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.
Los filisteos hicieron guerra contra Israel; y huyeron los israelitas delante de los filisteos, y cayeron traspasados en el monte Gelboé.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Los filisteos persiguieron a Saúl y a sus hijos, y mataron a Jonatán, Abinadab y Melquisúa, hijos de Saúl.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
Entonces se concentró el combate sobre Saúl, pues lo descubrieron los flecheros; y tembló ante los flecheros.
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].
Por lo cual dijo Saúl a su escudero: “Desenvaina tu espada y traspásame con ella; no sea que vengan estos incircuncisos y hagan escarnio de mí.” Mas no quiso su escudero, porque tuvo gran temor. Entonces tomó Saúl su espada y se arrojó sobre ella.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Cuando su escudero vio que Saúl era muerto, se echó también él sobre su espada y murió.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Así murió Saúl con sus tres hijos; y toda su casa murió juntamente con él.
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.
Entonces todos los hombres de Israel que vivían en el valle, cuando vieron que (los suyos) habían huido y que habían muerto Saúl y sus hijos abandonaron sus ciudades entregándose a la fuga; y vinieron los filisteos para habitar en ellas.
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.
Cuando al día siguiente vinieron los filisteos para despojar a los muertos, hallaron a Saúl y a sus hijos tendidos en el monte Gelboé.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
Lo despojaron y se llevaron su cabeza y sus armas. Después hicieron publicar por mensajeros la buena nueva a sus ídolos y a su pueblo en todo el país de los filisteos.
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.
Depositaron las armas de Saúl en la casa de sus dioses y clavaron su cabeza en la casa de Dagón.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
Pero toda Jabés-Galaad al oír lo que los filisteos habían hecho con Saúl,
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.
todos los hombres valientes se levantaron, y quitando el cadáver de Saúl, y los cadáveres de sus hijos, los trasladaron a Jabés. Enterraron sus huesos debajo de una encina en Jabés, y ayunaron siete días.
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,
Saúl murió a causa de las transgresiones que había cometido contra Yahvé, porque no guardó la palabra de Yahvé, y también por haber interrogado y consultado un espíritu pitónico.
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].
en vez de consultar a Yahvé; por lo cual Este le hizo morir, y transfirió el reino a David, hijo de Isaí.
