Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
1Mwet Philistia elos mweun lain mwet Israel fin Fineol Gilboa. Mwet Israel pukanten elos misa in acn sac, ac mwet lula sin mwet Israel, welulang Tokosra Saul ac wen natul, elos kaingla.
2The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
2Tusruktu mwet Philistia elos ukwalos, ac uniya wen tolu inge natul Saul: Jonathan, Abinadab, ac Malchishua.
3When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him critically.
3Mweun sac arulana upa nu facl Saul, ac el pisrkiyuki ke pisr nutin mwet lokoalok lal, ac arulana yohk kinet kacl.
4Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and run me through and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
4Saul el fahk nu sin mwet fusr se su us mwe mweun natul ah, “Faisak cutlass nutum an ac uniyuwi, tuh mwet Philistia pegan ingan in tia konkin lah elos uniyuwi.” Tuh mwet fusr sac arulana sangeng ac kofla orala. Ke ma inge Saul el srukak cutlass natul sifacna, ac putatyang nu fac.
5When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died with him.
5Ke mwet fusr sac liye lah Saul el misa, na el oayapa putatyang nu fin cutlass natul ah, ac welul Saul misa.
6So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day.
6Na pa ingan luman misa lal Saul ac wen tolu natul, ac mwet fusr sac. Mwet nukewa su welul Saul elos misa ke len sac.
7When the Israelites along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan saw that the army of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
7Ke mwet Israel su muta lefahlo Infahlfal Jezreel, ac elos su muta lefahlyat Infacl Jordan, elos lohng lah un mwet mweun lun mwet Israel elos kaing, ac Saul ac wen natul elos misa, elos fahsr liki siti selos ac kaingla. Na mwet Philistia elos tuku ac muta we.
8The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
8In len se tukun mweun upa sac, mwet Philistia elos som in suk ma wap ke mwet misa, na elos konauk manol Saul ac wen tolu natul oan Fineol Gilboa.
9They cut off Saul’s head, stripped off his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temples of their idols and among their people.
9Elos pakela sifal Saul, ac sarukla mwe loeyuk lal, ac supwalik ma inge yurin mwet utuk kas nu in facl Philistia nufon, in fahkak pweng wo se inge nu sin ma sruloala lalos ac nu sin mwet lalos.
10They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
10Elos filiya mwe mweun natul Saul in tempul lun god mutan se pangpang Astarte, ac elos patikya manol Saul nu ke pot uh in siti Beth Shan.
11When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
11Ke mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos lohng ma mwet Philistia oru nu sel Saul,
12all their men of valor set out, journeyed all night, and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they arrived at Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.
12na mwet pulaik inmasrlolos elos fahla fong nufon se nwe ke elos sun Beth Shan. Elos eisya manol Saul ac wen natul liki pot uh, ac usla nu Jabesh ac esukak we.
13Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13Na elos orani sri uh, ac pikinya ye sak tamarisk soko in siti uh, ac elos lalo ke len itkosr.
