Βασιλειῶν Αʹ 31
1 Οι δε Φιλισταίοι επολέμουν κατά του Ισραήλ· και έφυγον οι άνδρες του Ισραήλ από προσώπου των Φιλισταίων και έπεσον πεφονευμένοι εν τω όρει Γελβουέ.
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 Και κατέφθασαν οι Φιλισταίοι τον Σαούλ και τους υιούς αυτού· και επάταξαν οι Φιλισταίοι τον Ιωνάθαν και τον Αβιναδάβ και τον Μελχί-σουέ, τους υιούς του Σαούλ.
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 Εβάρυνε δε η μάχη επί τον Σαούλ, και επέτυχον αυτόν οι άνδρες οι τοξόται και επληγώθη βαρέως υπό των τοξοτών.
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 Και είπεν ο Σαούλ προς τον οπλοφόρον αυτού, Σύρε την ρομφαίαν σου και διαπέρασόν με δι' αυτής, διά να μη έλθωσιν ούτοι οι απερίτμητοι και με διαπεράσωσι και με εμπαίξωσι· πλην ο οπλοφόρος αυτού δεν ήθελε, διότι εφοβείτο σφόδρα. Όθεν έλαβεν ο Σαούλ την ρομφαίαν και έπεσεν επ' αυτήν.
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 Και ως είδεν ο οπλοφόρος αυτού ότι απέθανεν ο Σαούλ, έπεσε και αυτός επί την ρομφαίαν αυτού και απέθανε μετ' αυτού.
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 ούτως απέθανεν ο Σαούλ και οι τρεις υιοί αυτού, και ο οπλοφόρος αυτού και πάντες οι άνδρες αυτού, την αυτήν εκείνην ημέραν ομού.
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 Και οι άνδρες Ισραήλ, οι πέραν της κοιλάδος, και οι πέραν του Ιορδάνου, ιδόντες ότι έφυγον οι άνδρες Ισραήλ και ότι ο Σαούλ και οι υιοί αυτού απέθανον, κατέλιπον τας πόλεις και έφυγον. και ελθόντες οι Φιλισταίοι κατώκησαν εν αυταίς.
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 Και την επαύριον, ότε ήλθον οι Φιλισταίοι διά να εκδύσωσι τους πεφονευμένους, εύρηκαν τον Σαούλ και τους τρεις υιούς αυτού πεπτωκότας επί το όρος Γελβουέ.
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 Και απέκοψαν την κεφαλήν αυτού και εξέδυσαν τα όπλα αυτού και απέστειλαν εις την γην των Φιλισταίων κύκλω, διά να διαδώσωσι την αγγελίαν εις τον οίκον των ειδώλων αυτών και μεταξύ του λαού.
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 Και ανέθεσαν τα όπλα αυτού εις τον οίκον της Ασταρώθ, και εκρέμασαν το σώμα αυτού εις το τείχος Βαιθ-σαν.
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
11 Ακούσαντες δε περί τούτου οι κάτοικοι της Ιαβείς-γαλαάδ, τι έκαμον οι Φιλισταίοι εις τον Σαούλ,
And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
12 ηγέρθησαν πάντες οι δυνατοί άνδρες και ώδοιπόρησαν όλην την νύκτα και έλαβον το σώμα του Σαούλ και τα σώματα των υιών αυτού από του τείχους Βαιθ-σαν, και ήλθον εις Ιαβείς και έκαυσαν αυτά εκεί·
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 και έλαβον τα οστά αυτών και έθαψαν υπό το δένδρον εν Ιαβείς και ενήστευσαν επτά ημέρας.
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
