1 Samoela 31
1 Ie amy zao, nialy amy Israele o nte-Pilistio, le nandripàke ty lay aolo’ o nte-Pilistio o ana’ Israeleo vaho nikoromak’ am-pizamanañe an-kaboa’ i Gilboà ey.
AmaFilisti alwa-ke loIsrayeli; lamadoda akoIsrayeli abaleka phambi kwamaFilisti, awa efile entabeni yeGilibowa.
2 Hinorida’ o nte-Pilistio mafe t’i Saole naho o ana’eo naho vinono’ o nte-Pilistio t’Ionatane naho i Abinadabe vaho i Malkisoa, ana-dahi’ i Saole.
AmaFilisti asenamathela kuSawuli lamadodana akhe; amaFilisti abulala uJonathani, loAbinadaba, loMaliki-Shuwa, amadodana kaSawuli.
3 Nifandraparapake ty aly amy Saole le nijoy aze o mpitàm-paleo, toe nampitsingoro aze o mpitàm-paleo.
Lempi yaba nzima kuSawuli, abatshoki bamfica, amadoda edandili; wasesiba lobuhlungu kakhulu ngabatshoki.
4 Le hoe t’i Saole amy mpitàm-pikala’ey, apontsoàño o fibara’oo, le atrebeho amako tsy mone hitomboke naho hijoy ahy o tsy nisavareñe retoañeo. Fe tsy nimete i mpitàm-pikala’ey, fa loho nirevendreveñe. Aa le rinambe’ i Saole i fibara’ey vaho nihotraha’e.
USawuli wasesithi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe: Hwatsha inkemba yakho, ungigwaze ngayo, hlezi laba abangasokanga bafike bangigwaze, badlale kubi ngami. Kodwa umthwali wezikhali zakhe kavumanga, ngoba wesaba kakhulu. Ngakho uSawuli wathatha inkemba, waziwisela phezu kwayo.
5 Ie nizoe’ i mpitàm-pikala’ey te nihomake t’i Saole le nihotrak’ amy fibara’ey ka, nitrao-pivetrak’ ama’e.
Lapho umthwali wezikhali zakhe ebona ukuthi uSawuli usefile, laye waziwisela phezu kwenkemba yakhe, wafa kanye laye.
6 Aa le nitrao-pihomake amy andro zay ty Saole naho i ana’e telo rey, naho i mpitàm-pikala’ey vaho o fonga ondati’eo.
Wafa-ke uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu lomthwali wezikhali zakhe labo bonke abantu bakhe ngalolosuku ndawonye.
7 Ie niisa’ o ana’ Israele añ’ ila’ i vavataneio naho o alafe’ Iordaneio te nilay o ana’ Israeleo naho nihomake t’i Saole naho o ana’eo, le naforintse’ iareo o rova’ iareoo naho nitriban-day, vaho nimb’eo o nte-Pilistio nimoneñe ama’e.
Lapho amadoda akoIsrayeli ayengaphetsheya kwesigodi layengaphetsheya kweJordani ebona ukuthi amadoda akoIsrayeli abalekile, lokuthi uSawuli lamadodana akhe sebefile, atshiya imizi, abaleka; amaFilisti asefika, ahlala kiyo.
8 Ie amy loak-androy, nimb’eo o nte-Pilistio hañolitse o zinamañeo, le nizoe’ iereo te nikorovok’ an-kaboa’ i Gilboà t’i Saole naho i ana’e telo rey.
Kwasekusithi kusisa lapho amaFilisti efika ukuhlubula ababuleweyo, afica uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu bewile entabeni yeGilibowa.
9 Kinitsi’ iareo i añambone’ey naho hinalo’ iareo o sarom-pikala’eo vaho nañitrike i raha rezay mb’eo mb’eo añ’akiban-drahare’ iareo naho am’ondatio.
Asequma ikhanda lakhe, ahlubula izikhali zakhe, athumela elizweni lamaFilisti inhlangothi zonke ukumemezela imibiko endlini yezithombe zabo lebantwini.
10 Nasampe’ iereo añ’anjomba’ i Astarote ao o sarom-pikala’eo vaho napite’ iareo an-drindri’ i Bete-Sane eo i fañova’ey.
Abeka izikhali zakhe endlini kaAshitarothi. Abophela isidumbu sakhe emdulini weBeti-Shani.
11 Aa ie jinanji’ o nte-Iabese-Giladeo i nanoe’ o nte-Pilistio amy Saoley,
Kwathi abahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi sebezwile ngalokho amaFilisti akwenze kuSawuli,
12 le niongake o fanalolahi’ iereoo, nikatsakatsake haleñe mb’eo nandrambe ty fañova’ i Saole naho i ana’e rey boak’ an-drindri’ i Betesàne eo naho nimpoly mb’e Iabese mb’eo vaho noroa’ iareo.
asukuma wonke amaqhawe, ahamba ubusuku bonke, athatha isidumbu sikaSawuli lezidumbu zamadodana akhe emdulini weBeti-Shani, eza eJabeshi, azitshisa khona.
13 Le rinambe’ iareo o taola’ iareoo naho nalente’ iareo ambane’ ty kile’ Iabese ao vaho nililitse fito andro.
Asethatha amathambo abo, awangcwaba ngaphansi kwesihlahla setamarisiki eJabeshi, azila ukudla insuku eziyisikhombisa.
