< 1 Samuel 31 >
1 Sementara itu orang Filistin bertempur melawan orang Israel di pegunungan Gilboa. Banyak orang Israel tewas di situ, dan yang lainnya, termasuk Saul dan putra-putranya melarikan diri.
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 Tetapi mereka disusul oleh orang Filistin dan tiga orang di antara putra-putra Saul itu mati dibunuh; yaitu Yonatan, Abinadab, dan Malkisua.
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 Pertempuran amat sengit di sekitar Saul, dan ia sendiri kena panah-panah musuh sehingga luka parah.
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 Lalu kata Saul kepada pemuda yang membawa senjatanya, "Cabutlah pedangmu dan tikamlah aku, supaya aku jangan dipermain-mainkan dan dibunuh oleh orang-orang yang tak mengenal TUHAN itu." Tetapi pemuda itu tidak mau menikamnya, karena ia sangat menghormatinya. Sebab itu Saul mengambil pedangnya sendiri dan merebahkan dirinya ke atas mata pedang itu.
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 Ketika pemuda itu melihat bahwa Saul sudah wafat, ia pun merebahkan dirinya ke atas mata pedangnya lalu tewas di samping Saul.
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 Demikianlah Saul bersama ketiga putranya, dan semua anak buahnya serta pemuda itu tewas pada satu hari itu.
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 Ketika orang-orang Israel yang tinggal di seberang Lembah Yizreel dan sebelah timur Sungai Yordan mendengar bahwa tentara Israel telah melarikan diri, dan bahwa Saul serta putra-putranya sudah tewas, mereka lari meninggalkan kota-kota mereka. Kemudian orang Filistin menduduki kota-kota itu.
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 Besoknya ketika orang Filistin datang untuk merampoki mayat-mayat, mereka menemukan Saul dan ketiga putranya sudah tewas di pegunungan 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 Mereka memenggal kepala Saul dan mengambil baju perangnya, lalu orang Filistin mengirim utusan ke seluruh negeri Filistin untuk menyampaikan kabar baik itu kepada rakyat dan dewa mereka.
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 Kemudian baju perang Saul itu disimpan di dalam kuil dewi Asytoret, dan badannya dipakukan pada tembok kota Bet-Sean.
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
11 Tetapi penduduk Yabesh di Gilead mendengar apa yang telah dilakukan orang Filistin kepada Saul,
And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
12 lalu orang-orang yang paling berani berangkat dari situ dan berjalan sepanjang malam ke Bet-Sean. Mereka menurunkan jenazah Saul dan jenazah putra-putranya dari tembok kota itu lalu membawanya ke Yabesh, dan membakarnya.
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 Semua tulang-tulangnya dikumpulkan dan dikebumikan di bawah pohon tamariska di kota itu, kemudian berpuasalah mereka tujuh hari lamanya.
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
