1 Samuels 31
1 Filistarane gjekk på i striden mot Israel. Israels-mennerne rømde undan for filistarane, og det låg mange falne på Gilboafjellet.
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 Filistarane sette etter Saul og sønerne hans. Og filistarane felte Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls-sønerne.
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 Saul sjølv kom upp i ein hard strid. Og nokre bogeskyttarar råka innpå honom. Saul vreid seg i rædsla for skyttarane.
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 Og han baud våpnsveinen sin: «Drag sverdet ditt, og støyt det gjenom meg, so ikkje desse u-umskorne skal koma og drepa meg, og skamfara meg!» Men våpnsveinen vilde ikkje; han var altfor rædd. Då tok Saul sverdet sjølv og stupte seg på 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 Då våpnsveinen såg Saul var dåen, stupte han seg ogso på sitt sverd og fylgde honom i dauden.
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 Den dagen fall dei alle i hop, Saul og dei tri sønerne hans og våpnsveinen, og sameleis alle mennerne hans.
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 då Israels-mennerne på hi sida dalen og på hi sida Jordan gådde at Israels-mennerne hadde rømt, og at Saul og sønerne hans var falne, so rømde dei ut or byarne sine; og filistarane kom og busette seg der.
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 etter kom filistarane og plundra liki. Dei fann Saul og dei tri sønerne hans liggjande 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 Dei hogg hovudet av honom, og rana våpni hans og sende rundt i Filistarlandet, og let forkynna fagnadbodet i templi åt avgudarne sine og millom 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 Dei lagde våpni hans i Astarte-templet; og liket hans hengde dei upp på bymuren i Bet-San.
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
11 Då folket i Jabes i Gilead høyrde gjete det filistarane 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 dei i veg, alle våpnføre karar, gjekk heile natti, tok ned frå muren i Bet-San Sauls lik og liki av sønerne hans, for so til Jabes og brende liki 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 So tok dei og grov beini deira ned under tamariska i Jabes og heldt fasta i sju dagar.
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
