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.
The Philistines attacked Israel and all the Israelites soldiers ran away from them. Many Israelites were cut down on Mount Gilboa.
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.
The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons. The killed Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
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.
The battle raged intensely around Saul. The enemy archers saw where he was, and they wounded him.
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.
Saul told his armor bearer, “Take out your sword and kill me before these heathen come and torment me.” But his armor bearer refused—he was too afraid to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 Tango soda yango amonaki ete Saulo akufi, ye mpe amibwakaki na likolo ya mopanga mpe akufaki.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
6 Ezalaki bongo nde Saulo, bana na ye misato ya mibali mpe libota na ye mobimba bakufaki elongo.
So Saul and three of his sons died there, along with his royal line.
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.
When all the Israelites in the valley saw that their army had run away, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and they also ran away. The Philistines came and occupied 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.
The following day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they discovered the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.
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.
They stripped him, cut off his head, and took his armor. Then they sent the news throughout the land of Philistia, to their idols and their people.
10 Batiaki bibundeli na ye na tempelo ya banzambe na bango mpe badiembikaki mokuwa ya moto na ye kati na tempelo ya Dagoni.
They put Saul's armor in the temple of their idols and fixed his head to the temple of Dagon.
11 Tango bavandi nyonso ya Yabeshi kati na Galadi bayokaki makambo nyonso oyo bato ya Filisitia basalaki Saulo,
However, when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard everything 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 their fighting men went and recovered the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them back and buried them under the large tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted for 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.
Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He did not keep the Lord's commands, and he also went to consult a medium.
14 Boye Yawe abomaki ye mpe apesaki bokonzi epai ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi.
He did not consult the Lord, so the Lord put him to death and he handed over the kingship to David, son of Jesse.
