1 Књига дневника 10
1 А Филистеји се побише с Израиљем, и побегоше Израиљци испред Филистеја, и падаху мртви на гори Гелвуји.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 И стигоше Филистеји Саула и синове његове, и погубише Филистеји Јонатана и Авинадава и Малхисуја, синове Саулове.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 И бој поста жешћи око Саула, и нађоше га стрелци, и он се уплаши од стрелаца.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
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.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 А кад момак који му ношаше оружје виде где умре Саул, баци се и он на свој мач, и умре.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
6 Тако погибе Саул; и три сина његовог и сва чељад његова погибоше заједно.
So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
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 all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 А сутрадан дођоше Филистеји да свлаче мртве, и нађоше Саула и синове његове где леже на гори Гелвуји.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
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 stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the people.
10 И оставише оружје његово у кући богова својих, а главу му обесише у кући Дагоновој.
They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 А кад чуше сви у Јавису галадском све што учинише Филистеји од Саула,
When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
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.
all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted 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,
So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of Yahweh’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
14 А не пита Господа; зато га уби, и пренесе царство на Давида, сина Јесејевог.
and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
