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 melawan orang Israel. Orang-orang Israel melarikan diri dari hadapan orang Filistin dan banyak yang mati terbunuh di pegunungan Gilboa.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed 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 The battle grew fierce against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was wounded by the archers.
Kemudian makin beratlah pertempuran itu bagi Saul; para pemanah menjumpainya dan melukainya.
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.
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 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.
Ketika pembawa senjatanya melihat, bahwa Saul telah mati, iapun menjatuhkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together.
Jadi Saul, ketiga anaknya dan segenap keluarganya sama-sama mati.
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 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 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.
Ketika keesokan harinya orang Filistin datang merampasi orang-orang yang mati terbunuh itu, didapati mereka Saul dan anak-anaknya tergelimpang 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 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 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
Kemudian mereka menaruh senjata-senjata Saul di kuil allah mereka, tetapi batu kepalanya dipakukan mereka di rumah Dagon.
11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ketika seluruh Yabesh-Gilead mendengar tentang segala yang telah dilakukan 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.
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 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah, which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire thereby,
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 did not inquire of Jehovah: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
dan tidak meminta petunjuk TUHAN. Sebab itu TUHAN membunuh dia dan menyerahkan jabatan raja itu kepada Daud bin Isai.
