Pirmā Samuela 31
1 Un Fīlisti karoja pret Israēli un Israēla vīri bēga no Fīlistiem un krita nokauti uz Ģilboas kalniem.
Later, the Philistines again fought against the Israelis. The Israelis ran away from them, and (many Israelis were killed/the Philistines killed many Israelis) on Gilboa Mountain.
2 Un Fīlisti lauzās uz Saulu un uz viņa dēliem, un nokāva Jonatānu un Abinadabu un Malķizuū, Saula dēlus.
The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
3 Un tā kaušanās bija briesmīga pret Saulu, un strēlnieki to aizņēma ar saviem stopiem, un viņš tapa ļoti ievainots no tiem strēlniekiem.
The fighting was very fierce around Saul. When the Philistine (archers/men with bows and arrows) caught up with Saul, they wounded him badly [with their arrows].
4 Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu bruņu nesēju: izvelc savu zobenu un nodur mani ar to, ka šie neapgraizītie nenāk un mani nenodur un mani neliek smieklā. Bet viņa bruņu nesējs negribēja, jo viņš bijās ļoti. Tad Sauls ņēma zobenu un metās uz to.
Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to thrust their swords into me and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified, and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. [The sword pierced his body and he died].
5 Kad nu viņa bruņu nesējs redzēja, ka Sauls bija miris, tad tas arīdzan metās savā zobenā un mira līdz ar viņu.
When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
6 Tā Sauls nomira un viņa trīs dēli un viņa bruņu nesējs un visi viņa vīri tai dienā kopā.
So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
7 Kad nu Israēla vīri, kas bija viņpus tās ielejas un viņpus Jardānes, redzēja, ka Israēla vīri bija bēguši un ka Sauls ar saviem dēliem bija nomiris, tad tie atstāja tās pilsētas un bēga, un Fīlisti nāca un dzīvoja iekš tām.
When the Israeli people on the north side of the [Jezreel] Valley and on the east side of the Jordan [River] heard that the Israeli army had run away and that Saul and his sons had died, they left their towns and ran away. Then the Philistines came and occupied their towns.
8 Un otrā dienā Fīlisti nāca, tos nokautos aplaupīt, un atrada Saulu un viņa trīs dēlus uz Ģilboas kalniem guļam.
The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the bodies of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
9 Un tie viņam nocirta galvu un novilka bruņas, un sūtīja pa Fīlistu zemi apkārt, ziņu dot savu elka dievu namos un pa tiem ļaudīm.
They cut off Saul’s head and took his weapons. Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news, in the temple where they kept their idols, and to the other people, [that their army had killed Saul].
10 Un tie nolika viņa bruņas Astartes namā un viņa miesas tie pakāra BetŠanā pie mūra.
They put Saul’s weapons in the temple of [their goddess] Astarte. They also fastened the bodies of Saul [and his sons] to the wall [that surrounded] Beth-Shan [city].
11 Kad nu Jabesas iedzīvotāji Gileādā dzirdēja, ko Fīlisti Saulam bija darījuši,
When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
12 Tad visi spēcīgie vīri cēlās un gāja cauru nakti un ņēma Saula miesas un viņa dēlu miesas no BetŠanas mūra, un tās veda uz Jabesu un tās tur sadedzināja,
all their bravest soldiers walked all night to Beth-Shan. They took the corpses of Saul and his sons down from the city wall, and they took them back to Jabesh and burned the corpses there.
13 Un ņēma viņu kaulus un tos apraka apakš Jabesas kokiem un gavēja septiņas dienas.
They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
