1 Samuel 31
1 Cependant les Philistins combattaient contre Israël; et les hommes d’Israël s’enfuirent devant les Philistins, et tombèrent morts sur la montagne de Gelboé.
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 fondirent sur Saül et ses fils, et tuèrent Jonathas, Abinadab et Melchisua, 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 tout le poids de la bataille tomba sur Saül; et les archers le poursuivirent, et il fut grièvement blessé par les archers.
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 glaive et frappe-moi, de peur que ces incirconcis ne viennent, et ne me tuent, en se jouant de moi. Et son écuyer ne voulut pas; car il avait été épouvanté d’une trop grande terreur; c’est pourquoi Saül saisit son glaive 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 Ce qu’ayant vu son écuyer, c’est-à-dire que Saül était mort, il se jeta lui 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 Saül mourut donc, en même temps que ses trois fils, son écuyer, et tous ses hommes, en ce jour-là.
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 Or, les hommes d’Israël qui étaient au-delà de la vallée et au-delà du Jourdain, voyant que les Israélites avaient fui, et que Saül était mort ainsi que ses fils, abandonnèrent leurs cités et s’enfuirent; et les Philistins vinrent et y habitèrent.
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 Mais, le jour suivant arrivé, les Philistins vinrent pour dépouiller ceux qui avaient été tués, et ils trouvèrent Saül et ses trois fils étendus sur la montagne de Gelboé.
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 coupèrent la tête de Saül, et le dépouillèrent de ses armes; puis, ils envoyèrent dans la terre des Philistins tout autour, pour que la nouvelle fut portée dans le temple des idoles, et parmi les peuples.
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 déposèrent ses armes dans le temple d’Astaroth; mais son corps, ils le suspendirent au mur de Bethsan.
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
11 Lorsque les habitants de Jabès-Galaad eurent appris tout ce que les Philistins avaient fait à Saül,
And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
12 Tous les hommes les plus vaillants se levèrent, et marchèrent pendant toute la nuit, et ils enlevèrent le cadavre de Saül, et les cadavres de ses fils du mur de Bethsan; puis, ils vinrent à Jabès-Galaad, et les brûlèrent là.
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 emportèrent leurs os, et les ensevelirent dans le bois de Jabès, et ils jeûnèrent pendant sept jours.
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
