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 from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Filisxeemonni ittuma jabeessanii Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa ariʼan; isaanis ilmaan isaa jechuunis Yoonaataan, Abiinaadaabii fi Malkii-Shuwaa ajjeesan.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Lollis naannoo Saaʼolitti baayʼee cime; warri xiyyaan lolanis isa qaqqabanii isa madeessan.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
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 said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 Namichi miʼa lolaa baatu sun yommuu akka Saaʼol duʼe argetti innis goraadee ofii isaa irratti kufee duʼe.
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
6 Kanaafuu Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa sadan ni duʼan; warri mana isaa hundinuus walumaan dhuman.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
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.
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Filisxeemonnis guyyaa itti aanutti yommuu warra dhuman irraa hidhannaa hiikkachuu dhufanitti akka Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa Tulluu Gilboʼaa irratti kukkufanii jiran argan.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in 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.
And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10 Ergasii immoo miʼa lolaa isaa mana waaqota tolfamoo isaanii keessa, mataa isaa immoo mana Daagon waaqicha tolfamaa sanaa keessatti ni fannisan.
And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 Jiraattonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad hundi yommuu waan Filisxeemonni Saaʼolin godhan dhagaʼanitti,
And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that 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.
They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and 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 transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;
14 Waaqayyoon gorsa hin gaafanne. Kanaaf Waaqayyo isa ajjeese; mootummaa isaas dabarsee Daawit ilma Isseeyiitiif kenne.
And inquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
