1 Ebyomumirembe 10
1 Awo Abafirisuuti ne balumba Isirayiri, abasajja Abayisirayiri ne babadduka era bangi ku bo ne battibwa ku Lusozi Girubowa.
And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
2 Abafirisuuti ne bagobera ddala Sawulo ne batabani be, era batabani be Yonasaani, ne Abinadaabu ne Malukisiwa ne battibwa.
and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
3 Olutalo ne lweyongerera ddala ne Sawulo ne yeeraliikirira nnyo, anti n’abalasi nga bamutuseeko era baamulasa n’alumizibwa.
And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
4 Awo Sawulo n’agamba eyamusituliranga ebyokulwanyisa bye nti, “Sowola ekitala kyo, onfumite, ng’abasajja abo abatali bakomole tebannajja ku nswaza.” Naye eyamusituliranga ebyokulwanyisa bye n’atya nnyo, era n’agaana. Sawulo kyeyava asowolayo ekitala kye n’akigwako.
and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, 'Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come — and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;
5 Awo eyamusituliranga ebyokulwanyisa bwe yalaba nga Sawulo afudde, naye n’asowolayo ekikye ne yetta.
and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
6 Sawulo n’afa bw’atyo ne batabani be bonsatule, era n’abo mu nnyumba ye bonna ne bafa.
and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
7 Awo Abayisirayiri bonna abaali mu kiwonvu, bwe baalaba ng’eggye lyabwe lidduse, nga ne Sawulo ne batabani be bafudde, ne baleka ebibuga byabwe ne badduka, Abafirisuuti ne bajja ne babibeeramu.
And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 Enkeera, Abafirisuuti bwe bajja okwambula abafudde, ne basanga Sawulo ne batabani be nga bafiiridde ku Lusozi Girubowa.
And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,
9 Ne bamwambula, ne bamuggyako ebyokulwanyisa bye, ne bamutemako omutwe, era ne batuma n’ababaka okuddayo mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti okubategeeza amawulire ago.
and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people,
10 Ne bateeka ebyokulwanyisa bya Sawulo mu ssabo lya bakatonda baabwe, ate n’omutwe gwe ne guwanikibwa mu ssabo lya Dagoni.
and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
11 Awo ab’e Yabesugireyaadi bonna bwe baawulira byonna Abafirisuuti bye baakola Sawulo,
And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
12 abasajja abazira mu bo ne bagenda ne baggyayo omulambo gwa Sawulo n’eggya batabani be, ne bagireeta e Yabesi. Ne baziika amagumba gaabwe wansi w’omwera e Yabesi, era ne basiibira ennaku musanvu.
and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
13 Bw’atyo Sawulo n’afa olw’obutaba mwesigwa eri Mukama, n’obutakwata kigambo kya Mukama, ate n’okulagulwa omusamize n’amwebuuzaako,
And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit — to inquire, —
14 mu kifo ky’okwebuuza ku Mukama. Mukama kyeyava atta Sawulo n’obwakabaka n’abuwa Dawudi mutabani wa Yese.
and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
