撒母耳記上 31
1 非利士人與以色列人爭戰。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被殺仆倒的。
Forsothe Filisteis fouyten ayens Israel, and the men of Israel fledden bifor the face of Filisteis, and felden slayn in the hil of Gelboe.
2 非利士人緊追掃羅和他兒子們，就殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達、麥基舒亞。
And Filisteis hurliden on Saul, and on hise sones, and smytiden Jonathas, and Amynadab, and Melchisua, sones of Saul.
3 勢派甚大，掃羅被弓箭手追上，射傷甚重，
And al the weiyte of batel was turned `in to Saul; and men archeris pursueden hym, and he was woundid greetli of the archeris.
4 就吩咐拿他兵器的人說：「你拔出刀來，將我刺死，免得那些未受割禮的人來刺我，凌辱我。」但拿兵器的人甚懼怕，不肯刺他；掃羅就自己伏在刀上死了。
And Saul seide to his squyer, Drawe out thi swerd, and sle me, lest perauenture these vncircumcidid men come, and sle me, and scorne me. And his squyer nolde, for he was aferd bi ful grete drede; therfor Saul took his swerd, and felde theronne.
5 拿兵器的人見掃羅已死，也伏在刀上死了。
And whanne his squyer hadde seyn this, `that is, that Saul was deed, also he felde on his swerd and was deed with hym.
6 這樣，掃羅和他三個兒子，與拿他兵器的人，以及跟隨他的人，都一同死亡。
Therfor Saul was deed, and hise thre sones, and his squyer, and alle his men in that dai togidere.
7 住平原那邊並約旦河西的以色列人，見以色列軍兵逃跑，掃羅和他兒子都死了，也就棄城逃跑。非利士人便來住在其中。
Forsothe the sones of Israel, that weren biyendis the valei, and biyendis Jordan, sien that the men of Israel hadden fled, and that Saul was deed, and hise sones, and thei leften her citees and fledden; and Filisteis camen, and dwelliden there.
8 次日，非利士人來剝那被殺之人的衣服，看見掃羅和他三個兒子仆倒在基利波山，
Forsothe in `the tother dai maad, Filisteis camen, that thei schulden dispuyle the slayn men, and thei founden Saul, and hise thre sones, liggynge in the hil of Gelboe; and thei kittiden awei the heed of Saul,
9 就割下他的首級，剝了他的軍裝，打發人到 非利士地的四境，報信與他們廟裏的偶像和眾民；
and dispuyliden hym of armeris; and senten in to the lond of Filisteis bi cumpas, that it schulde be teld in the temple of idols, and in the puplis.
10 又將掃羅的軍裝放在亞斯她錄廟裏，將他的屍身釘在伯‧珊的城牆上。
And thei puttiden hise armeris in the temple of Astoroth; sotheli thei hangiden his bodi in the wal of Bethsan.
11 基列‧雅比的居民聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的事，
And whanne the dwellers of Jabes of Galaad hadden herd this, what euer thingis Filisteis hadden do to Saul,
12 他們中間所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，將掃羅和他兒子的屍身從伯‧珊城牆上取下來，送到雅比那裏，用火燒了；
alle the strongeste men risiden, and yeden in al that nyyt, and token the deed bodi of Saul, and the deed bodies of hise sones fro the wal of Bethsan; and the men of Jabes of Galaad camen, and brenten tho deed bodies bi fier.
13 將他們骸骨葬在雅比的垂絲柳樹下，就禁食七日。
And thei token the boonus of hem, and birieden in the wode of Jabes, and fastiden bi seuene daies.
