Samuu'Eel Kowaad 31
1 Haddaba reer Falastiin waxay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil, oo raggii reer binu Israa'iilna way ka carareen reer Falastiin, oo Buur Gilboca ayay ku daateen iyagoo la laayay.
Meanwhile the Philistines had attacked Israel, and the Israelite army ran away from them, and many were killed on Mount Gilboa.
2 Oo reer Falastiinna aad bay u eryadeen Saa'uul iyo wiilashiisii, markaasaa reer Falastiin waxay dileen Yoonaataan, iyo Abiinaadaab, iyo Melkiishuuca oo ahaa Saa'uul wiilashiisii.
The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons, killing Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 Oo dagaalkiina aad buu ugu sii kululaaday Saa'uul, oo waxaa isagii gaadhay qaansoleydii, oo isna qaansoleydii aawadeed ayuu dhib badan ula kulmay.
The fighting became very intense around Saul, and the arrows of the Philistine archers found their target, wounding Saul very badly.
4 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu kii hubka u siday ku yidhi, War seeftaada la soo bax oo iga mudhbixi, waaba intaasoo buuryoqabyadanu yimaadaan oo ay intay seef iga mudhbixiyaan i caayaane. Laakiinse kii hubka u siday wuu diiday, waayo, aad buu u cabsaday. Sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuxuu qaatay seeftiisii, markaasuu ku dul dhacay.
Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Take your sword and kill me, or these heathen men will come and kill and torture me!” But the armor-bearer didn't want to do it because he was too afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 Oo kii hubka u sidayna markuu arkay in Saa'uul dhintay, isna wuxuu ku dul dhacay seeftiisii, wuuna la dhintay.
When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died with him.
6 Sidaas daraaddeed maalintaas waxaa wada dhintay Saa'uul, iyo saddexdiisii wiil, iyo kii hubka u siday, iyo raggiisii oo dhan.
Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all the men with him, died the same day.
7 Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dooxadii dhankeeda kale joogay, iyo kuwii Webi Urdun shishadiisa joogay, markay arkeen in raggii reer binu Israa'iil carareen oo Saa'uul iyo wiilashiisii ay dhinteen ayay magaalooyinkii ka tageen oo carareen; markaasaa reer Falastiin yimaadeen oo iska degeen.
When the Israelites who lived along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan realized that the Israelite army had run away, and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and they also ran away. So the Philistines came and took them over.
8 Oo maalintii dambe markay reer Falastiin u yimaadeen inay dharka ka furtaan kuwii la dilay waxay heleen Saa'uul iyo saddexdiisii wiil oo Buur Gilboca ku dhintay.
The next day, when the Philistines went to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.
9 Markaasay madaxii ka gooyeen, oo hubkiisiina way ka furteen, oo waxay u cid direen dalkii reer Falastiin oo ku wareegsanaa inay u wargeeyaan gurigii sanamyadooda iyo dadkiiba.
They cut off Saul's head, stripped him of his armor, and sent messengers throughout the country of the Philistines to announce the news in the temples of their idols and to their people.
10 Oo hubkiisiina gurigii Cashtarod ayay dhigeen, meydkiisiina derbigii Beytshaan bay ku xidheen.
They placed his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and nailed his body to the town wall of Beth-shan.
11 Oo dadkii Yaabeesh Gilecaad degganaa markay maqleen waxyaalihii ay reer Falastiin Saa'uul ku sameeyeen,
However, when the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 waxaa kacay raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan, oo habeenkii oo dhan ayay sii guuraynayeen, markaasay Beytshaan derbigiisii ka soo qaadeen Saa'uul meydkiisii iyo meydadkii wiilashiisa, kolkaasay yimaadeen Yaabeesh, oo halkaasay ku gubeen.
all their strong warriors set out, traveled all night, and took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they got back to Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.
13 Markaasay lafahoodii qaadeen oo ku aaseen geed Yaabeesh ku yiil hoostiisa, toddoba maalmoodna way soomeen.
Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
