1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on 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 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua, 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 The battle grew fierce against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was wounded by the archers.
Pertempuran amat sengit di sekitar Saul, dan ia sendiri kena panah-panah musuh sehingga luka.
4 Then said Saul to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and torture me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on 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 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his 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 When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived 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 It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Besoknya ketika orang Filistin datang untuk merampoki mayat-mayat, mereka menemukan Saul dan ketiga orang putranya sudah tewas di pegunungan Gilboa.
9 They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to 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 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
Baju perang Saul itu disimpan di dalam sebuah kuil mereka, dan kepalanya digantung di dalam rumah Dagon, dewa mereka.
11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead 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 all the valiant men arose, 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 trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD, which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire thereby,
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 did not inquire of the LORD: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
