1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
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 followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, 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 went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
Pertempuran amat sengit di sekitar Saul, dan ia sendiri kena panah-panah musuh sehingga luka.
4 Then said Saul to his armour bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a 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 armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the 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 died together.
Maka meninggallah Saul bersama ketiga putranya, dan dengan itu berakhirlah juga dinastinya.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: 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 it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
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, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their 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 they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head 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 all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ketika penduduk Yabes di Gilead mendengar apa yang telah dilakukan oleh orang Filistin terhadap Saul,
12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and 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 transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;
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 enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
