1 Když pak bojovali Filistinští s Izraelem, utíkali muži Izraelští před Filistinskými, a padli, zbiti jsouce na hoře Gelboe.
The army of Philistia [again] fought against the Israelis. The Israeli soldiers ran away from them, and many Israelis were killed {the soldiers of Philistia killed many Israelis} on Gilboa Mountain.
2 I stihali Filistinští Saule a syny jeho, a zabili Filistinští Jonatu, Abinadaba a Melchisua, syny Saulovy.
The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 A když se zsilila bitva proti Saulovi, trefili na něj střelci s luky, a postřelen jest od střelců.
The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
4 Protož řekl Saul oděnci svému: Vytrhni meč svůj a probodni mne jím, aby přijdouce ti neobřezanci, nečinili sobě ze mne posměchu. Ale nechtěl oděnec jeho, nebo se bál velmi. A pochytiv Saul meč, nalehl na něj.
Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to injure me [further] and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it [and died].
5 Tedy vida oděnec jeho, že umřel Saul, nalehl i on na meč a umřel.
When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
6 A tak umřel Saul i tři synové jeho, a všecka čeled jeho spolu zemřeli.
So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
7 Když pak uzřeli všickni muži Izraelští, kteříž bydlili za tím údolím, že utekli Izraelští, a že zemřeli Saul i synové jeho, opustivše města svá, též utíkali. I přišli Filistinští a bydlili v nich.
When the Israelis who were living in the valley saw that their army had run away and that Saul and his three sons were dead, they left their towns and ran away. Then the soldiers from Philistia came and (occupied/lived in) those towns.
8 Potom nazejtří přišli Filistinští, aby zloupili pobité. I nalezli Saule a syny jeho, ležící na hoře Gelboe.
The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the corpses of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
9 A svlékše ho, vzali hlavu jeho i odění jeho, a poslali po zemi Filistinské vůkol, aby to ohlášeno bylo modlám jejich i lidu.
They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
10 Složili také i odění jeho v chrámě boha svého, hlavu pak jeho přibili v chrámě Dágon.
Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news throughout their own area, to their idols and to the other people. They put Saul’s armor in the temple where their idols were, and they hung Saul’s head in the temple of [their god] Dagon.
11 Tedy uslyšavše všickni v Jábes Galád všecko, což učinili Filistinští Saulovi,
All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
12 Zdvihli se všickni muži silní a vzali tělo Saulovo, a těla synů jeho, a přinesli je doJábes. A pochovavše kosti jejich pod jedním dubem v Jábes, postili se sedm dní.
So the bravest men/soldiers of Jabesh went and got the corpses of Saul and his sons and brought them back to Jabesh. They buried their bones under a large tree in Jabesh. Then the people of Jabesh (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
13 A tak umřel Saul pro přestoupení své, jímž byl přestoupil proti Hospodinu, totiž proti slovu Hospodinovu, jehož neostříhal, a že se také radil s duchem věštím, doptávaje se ho,
Saul died because he did not faithfully obey what Yahweh told him to do. He even went to a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people and asked her what he should do,
14 A nedoptával se Hospodina. Protož zabil jej, a přenesl království na Davida syna Izai.
instead of asking Yahweh what he should do. So Yahweh caused him to die, and he appointed David, the son of Jesse, to be the king [of Israel].
