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 from before the Philistines, and the wounded fell in 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 followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, 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, went sore, against Saul, and the archers discovered him with the bow, —and he was terrified because 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.
Therefore said Saul unto his armour-bearer, Draw out thy sword and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly, —so then 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 his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then, he also, fell upon the sword, and died.
6 Ka dia niara-maty Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy ary ny ankohonany rehetra.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and, all his house, together, died.
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 vale saw, that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then forsook they 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, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, —that they found Saul, and his sons, lying prostrate in 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.
So they stript him, and took his head, and his armour, —and sent throughout 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 armour, in the house of their gods, —but, his skull, fastened they up, in the house of Dagon.
11 Ary nony ren’ ny mponina rehetra tao Jabesi-gileada izay rehetra nataon’ ny Filistina tamin’ i Saoly,
And, when all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that 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 rose up all the men of valour, and took away the corpse of Saul, and the corpses of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, —and buried their bodies under the terebinth, in Jabesh, and 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
Thus died Saul, for his unfaithfulness wherewith he dealt unfaithfully against Yahweh, over the word of Yahweh, which he kept not, —and, also, in asking by necromancy when he desired to enquire;
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 enquired not of Yahweh, wherefore he slew him, —and turned round the kingdom unto David, son of Jesse.
