< 1 Samoela 31 >
1 Ary ny Filistina niady tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary nandositra teo anoloan’ ny Filistina ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, ary niampatrampatra teny an-tendrombohitra Gilboa ny faty.
Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel: and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.
2 Ary ny Filistina nanenjika mafy an’ i Saoly sy ny zanany, ka matin’ ny Filistina Jonatana sy Abinadaba ary Malkisoa, zanak’ i Saoly.
And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and they put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Ary mafy ny ady tamin’ i Saoly, dia nifanehatra tamin’ ny mpandefa tsipìka izy; ary raiki-tahotra indrindra izy noho ny mpandefa tsipìka.
And the fight was going badly for Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
4 Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany: Tsoahy ny sabatrao, ka tsatohy miboroaka aho, fandrao avy irery tsy mifora irery ka hotsatohany miboroaka aho, dia hataony ho fihomehezana. Nefa tsy nety ny mpitondra ny fiadany, fa natahotra loatra izy. Dia nalain’ i Saoly ny sabatra ka nianjerany.
Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take out your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, and falling on it, put an end to himself.
5 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mpitondra ny fiadiany fa maty Saoly, dia mba nianjera tamin’ ny sabany koa izy ka niara-maty taminy.
And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and was united with him in death.
6 Ka dia niara-maty androtrizay ihany Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy sy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany ary ny olony rehetra.
So death overtook Saul and his three sons and his servant on the same day.
7 Ary nony hitan’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely teny an-dafin’ ny lohasaha sy teny an-dafin’ i Jordana fa nandositra ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, ary maty Saoly sy ny zanany, dia niala tao an-tanàna izy ka nandositra; ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nonina tao.
And when the men of Israel across the valley and on the other side of Jordan saw that the army of Israel was in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they came out of their towns and went in flight; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.
8 Ary nony ampitso, raha tonga haka ny zavatra teo amin’ ny maty ny Filistina, dia nahita an’ i Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy niampatrampatra teo an-tendrombohitra Gilboa izy.
Now on the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his three sons dead on the earth in Mount Gilboa.
9 Ary notapahiny ny lohany, sady nalainy ny fiadiany, ary dia naniraka tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina manodidina izy hanambara izany zavatra mahafaly izany ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny sampiny sy amin’ ny olona.
And cutting off his head and taking away his war-dress, they sent word into the land of the Philistines round about, to take the news to their gods and to the people.
10 Dia napetrany tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Astarta ny fiadiany; ary ny fatiny nohomboany teo amin’ ny màndan’ i Beti-sana.
His war-dress they put in the house of Astarte; and his body was fixed on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Ary nony ren’ ny mponina tany Jabesi-gileada izay nataon’ ny Filistina tamin’ i Saoly,
And when the people of Jabesh-gilead had news of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 dia niainga ny lehilahy mahery rehetra ka nandeha mandritra ny alina ary naka ny fatin’ i Saoly sy ny fatin’ ny zanany teo amin’ ny màndan’ i Beti-sana; ary tonga tao Jabesy izy ka nandoro azy tao.
All the fighting men got up and, travelling all night, took Saul's body and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh and had them burned there.
13 Ary nentiny ny taolany ka naleviny tao ambanin’ ilay hazo tamariska tao Jabesy, ary dia nifady hanina hafitoana izy.
And their bones they put in the earth under a tree in Jabesh; and for seven days they took no food.
