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.
Torej Filistejci so se borili zoper Izrael in Izraelci so pobegnili pred Filistejci in padli dol, umorjeni na gori Gilbói.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Filistejci so tesno sledili Savlu in njegovim sinovom in Filistejci so usmrtili Jonatana, Abinadába in Malkišúa, Savlove sinove.
3 When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him critically.
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 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.
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 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own 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, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day.
Tako so ta isti dan skupaj umrli Savel, njegovi trije sinovi, njegov nosilec bojne opreme in vsi njegovi možje.
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.
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 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on 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 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.
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 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
Njegovo bojno opremo so položili v hišo Astarte. Njegovo telo pa so pritrdili na obzidje Bet Šeána.
11 When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ko so prebivalci Jabéš Gileáda slišali o tem, kar so Filistejci storili Savlu,
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.
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 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
In vzeli so njihove kosti in jih pokopali pod drevesom pri Jabéšu in se postili sedem dni.
