1 शमुवेल 31
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 २ पलिष्टी शौलाच्या व त्याच्या मुलांच्या पाठीस लागले; आणि पलिष्टयांनी शौलाचे पुत्र योनाथान व अबीनादाब व मलकीशुवा यांना जिवे मारले.
The Philistines caught up with Saul and his three sons, and they killed [all three of] his sons, Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua.
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 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.
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].
When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
So Saul, three of his sons, and the man who carried Saul’s weapons, all died on that same day.
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.
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 ८ दुसऱ्या दिवशी असे झाले की, पलिष्टी मेलेल्यांची वस्त्रे लुटायला आले तेव्हा त्यांना शौल व त्याचे तिघे पुत्र गिलबोवा डोंगरात पडलेले सापडले.
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 ९ तेव्हा त्यांनी त्यांचे शिर छेदून त्याची शस्त्रे काढली आणि पलिष्ट्यांच्या देशात चहूकडे त्यांच्या मूर्तीच्या देवळात व लोकांस हे वर्तमान कळवायला त्यांनी माणसे पाठवली.
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 १० त्यांनी त्याची शस्त्रे अष्टारोथाच्या मंदिरात ठेवली आणि त्यांनी त्यांचे प्रेत बेथ-शानाच्या भिंतीस टांगले.
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].
When the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s corpse,
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.
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.
They took the bones and buried them under a [big] tamarisk tree. Then they (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
