< 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.
فلسطینی‌ها با اسرائیلی‌ها وارد جنگ شدند و آنها را شکست دادند. اسرائیلی‌ها فرار کردند و در دامنهٔ کوه جلبوع تلفات زیادی به جای گذاشتند.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
فلسطینی‌ها شائول و سه پسر او یوناتان، ابیناداب و ملکیشوع را محاصره کردند و هر سه را کشتند.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
عرصه بر شائول تنگ شد و تیراندازان فلسطینی دورش را گرفتند و او را مجروح کردند.
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].
شائول به محافظ خود گفت: «پیش از اینکه به دست این کافرها بیفتم و رسوا شوم، تو با شمشیر خودت مرا بکش!» ولی آن مرد ترسید این کار را بکند. پس شائول شمشیر خودش را گرفته، خود را بر آن انداخت و مرد.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
محافظ شائول چون او را مرده دید، او نیز خود را روی شمشیرش انداخت و مرد.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
شائول و سه پسر او با هم مردند و به این ترتیب خاندان سلطنتی شائول برافتاد.
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.
وقتی اسرائیلی‌های ساکن درهٔ یزرعیل شنیدند که سپاه اسرائیل شکست خورده و شائول و پسرانش کشته شده‌اند، شهرهای خود را ترک کردند و گریختند. آنگاه فلسطینی‌ها آمدند و در آن شهرها ساکن شدند.
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.
روز بعد که فلسطینی‌ها برای غارت کشته‌شدگان رفتند، جنازهٔ شائول و پسرانش را در کوه جلبوع پیدا کردند.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
آنها اسلحهٔ شائول را گرفتند و سر او را از تن جدا کرده، با خود بردند. سپس اسلحه و سر شائول را به سراسر فلسطین فرستادند تا خبر کشته شدن شائول را به بتها و مردم فلسطین برسانند.
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.
آنها اسلحهٔ شائول را در معبد خدایان خود گذاشتند و سرش را به دیوار معبد بت داجون آویختند.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
وقتی ساکنان یابیش جلعاد شنیدند که فلسطینی‌ها چه بلایی بر سر شائول آورده‌اند،
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.
مردان دلاور خود را فرستادند و ایشان جنازهٔ شائول و سه پسر او را به یابیش جلعاد آوردند و آنها را زیر درخت بلوط به خاک سپردند و یک هفته برای ایشان روزه گرفتند.
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,
مرگ شائول به سبب نافرمانی از خداوند و مشورت با احضارکنندهٔ ارواح بود.
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].
او از خداوند هدایت نخواست و خداوند هم او را نابود کرد و سلطنتش را به داوود پسر یَسا داد.
