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

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

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

²And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

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

³And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

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.

⁴Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

⁹And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.

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

¹⁰And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

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

¹¹And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

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.

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

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.

¹³So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

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

¹⁴And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
