1 Mwet Philistia elos mweun lain mwet Israel Fineol Gilboa. Pus mwet Israel misa we. Mwet lula selos, oayapa Tokosra Saul ac wen natul uh, elos kaingla.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Tusruktu, mwet Philistia elos ukwalos ac uniya wen tolu natul Saul: Jonathan, Abinadab, ac Malchishua.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Mweun sac arulana upa ke acn Saul el muta we, na pisrkiyuki el ke pisr nutin mwet lokoalok lal ac yohk kinet kacl.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
4 Saul el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su us mwe mweun natul ah, “Faesak cutlass nutum an ac uniyuwi, tuh mwet Philistia pegan ingan in tia konkin keik.” Tuh mwet fusr sac el arulana sangeng ac kofla orala. Ke ma inge Saul el srukak cutlass natul sifacna ac putatyang nu fac.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 Ke mwet fusr sac liye lah Saul el misa, na el sifacna putatyang nu fin cutlass natul ah, ac misa pac.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
6 Ke ma inge Saul ac wen tolu natul tukenina misa, ac wangin sin fwil natul leum fin acn Israel.
So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
7 Ke mwet Israel su muta Infahlfal Jezreel lohng lah un mwet mweun lalos kaing, ac Saul ac wen natul elos misa, elos sisla acn selos ac kaingla. Na mwet Philistia elos tuku ac muta we.
When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 In len se tukun mweun sac, mwet Philistia elos som in suk ma wap ke mwet misa, na elos koneak manol Saul ac wen natul ah oan Fineol Gilboa.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Elos pakela sifal Saul, ac sarukla mwe loeyuk lal, na elos supwalik ma inge yurin mwet utuk kas nu in facl Philistia nufon in fahkak pweng wo se inge nu ke ma sruloala lalos ac nu sin mwet lalos.
They stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the people.
10 Elos filiya mwe mweun natul Saul in sie sin tempul lalos, ac srupusrak sifal Saul in tempul lal Dagon, god lalos.
They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Ke mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos lohng ma mwet Philistia oru nu sel Saul,
When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 na mwet pulaik lalos som ac eisya manol Saul ac wen natul, ac usla nu Jabesh. Elos pikinya manoltal ye sak oak soko, ac elos lalo ke len itkosr.
all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 Saul el misa mweyen el tia inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. El seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD, ac el suk kasreyuk lal yurin ngunin mwet misa.
So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of Yahweh’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
14 El tuh tia eis kasru lal sin LEUM GOD. Ouinge LEUM GOD El lela tuh elan misa, ac El sang tokosrai sac nu inpaol David, wen natul Jesse.
and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
