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 Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Orang Filistin terus mengejar Saul dan anak-anaknya dan menewaskan Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua, anak-anak Saul.
The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Kemudian makin beratlah pertempuran itu bagi Saul; para pemanah menjumpainya, dan melukainya dengan parah.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason 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 Saul said to his armour bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me!” But his armour bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 Ketika pembawa senjatanya melihat, bahwa Saul telah mati, iapun menjatuhkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati bersama-sama dengan Saul.
When his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
6 Jadi Saul, ketiga anaknya dan pembawa senjatanya, dan seluruh tentaranya sama-sama mati pada hari itu.
So Saul died with his three sons, 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.
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived 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.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found 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.
They cut off his head, stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols and to the people.
10 Kemudian mereka menaruh senjata-senjata Saul di kuil Asytoret, dan mayatnya dipakukan mereka di tembok kota Bet-Sean.
They put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
11 Ketika penduduk Yabesh-Gilead mendengar tentang apa yang telah dilakukan orang Filistin kepada Saul,
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines 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.
all the valiant men arose, went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burnt them there.
13 Mereka mengambil tulang-tulangnya lalu menguburkannya di bawah pohon tamariska di Yabesh. Sesudah itu berpuasalah mereka tujuh hari lamanya.
They took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
