1 Nialy am’ Israele o nte-Pelistio; naho nitriban-day amo nte-Pelistio t’Is­raele vaho nitsingorotritse, zinamañe am-bohi’ i Gilboa eo.
AmaFilisti asesilwa emelene loIsrayeli; lamadoda akoIsrayeli abaleka phambi kwamaFilisti, awa abulawa entabeni yeGilibowa.
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.
AmaFilisti asenamathela ngemva kukaSawuli langemva kwamadodana akhe; amaFilisti atshaya uJonathani loAbinadaba loMaliki-Shuwa, amadodana kaSawuli.
3 Nanjomòtse amy Saole i hotakotakey le nitakare’ o mpitàm-paleo am-pale naho nahafere aze o mpitàm-paleo.
Impi yasisiba nzima imelene loSawuli; abatshoka ngamadandili basebemfica; waselinyazwa ngabatshoki.
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.
USawuli wasesithi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe: Hwatsha inkemba yakho, ungigwaze ngayo, hlezi laba abangasokanga bafike, badlale kubi ngami. Kodwa umthwali wezikhali zakhe kavumanga, ngoba wesaba kakhulu. USawuli wasethatha inkemba, waziwisela phezu kwayo.
5 Ie nioni’ i mpitàm-pikala’ey te nihomake t’i Saole le niforetrak’ amy fibara’ey ka vaho nivetrake.
Lapho umthwali wezikhali zakhe ebona ukuthi uSawuli usefile, laye waziwisela phezu kwenkemba, wafa.
6 Aa le nihomake t’i Saole naho i ana’e telo rey; sindre nitrao-pikoromake o añ’ anjomba’eo.
Wafa-ke uSawuli, lamadodana akhe amathathu, lendlu yakhe yonke; bafa ndawonye.
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.
Kwathi wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli ayesesigodini ebona ukuthi abalekile, lokuthi uSawuli lamadodana akhe bafile, atshiya imizi yawo, abaleka; amaFilisti asefika, ahlala kiyo.
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,
Kwasekusithi kusisa lapho amaFilisti efika ukuhlubula ababuleweyo, afica uSawuli lamadodana akhe bewile entabeni yeGilibowa.
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.
Amhlubula, athatha ikhanda lakhe lezikhali zakhe, athumela elizweni lamaFilisti inhlangothi zonke, ukumemezela imibiko ezithombeni zawo lebantwini.
10 Nanoe’ iereo añ’ anjomba’ o ndrahare’ iareoo o harao’eo vaho napitek’ an-kivoho’ i Dagone ao ty añambone’e.
Asebeka izikhali zakhe endlini yabonkulunkulu bawo, abethela ukhakhayi lwakhe endlini kaDagoni.
11 Aa ie jinanji’ Iabese-Gilade ze he’e nanoe’ o nte-Pelistio amy Saole,
Kwathi iJabeshi-Gileyadi yonke isizwile konke amaFilisti akwenze kuSawuli,
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.
wonke amaqhawe asuka, athatha isidumbu sikaSawuli lezidumbu zamadodana akhe, aziletha eJabeshi, angcwaba amathambo abo ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi eJabeshi, azila ukudla insuku eziyisikhombisa.
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,
Ngakho uSawuli wafa ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe aphambuka ngaso emelene leNkosi, emelene lelizwi leNkosi ayengaligcinanga, njalo langokubuza koledlozi ukudinga kuye,
14 ie tsy nañontane Iehovà; le zinevo’e vaho nafote’e amy Davide ana’ Iisaý i fifelehañey.
njalo kakudinganga eNkosini. Ngakho yambulala, yaguqulela umbuso kuDavida indodana kaJese.
