وَحَارَبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، فَقُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ جَمْعٌ غَفِيرٌ وَهَرَبَ الْبَاقُونَ. ١ 1
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
وَتَعَقَّبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ، فَقَتَلُوا مِنْهُمْ يُونَاثَانَ وَأَبِينَادَابَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ. ٢ 2
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.
وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ حَوْلَ شَاوُلَ، وَأَثْخَنَ رُمَاةُ السِّهَامِ شَاوُلَ بِالْجِرَاحِ. ٣ 3
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِحَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ: «اسْتَلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَاقْتُلْنِي بِهِ، لِئَلّا يَأْتِيَ هَؤُلاءِ الْغُلْفُ وَيَطْعَنُونِي وَيُشَوِّهُونِي». فَأَبَى حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ الانْصِيَاعَ لِطَلَبِ سَيِّدِهِ خَوْفاً، فَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ السَّيْفَ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ. ٤ 4
Then said Saul unto his armour bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
وَعِنْدَمَا شَاهَدَ حَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ أَنَّ شَاوُلَ قَدْ مَاتَ، وَقَعَ هُوَ أَيْضاً عَلَى سَيْفِهِ وَمَاتَ. ٥ 5
And when his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ شَاوُلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ الثَّلاثَةُ وَحَامِلُ سِلاحِهِ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِهِ مَعاً. ٦ 6
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
وَحِينَ رَأَى رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُقِيمِينَ عَلَى مُحَاذَاةِ الْوَادِي وَعَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ جَيْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ هَرَبَ، وَأَنَّ شَاوُلَ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ قَدْ مَاتُوا، هَجَرُوا الْمُدُنَ وَفَرُّوا. فَأَتَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَسَكَنُوا فِيهَا. ٧ 7
And 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.
وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي لِيَسْلُبُوا الْقَتْلَى عَثَرُوا عَلَى شَاوُلَ وَعَلَى أَبْنَائِهِ الثَّلاثَةِ صَرْعَى فِي جَبَلِ جِلْبُوعَ، ٨ 8
And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
فَقَطَعُوا رَأْسَ شَاوُلَ وَنَزَعُوا سِلاحَهُ، وَبَعَثُوا يُبَشِّرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَفِي مَعَابِدِهِمْ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِهِمْ. ٩ 9
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
وَوَضَعُوا سِلاحَهُ فِي مَعْبَدِ عَشْتَارُوثَ، وَسَمَّرُوا جَسَدَهُ عَلَى سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ. ١٠ 10
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
وَحِينَ بَلَغَ أَهْلَ يَابِيشَ جِلْعَادَ مَا فَعَلَهُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ بِجُثَّةِ شَاوُلَ، ١١ 11
And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
هَبَّ كُلُّ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الصَّنَادِيدِ وَسَارُوا اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ، وَأَنْزَلُوا جُثَّةَ شَاوُلَ وَجُثَثَ أَبْنَائِهِ عَنْ سُورِ بَيْتِ شَانَ، وَنَقَلُوهَا إِلَى يَابِيشَ وَأَحْرَقُوهَا هُنَاكَ. ١٢ 12
All 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.
ثُمَّ جَمَعُوا عِظَامَهُمْ وَدَفَنُوهَا تَحْتَ الأَثْلَةِ فِي يَابِيشَ، وَصَامُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٣ 13
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
