< 1 Imilando 10 >
1 AmaFilistiya alwa lo-Israyeli; abako-Israyeli babaleka, njalo abanengi bafela eNtabeni yase Gilibhowa.
Mwet Philistia elos mweun lain mwet Israel Fineol Gilboa. Pus mwet Israel misa we. Mwet lula selos, oayapa Tokosra Saul ac wen natul uh, elos kaingla.
2 AmaFilistiya axotshana kanzima loSawuli kanye lamadodana akhe, abulala amadodana akhe uJonathani, lo-Abhinadabi kanye loMalikhi-Shuwa.
Tusruktu, mwet Philistia elos ukwalos ac uniya wen tolu natul Saul: Jonathan, Abinadab, ac Malchishua.
3 Impi yatshisa macele wonke kuSawuli, njalo kwathi abatshoki bemitshoko sebemxhumile, bamlimaza.
Mweun sac arulana upa ke acn Saul el muta we, na pisrkiyuki el ke pisr nutin mwet lokoalok lal ac yohk kinet kacl.
4 USawuli wathi kumthwali wezikhali zakhe, “Hwatsha inkemba yakho ungigwaze, hlezi abantu laba abangasokanga bafike bangigwaze bangenze ihlazo.” Kodwa umphathi wezikhali zakhe wesaba, akaze akwenza lokho, ngakho uSawuli wathatha inkemba yakhe waziwisela phezu kwayo.
Saul el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su us mwe mweun natul ah, “Faesak cutlass nutum an ac uniyuwi, tuh mwet Philistia pegan ingan in tia konkin keik.” Tuh mwet fusr sac el arulana sangeng ac kofla orala. Ke ma inge Saul el srukak cutlass natul sifacna ac putatyang nu fac.
5 Kwathi umphathi wezikhali ebona ukuthi uSawuli wayesefile, laye waziwisela phezu kwenkemba yakhe, wafa.
Ke mwet fusr sac liye lah Saul el misa, na el sifacna putatyang nu fin cutlass natul ah, ac misa pac.
6 Ngakho uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu bafa, labo bonke abendlu yakhe bafa ndawonye.
Ke ma inge Saul ac wen tolu natul tukenina misa, ac wangin sin fwil natul leum fin acn Israel.
7 Kwathi bonke abako-Israyeli ababesesigodini bebona ukuthi ibutho lalibalekile lokuthi uSawuli kanye lamadodana akhe basebefile, batshiya imizi yabo babaleka. AmaFilistiya afika ahlala kuyo.
Ke mwet Israel su muta Infahlfal Jezreel lohng lah un mwet mweun lalos kaing, ac Saul ac wen natul elos misa, elos sisla acn selos ac kaingla. Na mwet Philistia elos tuku ac muta we.
8 Ngelanga elalandelayo, amaFilistiya esefikile ukuba akhuthuze abafileyo, afica uSawuli lamadodana akhe befile eNtabeni yase Gilibhowa.
In len se tukun mweun sac, mwet Philistia elos som in suk ma wap ke mwet misa, na elos koneak manol Saul ac wen natul ah oan Fineol Gilboa.
9 Bamkhuthuza baze bamquma ikhanda lakhe balithatha kanye lezikhali zakhe, basebethuma izithunywa kulolonke ilizwe lamaFilistiya ukuthi zimemezele lindaba ezithombeni zabo lebantwini bakibo.
Elos pakela sifal Saul, ac sarukla mwe loeyuk lal, na elos supwalik ma inge yurin mwet utuk kas nu in facl Philistia nufon in fahkak pweng wo se inge nu ke ma sruloala lalos ac nu sin mwet lalos.
10 Abeka izikhali zakhe ethempelini labonkulunkulu babo kwathi ikhanda lakhe balibeka ethempelini likaDagoni.
Elos filiya mwe mweun natul Saul in sie sin tempul lalos, ac srupusrak sifal Saul in tempul lal Dagon, god lalos.
11 Abantu bonke baseJabheshi Giliyadi sebezwile ngokwakwenziwe ngamaFilistiya kuSawuli,
Ke mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos lohng ma mwet Philistia oru nu sel Saul,
12 wonke amaqhawe alezibindi ahamba ayathatha isidumbu sikaSawuli lezamadodana akhe aya lazo eJabheshi. Basebengcwaba amathambo abo ngaphansi kwesihlahla esikhulu eJabheshi, bazila insuku eziyisikhombisa.
na mwet pulaik lalos som ac eisya manol Saul ac wen natul, ac usla nu Jabesh. Elos pikinya manoltal ye sak oak soko, ac elos lalo ke len itkosr.
13 USawuli wafa ngoba wayengathembekanga kuThixo; kaligcinanga ilizwi likaThixo wakhe waze wayadinga ukuqondiswa yizangoma,
Saul el misa mweyen el tia inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. El seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD, ac el suk kasreyuk lal yurin ngunin mwet misa.
14 esikhundleni sokukhuleka kuThixo. Ngakho uThixo wamenza wafa wathatha ubukhosi wabunika uDavida indodana kaJese.
El tuh tia eis kasru lal sin LEUM GOD. Ouinge LEUM GOD El lela tuh elan misa, ac El sang tokosrai sac nu inpaol David, wen natul Jesse.
