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.
Mientras tanto, los filisteos habían atacado a Israel, y el ejército israelita huyó de ellos, y muchos murieron en el monte Gilboa.
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.
Los filisteos persiguieron a Saúl y a sus hijos, y mataron a los hijos de Saúl: Jonatán, Abinadab y Malquisúa.
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.
La lucha se hizo muy intensa en torno a Saúl, y las flechas de los arqueros filisteos encontraron su objetivo, hiriendo gravemente a Saúl.
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.
Entonces Saúl le dijo a su escudero: “Toma tu espada y mátame, o estos hombres paganos vendrán a matarme y a torturarme”. Pero el escudero no quiso hacerlo porque tenía demasiado miedo. Entonces Saúl tomó su propia espada y cayó sobre ella.
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.
Cuando su escudero vio que Saúl estaba muerto, también cayó sobre su propia espada y murió con él.
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.
Saúl, sus tres hijos, su escudero y todos los hombres que estaban con él murieron el mismo día.
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.
Cuando los israelitas que vivían a lo largo del valle y los del otro lado del Jordán se dieron cuenta de que el ejército israelita había huido y de que Saúl y sus hijos habían muerto, abandonaron sus ciudades y también huyeron. Entonces llegaron los filisteos y se apoderaron de ellas.
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.
Al día siguiente, cuando los filisteos fueron a despojar a los muertos, encontraron a Saúl y a sus tres hijos tendidos en el monte Gilboa.
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.
Le cortaron la cabeza a Saúl, lo despojaron de su armadura y enviaron mensajeros por todo el país de los filisteos para que anunciaran la noticia en los templos de sus ídolos y a su pueblo.
10 And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
Entonces colocaron su armadura en el templo de Astoret y clavaron su cuerpo en el muro de la ciudad de Bet-San.
11 And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
Sin embargo, cuando el pueblo de Jabes de Galaad se enteró de lo que los filisteos le habían hecho a Saúl,
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.
todos sus fuertes guerreros se pusieron en marcha, viajaron toda la noche y descolgaron los cuerpos de Saúl y de sus hijos de la muralla de Bet-sán. Cuando volvieron a Jabes, quemaron allí los cuerpos.
13 And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
Luego tomaron sus huesos y los enterraron bajo el tamarisco en Jabes, y ayunaron durante siete días.
