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.
Or les Philistins combattirent contre Israël; et ceux d'Israël s'enfuirent devant les Philistins, et tombèrent morts sur la montagne de Guilboa.
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.
Et les Philistins poursuivirent Saül et ses fils, et tuèrent Jonathan, Abinadab et Malkishua, fils de Saül.
3 And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
L'effort du combat tomba sur Saül; les archers l'atteignirent, et il eut peur de ces archers.
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.
Alors Saül dit à celui qui portait ses armes: Tire ton épée et m'en transperce, de peur que ces incirconcis ne viennent, et ne me fassent des outrages. Mais celui qui portait ses armes ne voulut pas, car il était fort effrayé. Saül prit donc l'épée et se jeta dessus.
5 And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
Alors celui qui portait ses armes, ayant vu que Saül était mort, se jeta, lui aussi, sur l'épée, et mourut.
6 So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end together.
Ainsi moururent Saül et ses trois fils, et toute sa maison périt en même temps.
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.
Or tous ceux d'Israël qui étaient dans la vallée, ayant vu qu'on avait fui, et que Saül et ses fils étaient morts, abandonnèrent leurs villes et s'enfuirent. Et les Philistins vinrent et y demeurèrent.
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.
Le lendemain, les Philistins vinrent pour dépouiller les morts, et ils trouvèrent Saül et ses fils étendus sur la montagne de Guilboa.
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.
Ils le dépouillèrent, et emportèrent sa tête et ses armes. Et ils envoyèrent dans le pays des Philistins, de tous côtés, pour annoncer la nouvelle à leurs idoles et au peuple.
10 And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
Ils mirent ses armes dans la maison de leur dieu, et attachèrent son crâne dans la maison de Dagon.
11 And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Mais tout Jabès de Galaad apprit tout ce que les Philistins avaient fait à Saül;
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.
Et tous les hommes vaillants se levèrent et enlevèrent le corps de Saül, et les corps de ses fils, et les apportèrent à Jabès. Ils ensevelirent leurs os sous un térébinthe, à Jabès, et ils jeûnèrent sept jours.
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,
Ainsi mourut Saül, à cause de la faute qu'il avait commise contre l'Éternel, au sujet de la parole de l'Éternel qu'il n'avait point observée, et aussi parce qu'il interrogea et consulta ceux qui évoquent les esprits.
14 And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
Il ne consulta point l'Éternel, et l'Éternel le fit mourir, et transféra la royauté à David, fils d'Isaï.
