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.
Los filisteos atacaron a Israel y todos los soldados israelitas huyeron de ellos. Muchos israelitas fueron abatidos en el monte Gilboa.
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.
Los filisteos persiguieron a Saúl y a sus hijos. Mataron a los hijos de Saúl: Jonatán, Abinadab y Malquisúa.
3 And the battle grew heavy against Saul. And the archers found him, and they wounded him with arrows.
La batalla se desató intensamente alrededor de Saúl. Luego los arqueros enemigos vieron dónde estaba y lo hirieron.
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.
Entonces Saúl le dijo a su escudero: “Saca tu espada y mátame antes de que estos paganos vengan a torturarme”. Pero su escudero se negó, pues tenía demasiado miedo de hacerlo. Así que Saúl tomó su propia espada y se hizo caer sobre ella.
5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.
Al ver que Saúl estaba muerto, su escudero también se cayó sobre su espada y murió.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.
Así que Saúl y tres de sus hijos murieron allí, junto con su línaje real.
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.
Cuando todos los israelitas del valle vieron que su ejército había huido y que Saúl y sus hijos habían muerto, abandonaron sus ciudades y también huyeron. Entonces los filisteos llegaron y las ocuparon.
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.
Al día siguiente, cuando los filisteos fueron a despojar a los muertos, descubrieron los cuerpos de Saúl y de sus hijos en el monte 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.
Lo desnudaron, le cortaron la cabeza y se llevaron su armadura. Luego enviaron la noticia a toda la tierra de Filistea, a sus ídolos y a su pueblo.
10 But his armor they consecrated in the shrine of their god, and his head they affixed in the temple of Dagon.
Pusieron la armadura de Saúl en el templo de sus ídolos y fijaron su cabeza en el templo de Dagón.
11 When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,
Sin embargo, cuando todos en Jabes de Galaad se enteraron de todo lo que los filisteos habían hecho con Saúl,
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.
todos sus combatientes fueron a recuperar los cuerpos de Saúl y de sus hijos. Entonces los trajeron de vuelta y los enterraron bajo el gran árbol de Jabes. Luego ayunaron durante siete días.
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;
Saúl murió porque le fue infiel al Señor. No cumplió los mandatos del Señor, y además fue a consultar a una médium.
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.
No consultó al Señor, así que el Señor le dio muerte y le entregó el reinado a David, hijo de Isaí.
