Mwet Philistia elos mweun lain mwet Israel fin Fineol Gilboa. Mwet Israel pukanten elos misa in acn sac, ac mwet lula sin mwet Israel, welulang Tokosra Saul ac wen natul, elos kaingla.
2 AmaFilisti asenamathela kuSawuli lamadodana akhe; amaFilisti abulala uJonathani, loAbinadaba, loMaliki-Shuwa, amadodana kaSawuli.
Tusruktu mwet Philistia elos ukwalos, ac uniya wen tolu inge natul Saul: Jonathan, Abinadab, ac Malchishua.
3 Lempi yaba nzima kuSawuli, abatshoki bamfica, amadoda edandili; wasesiba lobuhlungu kakhulu ngabatshoki.
Mweun sac arulana upa nu facl Saul, ac el pisrkiyuki ke pisr nutin mwet lokoalok lal, ac arulana yohk kinet kacl.
4 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 Lapho umthwali wezikhali zakhe ebona ukuthi uSawuli usefile, laye waziwisela phezu kwenkemba yakhe, wafa kanye laye.
Ke mwet fusr sac liye lah Saul el misa, na el oayapa putatyang nu fin cutlass natul ah, ac welul Saul misa.
6 Wafa-ke uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu lomthwali wezikhali zakhe labo bonke abantu bakhe ngalolosuku ndawonye.
Na pa ingan luman misa lal Saul ac wen tolu natul, ac mwet fusr sac. Mwet nukewa su welul Saul elos misa ke len sac.
7 Lapho amadoda akoIsrayeli ayengaphetsheya kwesigodi layengaphetsheya kweJordani ebona ukuthi amadoda akoIsrayeli abalekile, lokuthi uSawuli lamadodana akhe sebefile, atshiya imizi, abaleka; amaFilisti asefika, ahlala kiyo.
Ke mwet Israel su muta lefahlo Infahlfal Jezreel, ac elos su muta lefahlyat Infacl Jordan, elos lohng lah un mwet mweun lun mwet Israel elos kaing, ac Saul ac wen natul elos misa, elos fahsr liki siti selos ac kaingla. Na mwet Philistia elos tuku ac muta we.
8 Kwasekusithi kusisa lapho amaFilisti efika ukuhlubula ababuleweyo, afica uSawuli lamadodana akhe amathathu bewile entabeni yeGilibowa.
In len se tukun mweun upa sac, mwet Philistia elos som in suk ma wap ke mwet misa, na elos konauk manol Saul ac wen tolu natul oan Fineol Gilboa.
9 Asequma ikhanda lakhe, ahlubula izikhali zakhe, athumela elizweni lamaFilisti inhlangothi zonke ukumemezela imibiko endlini yezithombe zabo lebantwini.
Elos pakela sifal Saul, ac sarukla mwe loeyuk lal, ac supwalik ma inge yurin mwet utuk kas nu in facl Philistia nufon, in fahkak pweng wo se inge nu sin ma sruloala lalos ac nu sin mwet lalos.

Elos filiya mwe mweun natul Saul in tempul lun god mutan se pangpang Astarte, ac elos patikya manol Saul nu ke pot uh in siti Beth Shan.
11 Kwathi abahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi sebezwile ngalokho amaFilisti akwenze kuSawuli,
Ke mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos lohng ma mwet Philistia oru nu sel Saul,
12 asukuma wonke amaqhawe, ahamba ubusuku bonke, athatha isidumbu sikaSawuli lezidumbu zamadodana akhe emdulini weBeti-Shani, eza eJabeshi, azitshisa khona.
