2 Samue 1
1 Hagi Soli'ma fritegeno'a, Ameleki vahera Deviti'a hara huzmagatereteno, tare zagegna Ziklaki kumatera emani'ne.
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They 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.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
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.
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
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.
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 Hagi Deviti'a ana nehaza nera antahigeno, Soli'ene nemofo Jonatanikema fri'na'e nanekea inankna hunka antahi'nane?
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
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.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 Hagi agra rukrahe huno nenageno, kezanke hige'na voe hu'na hugeno,
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 agra anage hu'ne, Kagra izage huno hige'na, nagra kenona'a hu'na, Ameleki ne' mani'noe hu'na asami'noe.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
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 said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
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 to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Hagi ana ke'ma Deviti'ene mika sondia vahe'amo'zama nentahi'za zamasunku nehu'za, kukenazamia tagato hu'naze.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
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 for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
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.
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Hagi ana risera Deviti'a antahigeno, nahigenka masavema frenteno Ra Anumzamofonte'ma huhampri ante'nea nera korera osunka ahe fri'nane?
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
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.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
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.
17 Hagi Deviti'a Soline Jonatanikiznigura asunku nehuno zavi asunenteno,
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and 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,
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 Israeli vahe'mota tamagimo'ma mareri'nea vahetamimotma agonaramimpi frizageno, himamunentake sondi'a vahetamimo'zanena fri'naze.
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
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.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
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.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
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.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
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.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Hagi Israeli mofanemota Solinkura tamasunku nehuta, zavira ateho. Agra marerirfa korankre kukena huneramanteno, golire pasesu kukenatamirera rekamrente'ne.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Hagi ana hapina hanavenentake sondia vahera frizageno, Jonatani'enena fri'negeno, avufgamo'a agonafi me'ne.
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
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.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Hanavenentake sondia vahera ha'pi zamahe vagarazageno, ha'zazmimo'a haviza hu'ne.
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
