1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from the Philistines, and they fell down wounded on mount Gilboa.
Les Philistins firent la guerre à Israël; les hommes d'Israël s'enfuirent devant les Philistins, et tombèrent morts sur la montagne de Guilboa.
2 And when the Philistines had drawn near, pursuing Saul and his sons, they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Les Philistins poursuivirent Saül et ses fils, et ils tuèrent Jonathan, Abinadab et Malkischua, fils de Saül.
3 And the battle grew heavy against Saul. And the archers found him, and they wounded him with arrows.
La bataille s'acharna sur Saül, et les archers l'atteignirent; il fut troublé par les archers.
4 And Saul said to his armor bearer: “Unsheathe your sword and kill me. Otherwise, these uncircumcised men may arrive and mock me.” But his armor bearer was not willing, having been struck with fear. And so, Saul took hold of his sword, and he fell upon it.
Alors Saül dit à celui qui portait son armure: « Tire ton épée, et transperce-moi avec, de peur que ces incirconcis ne viennent me maltraiter. » Mais son porteur d'armure ne voulait pas, car il était terrifié. Alors Saül prit son épée et s'y jeta.
5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.
Lorsque le porteur de la cuirasse vit que Saül était mort, il tomba aussi sur son épée et mourut.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.
Saül mourut avec ses trois fils, et toute sa maison mourut ensemble.
7 And when the men of Israel who were living in the plains had seen this, they fled. And since Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and were dispersed, here and there. And the Philistines arrived and lived among them.
Lorsque tous les hommes d'Israël qui étaient dans la vallée virent qu'ils s'enfuyaient et que Saül et ses fils étaient morts, ils abandonnèrent leurs villes et s'enfuirent, et les Philistins vinrent s'y installer.
8 Then, on the next day, when the Philistines were taking away the spoils of the slain, they found Saul and his sons, lying on mount Gilboa.
Le lendemain, lorsque les Philistins vinrent dépouiller les morts, ils trouvèrent Saül et ses fils tombés sur la montagne de Gilboa.
9 And when they had despoiled him, and had cut off his head, and had stripped his armor, they sent these things into their land, so that they would be carried around and displayed in the temples of the idols and to the people.
Ils le dépouillèrent, prirent sa tête et son armure, puis envoyèrent dans le pays des Philistins tout autour porter la nouvelle à leurs idoles et au peuple.
10 But his armor they consecrated in the shrine of their god, and his head they affixed in the temple of Dagon.
Ils mirent son armure dans la maison de leurs dieux, et fixèrent sa tête dans la maison de Dagon.
11 When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,
Lorsque tout Jabesh Galaad apprit tout ce que les Philistins avaient fait à Saül,
12 each one of the valiant men rose up, and they took the bodies of Saul and of his sons. And they brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
tous les vaillants hommes se levèrent et emportèrent le corps de Saül et les corps de ses fils, les transportèrent à Jabesh, enterrèrent leurs os sous le chêne à Jabesh et jeûnèrent sept jours.
13 Thus did Saul die for his iniquities, because he betrayed the commandment of the Lord which he had instructed, and did not keep it. And moreover, he even consulted a woman diviner;
Saül mourut donc à cause de la faute qu'il avait commise contre l'Éternel, à cause de la parole de l'Éternel qu'il n'avait pas observée, et aussi parce qu'il avait demandé conseil à un esprit familier pour s'informer,
14 for he did not trust in the Lord. Because of this, he caused his death, and he transferred his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
et qu'il n'avait pas consulté l'Éternel. Il le fit donc mourir, et remit le royaume à David, fils de Jessé.
