1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel. Every man of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead on Mount Gilboa.
Filisterne angreb Israel; og Israeals Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne lå rundt om på Gilboas Bjerg.
2 The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his son. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
3 The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him, and they wounded him.
Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
4 Then said Saul to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it. Otherwise, these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
Da sagde Saul til sin Våbendrager: "Drag dit Sværd og gennembor mig, for at ikke disse uomskårne skal komme og mishandle mig!" Men Våbendrageren vilde ikke, thi han gøs tilbage derfor. Da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig i det,
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
og da Våbendrageren så, at Saul var død, styrtede også han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, so all his household members died together.
Således fulgtes Saul, hans tre Sønner og hele hans Slægt i Døden.
7 When every man of Israel in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and lived in them.
Men da alle Israeliteme i Dalen så, at Israels Mænd var flygtet, og at Saul og hans Sønner var faldet, forlod de deres Byer og flygtede, hvorpå Filisterne kom og besatte dem.
8 It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans Sønner liggende på Gilboas Bjerg.
9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor. They sent messengers throughout Philistia to carry the news to their idols and to the people.
De plyndrede ham da og tog hans hoved og Våben med sig og sendte Bud rundt iilisternes Land for at bringe deres Afguder og Folket Glædesbudet.
10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods, and fastened his head to the temple of Dagon.
Våbnene lagde dei deres Guds Hus, men Hovedskallen hængte de op i Dagons Hus.
11 When all Jabesh Gilead heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Men da alle de, som boede i Gilead, hørte alt, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
12 all the fighting men went and took away the body of Saul and those of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
brød alle våbenføre Mænd op, og de tog Sauls og hans Sønners Lig ned, bragte dem med til Jabesj og jordede deres Ben under Terebinten i Jabesj og fastede syv Dage.
13 So Saul died because he was unfaithful to Yahweh. He did not obey Yahweh's instructions, but asked for advice from someone who talked with the dead.
Således døde Saul for den Utroskabs Skyld, han havde vist HERREN, fordi han ikke havde givet Agt på HERRENs Ord, også fordi han havde adspurgt en Ånd for at få et Råd
14 He did not seek guidance from Yahweh, so Yahweh killed him and turned over the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
og ikke søgt; Råd hos HERREN. Derfor lod han ham dø, og Kongemagten lod han gå over til David, Isajs Søn.
