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. Every man of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead 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 closely pursued Saul and his son. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
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 went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him, 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.
Then said Saul to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it. Otherwise, these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. 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 likewise 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 died, and his three sons, so all his household members died 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.
When every man of Israel in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and lived 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.
It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, that they found Saul and his sons fallen 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 and took his head and his armor. They sent messengers throughout Philistia to carry the news to their 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.
They put his armor in the temple of their gods, and fastened 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,
When all Jabesh Gilead heard of 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 fighting men went and took away the body of Saul and those of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and 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 because he was unfaithful to Yahweh. He did not obey Yahweh's instructions, but asked for advice from someone who talked with the dead.
14 Boye Yawe abomaki ye mpe apesaki bokonzi epai ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi.
He did not seek guidance from Yahweh, so Yahweh killed him and turned over the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
