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.
Филистимляне воевали с Израилем, и побежали Израильтяне от Филистимлян, и падали пораженные на горе Гелвуе.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
И погнались Филистимляне за Саулом и сыновьями его, и убили Филистимляне Ионафана и Авинадава и Мелхисуя, сыновей Сауловых.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
Сражение против Саула усилилось, и стрелки устремились на него, так что он изранен был стрелками.
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].
И сказал Саул оруженосцу своему: обнажи меч твой и заколи меня им, чтобы не пришли эти необрезанные и не надругались надо мною. Но оруженосец не решился, потому что очень испугался. Тогда Саул взял меч и пал на него.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Оруженосец его, увидев, что Саул умер, и сам пал на меч и умер.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
И умер Саул, и три сына его, и весь дом его вместе с ним умер.
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.
Когда увидели Израильтяне, которые были в долине, что все бегут и что Саул и сыновья его умерли, то оставили города свои и разбежались; а Филистимляне пришли и поселились в них.
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.
На другой день пришли Филистимляне обирать убитых, и нашли Саула и сыновей его, павших на горе Гелвуйской,
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
и раздели его, и сняли с него голову его и оружие его, и послали по земле Филистимской, чтобы возвестить о сем пред идолами их и пред народом.
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 положили оружие его в капище богов своих, и голову его воткнули в доме Дагона.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
И услышал весь Иавис Галаадский все, что сделали Филистимляне с Саулом.
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.
И поднялись все люди сильные, взяли тело Саулово и тела сыновей его, и принесли их в Иавис, и похоронили кости их под дубом в Иависе, и постились семь дней.
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,
Так умер Саул за свое беззаконие, которое он сделал пред Господом, за то, что не соблюл слова Господня и обратился к волшебнице с вопросом,
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 не взыскал Господа. За то Он и умертвил его, и передал царство Давиду, сыну Иессееву.
