< 1 Samuel 31 >
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel. And the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
Torej Filistejci so se borili zoper Izrael in Izraelci so pobegnili pred Filistejci in padli dol, umorjeni na gori Gilbói.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons, and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Filistejci so tesno sledili Savlu in njegovim sinovom in Filistejci so usmrtili Jonatana, Abinadába in Malkišúa, Savlove sinove.
3 And the battle went severely against Saul, and the archers overtook him, and he was greatly distressed because of the archers.
Bitka je postala huda zoper Savla in lokostrelci so ga zadeli; in bil je hudo ranjen od lokostrelcev.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme: »Izvleci svoj meč in me prebodi z njim; da ne bi prišli ti neobrezanci in me prebodli in me zlorabili.« Vendar njegov nosilec bojne opreme ni hotel, kajti bil je hudo prestrašen. Zato je Savel vzel meč in padel nanj.
5 And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him.
Ko je njegov nosilec bojne opreme videl, da je bil Savel mrtev, je tudi sam prav tako padel na svoj meč in umrl z njim.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Tako so ta isti dan skupaj umrli Savel, njegovi trije sinovi, njegov nosilec bojne opreme in vsi njegovi možje.
7 And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled. And the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Ko so Izraelovi možje, ki so bili na drugi strani doline in tisti, ki so bili na drugi strani Jordana, videli, da so Izraelovi možje pobegnili in da so bili Savel in njegovi sinovi mrtvi, so zapustili mesta in pobegnili in Filistejci so prišli ter prebivali v njih.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, ko so prišli Filistejci, da oropajo umorjene, da so našli Savla in njegove tri sinove padle na gori Gilbói.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about to carry the news to the house of their idols, and to the people.
Odsekali so njegovo glavo, slekli njegovo bojno opremo in poslali naokoli, v deželo Filistejcev, da to razglasijo v hiši njihovih malikov in med ljudstvom.
10 And they put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
Njegovo bojno opremo so položili v hišo Astarte. Njegovo telo pa so pritrdili na obzidje Bet Šeána.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ko so prebivalci Jabéš Gileáda slišali o tem, kar so Filistejci storili Savlu,
12 all the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
so se vsi hrabri možje vzdignili in hodili vso noč in vzeli Savlovo telo in telesa njegovih sinov z obzidja Bet Šeána in prišli v Jabéš ter jih tam sežgali.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
In vzeli so njihove kosti in jih pokopali pod drevesom pri Jabéšu in se postili sedem dni.
