1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel; and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.
[撒烏耳陣亡]那時，培肋舍特攻打以色列，以色列人由培肋舍特人面前逃走，在基耳波亞山陣亡的人很多。
2 And the Philistines went hard after Saul and his sons, and put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
培肋舍特人追擊撒烏耳和他的兒子，殺了撒烏耳的兒子約納堂、阿彼納達布和瑪耳基叔亞；
3 And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
戰爭就集中攻打撒烏耳，弓箭手發現了他，他遂為弓箭手所射傷。
4 Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, falling on it himself.
當時撒烏耳對自己的執戟者說：「拔出你的劍來，將我刺死，免得那些為受割損的人來凌辱我。」但是，執戟者十分害怕，不肯作這事；於是撒烏耳拔出劍來，伏劍自刎。
5 And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
執戟者見撒烏耳已死，也伏劍自刎。
6 So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end together.
這樣，撒烏耳和他的三個兒子，並他的全家一同陣亡了。
7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the men of Israel had gone in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they went in flight away from their towns; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.
所有住在平原的以色列人見軍隊逃散，撒烏耳和他的三個兒子陣亡了，也都棄城逃走；培肋舍特人遂來住在那裏。
8 Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in Mount Gilboa.
次日，培肋舍特人來剝去陣亡者的衣服時，發現撒烏耳和他的兒子橫臥在基耳波亞山上。
9 And they took everything off him, and took his head and his war-dress, and sent word into the land of the Philistines round about to give the news to their gods and to the people.
他們便剝去了他的衣服，取下他的首級和武器，送到培肋舍特地方，到處給他們的神和人民報喜信。
10 And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
以後，將撒烏耳的武器放在他們的神廟裏；將他的首級釘在達貢廟內。
11 And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
基肋阿得雅貝士的居民，一聽說培肋舍特人對撒烏耳所行的一切，
12 All the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for seven days.
所有的勇士便起身前去，收殮了撒烏耳和他兒子的屍體，帶回雅貝士，將他們的骨骸葬於雅貝士的篤耨香樹下，且禁食七天。
13 So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,
撒烏耳之死，是由於他背叛上主，沒有遵守上主的話，並且還求問過招魂的女巫，
14 And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
而沒有求其問上主；因此上主使他死亡，將王位移交給葉瑟的兒子達味。
