1 Samuelova 31
1 Filistejci su zavojštili na Izraelce, a Izraelci su pobjegli pred njima i padali pobijeni po gori Gilboi.
Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.
2 Filistejci stisnuše Šaula i njegove sinove i pogubiše Šaulove sinove Jonatana, Abinadaba i Malki-Šuu.
And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.
3 Boj je postao žešći oko Šaula. Iznenadiše ga strijelci s lukovima i on pade teško ranjen od strijelaca.
And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Šaul tada reče svome štitonoši: “Izvuci svoj mač i probodi me da ne dođu ti neobrezanici 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 saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon 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 sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him.
6 Tako onoga dana pogiboše zajedno Šaul, njegova tri sina, njegov štitonoša i svi njegovi ljudi.
So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 Kad Izraelci koji bijahu na drugoj strani doline i na drugoj strani Jordana vidješe da su sinovi Izraelovi pobjegli i da je poginuo Šaul sa sinovima, ostaviše svoje gradove te se razbježaše. Filistejci dođoše i nastaniše se u njima.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.
8 Kad su sutradan došli Filistejci da oplijene pobijeđene, nađoše Šaula i njegova tri sina gdje leže na gori Gilboi.
And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,
9 Oni mu odsjekoše glavu i skidoše s njega oružje, koje poslaše po svoj filistejskoj zemlji naokolo, javljajući veselu vijest svojim idolima i narodu.
And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, and sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, and among the people.
10 Potom oružje metnuše u Aštartin hram, a Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo pribiše na zid grada Bet Šana.
And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Ali kad oni u Jabešu Gileadskom čuše što su Filistejci učinili od Šaula,
When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,
12 ustadoše svi hrabri ljudi i, pošto su hodili svu noć, uzeše Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo i tjelesa njegovih sinova sa zida grada Bet Šana pa ih donesoše u Jabeš i ondje spališe.
Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there,
13 Potom uzeše njihove kosti i ukopaše ih pod tamarisom u Jabešu i postiše sedam dana.
And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
