1 Krønikebok 10
1 Og filistarane stridde mot Israel, og Israels-mennerne flydde for filistarane, og det vart liggjande mange falne på Gilboafjellet.
Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from the Philistines, and they fell down wounded on mount Gilboa.
2 Og filistarane sette etter Saul og sønerne hans, og då felte dei Jonatan og Abinadab og Malkisua, sønerne hans Saul.
And when the Philistines had drawn near, pursuing Saul and his sons, they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Då dei no søkte hardt innåt Saul sjølv, og bogeskyttarane kom yver han, og han fekk ein støkk i seg for skyttarane.
And the battle grew heavy against Saul. And the archers found him, and they wounded him with arrows.
4 Og Saul sagde til våpnsveinen sin: «Drag ut sverdet ditt og stikk det igjenom meg, so ikkje desse u-umskorne skal koma og fara ille med meg!» Men våpnsveinen hans vilde ikkje; for han var ovleg rædd. Då tok Saul sjølv sverdet og stupte seg på det.
And Saul said to his armor bearer: “Unsheathe your sword and kill me. Otherwise, these uncircumcised men may arrive and mock me.” But his armor bearer was not willing, having been struck with fear. And so, Saul took hold of his sword, and he fell upon it.
5 Men då våpnsveinen såg at Saul var dåen, stupte han seg og på sitt sverd og døydde.
And when his armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.
6 So døydde då Saul og dei tri sønerne hans; og dei som høyrde til hans hus, døydde alle i ein gong.
Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.
7 Då so alle dei Israels-mennerne som var i dalen, såg at dei hadde flytt, og at Saul og sønerne hans var falne, so for dei frå byarne sine og rømde undan, og so kom filistarane og slo seg ned i deim.
And when the men of Israel who were living in the plains had seen this, they fled. And since Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and were dispersed, here and there. And the Philistines arrived and lived among them.
8 Andre dagen kom filistarane og skulde plundra liki, og dei fann då Saul og sønerne hans liggjande på Gilboafjellet.
Then, on the next day, when the Philistines were taking away the spoils of the slain, they found Saul and his sons, lying on mount Gilboa.
9 Og dei plundra honom, og tok med seg hovudet og våpni hans og sende deim ikring i Filistarlandet, og kunngjorde gledebodet for avgudarne sine og for folket.
And when they had despoiled him, and had cut off his head, and had stripped his armor, they sent these things into their land, so that they would be carried around and displayed in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10 Og dei lagde våpni hans i gudshuset sitt; men hausen hans feste dei i Dagons-templet.
But his armor they consecrated in the shrine of their god, and his head they affixed in the temple of Dagon.
11 Då heile Jabes i Gilead høyrde alt det som filistarane hadde gjort med Saul,
When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,
12 drog dei av, alle våpnføre menner, og tok liket åt Saul og liket åt sønerne hans og førde deim til Jabes, og jorda beini deira under eiki i Jabes og heldt fasta i sju dagar.
each one of the valiant men rose up, and they took the bodies of Saul and of his sons. And they brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
13 So let Saul livet for sin utruskap mot Herren, med di han ikkje hadde fylgt Herrens ord, og like eins for di han hadde spurt ei som mana fram draugar og søkt råd hjå henne.
Thus did Saul die for his iniquities, because he betrayed the commandment of the Lord which he had instructed, and did not keep it. And moreover, he even consulted a woman diviner;
14 Han hadde ikkje søkt råd hjå Herren; difor let Herren honom døy, og sidan let han David Isaison få kongedømet.
for he did not trust in the Lord. Because of this, he caused his death, and he transferred his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
