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.
A tak potýkali se Filistinští s Izraelem. Muži pak Izraelští utíkali před Filistinskými a padli, zbiti jsouce na hoře Gelboe.
2 The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons, killing Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
I stihali Filistinští Saule a syny jeho, a zabili Filistinští Jonatu a Abinadaba a Melchisua, syny Saulovy.
3 The fighting became very intense around Saul, and the arrows of the Philistine archers found their target, wounding Saul very badly.
Když se pak zsilila bitva proti Saulovi, trefili na něj střelci, muži s luky; i postřelen jest velmi od těch střelců.
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.
I řekl Saul oděnci svému: Vytrhni meč svůj a probodni mne jím, aby přijdouce ti neobřezanci, neprobodli mne, a neučinili sobě ze mne posměchu. Ale nechtěl oděnec jeho, nebo se bál velmi. A pochytiv Saul meč, nalehl na něj.
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died with him.
Tedy vida oděnec jeho, že umřel Saul, nalehl i on na meč svůj a umřel s ním.
6 Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all the men with him, died the same day.
A tak umřel Saul a tři synové jeho, a oděnec jeho, ano i všickni muži jeho v ten den spolu.
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.
Když pak uzřeli synové Izraelští, kteříž bydlili za tím údolím, a kteříž bydlili za Jordánem, že zutíkali muži Izraelští, nadto že Saul i synové jeho zahynuli, opustivše města, také utíkali. I přišli Filistinští a bydlili v nich.
8 The next day, when the Philistines went to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.
A když bylo nazejtří, přišli Filistinští, aby zloupili pobité; i nalezli Saule a tři syny jeho ležící na hoře Gelboe.
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.
I sťali hlavu jeho a svlékli odění jeho, a poslali po zemi Filistinské vůkol, aby to ohlášeno bylo v chrámě modl jejich i lidu.
10 They placed his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and nailed his body to the town wall of Beth-shan.
I složili odění jeho v chrámě Astarot, tělo pak jeho přibili na zdi Betsan.
11 However, when the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Tedy uslyšavše o tom obyvatelé Jábes Galád, co učinili Filistinští Saulovi,
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.
Zdvihli se všickni muži silní, a jdouce celou noc, sňali tělo Saulovo i těla synů jeho se zdi Betsanské; a když se navrátili do Jábes, spálili je tam.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
A vzavše kosti jejich, pochovali je pod stromem v Jábes, a postili se sedm dní.
