< 1 Samuel 31 >
1 NOW the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
Torej Filistejci so se borili zoper Izrael in Izraelci so pobegnili pred Filistejci in padli dol, umorjeni na gori Gilbói.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul’s sons.
Filistejci so tesno sledili Savlu in njegovim sinovom in Filistejci so usmrtili Jonatana, Abinadába in Malkišúa, Savlove sinove.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
Bitka je postala huda zoper Savla in lokostrelci so ga zadeli; in bil je hudo ranjen od lokostrelcev.
4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme: »Izvleci svoj meč in me prebodi z njim; da ne bi prišli ti neobrezanci in me prebodli in me zlorabili.« Vendar njegov nosilec bojne opreme ni hotel, kajti bil je hudo prestrašen. Zato je Savel vzel meč in padel nanj.
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
Ko je njegov nosilec bojne opreme videl, da je bil Savel mrtev, je tudi sam prav tako padel na svoj meč in umrl z njim.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Tako so ta isti dan skupaj umrli Savel, njegovi trije sinovi, njegov nosilec bojne opreme in vsi njegovi možje.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Ko so Izraelovi možje, ki so bili na drugi strani doline in tisti, ki so bili na drugi strani Jordana, videli, da so Izraelovi možje pobegnili in da so bili Savel in njegovi sinovi mrtvi, so zapustili mesta in pobegnili in Filistejci so prišli ter prebivali v njih.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, ko so prišli Filistejci, da oropajo umorjene, da so našli Savla in njegove tri sinove padle na gori Gilbói.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
Odsekali so njegovo glavo, slekli njegovo bojno opremo in poslali naokoli, v deželo Filistejcev, da to razglasijo v hiši njihovih malikov in med ljudstvom.
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
Njegovo bojno opremo so položili v hišo Astarte. Njegovo telo pa so pritrdili na obzidje Bet Šeána.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
Ko so prebivalci Jabéš Gileáda slišali o tem, kar so Filistejci storili Savlu,
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
so se vsi hrabri možje vzdignili in hodili vso noč in vzeli Savlovo telo in telesa njegovih sinov z obzidja Bet Šeána in prišli v Jabéš ter jih tam sežgali.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
In vzeli so njihove kosti in jih pokopali pod drevesom pri Jabéšu in se postili sedem dni.
