1 Meʻa Hokohoko 10
1 Pea ko eni, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he kakai Filisitia ki ʻIsileli; pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea naʻa nau tō hifo ʻo lavea ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
Afei, Filistifo no bɛtow hyɛɛ Israel so, maa Israelfo no guanee. Wokunkum wɔn mu pii wɔ bepɔw Gilboa so.
2 Pea naʻe tuli mālohi ʻe he kakai Filisitia kia Saula pea mo hono ngaahi foha; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻa Sonatane, mo ʻApinatapi, mo Malikisua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Saula.
Filistifo no kaa Saulo ne ne mmabarima hyɛe. Wokunkum wɔn mu baasa a wɔne Yonatan, Abinadab ne Malki-Sua.
3 Pea naʻe mālohi lahi ʻae tau kia Saula, pea naʻe fanaʻi ia ʻe he kau toʻo meʻa fana, pea naʻe lavea ia ʻe he kau tangata fana.
Ɔko no ano yɛɛ den twaa Saulo ho hyiae, maa Filistifo agyantowfo no nyaa Saulo piraa no yiye.
4 Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe Saula ki hono tangata toʻo mahafutau, “Unuhi mai hoʻo heletā, pea ke tui ʻaki au ke ʻasi; telia naʻa haʻu ʻae kau taʻekamu na mo nau manuki kiate au.” Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fai ia ʻe hono tangata toʻo mahafutau; he naʻa ne manavahē lahi. Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Saula ha heletā, mo ne hinga atu ki ai.
Saulo fi apinisi mu ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodekurafo no se, “Twe wʼafoa, fa wɔ me kum me na Filistifo abosonsomfo yi ammɛto me, angu mʼanim ase.” Nanso na nʼakodekurafo no suro nti, wanyɛ saa. Enti Saulo twee ɔno ara nʼafoa, de kum ne ho.
5 Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe hono tangata toʻo mahafutau kuo mate ʻa Saula, naʻa ne hinga foki ia ki he heletā, mone mate ai.
Bere a nʼakodekurafo no huu sɛ Saulo awu no, ɔno nso de nʼafoa kum ne ho.
6 Ko ia, naʻe mate ʻa Saula, pea mo hono ngaahi foha ʻe toko tolu, pea mate fakataha mo hono fale kotoa pē.
Ɛno nti, Saulo ne ne mma mmarima baasa no wuwuu hɔ ara, maa nʼahenni nnidiso no baa awiei.
7 Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he potu talalo, ki heʻenau feholaki, pea kuo mate ʻa Saula pea mo hono ngaahi foha, naʻa nau toki liʻaki honau ngaahi kolo, mo nau hola: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Filisitia mo nofo atu ki ai.
Bere a Israelfo a wɔwɔ Yesreel bon no mu no huu sɛ wɔadi wɔn asraafo no so, na Saulo ne ne mmabarima baasa no awuwu no, woguan gyaa wɔn nkurow hɔ. Ɛno nti, Filistifo no kɔfaa wɔn nkurow no.
8 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he pongipongi naʻe feholoi, ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange ʻae kakai Filisitia ke vete ʻae ngaahi kofu mei he kakai mate, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa Saula pea mo hono ngaahi foha kuo tō hifo ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
Ade kyee a Filistifo no kɔɔ sɛ wɔrekoyiyi atɔfo no ho nneɛma no, wohuu sɛ Saulo ne ne mmabarima no amu gugu bepɔw Gilboa so.
9 Pea ʻosi ʻenau fakatelefuaʻi ia, naʻa nau toʻo ʻa hono ʻulu, mo hono mahafu, mo nau fekau atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he potu fulipē, ke fanongonongo hono tala ki honau ngaahi tamapua, pea mo e kakai.
Enti woyiyii Saulo akode fii ne ho, twaa ne ti. Afei wɔbɔɔ Saulo wu no ho dawuru maa wɔn ahoni ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Filistia nyinaa tee.
10 Pea naʻa nau tuku ʻa hono mahafu ki he fale ʻo honau ngaahi ʻotua, mo nau tautau ʻa hono ʻulu ʻi he fale tapu ʻo Takoni.
Wɔde nʼakode no guu wɔn anyame no abosonnan mu, na wɔkyekyeree ne ti no fam Dagon asɔredan no fasu ho.
11 Pea ʻi heʻene ongo atu ki Sepesi-Kiliati kotoa pē ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai kia Saula ʻe he kakai Filisitia,
Nanso Yabes Gileadfo tee nea Filistifo ayɛ Saulo no,
12 Naʻa nau tuʻu hake, ʻae kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, ʻonau ʻave ʻae sino ʻo Saula, mo e sino ʻo hono ngaahi foha, mo nau ʻomi ia ki Sepesi, pea naʻa nau tanu ʻa honau ngaahi hui ʻi he lolo ʻoke ʻi Sepesi, pea [naʻa nau ]ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
wɔn akofo kɔfaa Saulo ne ne mmabarima baasa no amu baa Yabes. Na wosiee wɔn amu wɔ odum dua bi a ɛwɔ Yabes ase, na wodii mmuada nnanson.
13 Ko ia, naʻe mate ʻa Saula koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fai angahala ai kia Sihova, mo ʻene talangataʻa ai ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ki ai, pea koeʻuhi foki ko ʻene fakafehuʻi ki ha taha naʻe kau mo e laumālie kovi ke fakaongo ki ai:
Na Saulo wui, efisɛ wanni Awurade nokware. Wanni Awurade ahyɛde so, na mpo, ɔkɔɔ asamanfrɛ
14 ʻO ʻikai fakaongo ia kia Sihova: ko ia naʻa ne tāmateʻi ai ia, mo ne fakafoki atu ʻae puleʻanga kia Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese.
wɔ bere a anka ɛsɛ sɛ obisa Awurade nkyɛn akwankyerɛ. Ɛno nti, Awurade kum no, de nʼahenni hyɛɛ Yisai babarima Dawid nsa.
