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 livrèrent bataille à Israël, et les hommes d’Israël prirent la fuite 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 tuèrent Jonathan, Abinadab et Malki-Schua, fils de Saül.
3 And the battle grew heavy against Saul. And the archers found him, and they wounded him with arrows.
L’effort du combat porta sur Saül; les archers l’atteignirent et le blessèrent.
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.
Saül dit alors à celui qui portait ses armes: Tire ton épée, et transperce-m’en, de peur que ces incirconcis ne viennent me faire subir leurs outrages. Celui qui portait ses armes ne voulut pas, car il était saisi de crainte. Et Saül prit son épée, et se jeta dessus.
5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.
Celui qui portait les armes de Saül, le voyant mort, se jeta aussi sur son épée, et mourut.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.
Ainsi périrent Saül et ses trois fils, et toute sa maison périt en même temps.
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.
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 pour prendre aussi la fuite. Et les Philistins allèrent s’y établir.
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, les Philistins vinrent pour dépouiller les morts, et ils trouvèrent Saül et ses fils tombés sur la montagne de Guilboa.
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, et emportèrent sa tête et ses armes. Puis ils firent annoncer ces bonnes nouvelles par tout le pays des Philistins 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 les armes de Saül dans la maison de leur dieu, et ils attachèrent son crâne dans le temple de Dagon.
11 When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,
Tout Jabès en Galaad ayant appris 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 hommes vaillants se levèrent, prirent le corps de Saül et ceux de ses fils, et les transportèrent à Jabès. Ils enterrèrent leurs os sous le térébinthe, à Jabès, et ils 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, parce qu’il se rendit coupable d’infidélité envers l’Éternel, dont il n’observa point la parole, et parce qu’il interrogea et consulta ceux qui évoquent les morts.
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.
Il ne consulta point l’Éternel; alors l’Éternel le fit mourir, et transféra la royauté à David, fils d’Isaï.
