1 Samuel 31
1 And [the] Philistines [were] fighting against Israel and they fled [the] men of Israel from before [the] Philistines and they fell slain on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
Imidlertid angreb Filisterne Israel; og Israels Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne laa rundt om paa Gilboas Bjerg.
2 And they pursued closely [the] Philistines Saul and sons his and they struck down [the] Philistines Jonathan and Abinadab and Malki-Shua [the] sons of Saul.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
3 And it was heavy the battle against Saul and they found him the archers men with the bow and he was in severe pain exceedingly from the archers.
Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
4 And he said Saul to [the] bearer of armor his draw out sword your - and pierce through me with it lest they should come the uncircumcised [men] these and they will pierce through me and they will deal wantonly with me and not he was willing [the] bearer of armor his for he was afraid exceedingly and he took Saul the sword and he fell on it.
Da sagde Saul til sin Vaabendrager: »Drag dit Sværd og gennembor mig, for at ikke disse uomskaarne skal komme og gennembore mig og mishandle mig!« Men Vaabendrageren vilde ikke, thi han gøs tilbage derfor. Da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig i det;
5 And he saw [the] bearer of armor his that he had died Saul and he fell also he on sword his and he died with him.
og da Vaabendrageren saa, at Saul var død, styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og fulgte ham i Døden.
6 And he died Saul and [the] three sons his and [the] bearer of armor his also all men his on the day that together.
Saaledes fulgtes denne Dag Saul, hans tre Sønner, hans Vaabendrager og alle hans Mænd i Døden.
7 And they saw [the] men of Israel who [were] on [the] other side of the valley and who - [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan that they had fled [the] men of Israel and that they had died Saul and sons his and they abandoned the cities and they fled and they came [the] Philistines and they dwelt in them.
Men da Israels Mænd i Byerne i Dalen og ved Jordan saa, at Israels Mænd var flygtet, og at Saul og hans Sønner var faldet, forlod de Byerne og flygtede, hvorpaa Filisterne kom og besatte dem.
8 And it was from [the] next day and they came [the] Philistines to strip the [ones] slain and they found Saul and [the] three sons his fallen on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans tre Sønner liggende paa Gilboas Bjerg;
9 And they cut off head his and they stripped off armor his and they sent in [the] land of [the] Philistines all around to bear [the] news [the] house of idols their and the people.
de huggede da Hovedet at ham, afførte ham hans Vaaben og sendte Bud rundt i Filisternes Land for at bringe deres Afguder og Folket Glædesbudet.
10 And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
Vaabnene lagde de i Astartes Tempel, men Kroppen hængte de op paa Bet-Sjans Mur.
11 And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
Men da Indbyggerne i Jabesj i Gilead hørte, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
12 And they arose every man of strength and they went all the night and they took [the] corpse of Saul and [the] corpses of sons his from [the] wall of Beth Shan and they went Jabesh towards and they burned them there.
brød alle vaabenføre Mænd op, og efter at have gaaet hele Natten igennem tog de Sauls og hans Sønners Kroppe ned fra Bet-Sjans Mur, bragte dem med til Jabesj og brændte dem der.
13 And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
Saa tog de deres Ben og jordede dem under Tamarisken i Jabesj og fastede syv Dage.
