1 Chronicles 10
1 And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in Mount Gilboa,
Filisterne angreb Israel; og Israeals Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne lå rundt om på Gilboas Bjerg.
2 and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
3 And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
4 and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come and have abused me.” And the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he fears exceedingly, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it;
Da sagde Saul til sin Våbendrager: "Drag dit Sværd og gennembor mig, for at ikke disse uomskårne skal komme og mishandle mig!" Men Våbendrageren vilde ikke, thi han gøs tilbage derfor. Da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig i det,
5 and the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and falls, he also, on the sword, and dies;
og da Våbendrageren så, at Saul var død, styrtede også han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
6 and Saul dies, and his three sons, and all his house—they died together.
Således fulgtes Saul, hans tre Sønner og hele hans Slægt i Døden.
7 And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
Men da alle Israeliteme i Dalen så, at Israels Mænd var flygtet, og at Saul og hans Sønner var faldet, forlod de deres Byer og flygtede, hvorpå Filisterne kom og besatte dem.
8 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa,
Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans Sønner liggende på Gilboas Bjerg.
9 and strip him, and carry away his head and his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people;
De plyndrede ham da og tog hans hoved og Våben med sig og sendte Bud rundt iilisternes Land for at bringe deres Afguder og Folket Glædesbudet.
10 and they put his weapons in the house of their gods, and have fixed his skull in the house of Dagon.
Våbnene lagde dei deres Guds Hus, men Hovedskallen hængte de op i Dagons Hus.
11 And all Jabesh-Gilead hears of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
Men da alle de, som boede i Gilead, hørte alt, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
12 and all the men of valor rise and carry away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
brød alle våbenføre Mænd op, og de tog Sauls og hans Sønners Lig ned, bragte dem med til Jabesj og jordede deres Ben under Terebinten i Jabesj og fastede syv Dage.
13 And Saul dies because of his trespass that he trespassed against YHWH, against the word of YHWH that he did not keep, and also for asking to inquire of a familiar spirit;
Således døde Saul for den Utroskabs Skyld, han havde vist HERREN, fordi han ikke havde givet Agt på HERRENs Ord, også fordi han havde adspurgt en Ånd for at få et Råd
14 and he did not inquire of YHWH, and He puts him to death, and turns around the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
og ikke søgt; Råd hos HERREN. Derfor lod han ham dø, og Kongemagten lod han gå over til David, Isajs Søn.
