I Paralipomenon 10
1 Philisthim autem pugnabant contra Israhel fugeruntque viri Israhel Palestinos et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboe
And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in Mount Gilboa,
2 cumque adpropinquassent Philisthei persequentes Saul et filios eius percusserunt Ionathan et Abinadab et Melchisuae filios Saul
and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
3 et adgravatum est proelium contra Saul inveneruntque eum sagittarii et vulneraverunt iaculis
And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
4 et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum evagina gladium tuum et interfice me ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti et inludant mihi noluit autem armiger eius hoc facere timore perterritus arripuit igitur Saul ensem et inruit in eum
and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come and have abused me.” And the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he fears exceedingly, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it;
5 quod cum vidisset armiger eius videlicet mortuum esse Saul inruit etiam ipse in gladium suum et mortuus est
and the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and falls, he also, on the sword, and dies;
6 interiit ergo Saul et tres filii eius et omnis domus illius pariter concidit
and Saul dies, and his three sons, and all his house—they died together.
7 quod cum vidissent viri Israhel qui habitabant in campestribus fugerunt et Saul ac filiis eius mortuis dereliquerunt urbes suas et huc illucque dispersi sunt veneruntque Philisthim et habitaverunt in eis
And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthim spolia caesorum invenerunt Saul et filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa,
9 cumque spoliassent eum et amputassent caput armisque nudassent miserunt in terram suam ut circumferretur et ostenderetur idolorum templis et populis
and strip him, and carry away his head and his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people;
10 arma autem eius consecraverunt in fano dei sui et caput adfixerunt in templo Dagon
and they put his weapons in the house of their gods, and have fixed his skull in the house of Dagon.
11 hoc cum audissent viri Iabesgalaad omnia scilicet quae Philisthim fecerunt super Saul
And all Jabesh-Gilead hears of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
12 consurrexerunt singuli virorum fortium et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum eius adtuleruntque ea in Iabes et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum quae erat in Iabes et ieiunaverunt septem diebus
and all the men of valor rise and carry away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast 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
And Saul dies because of his trespass that he trespassed against YHWH, against the word of YHWH that he did not keep, and also for asking to inquire of a familiar spirit;
14 nec speraverit in Domino propter quod et interfecit eum et transtulit regnum eius ad David filium Isai
and he did not inquire of YHWH, and He puts him to death, and turns around the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
