¹And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.

¹Huan Philistia miten Israel a dou ua; huchiin Israel mite Philistia mite maah a taikek ua, Gilboa mual ah thah pukin a om uhi.

²And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.

²Huan Philistia miten Saul leh a tapate a delh vengveng ua; huan Philistia miten Jonathan, Abinadab leh Malki-sua, Saul tapate a that uhi.

³And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him, and he was terrified by the archers.

³Huan kidouna Saul adingin a haksa mahmahtaa, thalkapmiten amah a phata uhi; huan thalkapmite jiakin a lungkham mahmah hi.

⁴Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.

⁴Huchihlaiin Saulin galvanpopa kiangah, Na namsau dok khia inla, huaiin hondawt pailetin; huchilouinjaw hiai zeksumlouhte hongpaiin bawl louhlouhin a hon bawl kha ding uh, a chi a. Himahleh a galvanpopa a ut kei; a lau mahmah ngala. Huajiakin Saulin a namsau a laa, kisatnan a neita hi.

⁵And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

⁵Huan a galvanpopan Saul a sita chih a theihin, huaibangmahin aman leng a namsau kisatnain a zanga, a sita hi.

⁶So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

⁶Huchiin Saul a sitaa, a tapa thumte; huan a inkote tengteng leng a si khawmvek uhi.

⁷And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

⁷Huan guama om Israel mite tengtengin Sepaihte a taikek uh leh Saul leh a tapate a si uh chih a muh un a khopite uh a nusia ua, a taikekta uhi; huan Philistia mite a hong ua huaite ah a tengta uhi.

⁸And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gilboa.

⁸Huan a jingsangin hichi ahi a, thahsate suah dinga Philistia mite a hongpai lai un, Gilboa mual ah Saul leh a tapate a puk uh chih a mu uhi.

⁹And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.

⁹Huan amah a sual ua, a lutang a la ua, a galvan leng, a milimte uh kiang leh mite kiangah tanchin puak dingin Philistia mite gamsungah a khak kimvel vek uhi.

¹⁰And they put his armour in the house of their god, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

¹⁰Huchiin a galvan a pathiante uh in ah a koih ua, Dagon in ah a lutang a tak uhi.

¹¹And when all they of Jabesh-Gilead heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

¹¹Huan Jabesh-gilead tengtengin Saul tunga Philistia mite thilhih tengteng a jak un,

¹²all the valiant men arose, and took up the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the terebinth of Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

¹²Mi hangsante tengteng a thou ua, Saul luang leh, a tapate luang a vala mang ua, Jabesh ah a honpua ua, Jabesha toso sing nuaiah a guhte uh a vui ua, ni sagih an a ngawl uhi.

¹³And Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah which he kept not, and also for having inquired of the spirit of Python, asking counsel of it;

¹³Huchiin TOUPA tunga tatlekna a hiha, TOUPA thu a zuih louh jiakin, Saul a sitaa; dawi-jawl aisansiam thu a dotjiakin,Huaia thukana, TOUPA akipan thu a kan louh jiakin: huaijiakin amah a thata, gam tuh Jesai tapa David lamah a peta hi.

¹⁴and he asked not counsel of Jehovah; therefore he slew him, and transferred the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

¹⁴Huaia thukana, TOUPA akipan thu a kan louh jiakin: huaijiakin amah a thata, gam tuh Jesai tapa David lamah a peta hi.
