1 Or les Philistins étaient en guerre avec Israël, et les hommes d'Israël fuirent devant les Philistins, et il tomba des morts sur la montagne de Gilboa.
And [the] Philistines [were] fighting against Israel and they fled [the] men of Israel from before [the] Philistines and they fell slain on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
2 Et les Philistins s'acharnèrent à la poursuite de Saül et de ses fils, et tuèrent Jonathan et Abinadab et Malchisua, fils de Saül.
And they pursued closely [the] Philistines Saul and sons his and they struck down [the] Philistines Jonathan and Abinadab and Malki-Shua [the] sons of Saul.
3 Et le faix de la bataille tombait sur Saül qui, se trouvant à la portée des tireurs, hommes armés de l'arc, fut blessé grièvement par eux.
And it was heavy the battle against Saul and they found him the archers men with the bow and he was in severe pain exceedingly from the archers.
4 Alors Saül dit à son écuyer: Tire ton épée et m'en perce de peur que ces incirconcis ne surviennent et ne me percent et ne s'assouvissent sur moi. Mais son écuyer ne voulut pas, car il avait grande crainte. Alors Saül prit l'épée et se jeta dessus.
And he said Saul to [the] bearer of armor his draw out sword your - and pierce through me with it lest they should come the uncircumcised [men] these and they will pierce through me and they will deal wantonly with me and not he was willing [the] bearer of armor his for he was afraid exceedingly and he took Saul the sword and he fell on it.
5 Et l'écuyer voyant Saül mort se jeta aussi sur son épée et mourut avec lui.
And he saw [the] bearer of armor his that he had died Saul and he fell also he on sword his and he died with him.
6 Ainsi périrent Saül et ses trois fils et son écuyer, de même que tous ces hommes en cette journée simultanément.
And he died Saul and [the] three sons his and [the] bearer of armor his also all men his on the day that together.
7 Et lorsque les Israélites de ce côté de la plaine et de ce côté du Jourdain virent que les hommes d'Israël étaient en fuite, et que Saül et ses fils étaient morts, ils désertèrent les villes et s'enfuirent, et les Philistins y entrèrent et s'y établirent.
And they saw [the] men of Israel who [were] on [the] other side of the valley and who - [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan that they had fled [the] men of Israel and that they had died Saul and sons his and they abandoned the cities and they fled and they came [the] Philistines and they dwelt in them.
8 Et le lendemain les Philistins vinrent pour dépouiller les morts, et trouvèrent Saül et ses trois fils tombés sur la montagne de Gilboa…
And it was from [the] next day and they came [the] Philistines to strip the [ones] slain and they found Saul and [the] three sons his fallen on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
9 Et ils lui coupèrent la tête et le dépouillèrent de son armure, et ils firent porter au pays des Philistins de toutes parts la bonne nouvelle dans les temples de leurs idoles et au peuple.
And they cut off head his and they stripped off armor his and they sent in [the] land of [the] Philistines all around to bear [the] news [the] house of idols their and the people.
10 Et ils placèrent son armure dans le temple d'Astarté, et fixèrent son cadavre aux murs de Bethsan.
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
11 Et les habitants de Jabès en Galaad furent renseignés quant à Saül et à la manière dont les Philistins l'avaient traité;
And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
12 aussitôt tous les braves se mirent en mouvement, et ils marchèrent toute la nuit et ils enlevèrent le cadavre de Saül et les cadavres de ses fils de la muraille de Bethsan, puis regagnèrent Jabès où ils les brûlèrent.
And they arose every man of strength and they went all the night and they took [the] corpse of Saul and [the] corpses of sons his from [the] wall of Beth Shan and they went Jabesh towards and they burned them there.
13 Et ils prirent leurs ossements et les inhumèrent sous le Tamarin de Jabès et ils jeûnèrent sept jours.
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
