I Samuelis 31
1 Philisthiim autem pugnabant adversum Israel: et fugerunt viri Israel ante faciem Philisthiim, et ceciderunt interfecti in monte Gelboe.
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 Irrueruntque Philisthiim in Saul, et in filios eius, et percusserunt Ionathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul,
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 totumque pondus prælii versum est in Saul: et consecuti sunt eum viri sagittarii, et vulneratus est vehementer a sagittariis.
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 Dixitque Saul ad armigerum suum: Evagina gladium tuum, et percute me: ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti, et interficiant me, illudentes mihi. Et noluit armiger eius: fuerat enim nimio terrore perterritus. Arripuit itaque Saul gladium, et irruit super eum.
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 Quod cum vidisset armiger eius, videlicet quod mortuus esset Saul, irruit etiam ipse super gladium suum, et mortuus est cum eo.
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 Mortuus est ergo Saul, et tres filii eius, et armiger illius, et universi viri eius in die illa pariter.
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 Videntes autem viri Israel, qui erant trans vallem, et trans Iordanem, quod fugissent viri Israelitæ, et quod mortuus esset Saul, et filii eius, reliquerunt civitates suas, et fugerunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt ibi.
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 Facta autem die altera, venerunt Philisthiim, ut spoliarent interfectos, et invenerunt Saul et tres filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe.
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 Et præciderunt caput Saul, et spoliaverunt eum armis: et miserunt in Terram Philisthinorum per circuitum, ut annunciaretur in templo idolorum, et in populis.
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 Et posuerunt arma eius in templo Astaroth, corpus vero eius suspenderunt in muro Bethsan.
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
11 Quod cum audissent habitatores Iabes Galaad, quæcumque fecerant Philisthiim Saul,
And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
12 surrexerunt omnes viri fortissimi, et ambulaverunt tota nocte, et tulerunt cadaver Saul, et cadavera filiorum eius de muro Bethsan: veneruntque Iabes Galaad, et combusserunt ea ibi:
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 et tulerunt ossa eorum, et sepelierunt in nemore Iabes, et ieiunaverunt septem diebus.
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
