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.
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 when the Philistines had drawn near, pursuing Saul and his sons, they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
Et les Philistins poursuivirent Saül et ses fils, et tuèrent Jonathan, Abinadab et Malkishua, 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 tomba sur Saül; les archers l'atteignirent, et il eut peur de ces 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 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 armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.
Alors celui qui portait ses armes, ayant vu que Saül était mort, se jeta, lui aussi, sur l'épée, et mourut.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.
Ainsi moururent 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.
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 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 étendus 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. Et ils envoyèrent dans le pays des Philistins, de tous côtés, pour annoncer 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 ses armes dans la maison de leur dieu, et attachèrent son crâne dans la maison de Dagon.
11 When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,
Mais tout Jabès de 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.
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 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;
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 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, et l'Éternel le fit mourir, et transféra la royauté à David, fils d'Isaï.
