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 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 after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Lollis naannoo Saaʼolitti baayʼee cime; warri xiyyaan lolanis isa qaqqabanii isa madeessan.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason 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 Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his 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 likewise fell on his sword and died.
6 Kanaafuu Saaʼolii fi ilmaan isaa sadan ni duʼan; warri mana isaa hundinuus walumaan dhuman.
So Saul died with 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.
When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived 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.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, 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 him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to 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.
They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Jiraattonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad hundi yommuu waan Filisxeemonni Saaʼolin godhan dhagaʼanitti,
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.
all the valiant men arose 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 trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of Yahweh’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
14 Waaqayyoon gorsa hin gaafanne. Kanaaf Waaqayyo isa ajjeese; mootummaa isaas dabarsee Daawit ilma Isseeyiitiif kenne.
and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
