撒母耳记上 31
1 非利士人与以色列人争战。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被杀仆倒的。
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们，就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单、亚比拿达、麦基舒亚。
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，
When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him critically.
4 就吩咐拿他兵器的人说：“你拔出刀来，将我刺死，免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我，凌辱我。”但拿兵器的人甚惧怕，不肯刺他；扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了。
Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and run me through 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 拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died with him.
6 这样，扫罗和他三个儿子，与拿他兵器的人，以及跟随他的人，都一同死亡。
So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day.
7 住平原那边并约旦河西的以色列人，见以色列军兵逃跑，扫罗和他儿子都死了，也就弃城逃跑。非利士人便来住在其中。
When the Israelites along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan saw that the army of Israel 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，非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服，看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山，
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 就割下他的首级，剥了他的军装，打发人到非利士地的四境，报信与他们庙里的偶像和众民；
They cut off Saul’s head, stripped off his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temples of their idols and among their people.
10 又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯·珊的城墙上。
They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 基列·雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，
When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯·珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了；
all their men of valor set out, journeyed all night, and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they arrived at Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.
13 将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下，就禁食七日。
Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
