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.
De Philisteer stridde emot Israel, och de af Israel flydde för de Philisteer, och de slagne föllo på Gilboa berg.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Och de Philisteer gåfvo sig hardt in på Saul och hans söner, och slogo Jonathan, AbiNadab och MalchiSua, Sauls söner.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
Och striden vardt skarp emot Saul; och de bågaskyttar kommo inpå honom, så att han blef sår af skyttorna.
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].
Då sade Saul till sin vapnedragare: Drag ditt svärd ut, och stick mig igenom dermed, att desse oomskorne icke komma och fara skamliga med mig. Men hans vapnedragare ville icke; ty han fruktade sig svårliga. Då tog Saul sitt svärd, och föll deruppå.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Som nu hans vapnedragare såg, att Saul var död, föll han ock på svärdet, och blef död.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Alltså blef Saul död, och hans tre söner, och hans hela hus tillika.
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.
Då nu de män af Israel, som i dalenom voro, sågo att de voro flydde, och att Saul och hans söner voro döde, öfvergåfvo de sina städer, och flydde; och de Philisteer kommo, och bodde deruti.
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.
Den andra morgonen kommo de Philisteer till att afkläda de slagna, och funno Saul och hans söner liggande på Gilboa berg;
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
Och klädde honom af, och togo hans hufvud och hans vapen, och sände uti de Philisteers land allt omkring, och läto förkunnat för deras afgudar och folkena;
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.
Och lade hans vapen i deras guds hus; och hans hufvud slogo de på Dagons hus.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
Då nu alle de i Jabes i Gilead hörde allt det de Philisteer Saul gjort hade,
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.
Reste de upp alle stridsamme män, och togo Sauls lekamen, och hans söners, och förde dem till Jabes, och begrofvo deras ben under den eken i Jabes; och fastade i sju dagar.
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,
Alltså blef Saul död i sine missgerning, som han emot Herran gjort hade, emot Herrans ord, det han icke höll; också derföre, att han frågade spåqvinnona,
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].
Och icke frågade Herran; derföre drap han honom, och vände riket till David, Isai son.
