1 Књига дневника 10
1 А Филистеји се побише с Израиљем, и побегоше Израиљци испред Филистеја, и падаху мртви на гори Гелвуји.
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 И стигоше Филистеји Саула и синове његове, и погубише Филистеји Јонатана и Авинадава и Малхисуја, синове Саулове.
The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 И бој поста жешћи око Саула, и нађоше га стрелци, и он се уплаши од стрелаца.
The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
4 И рече Саул момку који му ношаше оружје: Извади мач свој, и прободи ме да не дођу ти необрезани и наругају ми се. Али не хте момак који му ношаше оружје, јер га беше врло страх. Тада Саул узе мач и баци се на њ.
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 А кад момак који му ношаше оружје виде где умре Саул, баци се и он на свој мач, и умре.
When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
6 Тако погибе Саул; и три сина његовог и сва чељад његова погибоше заједно.
So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
7 А кад сви Израиљци који беху у долини видеше где побегоше Израиљци и где погибе Саул и синови његови, оставише градове своје и побегоше те дођоше Филистеји и осташе у њима.
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 А сутрадан дођоше Филистеји да свлаче мртве, и нађоше Саула и синове његове где леже на гори Гелвуји.
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 И свукавши га узеше главу његову и оружје његово, и послаше у земљу филистејску на све стране да се објави код лажних богова њихових и по народу.
They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
10 И оставише оружје његово у кући богова својих, а главу му обесише у кући Дагоновој.
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 А кад чуше сви у Јавису галадском све што учинише Филистеји од Саула,
All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
12 Подигоше се сви јунаци и узеше тело Саулово и телеса синова његових, и донесоше их у Јавис, и погребоше кости њихове под храстом у Јавису, и постише седам дана.
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 И тако погибе Саул за безакоње своје, које учини Господу што не слуша речи Господње и што тражи да пита дух врачарски,
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 А не пита Господа; зато га уби, и пренесе царство на Давида, сина Јесејевог.
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].
