1 Masolo ya Kala 10
1 Bato ya Filisitia babundisaki bana ya Isalaele. Bana ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso na bango mpe mingi kati na bango bakufaki na ngomba Giliboa.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
2 Nzokande, bato ya Filisitia batingamaki kolanda Saulo mpe bana na ye ya mibali, bongo babomaki Jonatan, Abinadabi mpe Maliki-Shuwa oyo bazalaki bana na ye.
And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 Bitumba ekomaki lisusu makasi mpo na koluka bomoi ya Saulo. Tango basoda oyo babundaka na matolotolo bamonaki ye, Saulo alengaki na somo makasi wana asosolaki ete bakoboma ye.
And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
4 Saulo alobaki na soda oyo amemaki bibundeli na ye: « Bimisa mopanga na yo mpe boma ngai, noki te bato oyo bakatama ngenga te bakoya kosakanela ngai. » Kasi soda yango abangaki mpe aboyaki koboma ye; bongo ye moko Saulo azwaki mopanga mpe amibwakaki na likolo na yango.
And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 Tango soda yango amonaki ete Saulo akufi, ye mpe amibwakaki na likolo ya mopanga mpe akufaki.
And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
6 Ezalaki bongo nde Saulo, bana na ye misato ya mibali mpe libota na ye mobimba bakufaki elongo.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
7 Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele, oyo bazalaki kovanda na lubwaku, bamonaki ete mampinga esili kopanzana, mpe ete Saulo mpe bana na ye ya mibali bakufi, basundolaki bingumba na bango mpe bakimaki. Bato ya Filisitia bayaki kovanda na bingumba yango.
And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.
8 Mokolo oyo elandaki, tango bato ya Filisitia bayaki mpo na kolongola biloko oyo ezalaki na banzoto ya bibembe, bamonaki Saulo mpe bana na ye ya mibali oyo bakufaki na ngomba Giliboa.
And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
9 Bazwaki biloko na ye, bamemaki moto na ye elongo na bibundeli na ye, mpe batindaki bato na mokili mobimba ya bato ya Filisitia mpo ete bapanza sango malamu oyo ya elonga epai ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe epai ya bato na bango.
And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10 Batiaki bibundeli na ye na tempelo ya banzambe na bango mpe badiembikaki mokuwa ya moto na ye kati na tempelo ya Dagoni.
And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
11 Tango bavandi nyonso ya Yabeshi kati na Galadi bayokaki makambo nyonso oyo bato ya Filisitia basalaki Saulo,
And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 bilombe na bango nyonso batelemaki, bakendeki kozwa bibembe ya Saulo mpe ya bana na ye ya mibali; mpe bamemaki yango na Yabeshi. Sima na bango kokunda mikuwa na bango na Yabeshi, na se ya nzete ya terebente, bakilaki bilei mikolo sambo.
All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saulo akufaki mpo ete atosaki Yawe te, abatelaki Liloba na Yawe te mpe akendeki kotuna makambo epai ya moto oyo asololaka na milimo ya bakufi, na esika ya kotuna makambo epai na Yawe.
So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
14 Boye Yawe abomaki ye mpe apesaki bokonzi epai ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi.
And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
