歷代志上 10
1 [撒烏耳陣亡]那時，培肋舍特攻打以色列，以色列人由培肋舍特人面前逃走，在基耳波亞山陣亡的人很多。
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 培肋舍特人追擊撒烏耳和他的兒子，殺了撒烏耳的兒子約納堂、阿彼納達布和瑪耳基叔亞；
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 戰爭就集中攻打撒烏耳，弓箭手發現了他，他遂為弓箭手所射傷。
When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him.
4 當時撒烏耳對自己的執戟者說：「拔出你的劍來，將我刺死，免得那些為受割損的人來凌辱我。」但是，執戟者十分害怕，不肯作這事；於是撒烏耳拔出劍來，伏劍自刎。
Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 執戟者見撒烏耳已死，也伏劍自刎。
When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died.
6 這樣，撒烏耳和他的三個兒子，並他的全家一同陣亡了。
So Saul died together with his three sons and all his house.
7 所有住在平原的以色列人見軍隊逃散，撒烏耳和他的三個兒子陣亡了，也都棄城逃走；培肋舍特人遂來住在那裏。
When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
8 次日，培肋舍特人來剝去陣亡者的衣服時，發現撒烏耳和他的兒子橫臥在基耳波亞山上。
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 他們便剝去了他的衣服，取下他的首級和武器，送到培肋舍特地方，到處給他們的神和人民報喜信。
They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.
10 以後，將撒烏耳的武器放在他們的神廟裏；將他的首級釘在達貢廟內。
They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 基肋阿得雅貝士的居民，一聽說培肋舍特人對撒烏耳所行的一切，
When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 所有的勇士便起身前去，收殮了撒烏耳和他兒子的屍體，帶回雅貝士，將他們的骨骸葬於雅貝士的篤耨香樹下，且禁食七天。
all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
13 撒烏耳之死，是由於他背叛上主，沒有遵守上主的話，並且還求問過招魂的女巫，
So Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,
14 而沒有求其問上主；因此上主使他死亡，將王位移交給葉瑟的兒子達味。
and he failed to inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
