1 H addaba reer Falastiin waxay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil, oo raggii reer binu Israa'iilna way ka carareen reer Falastiin, oo Buur Gilboca ayay ku daateen iyagoo la laayay.

Now the many Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel ran away from the Philistines, and were killed on Mount Gilboa.

2 O o reer Falastiin aad bay u eryadeen Saa'uul iyo wiilashiisii, markaasaa reer Falastiin waxay dileen Yoonaataan, iyo Abiinaadaab, iyo Malkiishuuca oo ahaa Saa'uul wiilashiisii.

The Philistines went after Saul and his sons. And they killed Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchi-shua, Saul’s sons.

3 O o dagaalkiina aad buu ugu sii kululaaday Saa'uul, oo waxaa isagii gaadhay qaansoleydii, oo isna qaansoleydii aawadeed ayuu dhib badan ula kulmay.

The battle was hard for Saul. Those who fought with the bow found him, and hurt him with an arrow.

4 M arkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu kii hubka u siday ku yidhi, War seeftaada la soo bax oo iga mudhbixi, waaba intaasoo buuryoqabyadanu yimaadaan oo ay i caayaane. Laakiinse kii hubka u siday wuu diiday, waayo, aad buu u cabsaday. Sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuxuu qaatay seeftiisii, markaasuu ku dul dhacay.

Then Saul said to the one who carried his battle-clothes, “Take your sword and kill me with it. Or these men who have not gone through our religious act will come and make fun of me.” But the one who carried his battle-clothes would not do it. For he was very afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it.

5 O o kii hubka u sidayna markuu arkay in Saa'uul dhintay isna wuxuu ku dul dhacay seeftiisii, wuuna dhintay.

When the one who carried his battle-clothes saw that Saul was dead, he fell on his sword and died also.

6 S idaas daraaddeed waxaa wada dhintay Saa'uul iyo saddexdiisii wiil, oo reerkiisii oo dhammu way wada dhinteen.

So Saul died with his three sons. All those of his house died together.

7 O o raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dooxada joogay oo dhammu markay arkeen inay iyagu carareen, oo Saa'uul iyo wiilashiisii ay dhinteen ayay magaalooyinkoodii ka tageen, oo carareen, markaasaa reer Falastiin yimaadeen oo iska degeen.

All the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the army had run away and that Saul and his sons were dead. So they left their cities and ran away. Then the Philistines came and lived in their cities.

8 O o maalintii dambe markay reer Falastiin u yimaadeen inay dharka ka furtaan kuwii la dilay waxay heleen Saa'uul iyo wiilashiisii oo Buur Gilboca ku dhintay.

When the Philistines came the next day to take what had belonged to the dead, they found Saul and his sons dead on Mount Gilboa.

9 M arkaasay furteen oo waxay qaateen madaxiisii iyo hubkiisii, oo waxay u cid direen dalkii reer Falastiin oo ku wareegsanaa inay u wargeeyaan sanamyadooda iyo dadkiiba.

So they took his clothes, his head, and his battle-clothes. And they sent men around the land of the Philistines to take the good news to their false gods and to the people.

10 O o hubkiisiina gurigii ilaahyadooda ayay dhigeen, oo madaxiisiina waxay ku dhejiyeen gurigii Daagoon.

They put Saul’s battle-clothes in the house of their gods. And they put his head in the house of Dagon.

11 O o dadkii Yaabeesh Gilecaad oo dhammu markay maqleen waxyaalihii ay reer Falastiin Saa'uul ku sameeyeen oo dhan,

All the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul.

12 w axaa kacay raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan, oo waxay soo qaadeen Saa'uul meydkiisii iyo meydadkii wiilashiisa, kolkaasay keeneen Yaabeesh, oo lafahoodii waxay ku aaseen geedkii Yaabeesh ku yiil hoostiisa, toddoba maalmoodna way soomeen.

So all the powerful soldiers went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them to Jabesh and buried their bones under the oak tree there. Then they went without food for seven days.

13 H addaba Saa'uul wuxuu u dhintay xadgudubkiisii uu isagu Rabbiga ku xadgudbay, maxaa yeelay, isagu Eraygii Rabbiga ma uu dhawrin, oo weliba isagu wuxuu talo weyddiistay mid ruuxaan lahayd, si uu iyada wax u weyddiisto,

So Saul died for his sin against the Lord, because he did not keep the Word of the Lord. He had asked a woman who spoke with spirits what he should do.

14 o o Rabbiga wax ma uu weyddiisan, oo sidaas aawadeed ayaa Rabbigu isaga u dilay, oo boqortooyadiina wuxuu u wareejiyey Daa'uud oo ahaa ina Yesay.

He did not ask the Lord. So the Lord killed him, and gave the nation to David the son of Jesse.
