1 Chronicles 10
1 The army of Philistia [again] fought against the Israelis. The Israeli soldiers ran away from them, and many Israelis were killed {the soldiers of Philistia killed many Israelis} on Gilboa Mountain.
А филистимците воюваха против Израиля; и Израилевите мъже побягнаха от филистимците, и паднаха убити в хълма Гелвуе.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
И в преследването филистимците настигнаха Саула и синовете му; и филистимците убиха Сауловите синове Ионатана, Авинадава и Мелхусия.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
И като се засилваше боят против Саула, стрелците го улучиха, и той биде наранен от стрелците.
4 Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to injure me [further] and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it [and died].
Тогава Саул каза на оръженосеца си: Изтегли меча си та ме прободи с него, да не би да дойдат тия необрязани и се поругаят с мене. Но оръженосецът му не искаше, защото много се боеше. За това Саул взе меча си та падна върху него.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
И оръженосецът му като видя, че Саул умря, падна и той на меча си та умря.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Така умря Саул и тримата му сина; и целият му дом умря едновременно.
7 When the Israelis who were living in the valley saw that their army had run away and that Saul and his three sons were dead, they left their towns and ran away. Then the soldiers from Philistia came and (occupied/lived in) those towns.
Тогава всичките Израилеви мъже, които бяха в долината, като видяха, че побягнаха, и че Саул и синовете му умряха, напуснаха градовете си и побягнаха; а филистимците дойдоха та се заселиха в тях.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the corpses of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
А на следния ден, когато филистимците дойдоха да съблекат убитите, намериха Саула и синовете му паднали на хълма Гелвуе.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
И като го съблякоха, взеха главата му и оръжията му, та ги разпратиха наоколо из филистимската земя за да разнесат известие на идолите си и на людете.
10 Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news throughout their own area, to their idols and to the other people. They put Saul’s armor in the temple where their idols were, and they hung Saul’s head in the temple of [their god] Dagon.
И положиха оръжията му в капището на боговете си, а главата му приковаха в Дагоновото капище.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
А когато чуха всичките жители на Явис-галаад все що направили филистимците на Саула,
12 So the bravest men/soldiers of Jabesh went and got the corpses of Saul and his sons and brought them back to Jabesh. They buried their bones under a large tree in Jabesh. Then the people of Jabesh (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
всичките храбри мъже станаха та дигнаха тялото на Саула и телата на синовете му, донесоха ги в Явис, и погребаха костите им под дъба на Явис; и постиха седем дена.
13 Saul died because he did not faithfully obey what Yahweh told him to do. He even went to a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people and asked her what he should do,
Така умря Саул за престъплението, което извърши против Господа, против Господното слово, което не опази, а още, понеже бе се съвещал със запитвачка на зли духове, за да се допита до тях,
14 instead of asking Yahweh what he should do. So Yahweh caused him to die, and he appointed David, the son of Jesse, to be the king [of Israel].
а до Господа не се допита, затова Той го умъртви, и обърна царството към Давида, Есеевия син.
