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.
さてペリシテびとはイスラエルと戦った。イスラエルの人々はペリシテびとの前から逃げ、多くの者は傷ついてギルボア山にたおれた。
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.
ペリシテびとはサウルとその子らに攻め寄り、そしてペリシテびとはサウルの子ヨナタン、アビナダブ、およびマルキシュアを殺した。
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.
戦いは激しくサウルに迫り、弓を射る者どもがサウルを見つけて、彼を射たので、サウルは射る者たちにひどい傷を負わされた。
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.
そこでサウルはその武器を執る者に言った、「つるぎを抜き、それをもってわたしを刺せ。さもないと、これらの無割礼の者どもがきて、わたしを刺し、わたしをなぶり殺しにするであろう」。しかしその武器を執る者は、ひじょうに恐れて、それに応じなかったので、サウルは、つるぎを執って、その上に伏した。
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.
武器を執る者はサウルが死んだのを見て、自分もまたつるぎの上に伏して、彼と共に死んだ。
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.
こうしてサウルとその三人の子たち、およびサウルの武器を執る者、ならびにその従者たちは皆、この日共に死んだ。
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.
イスラエルの人々で、谷の向こう側、およびヨルダンの向こう側にいる者が、イスラエルの人々の逃げるのを見、またサウルとその子たちの死んだのを見て町々を捨てて逃げたので、ペリシテびとはきてその中に住んだ。
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.
あくる日、ペリシテびとは殺された者から、はぎ取るためにきたが、サウルとその三人の子たちがギルボア山にたおれているのを見つけた。
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.
彼らはサウルの首を切り、そのよろいをはぎ取り、ペリシテびとの全地に人をつかわして、この良い知らせを、その偶像と民とに伝えさせた。
10 And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
また彼らは、そのよろいをアシタロテの神殿に置き、彼のからだをベテシャンの城壁にくぎづけにした。
11 And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
ヤベシ・ギレアデの住民たちは、ペリシテびとがサウルにした事を聞いて、
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.
勇士たちはみな立ち、夜もすがら行って、サウルのからだと、その子たちのからだをベテシャンの城壁から取りおろし、ヤベシにきて、これをそこで焼き、
13 And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
その骨を取って、ヤベシのぎょりゅうの木の下に葬り、七日の間、断食した。
