Первая книга Царств 31
1 И иноплеменницы воеваху на Израиля, и бежаша мужие Израилевы от лица иноплеменнича, и падаху язвеннии на горе Гелвуе.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 И снидошася иноплеменницы с Саулом и с сынми его, и убиша иноплеменницы Ионафана и Аминадава и Мелхисуа, сыны Сауловы.
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.
3 И отяготе брань на Саула, и обретоша его копейницы мужие стрелцы, и уязвен бысть (Саул) во утробу.
And the battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was grievously wounded by the archers.
4 И рече Саул к носящему оружие его: изсуни мечь твой и прободи мя им, да не приидут необрезаннии сии и избодут мя, и поругаются мне. И не хотяше носяй оружие его, яко убояся зело. И взя Саул мечь свой и паде на него.
Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 И виде носяй оружие его, яко умре Саул, и паде и той на мечь свой и умре с ним.
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 И умре Саул и трие сынове его, и носяй оружие его, и вси мужие его в день той купно.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 И видеша мужие Израилстии, иже об он пол юдоли и иже об он пол Иордана, яко бежаша мужие Израилстии, и яко умре Саул и сынове его, и оставиша грады своя и бежаша: и приидоша иноплеменницы и вселишася в них.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 И бысть на утрие, и приидоша иноплеменницы обнажити мертвых, и обретоша Саула и три сыны его падшыя на горе Гелвуе,
And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 и обратиша его, и сняша оружие его, и отсекоша главу его, и послаша в землю иноплеменничу окрест возвещающе идолом их и людем их:
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent them around the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 и положиша оружие его у Астарта, тело же его воткнуша на стене Вефсамли.
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
11 И услышаша живущии во Иависе Галаадитийстем, яже сотвориша иноплеменницы Саулу,
And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 и восташа вси мужие сильнии, и идоша всю нощь, и взяша тело Саулово и тело Ионафана сына его с стены Вефсамски, и принесоша я во Иавис, и сожгоша я тамо:
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 и взяша кости их, и погребоша я в дубраве яже во Иависе, и постишася седмь дний.
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
