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 the wounded fell 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 smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, 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 discovered him with the bow, —and he was terrified 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.
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 Ie nioni’ i mpitàm-pikala’ey te nihomake t’i Saole le niforetrak’ amy fibara’ey ka vaho nivetrake.
And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then, he also, fell upon 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, together, died.
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 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 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, lying prostrate 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.
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 Nanoe’ iereo añ’ anjomba’ o ndrahare’ iareoo o harao’eo vaho napitek’ an-kivoho’ i Dagone ao ty añambone’e.
And they put his armour, in the house of their gods, —but, his skull, fastened they up, 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.
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 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,
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 ie tsy nañontane Iehovà; le zinevo’e vaho nafote’e amy Davide ana’ Iisaý i fifelehañey.
and enquired not of Yahweh, wherefore he slew him, —and turned round the kingdom unto David, son of Jesse.
