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.
And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded 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 follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
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 is hard against Saul, and the archers find him—men with bow—and he is greatly pained by 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.
and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come—these uncircumcised—and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me”; and the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on 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 the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and he falls—he also—on his sword, and dies 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.
and Saul dies, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, together on that day.
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 they see—the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan—that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell 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 comes to pass on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on 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 strip off his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines, to proclaim tidings [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 place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and they have fixed his body on the wall of Beth-Shan.
11 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Jabesi Gileadi sì gbọ́ èyí tí àwọn Filistini ṣe sí Saulu.
And they hear regarding it—the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead—that which the Philistines have 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.
and all the men of valor arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come to Jabesh, and burn 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 take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
