1 Tantara 10
1 Nialy am’ Israele o nte-Pelistio; naho nitriban-day amo nte-Pelistio t’Israele vaho nitsingorotritse, zinamañe am-bohi’ i Gilboa eo.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel. And the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Nitokoe’ o nte-Pelistio t’i Saole naho o ana’eo vaho zinevo’ o nte-Pelistio t’Ionatane naho i Abinadabe vaho i Malkisoà, ana’ i Saole.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Nanjomòtse amy Saole i hotakotakey le nitakare’ o mpitàm-paleo am-pale naho nahafere aze o mpitàm-paleo.
And the battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him. And he was wounded because of the archers.
4 Le hoe t’i Saole amy mpitàm-pikala’ey, Apontsoaño o fibara’oo, le atrebeho amako tsy mone homb’ etoy o tsy nisavareñeo hanao sarerak’ ahy. Fe tsy nimete i mpitàm-pikala’ey amy t’ie nangebahebake. Aa le rinambe’ i Saole i fibara’ey vaho nikorovoha’e.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 Ie nioni’ i mpitàm-pikala’ey te nihomake t’i Saole le niforetrak’ amy fibara’ey ka vaho nivetrake.
And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died.
6 Aa le nihomake t’i Saole naho i ana’e telo rey; sindre nitrao-pikoromake o añ’ anjomba’eo.
So Saul died, and his three sons. And all his house died together.
7 Ie nioni’ ze hene nte-Israele am-bavatane ao te nitriban-day naho nihomake t’i Saole naho o ana’eo, le nenga’ iareo o rova’eo, nilay; vaho nimb’eo o nte-Pelistio nimoneñe ama’e ao.
And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled. And the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Ie amy loak’androy naho niheo mb’eo o nte-Pelistio hampikorendake o zinamañeo, le nitendrek’ amy Saole naho amo ana’e nikorovok’ am-bohi’ i Gilboao,
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 naho hinoli’ iereo naho nandrambe i añambone’ey naho o fikala’eo, le nampiariarie’ iareo mb’ an-tane’ o nte-Pelistio mb’eo, ninday i taliliy mb’ amo hazomanga’eo vaho mb’am’ ondatio.
And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
10 Nanoe’ iereo añ’ anjomba’ o ndrahare’ iareoo o harao’eo vaho napitek’ an-kivoho’ i Dagone ao ty añambone’e.
And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Aa ie jinanji’ Iabese-Gilade ze he’e nanoe’ o nte-Pelistio amy Saole,
And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 le fonga niongake o fanalolahio nandrambe ty fañova’ i Saole naho ty fañova’ o ana’eo le nendese’ iareo mb’e Iabese mb’eo vaho nalenteke ambane’ ty kobai’ Iabese ao o taola’ iareoo vaho nililitse fito andro.
all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 Aa le nihomake t’i Saole ty amy fiolà’e am’ Iehovày naho i tsara’ Iehovà tsy nambena’ey naho i namotoaña’e jiny, hañontanea’ey,
So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah, which he did not keep, and also because he asked counsel of a spiritist, to inquire thereby,
14 ie tsy nañontane Iehovà; le zinevo’e vaho nafote’e amy Davide ana’ Iisaý i fifelehañey.
and did not inquire of Jehovah. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
