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 slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, 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 sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded 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 said Saul to his armor bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell on 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 fell likewise on the 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 that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelled 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 when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings 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 temple of Dagon.
11 Aa ie jinanji’ Iabese-Gilade ze he’e nanoe’ o nte-Pelistio amy Saole,
And when all Jabeshgilead 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.
They arose, all the valiant men, 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 transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;
14 ie tsy nañontane Iehovà; le zinevo’e vaho nafote’e amy Davide ana’ Iisaý i fifelehañey.
And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
