1 Samuelova 31
1 A Filisteji se pobiše s Izrailjcima, i pobjegoše Izrailjci ispred Filisteja, i padahu mrtvi na gori Gelvuji.
Now, as, the Philistines, were fighting against Israel, the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain, in Mount Gilboa.
2 I stigoše Filisteji Saula i sinove njegove; i pogubiše Filisteji Jonatana i Avinadava i Melhi-Suva, sinove Saulove.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
3 I boj posta žešæi oko Saula, i naðoše ga strijelci, i on se vrlo uplaši od strijelaca.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers discovered him, —and he was terrified at the archers.
4 I reèe Saul momku koji mu nošaše oružje: izvadi maè svoj i probodi me, da ne doðu ti neobrezani i probodu me i narugaju mi se. Ali ne htje momak što mu nošaše oružje, jer ga bješe vrlo strah. Tada Saul uze maè, i baci se na nj.
Then said Saul to his armour-bearer—Draw thy sword and pierce me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come, and pierce me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer was not willing, for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell thereon.
5 A kad momak koji nošaše oružje vidje Saula mrtva, baci se i on na svoj maè i umrije s njim.
And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also, fell upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Tako pogibe Saul i tri sina njegova i momak koji mu nošaše oružje i svi ljudi njegovi zajedno onoga dana.
Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, yea all his men, on that day, together.
7 A Izrailjci koji bijahu s ovu stranu potoka i s ovu stranu Jordana kad vidješe gdje Izrailjci pobjegoše i gdje pogibe Saul i njegovi sinovi, ostaviše gradove i pobjegoše, te doðoše Filisteji i ostaše u njima.
And, when the men of Israel who were across the vale, and who were across the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled, and the Philistines entered, and took up their abode therein.
8 A sjutradan doðoše Filisteji da svlaèe mrtve; i naðoše Saula i tri sina njegova gdje leže na gori Gelvuji.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul, and his three sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
9 I otsjekoše mu glavu, i skidoše oružje s njega, i poslaše u zemlju Filistejsku na sve strane da se objavi u kuæi njihovijeh lažnijeh bogova i po narodu.
So they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and unto the people.
10 I ostaviše oružje njegovo u kuæi Astarotinoj, a tijelo njegovo objesiše na zid Vet-sanski.
And they put his armour in a house of Ashtoreths, —and, his dead body, fastened they on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 A èuše stanovnici u Javisu Galadovu šta uèiniše Filisteji od Saula.
And, when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, what the Philistines had done unto Saul,
12 I podigoše se svi ljudi hrabri, i išavši svu noæ skidoše tijelo Saulovo i tjelesa sinova njegovijeh sa zida Vet-sanskoga, pa se vratiše u Javis, i ondje ih spališe.
then arose all the men of valour, and journeyed all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-shan, —and came to Jabesh, and burned them there;
13 I uzeše kosti njihove i pogreboše ih pod drvetom u Javisu, i postiše sedam dana.
and took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, —and fasted seven days.
