1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.
培肋舍特人攻打以色列人，以色列人由培肋舍特面前逃走，在基耳波亞山上陣亡的人很多。
2 And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.
培肋舍特隨後追擊撒烏爾和他的兒子約納堂、阿彼納達和瑪耳基叔亞；
3 And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers.
以後，集中攻打撒烏耳，弓手射中了他，傷勢很重。
4 Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it.
當時撒烏耳對自己的執戟者說：「拔出你的劍來，將我刺死，免得那些未受割損的人來刺死我，侮辱我! 」但是執戟者非常害怕，不肯作這事。於是撒烏耳拔出劍來，伏劍自刎。
5 And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him.
執戟者見撒烏耳已死，也伏劍自刎，和他同死了。
6 So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.
這樣，撒烏耳和他的三個兒子，都在一天一同陣亡了。
7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.
住在平和住在約旦河那邊的以色列人，沝以色列人逃散了，撒烏耳和他的兒子們陣亡了，就都棄城逃走；培肋舍特人遂來住在那裏。
8 And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,
次日，培肋舍特前來剝取陣亡者的衣服時，發現撒烏耳和他的三個兒子也陣亡在基爾波亞山上。
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, and sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, and among the people.
他們就砍下撒烏耳的頭，取去他的武器，送到培肋舍特各地，向他們的神和人民傳報這喜信：
10 And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
把他的武器放在阿斯托勒特廟內，將他的屍首懸在貝特商城牆上。
11 When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,
基肋阿得雅士的居民，一聽說培肋舍特人對撒烏耳所行的一切，
12 Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there,
所有的勇士就動身，走了一夜，從貝特特商城牆上取下撒烏耳和他兒子們的屍體，帶回雅貝士，在那裏埋了。
13 And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
然後將他們的骨骸收斂起來，埋在雅貝士檉柳下，禁食七天。
