1 Ljetopisa 10
1 Filistejci su zavojštili na Izraelce. Izraelci su pobjegli pred njima i padali pobijeni po gori Gilboi.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
2 Filistejci stisnuše Šaula i njegove sinove i pogubiše Šaulove sinove Jonatana, Abinadaba i Malki-Šuu.
And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 Boj je postao žešći oko Šaula. Iznenadiše ga strijelci s lukovima i on pade ranjen od strijelaca.
And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
4 Tada Šaul reče svome štitonoši: “Izvuci svoj mač i probodi me da ne dođu ti neobrezanci i ne narugaju mi se.” Ali se njegov štitonoša prestravi i ne htjede toga učiniti. Zato Šaul uze mač i baci se na nj.
And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 Kad je štitonoša vidio da je Šaul umro, baci se i on na svoj mač i umrije s njim.
And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
6 Tako onog dana pogiboše zajedno Šaul, njegova tri sina i sav njegov dom.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
7 Kad su svi Izraelci koji su bili u dolini vidjeli da su sinovi Izraelovi pobjegli i da je poginuo Šaul sa sinovima, ostavili su svoje gradove i razbježali se. Filistejci dođoše i nastaniše se u njima.
And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.
8 Kad su sutradan došli Filistejci da oplijene pobijene, našli su Šaula s njegovim sinovima gdje leže mrtvi na gori Gilboi.
And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
9 Svukavši ga, uzeše mu glavu i oružje te poslaše po filistejskoj zemlji unaokolo javljajući veselu vijest svojim idolima i narodu.
And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10 Potom su oružje metnuli u hram svoga boga, a lubanju mu izložili u Dagonovu hramu.
And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
11 Kad su čuli svi Jabeš-Gileađani što su Filistejci učinili od Šaula,
And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 ustali su svi hrabri ljudi i uzeli Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo i tjelesa njegovih sinova i, donijevši ih u Jabeš, pokopali su njihove kosti pod tamarisom u Jabešu; i postiše sedam dana.
All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
13 Tako je poginuo Šaul za svoju nevjeru kojom se iznevjerio Jahvi: nije držao Jahvine zapovijedi i povrh toga je pitao za savjet bajačicu,
So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
14 a nije pitao Jahvu; zato ga je ubio i prenio kraljevstvo na Jišajeva sina Davida.
And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
