1 Imilando 10
1 AmaFilistiya alwa lo-Israyeli; abako-Israyeli babaleka, njalo abanengi bafela eNtabeni yase Gilibhowa.
Nialy am’ Israele o nte-Pelistio; naho nitriban-day amo nte-Pelistio t’Israele vaho nitsingorotritse, zinamañe am-bohi’ i Gilboa eo.
2 AmaFilistiya axotshana kanzima loSawuli kanye lamadodana akhe, abulala amadodana akhe uJonathani, lo-Abhinadabi kanye loMalikhi-Shuwa.
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.
3 Impi yatshisa macele wonke kuSawuli, njalo kwathi abatshoki bemitshoko sebemxhumile, bamlimaza.
Nanjomòtse amy Saole i hotakotakey le nitakare’ o mpitàm-paleo am-pale naho nahafere aze o mpitàm-paleo.
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.
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.
5 Kwathi umphathi wezikhali ebona ukuthi uSawuli wayesefile, laye waziwisela phezu kwenkemba yakhe, wafa.
Ie nioni’ i mpitàm-pikala’ey te nihomake t’i Saole le niforetrak’ amy fibara’ey ka vaho nivetrake.
6 Ngakho uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu bafa, labo bonke abendlu yakhe bafa ndawonye.
Aa le nihomake t’i Saole naho i ana’e telo rey; sindre nitrao-pikoromake o añ’ anjomba’eo.
7 Kwathi bonke abako-Israyeli ababesesigodini bebona ukuthi ibutho lalibalekile lokuthi uSawuli kanye lamadodana akhe basebefile, batshiya imizi yabo babaleka. AmaFilistiya afika ahlala kuyo.
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.
8 Ngelanga elalandelayo, amaFilistiya esefikile ukuba akhuthuze abafileyo, afica uSawuli lamadodana akhe befile eNtabeni yase Gilibhowa.
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,
9 Bamkhuthuza baze bamquma ikhanda lakhe balithatha kanye lezikhali zakhe, basebethuma izithunywa kulolonke ilizwe lamaFilistiya ukuthi zimemezele lindaba ezithombeni zabo lebantwini bakibo.
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.
10 Abeka izikhali zakhe ethempelini labonkulunkulu babo kwathi ikhanda lakhe balibeka ethempelini likaDagoni.
Nanoe’ iereo añ’ anjomba’ o ndrahare’ iareoo o harao’eo vaho napitek’ an-kivoho’ i Dagone ao ty añambone’e.
11 Abantu bonke baseJabheshi Giliyadi sebezwile ngokwakwenziwe ngamaFilistiya kuSawuli,
Aa ie jinanji’ Iabese-Gilade ze he’e nanoe’ o nte-Pelistio amy Saole,
12 wonke amaqhawe alezibindi ahamba ayathatha isidumbu sikaSawuli lezamadodana akhe aya lazo eJabheshi. Basebengcwaba amathambo abo ngaphansi kwesihlahla esikhulu eJabheshi, bazila insuku eziyisikhombisa.
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.
13 USawuli wafa ngoba wayengathembekanga kuThixo; kaligcinanga ilizwi likaThixo wakhe waze wayadinga ukuqondiswa yizangoma,
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,
14 esikhundleni sokukhuleka kuThixo. Ngakho uThixo wamenza wafa wathatha ubukhosi wabunika uDavida indodana kaJese.
ie tsy nañontane Iehovà; le zinevo’e vaho nafote’e amy Davide ana’ Iisaý i fifelehañey.
