1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
Orang Filistin berperang dengan orang Israel. Mereka bertempur di pegunungan Gilboa. Banyak orang Israel tewas di situ, dan sisanya termasuk Raja Saul dan putra-putranya melarikan diri.
2 And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
Tetapi mereka disusul oleh orang Filistin dan tiga orang di antara putra-putra Saul dibunuh, yaitu Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua.
3 And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
Pertempuran amat sengit di sekitar Saul, dan ia sendiri kena panah-panah musuh sehingga luka.
4 And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
Maka kata Saul kepada pemuda yang membawa senjatanya, "Cabutlah pedangmu dan tikamlah aku supaya jangan aku dipermainkan oleh orang Filistin yang tak mengenal TUHAN itu." Tetapi pemuda itu tidak mau menikam Saul karena ia sangat takut. Sebab itu Saul mengambil pedangnya sendiri dan merebahkan dirinya ke atas pedang itu.
5 And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
Ketika pemuda itu melihat bahwa Saul sudah mati, ia pun merebahkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
Maka meninggallah Saul bersama ketiga putranya, dan dengan itu berakhirlah juga dinastinya.
7 And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.
Ketika semua orang Israel yang tinggal di lembah Yizreel mendengar bahwa tentara Israel telah melarikan diri, dan bahwa Saul serta putra-putranya sudah tewas, mereka lari meninggalkan kota-kota mereka. Lalu orang Filistin menduduki kota-kota itu.
8 And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
Besoknya ketika orang Filistin datang untuk merampoki mayat-mayat, mereka menemukan Saul dan ketiga orang putranya sudah tewas di pegunungan Gilboa.
9 And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
Mereka melepaskan baju perang Saul, dan memenggal kepalanya, lalu membawanya pergi. Kemudian mereka mengirim utusan ke seluruh negeri Filistin untuk menyampaikan kabar baik itu kepada bangsa dan dewa mereka.
10 And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
Baju perang Saul itu disimpan di dalam sebuah kuil mereka, dan kepalanya digantung di dalam rumah Dagon, dewa mereka.
11 And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ketika penduduk Yabes di Gilead mendengar apa yang telah dilakukan oleh orang Filistin terhadap Saul,
12 All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
orang-orang yang paling berani di antara mereka pergi mengambil jenazah Saul dan putra-putranya, lalu membawanya ke Yabes. Mereka menguburkan dia di bawah sebuah pohon besar, kemudian mereka berpuasa tujuh hari lamanya.
13 So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
Saul meninggal karena ia tidak setia kepada TUHAN, dan tidak mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya. Ia tidak minta petunjuk dari TUHAN, melainkan dari roh-roh orang mati. Karena itu TUHAN menghukum dia dan menyerahkan takhtanya kepada Daud anak Isai.
14 And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
