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.
And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in Mount Gilboa,
2 Orang Filistin terus mengejar Saul dan anak-anaknya dan menewaskan Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua, anak-anak Saul.
and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Kemudian makin beratlah pertempuran itu bagi Saul; para pemanah menjumpainya, dan melukainya dengan parah.
And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him—men with bow—and he is greatly pained by 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.
and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come—these uncircumcised—and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me”; and the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it.
5 Ketika pembawa senjatanya melihat, bahwa Saul telah mati, iapun menjatuhkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati bersama-sama dengan Saul.
And the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and he falls—he also—on his sword, and dies with him;
6 Jadi Saul, ketiga anaknya dan pembawa senjatanya, dan seluruh tentaranya sama-sama mati pada hari itu.
and Saul dies, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, together on that day.
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 they see—the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan—that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell 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 it comes to pass on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on 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 strip off his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines, to proclaim tidings [in] the house of their idols, 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 place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and they have fixed his body on the wall of Beth-Shan.
11 Ketika penduduk Yabesh-Gilead mendengar tentang apa yang telah dilakukan orang Filistin kepada Saul,
And they hear regarding it—the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead—that which the Philistines have 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.
and all the men of valor arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come to Jabesh, and burn them there,
13 Mereka mengambil tulang-tulangnya lalu menguburkannya di bawah pohon tamariska di Yabesh. Sesudah itu berpuasalah mereka tujuh hari lamanya.
and they take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
