1 Samuel 31
1 Torej Filistejci so se borili zoper Izrael in Izraelci so pobegnili pred Filistejci in padli dol, umorjeni na gori Gilbói.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Filistejci so tesno sledili Savlu in njegovim sinovom in Filistejci so usmrtili Jonatana, Abinadába in Malkišúa, Savlove sinove.
The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Bitka je postala huda zoper Savla in lokostrelci so ga zadeli; in bil je hudo ranjen od lokostrelcev.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
4 Potem je Savel rekel svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme: »Izvleci svoj meč in me prebodi z njim; da ne bi prišli ti neobrezanci in me prebodli in me zlorabili.« Vendar njegov nosilec bojne opreme ni hotel, kajti bil je hudo prestrašen. Zato je Savel vzel meč in padel nanj.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me!” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 Ko je njegov nosilec bojne opreme videl, da je bil Savel mrtev, je tudi sam prav tako padel na svoj meč in umrl z njim.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
6 Tako so ta isti dan skupaj umrli Savel, njegovi trije sinovi, njegov nosilec bojne opreme in vsi njegovi možje.
So Saul died with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 Ko so Izraelovi možje, ki so bili na drugi strani doline in tisti, ki so bili na drugi strani Jordana, videli, da so Izraelovi možje pobegnili in da so bili Savel in njegovi sinovi mrtvi, so zapustili mesta in pobegnili in Filistejci so prišli ter prebivali v njih.
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, ko so prišli Filistejci, da oropajo umorjene, da so našli Savla in njegove tri sinove padle na gori Gilbói.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Odsekali so njegovo glavo, slekli njegovo bojno opremo in poslali naokoli, v deželo Filistejcev, da to razglasijo v hiši njihovih malikov in med ljudstvom.
They cut off his head, stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols and to the people.
10 Njegovo bojno opremo so položili v hišo Astarte. Njegovo telo pa so pritrdili na obzidje Bet Šeána.
They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
11 Ko so prebivalci Jabéš Gileáda slišali o tem, kar so Filistejci storili Savlu,
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 so se vsi hrabri možje vzdignili in hodili vso noč in vzeli Savlovo telo in telesa njegovih sinov z obzidja Bet Šeána in prišli v Jabéš ter jih tam sežgali.
all the valiant men arose, went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.
13 In vzeli so njihove kosti in jih pokopali pod drevesom pri Jabéšu in se postili sedem dni.
They took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
