1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
A Filisteji se pobiše s Izrailjcima, i pobjegoše Izrailjci ispred Filisteja, i padahu mrtvi na gori Gelvuji.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
I stigoše Filisteji Saula i sinove njegove; i pogubiše Filisteji Jonatana i Avinadava i Melhi-Suva, sinove Saulove.
3 When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him critically.
I boj posta žešæi oko Saula, i naðoše ga strijelci, i on se vrlo uplaši od strijelaca.
4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and run me through and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
I reèe Saul momku koji mu nošaše oružje: izvadi maè svoj i probodi me, da ne doðu ti neobrezani i probodu me i narugaju mi se. Ali ne htje momak što mu nošaše oružje, jer ga bješe vrlo strah. Tada Saul uze maè, i baci se na nj.
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died with him.
A kad momak koji nošaše oružje vidje Saula mrtva, baci se i on na svoj maè i umrije s njim.
6 So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day.
Tako pogibe Saul i tri sina njegova i momak koji mu nošaše oružje i svi ljudi njegovi zajedno onoga dana.
7 When the Israelites along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan saw that the army of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
A Izrailjci koji bijahu s ovu stranu potoka i s ovu stranu Jordana kad vidješe gdje Izrailjci pobjegoše i gdje pogibe Saul i njegovi sinovi, ostaviše gradove i pobjegoše, te doðoše Filisteji i ostaše u njima.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
A sjutradan doðoše Filisteji da svlaèe mrtve; i naðoše Saula i tri sina njegova gdje leže na gori Gelvuji.
9 They cut off Saul’s head, stripped off his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temples of their idols and among their people.
I otsjekoše mu glavu, i skidoše oružje s njega, i poslaše u zemlju Filistejsku na sve strane da se objavi u kuæi njihovijeh lažnijeh bogova i po narodu.
10 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
I ostaviše oružje njegovo u kuæi Astarotinoj, a tijelo njegovo objesiše na zid Vet-sanski.
11 When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
A èuše stanovnici u Javisu Galadovu šta uèiniše Filisteji od Saula.
12 all their men of valor set out, journeyed all night, and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they arrived at Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.
I podigoše se svi ljudi hrabri, i išavši svu noæ skidoše tijelo Saulovo i tjelesa sinova njegovijeh sa zida Vet-sanskoga, pa se vratiše u Javis, i ondje ih spališe.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
I uzeše kosti njihove i pogreboše ih pod drvetom u Javisu, i postiše sedam dana.
