1 Seenaa 10
1 Filisxeemonni yeroo kanatti Israaʼelitti waraana kaasan; Israaʼeloonnis isaan duraa baqatan; hedduun isaaniis Tulluu Gilboʼaa irratti dhuman.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Filisxeemonni ittuma jabeessanii Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa ariʼan; isaanis ilmaan isaa jechuunis Yoonaataan, Abiinaadaabii fi Malkii-Shuwaa ajjeesan.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 Lollis naannoo Saaʼolitti baayʼee cime; warri xiyyaan lolanis isa qaqqabanii isa madeessan.
When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him.
4 Saaʼolis namicha miʼa lolaa isaa baatuun, “Goraadee kee luqqifadhuutii na waraani; yoo kanaa achii namoonni dhagna hin qabamin kunneen dhufanii natti taphatuu” jedhe. Namichi miʼa lolaa baatuuf sun garuu waan akka malee sodaateef isa hin waraanne; kanaafuu Saaʼol goraadee ofii isaa luqqifatee irratti kufe.
Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 Namichi miʼa lolaa baatu sun yommuu akka Saaʼol duʼe argetti innis goraadee ofii isaa irratti kufee duʼe.
When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died.
6 Kanaafuu Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa sadan ni duʼan; warri mana isaa hundinuus walumaan dhuman.
So Saul died together with his three sons and all his house.
7 Israaʼeloonni sulula keessa turan hundi yommuu akka loltoonni baqatan, akka Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaas dhuman arganitti magaalaawwan isaanii dhiisanii baqatan. Filisxeemonni immoo dhufanii keessa qubatan.
When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
8 Filisxeemonnis guyyaa itti aanutti yommuu warra dhuman irraa hidhannaa hiikkachuu dhufanitti akka Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa Tulluu Gilboʼaa irratti kukkufanii jiran argan.
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Isaanis erga hidhata Saaʼolii hiikkatanii mataa isaan irraa kutanii booddee akka isaan waaqota tolfamoo fi namoota isaaniitti oduu gaarii labsaniif guutummaa Filisxeemiitti ergamoota ni ergan.
They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.
10 Ergasii immoo miʼa lolaa isaa mana waaqota tolfamoo isaanii keessa, mataa isaa immoo mana Daagon waaqicha tolfamaa sanaa keessatti ni fannisan.
They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 Jiraattonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad hundi yommuu waan Filisxeemonni Saaʼolin godhan dhagaʼanitti,
When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 namoonni jajjaboon isaanii hundi dhaqanii reeffa Saaʼolii fi reeffa ilmaan isaa guuranii gara Yaabeeshitti ni fidan. Ergasii immoo reeffa isaanii muka guddaa Yaabeesh keessaa tokko jalatti awwaalan; guyyaa torbas ni sooman.
all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
13 Saaʼol sababii Waaqayyoof amanamaa hin taʼiniif duʼe; inni dubbii Waaqayyootiif hin ajajamne; qooda kanaa ilaaltuu gorsa gaafate;
So Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,
14 Waaqayyoon gorsa hin gaafanne. Kanaaf Waaqayyo isa ajjeese; mootummaa isaas dabarsee Daawit ilma Isseeyiitiif kenne.
and he failed to inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
