Kings I 31
1 And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
Filistejci su zavojštili na Izraelce, a Izraelci su pobjegli pred njima i padali pobijeni po gori Gilboi.
2 And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
Filistejci stisnuše Šaula i njegove sinove i pogubiše Šaulove sinove Jonatana, Abinadaba i Malki-Šuu.
3 And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
Boj je postao žešći oko Šaula. Iznenadiše ga strijelci s lukovima i on pade teško ranjen od strijelaca.
4 And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw your sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
Šaul tada reče svome štitonoši: “Izvuci svoj mač i probodi me da ne dođu ti neobrezanici i ne narugaju mi se.” Ali se njegov štitonoša prestravi i ne htjede toga učiniti. Zato Šaul uze mač i baci se na nj.
5 And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
Kad je štitonoša vidio da je Šaul umro, baci se i on na svoj mač i umrije s njim.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, in that day together.
Tako onoga dana pogiboše zajedno Šaul, njegova tri sina, njegov štitonoša i svi njegovi ljudi.
7 And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
Kad Izraelci koji bijahu na drugoj strani doline i na drugoj strani Jordana vidješe da su sinovi Izraelovi pobjegli i da je poginuo Šaul sa sinovima, ostaviše svoje gradove te se razbježaše. Filistejci dođoše i nastaniše se u njima.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
Kad su sutradan došli Filistejci da oplijene pobijeđene, nađoše Šaula i njegova tri sina gdje leže na gori Gilboi.
9 And they turned him, and stripped off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
Oni mu odsjekoše glavu i skidoše s njega oružje, koje poslaše po svoj filistejskoj zemlji naokolo, javljajući veselu vijest svojim idolima i narodu.
10 And they set up his armour at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
Potom oružje metnuše u Aštartin hram, a Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo pribiše na zid grada Bet Šana.
11 And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
Ali kad oni u Jabešu Gileadskom čuše što su Filistejci učinili od Šaula,
12 And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
ustadoše svi hrabri ljudi i, pošto su hodili svu noć, uzeše Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo i tjelesa njegovih sinova sa zida grada Bet Šana pa ih donesoše u Jabeš i ondje spališe.
13 And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
Potom uzeše njihove kosti i ukopaše ih pod tamarisom u Jabešu i postiše sedam dana.
