1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
А Филистеји се побише с Израиљцима, и побегоше Израиљци испред Филистеја, и падаху мртви на гори Гелвуји.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
И стигоше Филистеји Саула и синове његове; и погубише Филистеји Јонатана и Авинадава и Мелхи-Сува, синове Саулове.
3 And the battle was severe against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was severely wounded by the archers.
И бој поста жешћи око Саула, и нађоше га стрелци, и он се врло уплаши од стрелаца.
4 Then said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
И рече Саул момку који му ношаше оружје: Извади мач свој и прободи ме, да не дођу ти необрезани и прободу ме и наругају ми се. Али не хте момак што му ношаше оружје, јер га беше врло страх. Тада Саул узе мач, и баци се на њ.
5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
А кад момак који ношаше оружје виде Саула мртвог, баци се и он на свој мач и умре с њим.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Тако погибе Саул и три сина његовог и момак који му ношаше оружје и сви људи његови заједно, оног дана.
7 And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
А Израиљци који беху с ове стране потока и с ову страну Јордана кад видеше где Израиљци побегоше и где погибе Саул и његови синови, оставише градове и побегоше, те дођоше Филистеји и осташе у њима.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
А сутрадан дођоше Филистеји да свлаче мртве; и нађоше Саула и три сина његовог где леже на гори Гелвуји.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.
И одсекоше му главу, и скидоше оружје с њега, и послаше у земљу филистејску на све стране да се објави у кући његових лажних богова и по народу.
10 And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
И оставише оружје његово у кући Астаротиној, а тело његово обесише на зид вет-сански.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
А чуше становници у Јавису Галадовом шта учинише Филистеји од Саула.
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
И подигоше се сви људи храбри, и ишавши сву ноћ скидоше тело Саулово и телеса синова његових са зида вет-санског, па се вратише у Јавис, и онде их спалише.
13 And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
И узеше кости њихове и погребоше их под дрветом у Јавису, и постише седам дана.
