1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
Orang Filistin berperang melawan orang Israel. Orang-orang Israel melarikan diri dari hadapan orang Filistin dan banyak yang mati terbunuh di pegunungan Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines pursuing them overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
Orang Filistin terus mengejar Saul dan anak-anaknya dan menewaskan Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua, anak-anak Saul.
3 And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
Kemudian makin beratlah pertempuran itu bagi Saul; para pemanah menjumpainya dan melukainya.
4 And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid: wherefore Saul took the sword and fell upon it.
Lalu berkatalah Saul kepada pembawa senjatanya: "Hunuslah pedangmu dan tikamlah aku, supaya jangan datang orang-orang yang tidak bersunat ini memperlakukan aku sebagai permainan." Tetapi pembawa senjatanya tidak mau, karena ia sangat segan. Kemudian Saul mengambil pedang itu dan menjatuhkan dirinya ke atasnya.
5 And when the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise on the sword, and died.
Ketika pembawa senjatanya melihat, bahwa Saul telah mati, iapun menjatuhkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati.
6 Thus died Saul and his three sons; and all his household died together.
Jadi Saul, ketiga anaknya dan segenap keluarganya sama-sama mati.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead: they forsook their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Ketika dilihat seluruh orang Israel yang di lembah, bahwa tentara telah melarikan diri, dan bahwa Saul serta anak-anaknya sudah mati, maka mereka meninggalkan kota-kota mereka lalu melarikan diri juga; kemudian datanglah orang Filistin dan menetap di sana.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.
Ketika keesokan harinya orang Filistin datang merampasi orang-orang yang mati terbunuh itu, didapati mereka Saul dan anak-anaknya tergelimpang di pegunungan Gilboa.
9 And they stripped him, and they carried away his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
Mereka merampasinya dan mengambil kepala Saul dan senjata-senjatanya, lalu menyuruh orang berkeliling di negeri orang Filistin untuk menyampaikan kabar itu kepada berhala-berhala mereka dan kepada rakyat.
10 And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and his skull they fastened in the temple of Dagon.
Kemudian mereka menaruh senjata-senjata Saul di kuil allah mereka, tetapi batu kepalanya dipakukan mereka di rumah Dagon.
11 And when all Yabesh-gil'ad heard all the Philistines had done to Saul:
Ketika seluruh Yabesh-Gilead mendengar tentang segala yang telah dilakukan orang Filistin terhadap Saul,
12 Then arose all the valiant men, and carried away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh; and they buried their bones under the terebinth in Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
maka bersiaplah segenap orang gagah perkasa, lalu pergi mengambil mayat Saul dan mayat anak-anaknya. Mereka membawanya ke Yabesh dan menguburkan tulang-tulang mereka di bawah pohon besar, di Yabesh. Sesudah itu berpuasalah mereka tujuh hari lamanya.
13 And [so] died Saul for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he had not kept, and also for asking one of a familiar spirit to inquire of the same;
Demikianlah Saul mati karena perbuatannya yang tidak setia terhadap TUHAN, oleh karena ia tidak berpegang pada firman TUHAN, dan juga karena ia telah meminta petunjuk dari arwah,
14 And had not inquired of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned over the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
dan tidak meminta petunjuk TUHAN. Sebab itu TUHAN membunuh dia dan menyerahkan jabatan raja itu kepada Daud bin Isai.
