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.
Die Philister aber stritten unterdes mit Israel. Da flohen die Mannen Israels vor den Philistern. Und auf dem Gebirge des Gilboa lagen Erschlagene.
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.
Die Philister aber holten Saul und seine Söhne ein. Dabei schlugen die Philister die Söhne Sauls, Jonatan, Abinadab und Malkisua.
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.
So ward der Kampf für Saul immer schwerer. Da trafen ihn die Bogenschützen von ungefähr. Und er ward durch die Bogenschützen schwer verwundet.
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 sprach Saul zu seinem Waffenträger: "Zücke dein Schwert und erstich mich, daß nicht diese Unbeschnittenen kommen, mich erstechen und mit mir ihr Spiel treiben!" Aber sein Waffenträger wollte nicht; denn er scheute sich zu sehr. Da nahm Saul das Schwert und stürzte sich darein.
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.
Als aber sein Waffenträger sah, daß Saul tot war, stürzte auch er sich in sein Schwert und starb neben ihm.
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.
So starben Saul und seine drei Söhne und sein Waffenträger, samt allen seinen Mannen zugleich an jenem Tage.
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.
Als die Israeliten diesseits des Tales und des Jordan sahen, daß Israels Mannen geflohen und daß Saul und seine Söhne tot waren, verließen sie die Städte und flohen. Da kamen die Philister und siedelten darin.
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.
Am anderen Morgen kamen die Philister, um die Erschlagenen zu plündern. Da fanden sie Saul und seine drei Söhne auf dem Gebirge des Gilboa liegen.
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.
Sie schnitten ihm das Haupt ab, zogen ihm die Rüstung aus und sandten im Philisterlande umher, in ihren Götzentempeln und bei dem Volke den Sieg zu verkünden.
10 And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
Seine aber Waffen legten sie im Hause der Astarten nieder; seinen Leichnam aber hatten sie an die Mauer von Betsan genagelt.
11 And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
Die Bewohner von Jabes in Gilead aber hörten gleich darauf, was die Philister an Saul getan hatten.
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.
Da machten sich alle wehrhaften Mannen auf. Sie zogen die ganze Nacht hindurch und nahmen Sauls Leichnam und die Leichname seiner Söhne von der Mauer zu Betsan. So kamen sie wieder nach Jabes und verbrannten sie dort.
13 And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
Dann nahmen sie ihre Gebeine, begruben sie unter der Tamariske zu Jabes und fasteten sieben Tage.
