1 शमुवेल 31
Now, as, the Philistines, were fighting against Israel, the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain, in Mount Gilboa.
2 २ पलिष्टी शौलाच्या व त्याच्या मुलांच्या पाठीस लागले; आणि पलिष्टयांनी शौलाचे पुत्र योनाथान व अबीनादाब व मलकीशुवा यांना जिवे मारले.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers discovered him, —and he was terrified at the archers.
4 ४ तेव्हा शौल आपल्या शस्त्रवाहकाला म्हणाला, “तू आपली तलवार उपसून तिने मला आरपार भोसक नाही तर हे बेसुंती येऊन मला भोसकून माझी विटंबना करतील.” परंतु त्याचा शस्त्रवाहक मान्य होईना, कारण तो फार भ्याला. म्हणून शौल आपली तलवार घेऊन तिच्यावर पडला.
Then said Saul to his armour-bearer—Draw thy sword and pierce me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come, and pierce me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer was not willing, for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell thereon.
And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also, fell upon his sword, and died with him.
Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, yea all his men, on that day, together.
7 ७ इस्राएलांची माणसे पळाली आणि शौल व त्याचे पुत्र मरण पावले, हे इस्राएलाची माणसे खोऱ्याच्या पलीकडे व यार्देनेच्या पलीकडे होती त्यांनी पाहिले; तेव्हा ती आपली नगरे सोडून पळाली; मग पलिष्टी येऊन त्यामध्ये राहिले.
And, when the men of Israel who were across the vale, and who were across the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled, and the Philistines entered, and took up their abode therein.
8 ८ दुसऱ्या दिवशी असे झाले की, पलिष्टी मेलेल्यांची वस्त्रे लुटायला आले तेव्हा त्यांना शौल व त्याचे तिघे पुत्र गिलबोवा डोंगरात पडलेले सापडले.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul, and his three sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
9 ९ तेव्हा त्यांनी त्यांचे शिर छेदून त्याची शस्त्रे काढली आणि पलिष्ट्यांच्या देशात चहूकडे त्यांच्या मूर्तीच्या देवळात व लोकांस हे वर्तमान कळवायला त्यांनी माणसे पाठवली.
So they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and unto the people.
10 १० त्यांनी त्याची शस्त्रे अष्टारोथाच्या मंदिरात ठेवली आणि त्यांनी त्यांचे प्रेत बेथ-शानाच्या भिंतीस टांगले.
And they put his armour in a house of Ashtoreths, —and, his dead body, fastened they on the wall of Beth-shan.
And, when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, what the Philistines had done unto Saul,
12 १२ तेव्हा सर्व शूर पुरुष उठून रात्रभर चालत गेले आणि त्यांनी शौलाचे प्रेत व त्याच्या मुलांची प्रेते बेथ-शानाच्या भिंतीवरून काढून याबेशाला आणले व तेथे ती जाळली.
then arose all the men of valour, and journeyed all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-shan, —and came to Jabesh, and burned them there;
and took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, —and fasted seven days.
