1 Samuel 31
1 Nísinsin yìí, àwọn ará Filistini dojú ìjà kọ Israẹli, àwọn ará Israẹli sì sálọ kúrò níwájú wọn, a sì pa ọ̀pọ̀ wọn sí orí òkè Gilboa.
NOW the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Àwọn Filistini sì ń lépa Saulu àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kíkan; àwọn Filistini sì pa Jonatani àti Abinadabu, àti Malikiṣua, àwọn ọmọ Saulu.
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul’s sons.
3 Ìjà náà sì burú fún Saulu gidigidi, àwọn tafàtafà si ta á ní ọfà, o sì fi ara pa púpọ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn tafàtafà.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Saulu sì wí fún ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ pé, “Fa idà rẹ yọ, kí ìwọ sì fi gún mi, kí àwọn aláìkọlà wọ̀nyí má ba à wá gún mi, àti kí wọn kí ó má bá à fi mí ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.” Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó rú ẹ̀rù ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ kò fẹ́ ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, nítorí pé ẹ̀rù bà á gidigidi. Nígbà náà ni Saulu mú idà, ó sì ṣubú lù ú.
Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 Nígbà tí ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ si rí i pé Saulu kú, òun náà sì fi idà rẹ̀ pa ara rẹ̀, ó sì kú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Saulu sì kú, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ mẹ́ta, àti ẹni tí ó ru ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ kan náà.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 Nígbà ti àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli tí ó wà lápá kejì àfonífojì náà, àti àwọn ẹni tí ó wà lápá kejì Jordani, rí pé àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sá, àti pé Saulu àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ ti kú, wọ́n sì fi ìlú sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì sá, àwọn Filistini sì wá, wọ́n sì jókòó si ìlú wọn.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Ní ọjọ́ kejì, nígbà tí àwọn Filistini dé láti bọ́ nǹkan tí ń bẹ lára àwọn tí ó kù, wọ́n sì rí pé, Saulu àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ mẹ́ta ṣubú ni òkè Gilboa.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 Wọ́n sì gé orí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì bọ ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ránṣẹ́ lọ ilẹ̀ Filistini káàkiri, láti máa sọ ọ́ ní gbangba ni ilé òrìṣà wọn, àti láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 Wọ́n sì fi ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀ sí ilé Aṣtoreti: wọ́n sì kan òkú rẹ̀ mọ́ odi Beti-Ṣani.
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Jabesi Gileadi sì gbọ́ èyí tí àwọn Filistini ṣe sí Saulu.
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára sì dìde, wọ́n sì fi gbogbo òru náà rìn, wọ́n sì gbé òkú Saulu, àti òkú àwọn ọmọ bíbí rẹ̀ kúrò lára odi Beti-Ṣani, wọ́n sì wá sí Jabesi, wọ́n sì sun wọ́n níbẹ̀.
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 Wọ́n sì kó egungun wọn, wọ́n sì sin wọ́n lábẹ́ igi tamariski ní Jabesi, wọ́n sì gbààwẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ méje.
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
