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.
Later, the Philistines again fought against the Israelis. The Israelis ran away from them, and (many Israelis were killed/the Philistines killed many Israelis) on Gilboa Mountain.
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 caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and 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 was very fierce around Saul. When the Philistine (archers/men with bows and arrows) caught up with Saul, they wounded him badly [with their arrows].
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 the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to thrust their swords into me and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified, and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. [The sword pierced his body and he died].
5 Oo kii hubka u sidayna markuu arkay in Saa'uul dhintay, isna wuxuu ku dul dhacay seeftiisii, wuuna la dhintay.
When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
6 Sidaas daraaddeed maalintaas waxaa wada dhintay Saa'uul, iyo saddexdiisii wiil, iyo kii hubka u siday, iyo raggiisii oo dhan.
So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that 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 Israeli people on the north side of the [Jezreel] Valley and on the east side of the Jordan [River] heard that the Israeli army had run away and that Saul and his sons had died, they left their towns and ran away. Then the Philistines came and occupied their towns.
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 came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the bodies of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
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 and took his weapons. Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news, in the temple where they kept their idols, and to the other people, [that their army had killed Saul].
10 Oo hubkiisiina gurigii Cashtarod ayay dhigeen, meydkiisiina derbigii Beytshaan bay ku xidheen.
They put Saul’s weapons in the temple of [their goddess] Astarte. They also fastened the bodies of Saul [and his sons] to the wall [that surrounded] Beth-Shan [city].
11 Oo dadkii Yaabeesh Gilecaad degganaa markay maqleen waxyaalihii ay reer Falastiin Saa'uul ku sameeyeen,
When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
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 bravest soldiers walked all night to Beth-Shan. They took the corpses of Saul and his sons down from the city wall, and they took them back to Jabesh and burned the corpses there.
13 Markaasay lafahoodii qaadeen oo ku aaseen geed Yaabeesh ku yiil hoostiisa, toddoba maalmoodna way soomeen.
They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
