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 from before the Philistines, and fell down 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 after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
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。
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
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 armour bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armour bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 執戟者見撒烏耳已死，也伏劍自刎。
When his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his 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 with his three sons; and all his house died together.
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 men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
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。
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, 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 him and took his head and his armour, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the 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 armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house 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 all Jabesh Gilead heard all that 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 the valiant men arose 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.
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 trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to enquire,
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 didn’t enquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
