1 Samuels 31
1 Filistrene stred mot Israel, og Israels menn flyktet for filistrene, og det lå mange falne på Gilboa-fjellet.
And [the] Philistines [were] fighting against Israel and they fled [the] men of Israel from before [the] Philistines and they fell slain on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
2 Og filistrene var like i hælene på Saul og hans sønner, og de drepte Jonatan og Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls sønner.
And they pursued closely [the] Philistines Saul and sons his and they struck down [the] Philistines Jonathan and Abinadab and Malki-Shua [the] sons of Saul.
3 Og striden blev hård der hvor Saul stod; bueskytterne kom over ham, og han blev grepet av redsel for skytterne.
And it was heavy the battle against Saul and they found him the archers men with the bow and he was in severe pain exceedingly from the archers.
4 Da sa Saul til sin våbensvenn: Dra ditt sverd og gjennembor mig med det, så ikke disse uomskårne skal komme og gjennembore mig og fare ille med mig! Men våbensvennen vilde ikke; han var for redd. Så tok Saul sitt sverd og styrtet sig i det.
And he said Saul to [the] bearer of armor his draw out sword your - and pierce through me with it lest they should come the uncircumcised [men] these and they will pierce through me and they will deal wantonly with me and not he was willing [the] bearer of armor his for he was afraid exceedingly and he took Saul the sword and he fell on it.
5 Og da våbensvennen så at Saul var død, styrtet også han sig i sitt sverd og døde med ham.
And he saw [the] bearer of armor his that he had died Saul and he fell also he on sword his and he died with him.
6 Således døde Saul og hans tre sønner og hans våbensvenn og alle hans menn på en og samme dag.
And he died Saul and [the] three sons his and [the] bearer of armor his also all men his on the day that together.
7 Og da de israelitter som bodde på den andre side av dalen, og de som bodde på Jordan-siden, så at israelittene var flyktet, og at Saul og hans sønner var død, forlot de byene og flyktet; og filistrene kom og bosatte sig i dem.
And they saw [the] men of Israel who [were] on [the] other side of the valley and who - [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan that they had fled [the] men of Israel and that they had died Saul and sons his and they abandoned the cities and they fled and they came [the] Philistines and they dwelt in them.
8 Dagen efter kom filistrene for å plyndre de falne; da fant de Saul og hans tre sønner liggende på Gilboafjellet.
And it was from [the] next day and they came [the] Philistines to strip the [ones] slain and they found Saul and [the] three sons his fallen on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
9 De hugg hodet av ham og røvet hans våben og sendte dem rundt omkring i filistrenes land for å forkynne det glade budskap i deres avguders templer og for folket.
And they cut off head his and they stripped off armor his and they sent in [the] land of [the] Philistines all around to bear [the] news [the] house of idols their and the people.
10 Og hans våben la de i Astartetemplet, og hans kropp hengte de op på muren i Betsan.
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
11 Da innbyggerne i Jabes i Gilead fikk høre hvad filistrene hadde gjort med Saul,
And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
12 tok alle våbenføre menn avsted og gikk hele natten; de tok Sauls og hans sønners kropper ned av Betsans mur, og da de var kommet til Jabes, brente de dem der.
And they arose every man of strength and they went all the night and they took [the] corpse of Saul and [the] corpses of sons his from [the] wall of Beth Shan and they went Jabesh towards and they burned them there.
13 Deres ben tok de og begravde under tamarisken i Jabes, og så holdt de faste i syv dager.
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
