< اول سموئیل 31 >

فلسطینی‌ها با اسرائیلی‌ها وارد جنگ شدند و آنها را شکست دادند. اسرائیلی‌ها فرار کردند و در دامنهٔ کوه جلبوع، تلفات زیادی به جای گذاشتند. 1
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.
فلسطینی‌ها شائول و پسران او یوناتان، ابیناداب و ملکیشوع را محاصره کردند و پسرانش را کشتند. 2
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.
عرصه بر شائول تنگ شد و تیراندازان فلسطینی دورش را گرفته او را به سختی مجروح کردند. 3
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.
پس شائول به سلاحدار خود گفت: «پیش از آنکه به دست این کافران بیفتم و با رسوایی کشته شوم، تو با شمشیرت مرا بکش!» ولی آن مرد ترسید این کار را بکند. پس شائول شمشیر خود را گرفت و خود را بر آن انداخت و مرد. 4
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.
محافظ شائول چون او را مرده دید، او نیز خود را روی شمشیرش انداخت و همراه شائول مرد. 5
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.
بدین ترتیب، شائول و سه پسرش و سلاحدار وی و همهٔ افرادش در آن روز کشته شدند. 6
And he died Saul and [the] three sons his and [the] bearer of armor his also all men his on the day that together.
اسرائیلی‌هایی که در آن سوی درۀ یزرعیل و شرق رود اردن بودند، وقتی شنیدند که سربازانشان فرار کرده و شائول و پسرانش کشته شده‌اند، شهرهای خود را ترک نموده گریختند. پس فلسطینی‌ها آمدند و در آن شهرها ساکن شدند. 7
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.
در فردای آن روز، چون فلسطینی‌ها برای غارت کشته‌شدگان رفتند، جنازهٔ شائول و سه پسرش را که در کوه جلبوع افتاده بود یافتند. 8
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.
آنها سر شائول را از تنش جدا کرده، اسلحهٔ او را باز کردند، سپس جارچیان به سراسر فلسطین فرستادند تا خبر کشته شدن شائول را به بتخانه‌ها و مردم فلسطین برسانند. 9
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.
اسلحهٔ شائول را در بتخانهٔ عشتاروت گذاشتند و جسدش را بر دیوار شهر بیتْ‌شان آویختند. 10
And they put armor his [the] house of Ashtaroth and corpse his they fixed on [the] wall of Beth Shan.
وقتی ساکنان یابیشِ جلعاد، آنچه را که فلسطینی‌ها بر سر شائول آورده بودند شنیدند، 11
And they heard concerning him [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead [that] which they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
مردان دلاور خود را به بیت‌شان فرستادند. آنها تمام شب در راه بودند تا سرانجام به بیتْ‌شان رسیدند و اجساد شائول و پسرانش را از دیوار پایین کشیده، به یابیش آوردند و آنها را در آنجا سوزاندند. 12
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.
سپس استخوانهای ایشان را گرفته، زیر درخت بلوطی که در یابیش است دفن کردند و هفت روز روزه گرفتند. 13
And they took bones their and they buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
