1 Samuela 31
1 Pea ko eni, naʻe tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kakai Filisitia: pea naʻe hola ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli mei he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea naʻe tō ʻo mate [ʻakinautolu ]ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
Basi Wafilisti wakapigana na Israeli. Waisraeli wakawakimbia, na wengi wakauawa katika Mlima Gilboa.
2 Pea naʻe tuli mālohi ʻe he kakai Filisitia, ʻa Saula mo hono ngaahi foha: pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Sonatane ʻe he kakai Filisitia, mo ʻApinatapi, mo Malikisua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Saula.
Wafilisti wakawafuatia kwa bidii Sauli na wanawe, wakawaua Yonathani, Abinadabu na Malki-Shua.
3 Pea naʻe hoko mālohi ʻae tau kia Saula, pea naʻe touʻia ia ʻi he kau tangata fakakaufana; pea kafo mamahi ia ʻi he kau tangata fakakaufana.
Mapigano yakawa makali sana kumzunguka Sauli, nao wapiga upinde wakampata na kumjeruhi vibaya.
4 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki hono hoa tau, “Unuhi hake hoʻo heletā, ʻo tui ʻaki au ke ʻasi; telia naʻa haʻu ʻae kakai taʻekamu ni, ʻo tui ʻaki au, pea manukiʻi au.” Ka naʻe ʻikai fiefai ia ʻe hono hoa tau; he naʻe manavahē lahi ia. Ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe Saula ʻae heletā, pea ne fakahinga ia ki ai.
Sauli akamwambia mbeba silaha wake, “Futa upanga wako unichome nao, la sivyo hawa watu wasiotahiriwa watakuja wanichome na kunidhalilisha.” Lakini mbeba silaha wake akaogopa sana wala hakuweza kufanya hivyo. Kwa hiyo Sauli akachukua upanga wake mwenyewe na kuuangukia.
5 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe hono hoa tau kuo mate ʻa Saula, naʻe fakahinga foki ia ki heʻene heletā, pea mate fakataha mo ia.
Mchukua silaha wake alipoona Sauli amekufa, naye pia akaangukia upanga wake akafa pamoja naye.
6 Ko ia naʻe mate ai ʻa Saula mo hono foha ʻe toko tolu, mo hono hoa tau, mo hono kau tangata kotoa pē fakataha ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia.
Basi Sauli, wanawe watatu, mbeba silaha wake na watu wake wote wakafa pamoja siku ile ile.
7 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻoe teleʻa, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, kuo hola ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli, pea kuo pekia ʻa Saula mo hono ngaahi foha, naʻa nau liʻaki ʻenau ngaahi kolo nofoʻanga, pea hola; pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻo nofo ki ai.
Waisraeli waliokuwa kandokando ya bonde na wale waliokuwa ngʼambo ya Yordani walipoona kuwa jeshi la Waisraeli limekimbia na kwamba Sauli na wanawe wamekufa, wakaacha miji yao na kukimbia. Nao Wafilisti wakaja na kukaa humo.
8 Pea pongipongi hake naʻe pehē, ʻi he haʻu ʻae kau Filisitia ke vete ʻae kakai mate, naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa Saula mo hono foha ʻe toko tolu kuo tō ʻi he moʻunga ko Kilipoa.
Kesho yake Wafilisti walipokuja kuwavua maiti silaha, walimkuta Sauli na wanawe watatu wameanguka katika Mlima Gilboa.
9 Pea naʻa nau tutuʻu hono ʻulu, pea toʻo ʻene mahafutau, pea fekau ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻo takatakai, ke fakaongo ia ʻi he fale ʻo honau ngaahi tamapua, pea ki honau kakai.
Wakamkata Sauli kichwa na kumvua silaha zake, nao wakatuma wajumbe katika nchi yote ya Wafilisti kutangaza habari katika hekalu la sanamu zao na miongoni mwa watu wao.
10 Pea naʻa nau ʻai hono ngaahi kofu tau ki he fale ʻo ʻAsitelote: pea naʻa nau fakamaʻu hono sino ki he ʻā maka ʻo Pete-Sani.
Wakaweka silaha zake katika hekalu la Maashtorethi, na kukifunga kiwiliwili chake katika ukuta wa Beth-Shani.
11 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai Sepesi-Kiliati ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe he kakai Filisitia kia Saula;
Watu wa Yabeshi-Gileadi waliposikia yale Wafilisti walichomfanyia Sauli,
12 Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, pea fononga ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia, ʻonau toʻo ʻae sino ʻo Saula mo e sino ʻo hono ngaahi foha mei he ʻā maka ʻo Pete-Sani pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Sepesi ʻo tutu ia ʻi ai.
mashujaa wao wote wakaenda usiku hadi Beth-Shani. Wakauchukua mwili wa Sauli na miili ya wanawe kutoka kwenye ukuta wa Beth-Shani na kurudi hadi Yabeshi, mahali ambapo waliiteketeza kwa moto.
13 Pea naʻa nau toʻo honau ngaahi hui, pea tanu ia ʻi he lolo ʻakau ʻi Sepesi, pea naʻa nau ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
Kisha wakachukua mifupa yao na kuizika chini ya mti wa mkwaju huko Yabeshi, nao wakafunga siku saba.
