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.
Filistejci su zavojštili na Izraelce. Izraelci su pobjegli pred njima i padali pobijeni po gori Gilboi.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Filistejci stisnuše Šaula i njegove sinove i pogubiše Šaulove sinove Jonatana, Abinadaba i Malki-Šuu.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
Boj je postao žešći oko Šaula. Iznenadiše ga strijelci s lukovima i on pade ranjen od strijelaca.
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].
Tada Šaul reče svome štitonoši: “Izvuci svoj mač i probodi me da ne dođu ti neobrezanci i ne narugaju mi se.” Ali se njegov štitonoša prestravi i ne htjede toga učiniti. Zato Šaul uze mač i baci se na nj.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Kad je štitonoša vidio da je Šaul umro, baci se i on na svoj mač i umrije s njim.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Tako onog dana pogiboše zajedno Šaul, njegova tri sina i sav njegov dom.
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.
Kad su svi Izraelci koji su bili u dolini vidjeli da su sinovi Izraelovi pobjegli i da je poginuo Šaul sa sinovima, ostavili su svoje gradove i razbježali se. Filistejci dođoše i nastaniše se u njima.
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.
Kad su sutradan došli Filistejci da oplijene pobijene, našli su Šaula s njegovim sinovima gdje leže mrtvi na gori Gilboi.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
Svukavši ga, uzeše mu glavu i oružje te poslaše po filistejskoj zemlji unaokolo javljajući veselu vijest svojim idolima i narodu.
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.
Potom su oružje metnuli u hram svoga boga, a lubanju mu izložili u Dagonovu hramu.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
Kad su čuli svi Jabeš-Gileađani što su Filistejci učinili od Šaula,
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.
ustali su svi hrabri ljudi i uzeli Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo i tjelesa njegovih sinova i, donijevši ih u Jabeš, pokopali su njihove kosti pod tamarisom u Jabešu; i postiše sedam dana.
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,
Tako je poginuo Šaul za svoju nevjeru kojom se iznevjerio Jahvi: nije držao Jahvine zapovijedi i povrh toga je pitao za savjet bajačicu,
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].
a nije pitao Jahvu; zato ga je ubio i prenio kraljevstvo na Jišajeva sina Davida.
