1 Samuelova 31
1 A tak potýkali se Filistinští s Izraelem. Muži pak Izraelští utíkali před Filistinskými a padli, zbiti jsouce na hoře Gelboe.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
2 I stihali Filistinští Saule a syny jeho, a zabili Filistinští Jonatu a Abinadaba a Melchisua, syny Saulovy.
And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
3 Když se pak zsilila bitva proti Saulovi, trefili na něj střelci, muži s luky; i postřelen jest velmi od těch střelců.
And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, the men with bows; and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
4 I řekl Saul oděnci svému: Vytrhni meč svůj a probodni mne jím, aby přijdouce ti neobřezanci, neprobodli mne, a neučinili sobě ze mne posměchu. Ale nechtěl oděnec jeho, nebo se bál velmi. A pochytiv Saul meč, nalehl na něj.
And Saul said unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid; wherefore Saul took the sword, and fell upon it.
5 Tedy vida oděnec jeho, že umřel Saul, nalehl i on na meč svůj a umřel s ním.
And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 A tak umřel Saul a tři synové jeho, a oděnec jeho, ano i všickni muži jeho v ten den spolu.
Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, also all his men, on that same day together.
7 Když pak uzřeli synové Izraelští, kteříž bydlili za tím údolím, a kteříž bydlili za Jordánem, že zutíkali muži Izraelští, nadto že Saul i synové jeho zahynuli, opustivše města, také utíkali. I přišli Filistinští a bydlili v nich.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and those that were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons had died: they forsook the cities, and fled away; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 A když bylo nazejtří, přišli Filistinští, aby zloupili pobité; i nalezli Saule a tři syny jeho ležící na hoře Gelboe.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.
9 I sťali hlavu jeho a svlékli odění jeho, a poslali po zemi Filistinské vůkol, aby to ohlášeno bylo v chrámě modl jejich i lidu.
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 I složili odění jeho v chrámě Astarot, tělo pak jeho přibili na zdi Betsan.
And they put his armor in the house of 'Ashtaroth; and his body they fastened to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Tedy uslyšavše o tom obyvatelé Jábes Galád, co učinili Filistinští Saulovi,
And when the inhabitants of Yabeshgil'ad heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul:
12 Zdvihli se všickni muži silní, a jdouce celou noc, sňali tělo Saulovo i těla synů jeho se zdi Betsanské; a když se navrátili do Jábes, spálili je tam.
Then arose all the valiant men, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Yabesh, and burnt them there.
13 A vzavše kosti jejich, pochovali je pod stromem v Jábes, a postili se sedm dní.
And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree at Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
