1 Dnevnika 10
1 A Filisteji se pobiše s Izrailjem, i pobjegoše Izrailjci ispred Filisteja, i padahu mrtvi na gori Gelvuji.
The army of Philistia [again] fought against the Israelis. The Israeli soldiers ran away from them, and many Israelis were killed {the soldiers of Philistia killed many Israelis} on Gilboa Mountain.
2 I stigoše Filisteji Saula i sinove njegove, i pogubiše Filisteji Jonatana i Avinadava i Malhisuja, sinove Saulove.
The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 I boj posta žešæi oko Saula, i naðoše ga strijelci, i on se uplaši od strijelaca.
The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
4 I reèe Saul momku koji mu nošaše oružje: izvadi maè svoj, i probodi me da ne doðu ti neobrezani i narugaju mi se. Ali ne htje momak koji mu nošaše oružje, jer ga bješe vrlo strah. Tada Saul uze maè i baci se na nj.
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 injure me [further] 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 [and died].
5 A kad momak koji mu nošaše oružje vidje gdje umrije Saul, baci se i on na svoj maè, i umrije.
When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
6 Tako pogibe Saul; i tri sina njegova i sva èeljad njegova pogiboše zajedno.
So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
7 A kad svi Izrailjci koji bijahu u dolini vidješe gdje pobjegoše Izrailjci i gdje pogibe Saul i sinovi njegovi, ostaviše gradove svoje i pobjegoše, te doðoše Filisteji i ostaše u njima.
When the Israelis who were living in the valley saw that their army had run away and that Saul and his three sons were dead, they left their towns and ran away. Then the soldiers from Philistia came and (occupied/lived in) those towns.
8 A sjutradan doðoše Filisteji da svlaèe mrtve, i naðoše Saula i sinove njegove gdje leže na gori Gelvuji.
The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the corpses of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
9 I svukavši ga uzeše glavu njegovu i oružje njegovo, i poslaše u zemlju Filistejsku na sve strane da se objavi kod lažnijeh bogova njihovijeh i po narodu.
They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
10 I ostaviše oružje njegovo u kuæi bogova svojih, a glavu mu objesiše u kuæi Dagonovoj.
Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news throughout their own area, to their idols and to the other people. They put Saul’s armor in the temple where their idols were, and they hung Saul’s head in the temple of [their god] Dagon.
11 A kad èuše svi u Javisu Galadskom sve što uèiniše Filisteji od Saula,
All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
12 Podigoše se svi junaci i uzeše tijelo Saulovo i tjelesa sinova njegovijeh, i donesoše ih u Javis, i pogreboše kosti njihove pod hrastom u Javisu, i postiše sedam dana.
So the bravest men/soldiers of Jabesh went and got the corpses of Saul and his sons and brought them back to Jabesh. They buried their bones under a large tree in Jabesh. Then the people of Jabesh (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
13 I tako pogibe Saul za bezakonje svoje, koje uèini Gospodu što ne sluša rijeèi Gospodnje i što traži da pita duh vraèarski,
Saul died because he did not faithfully obey what Yahweh told him to do. He even went to a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people and asked her what he should do,
14 A ne pita Gospoda; zato ga ubi, i prenese carstvo na Davida sina Jesejeva.
instead of asking Yahweh what he should do. So Yahweh caused him to die, and he appointed David, the son of Jesse, to be the king [of Israel].
