< 1 Samuel 31 >

1 Sementara itu orang Filistin berperang melawan orang Israel. Orang-orang Israel melarikan diri dari hadapan orang Filistin dan banyak yang mati terbunuh di pegunungan Gilboa.
Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.
2 Orang Filistin terus mengejar Saul dan anak-anaknya dan menewaskan Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua, anak-anak Saul.
And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.
3 Kemudian makin beratlah pertempuran itu bagi Saul; para pemanah menjumpainya, dan melukainya dengan parah.
And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Lalu berkatalah Saul kepada pembawa senjatanya: "Hunuslah pedangmu dan tikamlah aku, supaya jangan datang orang-orang yang tidak bersunat ini menikam aku dan memperlakukan aku sebagai permainan." Tetapi pembawa senjatanya tidak mau, karena ia sangat segan. Kemudian Saul mengambil pedang itu dan menjatuhkan dirinya ke atasnya.
Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it.
5 Ketika pembawa senjatanya melihat, bahwa Saul telah mati, iapun menjatuhkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati bersama-sama dengan Saul.
And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him.
6 Jadi Saul, ketiga anaknya dan pembawa senjatanya, dan seluruh tentaranya sama-sama mati pada hari itu.
So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 Ketika dilihat orang-orang Israel, yang di seberang lembah dan yang di seberang sungai Yordan, bahwa tentara Israel telah melarikan diri, dan bahwa Saul serta anak-anaknya sudah mati, maka mereka meninggalkan kota-kota mereka lalu melarikan diri juga; kemudian datanglah orang Filistin dan menetap di sana.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.
8 Ketika keesokan harinya orang Filistin datang merampasi orang-orang yang mati terbunuh itu, didapati mereka Saul dan ketiga anaknya tergelimpang di pegunungan Gilboa.
And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,
9 Mereka memancung kepala Saul, merampas senjata-senjatanya dan menyuruh orang berkeliling di negeri orang Filistin untuk menyampaikan kabar itu di kuil berhalanya dan kepada rakyat.
And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, and sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, and among the people.
10 Kemudian mereka menaruh senjata-senjata Saul di kuil Asytoret, dan mayatnya dipakukan mereka di tembok kota Bet-Sean.
And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Ketika penduduk Yabesh-Gilead mendengar tentang apa yang telah dilakukan orang Filistin kepada Saul,
When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,
12 maka bersiaplah segenap orang gagah perkasa, mereka berjalan terus semalam-malaman, lalu mengambil mayat Saul dan mayat anak-anaknya dari tembok kota Bet-Sean. Kemudian pulanglah mereka ke Yabesh dan membakar mayat-mayat itu di sana.
Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there,
13 Mereka mengambil tulang-tulangnya lalu menguburkannya di bawah pohon tamariska di Yabesh. Sesudah itu berpuasalah mereka tujuh hari lamanya.
And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
