1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead on Mount Gilboa.
A Filisteji se pobiše s Izrailjcima, i pobjegoše Izrailjci ispred Filisteja, i padahu mrtvi na gori Gelvuji.
2 The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
I stigoše Filisteji Saula i sinove njegove; i pogubiše Filisteji Jonatana i Avinadava i Melhi-Suva, sinove Saulove.
3 The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him. He was in severe pain because of them.
I boj posta žešæi oko Saula, i naðoše ga strijelci, i on se vrlo uplaši od strijelaca.
4 Then Saul said 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.
I reèe Saul momku koji mu nošaše oružje: izvadi maè svoj i probodi me, da ne doðu ti neobrezani i probodu me i narugaju mi se. Ali ne htje momak što mu nošaše oružje, jer ga bješe vrlo strah. Tada Saul uze maè, i baci se na nj.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died with him.
A kad momak koji nošaše oružje vidje Saula mrtva, baci se i on na svoj maè i umrije s njim.
6 So Saul died, his three sons, and his armor bearer—these men all died together that same day.
Tako pogibe Saul i tri sina njegova i momak koji mu nošaše oružje i svi ljudi njegovi zajedno onoga dana.
7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.
A Izrailjci koji bijahu s ovu stranu potoka i s ovu stranu Jordana kad vidješe gdje Izrailjci pobjegoše i gdje pogibe Saul i njegovi sinovi, ostaviše gradove i pobjegoše, te doðoše Filisteji i ostaše u njima.
8 It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
A sjutradan doðoše Filisteji da svlaèe mrtve; i naðoše Saula i tri sina njegova gdje leže na gori Gelvuji.
9 They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent messengers into the land of the Philistines throughout to carry the news to their idols' temples and to the people.
I otsjekoše mu glavu, i skidoše oružje s njega, i poslaše u zemlju Filistejsku na sve strane da se objavi u kuæi njihovijeh lažnijeh bogova i po narodu.
10 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the city wall of Beth Shan.
I ostaviše oružje njegovo u kuæi Astarotinoj, a tijelo njegovo objesiše na zid Vet-sanski.
11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
A èuše stanovnici u Javisu Galadovu šta uèiniše Filisteji od Saula.
12 all the fighting men arose and went all night and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan. They went to Jabesh and burned them there.
I podigoše se svi ljudi hrabri, i išavši svu noæ skidoše tijelo Saulovo i tjelesa sinova njegovijeh sa zida Vet-sanskoga, pa se vratiše u Javis, i ondje ih spališe.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
I uzeše kosti njihove i pogreboše ih pod drvetom u Javisu, i postiše sedam dana.
