'zamimofo koramo'a ana kazintera avite'ne.

Jonathan with his bow did not retreat from attacking the enemy; Saul with his sword did not return empty-handed from shedding blood.

23 Soli'ene Jonatanikea kasefa'ma huke mani'natera, vahe'mo'za zamavesi neznante'za knare huznante'naze. Zanagra kasefa'ma hu'ne maninatera tagrote'ne mani'nene, fri'ana magoka frie. Zanagra tumpa namamo'ma ame huno eankna nehuke, laionimofo hanavegna hanavezanimo'a hu'ne.

During their lives, Saul and Jonathan were much loved and very pleasant, and death did not divide them. They were faster than eagles, stronger than lions.

24 Hagi Israeli mofanemota Solinkura tamasunku nehuta, zavira ateho. Agra marerirfa korankre kukena huneramanteno, golire pasesu kukenatamirera rekamrente'ne.

Women of Israel, mourn for Saul, who gave you fine scarlet clothes decorated with gold ornaments.

25 Hagi ana hapina hanavenentake sondia vahera frizageno, Jonatani'enena fri'negeno, avufgamo'a agonafi me'ne.

How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies dead on your mountains.

26 Hagi nenafu Jonataniga kagrikura tusiza hu'na zavi krafa nehu'na, kagrira tusiza hu'na navesigantoe. Kagrama nagri'ma kavesinante'nanana vene'nemo'ma a'nema avesinentea avamena agaterenka, kavesinante'nane.

I weep so much for you, my brother Jonathan! You were so very dear to me! Your love for me was so wonderful, greater than the love women have!

27 Hanavenentake sondia vahera ha'pi zamahe vagarazageno, ha'zazmimo'a haviza hu'ne.

How the mighty have fallen! The weapons of war are gone!”
