I Samuel 31

Ary ny Filistina niady tamin'ny Isiraely, ary nandositra teo anoloan'ny Filistina ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely, ary niampatrampatra teny an-tendrombohitra Gilboa ny faty.

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

Ary ny Filistina nanenjika mafy an'i Saoly sy ny zanany, ka matin'ny Filistina Jonatana sy Abinadaba ary Malkisoa, zanak'i Saoly.

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

Ary mafy ny ady tamin'i Saoly, dia nifanehatra tamin'ny mpandefa tsipìka izy; ary raiki-tahotra indrindra izy noho ny mpandefa tsipìka.

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

Ary hoy Saoly tamin'ny mpitondra ny fiadiany: Tsoahy ny sabatrao, ka tsatohy miboroaka aho, fandrao avy irery tsy mifora irery ka hotsatohany miboroaka aho, dia hataony ho fihomehezana. Nefa tsy nety ny mpitondra ny fiadany, fa natahotra loatra izy. Dia nalain'i Saoly ny sabatra ka nianjerany.

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.

Ary rehefa hitan'ny mpitondra ny fiadiany fa maty Saoly, dia mba nianjera tamin'ny sabany koa izy ka niara-maty taminy.

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

Ka dia niara-maty androtrizay ihany Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy sy ny mpitondra ny fiadiany ary ny olony rehetra.

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

Ary nony hitan'ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely teny an-dafin'ny lohasaha sy teny an-dafin'i Jordana fa nandositra ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely, ary maty Saoly sy ny zanany, dia niala tao an-tanàna izy ka nandositra; ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nonina tao.

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.

Ary nony ampitso, raha tonga haka ny zavatra teo amin'ny maty ny Filistina, dia nahita an'i Saoly sy ny zanany telo lahy niampatrampatra teo an-tendrombohitra Gilboa izy.

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.

Ary notapahiny ny lohany, sady nalainy ny fiadiany, ary dia naniraka tany amin'ny tanin'ny Filistina manodidina izy hanambara izany zavatra mahafaly izany ao amin'ny tranon'ny sampiny sy amin'ny olona.

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.

Dia napetrany tao amin'ny tranon'i Astarta ny fiadiany; ary ny fatiny nohomboany teo amin'ny màndan'i Beti-sana.

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

Ary nony ren'ny mponina tany Jabesi-gileada izay nataon'ny Filistina tamin'i Saoly,

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

dia niainga ny lehilahy mahery rehetra ka nandeha mandritra ny alina ary naka ny fatin'i Saoly sy ny fatin'ny zanany teo amin'ny màndan'i Beti-sana; ary tonga tao Jabesy izy ka nandoro azy tao.

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.

Ary nentiny ny taolany ka naleviny tao ambanin'ilay hazo tamariska tao Jabesy, ary dia nifady hanina hafitoana izy.

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