1 Tantara 10
1 Ary ny Filistina niady tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary nandositra teo anoloan’ ny Filistina ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, ka niampatrampatra teny an-tendrombohitra Gilboa ny faty.
The Philistines attacked Israel and all the Israelites soldiers ran away from them. Many Israelites were cut down on Mount Gilboa.
2 Ary ny Filistina nanenjika fatratra an’ i Saoly sy ny zanany, ka matin’ ny Filistina Jonatana sy Abinadaba sy Malkisoa, zanakalahin’ i Saoly.
The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons. The killed Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ i Saoly, dia nifanehatra tamin’ ny mpandefa tsipìka izy; ary raiki-tahotra izy noho ny mpandefa tsipìka.
The battle raged intensely around Saul. The enemy archers saw where he was, and they wounded him.
4 Ka hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany: Tsoahy ny sabatrao, ka tsatohy miboroaka aho; fandrao avy irery tsy mifora irery ka hanao ahy ho fihomehezana. Nefa tsy nety ny mpitondra ny fiadiany, fa natahotra loatra izy. Dia nalain’ i Saoly ny sabatra ka nianjerany.
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 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiana fa maty Saoly, dia mba nianjera tamin’ ny sabany koa izy ka maty.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
6 Ka dia niara-maty Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy ary ny ankohonany rehetra.
So Saul and three of his sons died there, along with his royal line.
7 Ary nony hitan’ ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely teny amin’ ny lohasaha fa nandositra ny olona, ary maty Saoly sy ny zanany, dia niala tamin’ ny tanànany izy ka nandositra; ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nonina tao.
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 Ary nony ampitso, raha tonga haka ny zavatra teo amin’ ny faty ny Filistina, dia nahita an’ i Saoly sy ny zananilahy niampatrampatra teo an-tendrombohitra Gilboa izy.
The following day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they discovered the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.
9 Dia nesoriny ny akanjony, ka nentiny ny lohany sy ny fiadiany, ary dia naniraka tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina manodidina izy hanambara izany zavatra mahafaly izany tamin’ ny sampiny sy ny olona.
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 Dia napetrany tao an-tranon’ ny andriamaniny ny fiadian’ i Saoly, ary nohomboany teo amin’ ny tempolin’ i Dagona ny lohany.
They put Saul's armor in the temple of their idols and fixed his head to the temple of Dagon.
11 Ary nony ren’ ny mponina rehetra tao Jabesi-gileada izay rehetra nataon’ ny Filistina tamin’ i Saoly,
However, when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 dia niainga ny lehilahy mahery rehetra naka ny fatin’ i Saoly sy ny fatin’ ny zanany ka nitondra azy ho any Jabesy, ary nandevina ny taolany teo ambanin’ ilay hazo terebinta tany Jabesy izy, ary dia nifady hanina hafitoana.
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 Eny, maty Saoly noho ny nivadihany tamin’ i Jehovah, dia noho ny tsy nitandremany ny tenin’ i Jehovah sy noho ny nakany saina tamin’ izay nanao azy ho tsindrian-javatra
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 ary noho ny tsy nanontaniany tamin’ i Jehovah; ka dia novonoiny izy, ary nafindrany ho an’ i Davida, zanak’ i Jese, ny fanjakana.
He did not consult the Lord, so the Lord put him to death and he handed over the kingship to David, son of Jesse.
