¹Huchi in Philistia miten Israelte a sual ua; huan, Israel mite Philistia mite a kipan a taikek ua, Gilboa tang ah thah in a om zelzul maimah uh.

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 Saula leh a tapa a delhzui vengveng ua; huan, Philistia miten Saula tapate, Jonathan leh Abinadab leh Malkisu a that uh.

²And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.

³Huan, Saula a nak sual mahmah ua, thalkap miten a delh phata uh; thal kapmite ziak in a lungzing mahmahta hi.

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

⁴Huchi in Saula in a galvan tawipa kiang ah, na namsau dok inla hon sun pailet in; huchilou in zaw hiai zeksumlouhte a hong pai ding ua, a hong sun pailet ding ua, ka tungah a ki uangsak kha ding uh, a chi a. Himahleh a galvan tawipan a hih nuamkei hi; a lau mahmah ngal a. Huaiziak in Saula in a namsau a la a, a bohta hi.

⁴Then 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.

⁵Huan, a galvan tawipan Saula a si chih a theih in aman leng a namsau a boh teita a, a si khawmta uhi.

⁵And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.

⁶Huchi in Saula toh, a tapate thum toh, a galvan tawipa toh, a mite tengteng toh, huai ni in a si khawm vek uh.

⁶So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

⁷Huan, guam gal khat lam a Israel mi omte leh Jordan gal a omten Israel mite a taikek uh chih leh Saula leh a tapate a si uh chih a theih un khuate a pawt khiak san ua, a tai mangta uhi; huan, Philistia miten a valuahta uhi.

⁷And 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.

⁸Huan, hichi ahi a a zingsang in Philistiate a gal thahte uh puansilh phelsak ding a a vapai uleh Saula leh a tapate thum Gilboa tang a nasi a vamu ua.

⁸And 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.

⁹Huan, a lu a tan ua, a galvan a phel ua, a thu a milim biakna in uh leh mite kianga phuang ding in Philistia gam kimvel ah a khak uh.

⁹And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.

¹⁰Huan, a galvan bel Astoreth in ah a koih ua; a luang bel Bethsan kulhbang ah a tak uh.

¹⁰And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.

¹¹Huan, Jabes-Gilead a omten Philistia miten Saula a bawldan thu a nazak un,

¹¹And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;

¹²Mi hangsan tengteng a thou ua, zankhua in a pai ua, Saula luang leh a tapate luang Bethsan kulh bang a kipan a la ua; huan, Jabes a tung ua, huai ah a hal uh.Huan, a guhte uh a la ua, Jabes a tamarisk sing nuai ah a vui ua, huan, ni sagih an a ngawl uh.

¹²All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.

¹³Huan, a guhte uh a la ua, Jabes a tamarisk sing nuai ah a vui ua, huan, ni sagih an a ngawl uh.

¹³And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
