1 Samuel 31
1 And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall 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 Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
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 the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him—men with bow—and he is greatly pained by the archers;
以後，集中攻打撒烏耳，弓手射中了他，傷勢很重。
4 and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come—these uncircumcised—and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me”; and the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on 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 the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and he falls—he also—on his sword, and dies with him;
執戟者見撒烏耳已死，也伏劍自刎，和他同死了。
6 and Saul dies, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, together on that day.
這樣，撒烏耳和他的三個兒子，都在一天一同陣亡了。
7 And they see—the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan—that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell 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 it comes to pass on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on 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 strip off his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines, to proclaim tidings [in] the house of their idols, 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 place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and they have fixed 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 And they hear regarding it—the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead—that which the Philistines have 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 and all the men of valor arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come to Jabesh, and burn 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 they take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
然後將他們的骨骸收斂起來，埋在雅貝士檉柳下，禁食七天。
