¹Haddaba 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.

¹And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,

²Oo reer Falastiinna aad bay u eryadeen Saa'uul iyo wiilashiisii, markaasaa reer Falastiin waxay dileen Yoonaataan, iyo Abiinaadaab, iyo Melkiishuuca oo ahaa Saa'uul wiilashiisii.

²and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.

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

³And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him — men with bow — and he is pained greatly by the archers;

⁴Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu kii hubka u siday ku yidhi, War seeftaada la soo bax oo iga mudhbixi, waaba intaasoo buuryoqabyadanu yimaadaan oo ay intay seef iga mudhbixiyaan 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.

⁴and Saul saith to the bearer of his weapons, `Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come — these uncircumcised — and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me;` and the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it.

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

⁵And the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and he falleth — he also — on his sword, and dieth with him;

⁶Sidaas daraaddeed maalintaas waxaa wada dhintay Saa'uul, iyo saddexdiisii wiil, iyo kii hubka u siday, iyo raggiisii oo dhan.

⁶and Saul dieth, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, on that day together.

⁷Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dooxadii dhankeeda kale joogay, iyo kuwii Webi Urdun shishadiisa joogay, markay arkeen in raggii reer binu Israa'iil carareen oo Saa'uul iyo wiilashiisii ay dhinteen ayay magaalooyinkii ka tageen oo carareen; markaasaa reer Falastiin yimaadeen oo iska degeen.

⁷And they see — the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan — that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell in them.

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

⁸And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa,

⁹Markaasay madaxii ka gooyeen, oo hubkiisiina way ka furteen, oo waxay u cid direen dalkii reer Falastiin oo ku wareegsanaa inay u wargeeyaan gurigii sanamyadooda iyo dadkiiba.

⁹and they cut off his head, and strip off his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim tidings [in] the house of their idols, and [among] the people;

¹⁰Oo hubkiisiina gurigii Cashtarod ayay dhigeen, meydkiisiina derbigii Beytshaan bay ku xidheen.

¹⁰and they place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and his body they have fixed on the wall of Beth-Shan.

¹¹Oo dadkii Yaabeesh Gilecaad degganaa markay maqleen waxyaalihii ay reer Falastiin Saa'uul ku sameeyeen,

¹¹And they hear regarding it — the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead — that which the Philistines have done to Saul,

¹²waxaa kacay raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan, oo habeenkii oo dhan ayay sii guuraynayeen, markaasay Beytshaan derbigiisii ka soo qaadeen Saa'uul meydkiisii iyo meydadkii wiilashiisa, kolkaasay yimaadeen Yaabeesh, oo halkaasay ku gubeen.Markaasay lafahoodii qaadeen oo ku aaseen geed Yaabeesh ku yiil hoostiisa, toddoba maalmoodna way soomeen.

¹²and all the men of valour arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come in to Jabesh, and burn them there,

¹³Markaasay lafahoodii qaadeen oo ku aaseen geed Yaabeesh ku yiil hoostiisa, toddoba maalmoodna way soomeen.

¹³and they take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
