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 slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Filistejci stisnuše Šaula i njegove sinove i pogubiše Šaulove sinove Jonatana, Abinadaba i Malki-Šuu.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, 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 went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was in anguish by reason of the archers.
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.
Then said Saul unto his armour-bearer: 'Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and make a mock of me.' But his armour-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore 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 armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise 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 died 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 all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; 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 it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 Svukavši ga, uzeše mu glavu i oružje te poslaše po filistejskoj zemlji unaokolo javljajući veselu vijest svojim idolima i narodu.
And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10 Potom su oružje metnuli u hram svoga boga, a lubanju mu izložili u Dagonovu hramu.
And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Kad su čuli svi Jabeš-Gileađani što su Filistejci učinili od Šaula,
And when all Jabesh-gilead heard 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 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 terebinth in Jabesh, and 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 transgression which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD, which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of a ghost, to inquire thereby,
14 a nije pitao Jahvu; zato ga je ubio i prenio kraljevstvo na Jišajeva sina Davida.
and inquired not of the LORD; therefore He slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
