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.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain 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.
And the Philistines pursuing them overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
3 Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ i Saoly, dia nifanehatra tamin’ ny mpandefa tsipìka izy; ary raiki-tahotra izy noho ny mpandefa tsipìka.
And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
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.
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid: wherefore Saul took the sword and fell upon it.
5 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiana fa maty Saoly, dia mba nianjera tamin’ ny sabany koa izy ka maty.
And when the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise on the sword, and died.
6 Ka dia niara-maty Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy ary ny ankohonany rehetra.
Thus died Saul and his three sons; and all his household died together.
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.
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead: they forsook their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in 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.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his sons fallen 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.
And they stripped him, and they carried away his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
10 Dia napetrany tao an-tranon’ ny andriamaniny ny fiadian’ i Saoly, ary nohomboany teo amin’ ny tempolin’ i Dagona ny lohany.
And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and his skull they fastened in the temple of Dagon.
11 Ary nony ren’ ny mponina rehetra tao Jabesi-gileada izay rehetra nataon’ ny Filistina tamin’ i Saoly,
And when all Yabesh-gil'ad heard all 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.
Then arose all the valiant men, and carried away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh; and they buried their bones under the terebinth in Yabesh, and they fasted 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
And [so] died Saul for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he had not kept, and also for asking one of a familiar spirit to inquire of the same;
14 ary noho ny tsy nanontaniany tamin’ i Jehovah; ka dia novonoiny izy, ary nafindrany ho an’ i Davida, zanak’ i Jese, ny fanjakana.
And had not inquired of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned over the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
