I Samuel 31

Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

Na kua whawhai nga Pirihitini ki a Iharaira, a ka whati nga tangata o Iharaira i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini, a hinga ana, mate rawa, i Maunga Kiripoa.

And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi–shua, Saul's sons.

Na ka whaia e nga Pirihitini a Haora ratou ko ana tama, a patua iho e nga Pirihitini a Honatana ratou ko Apinarapa, ko Marikihua, nga tama a Haora.

And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.

Na ka nui haere te whawhai ki a Haora, a ka mau ia i nga kaikopere; nui rawa tona tunga i nga kaikopere.

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.

Katahi a Haora ka mea ki tana kaimau patu, Unuhia tau hoari, werohia hoki ahau; kei haere mai tenei hunga kokotikore, a ka wero i ahau, ka whakatupu kino i ahau. Otiia kihai i pai tana kaimau patu; he nui hoki no tona hopohopo. Na reira ka mau a Haora ki tana hoari, hinga iho ki runga.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.

A, no te kitenga o tana kaimau patu, kua mate a Haora, ka hinga hoki ia ki tana hoari, a mate tahi ana raua.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

Heoi kotahi tonu te matenga o Haora ratou ko ana tama tokotoru, ko tana kaimau patu, me ana tangata katoa i taua ra ano.

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.

A, no te kitenga o nga tangata o Iharaira i tera taha o te raorao, i tawhi ano o Horano, kua whati nga tangata o Iharaira, a kua mate a Haora ratou ko ana tama, whakarerea ake e ratou nga pa, a rere ana; na ka haere nga Pirihitini nohoia iho.

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.

A, i te aonga ake, i te haerenga o nga Pirihitini ki te muru i te hunga i patua, na, ka kitea e ratou a Haora ratou ko ana tama tokotoru e takoto ana i Maunga Kiripoa.

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.

Na tapahia ana e ratou tona upoko, murua ana ana patu, unga ana e ratou kia kawea puta noa i te whenua o nga Pirihitini a tawhio noa, kia kauwhautia i roto i te whare o a ratou whakapakoko, i roto hoki i te iwi.

And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth–shan.

A i whakatakotoria e ratou ana patu ki te whare o Ahataroto, ko tona tinana ia i titia e ratou ki te taiepa o Petehana.

And when the inhabitants of Jabesh–gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;

A, no ka rongo nga tangata o Iapehe Kireara ki ta nga Pirihitini i mea ai ki a Haora,

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.

Ka whakatika nga marohirohi katoa, a haere ana pau noa taua po katoa; na tangohia iho e ratou te tinana o Haora, me nga tinana o ana tama i te taiepa o Petehana, a haere ana ki Iapehe, tahuna ana ki reira.

And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

I maua hoki o ratou whenua e ratou, a tanumia ana ki raro i tetahi rakau i Iapehe, a e whitu nga ra i nohopuku ai.
