I Paralipomenon 10
1 Philisthiim autem pugnabant contra Israel, fugeruntque viri Israel Palaesthinos, et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboe.
The Philistines attacked Israel and all the Israelites soldiers ran away from them. Many Israelites were cut down on Mount Gilboa.
2 Cumque appropinquassent Philisthaei persequentes Saul, et filios eius, percusserunt Ionathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul.
The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons. The killed Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 Et aggravatum est praelium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii, et vulneraverunt iaculis.
The battle raged intensely around Saul. The enemy archers saw where he was, and they wounded him.
4 Et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum: Evagina gladium tuum, et interfice me: ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti, et illudant mihi. Noluit autem armiger eius hoc facere, timore perterritus: arripuit ergo Saul ensem, et irruit in eum.
Saul told his armor bearer, “Take out your sword and kill me before these heathen come and torment me.” But his armor bearer refused—he was too afraid to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 Quod cum vidisset armiger eius, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum, et mortuus est.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
6 Interiit ergo Saul, et tres filii eius, et omnis domus illius pariter concidit.
So Saul and three of his sons died there, along with his royal line.
7 Quod cum vidissent viri Israel, qui habitabant in campestribus, fugerunt: et Saul ac filiis eius mortuis, dereliquerunt urbes suas, et huc illucque dispersi sunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt in eis.
When all the Israelites in the valley saw that their army had run away, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and they also ran away. The Philistines came and occupied them.
8 Die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthiim spolia caesorum, invenerunt Saul, et filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe.
The following day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they discovered the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.
9 Cumque spoliassent eum, et amputassent caput, armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam, ut circumferretur, et ostenderetur idolorum templis, et populis:
They stripped him, cut off his head, and took his armor. Then they sent the news throughout the land of Philistia, to their idols and their people.
10 arma autem eius consecraverunt in fano dei sui, et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.
They put Saul's armor in the temple of their idols and fixed his head to the temple of Dagon.
11 Hoc cum audissent viri Iabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quae Philisthiim fecerant super Saul,
However, when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 consurrexerunt singuli virorum fortium, et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum eius: attuleruntque ea in Iabes, et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quae erat in Iabes, et ieiunaverunt septem diebus.
all their fighting men went and recovered the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them back and buried them under the large tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted for seven days.
13 Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitates suas, eo quod praevaricatus sit mandatum Domini quod praeceperat, et non custodierit illud: sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit,
Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He did not keep the Lord's commands, and he also went to consult a medium.
14 nec speraverit in Domino: propter quod interfecit eum, et transtulit regnum eius ad David filium Isai.
He did not consult the Lord, so the Lord put him to death and he handed over the kingship to David, son of Jesse.
