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.
OR i Filistei combatterono contro ad Israele; e gl'Israeliti fuggirono d'innanzi a' Filistei, e caddero morti nel monte di Ghilboa.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Ed i Filistei perseguitarono di presso Saulle, e i suoi figliuoli; e percossero Gionatan, ed Abinadab, e Malchi-sua, figliuoli di Saulle.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
E lo sforzo della battaglia si voltò contro a Saulle, e gli arcieri lo scontrarono; ed egli ebbe gran paura degli arcieri.
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].
Allora Saulle disse al suo scudiere: Tira fuori la tua spada, e trafiggimi con essa, che talora questi incirconcisi non vengano, e mi scherniscano. Ma il suo scudiere non volle [farlo], perciocchè egli temeva forte. Laonde Saulle prese la spada, e si lasciò cadere sopra essa.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
E lo scudiere di Saulle, veggendo ch'egli era morto, si lasciò cadere anch'egli sopra la [sua] spada, e morì.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Così morì Saulle ed i suoi tre figliuoli, e tutta [la gente di] casa sua.
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.
E tutti gl'Israeliti, che [stavano] nella valle, veggendo che [gl'Israeliti] erano fuggiti, e che Saulle ed i suoi figliuoli erano morti, abbandonarono le lor città, e se ne fuggirono; ed i Filistei vennero, ed abitarono in esse.
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.
Or il giorno appresso, i Filistei vennero per ispogliar gli uccisi, e trovarono Saulle ed i suoi figliuoli che giacevano sopra il monte di Ghilboa.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
Ed essi lo spogliarono, e gli tolsero la testa e le armi; e mandarono nel paese de' Filistei d'ogn'intorno a portarne le novelle nei [tempii de]'loro idoli, ed al popolo;
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.
e posero le armi di Saulle nel tempio de' loro dii; ed appiccarono il suo teschio nel tempio di Dagon.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
Or tutti [que' di] Iabes di Galaad, avendo inteso tutto quello che i Filistei aveano fatto a Saulle,
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.
tutti gli uomini di valore [d'infra loro] si levarono, e tolsero via il corpo di Saulle, ed i corpi de' suoi figliuoli, e li portarono in Iabes, e seppellirono le loro ossa sotto la quercia in Iabes, e digiunarono sette giorni.
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,
Così morì Saulle per lo suo misfatto ch'egli avea commesso contro al Signore, non avendo osservata la parola del Signore; e anche, perchè avea ricercato lo spirito di Pitone, per domandarlo;
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].
e non avea domandato il Signore; perciò egli lo fece morire, e trasportò il reame a Davide, figliuolo d'Isai.
