1 Samuel 31
1 Meanwhile the Philistines had attacked Israel, and the Israelite army ran away from them, and many were killed on Mount Gilboa.
非利士人与以色列人争战。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被杀仆倒的。
2 The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons, killing Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们，就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单、亚比拿达、麦基舒亚。
3 The fighting became very intense around Saul, and the arrows of the Philistine archers found their target, wounding Saul very badly.
势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Take your sword and kill me, or these heathen men will come and kill and torture me!” But the armor-bearer didn't want to do it because he was too afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
就吩咐拿他兵器的人说：“你拔出刀来，将我刺死，免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我，凌辱我。”但拿兵器的人甚惧怕，不肯刺他；扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了。
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died with him.
拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
6 Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all the men with him, died the same day.
这样，扫罗和他三个儿子，与拿他兵器的人，以及跟随他的人，都一同死亡。
7 When the Israelites who lived along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan realized that the Israelite army had run away, and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and they also ran away. So the Philistines came and took them over.
住平原那边并约旦河西的以色列人，见以色列军兵逃跑，扫罗和他儿子都死了，也就弃城逃跑。非利士人便来住在其中。
8 The next day, when the Philistines went to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.
次日，非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服，看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山，
9 They cut off Saul's head, stripped him of his armor, and sent messengers throughout the country of the Philistines to announce the news in the temples of their idols and to their people.
就割下他的首级，剥了他的军装，打发人到非利士地的四境，报信与他们庙里的偶像和众民；
10 They placed his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and nailed his body to the town wall of Beth-shan.
又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯·珊的城墙上。
11 However, when the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
基列·雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，
12 all their strong warriors set out, traveled all night, and took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they got back to Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.
他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯·珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了；
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下，就禁食七日。
