1 Crónicas 10
1 Los filisteos combatieron contra Israel. Los hombres de Israel huyeron de los filisteos y cayeron muertos en la montaña Gilboa.
Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel; and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.
2 Los filisteos siguieron de cerca a Saúl y a sus hijos. Mataron a Jonatán, a Abinadab y a Malquisúa, hijos de Saúl.
And the Philistines went hard after Saul and his sons, and put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
3 Arreció la batalla contra Saúl. Los flecheros lo alcanzaron y fue herido por ellos.
And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
4 Entonces Saúl dijo a su escudero: Saca tu espada y traspásame con ella, no sea que estos incircuncisos vengan y me escarnezcan. Pero su escudero no quiso, porque tenía gran temor. Entonces Saúl tomó la espada y se echó sobre ella.
Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, falling on it himself.
5 Al ver que Saúl moría, su escudero también se echó sobre la suya y murió.
And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
6 Así murió Saúl con sus tres hijos. Todos los de su casa murieron juntamente con él.
So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end together.
7 Cuando todos los hombres de Israel que estaban en el valle vieron que Saúl y sus hijos murieron, abandonaron sus ciudades y huyeron. Entonces los filisteos vinieron y vivieron en ellas.
And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the men of Israel had gone in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they went in flight away from their towns; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.
8 El día siguiente aconteció que los filisteos fueron a despojar a los muertos y hallaron a Saúl y a sus hijos tendidos en la montaña Gilboa.
Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in Mount Gilboa.
9 Lo despojaron y tomaron su cabeza y sus armas. Enviaron mensajeros por toda la tierra de los filisteos para dar las noticias a sus ídolos y al pueblo.
And they took everything off him, and took his head and his war-dress, and sent word into the land of the Philistines round about to give the news to their gods and to the people.
10 Colgaron sus armas en el templo de sus ʼelohim y clavaron su cabeza en el templo de Dagón.
And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Cuando todos los de Jabes de Galaad oyeron todo lo que los filisteos hicieron a Saúl,
And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 se levantaron todos los hombres valientes, tomaron los cadáveres de Saúl y sus hijos y los llevaron a Jabes. Sepultaron sus restos debajo del roble de Jabes y ayunaron siete días.
All the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for seven days.
13 Así murió Saúl a causa de su infidelidad que cometió contra Yavé, contra la Palabra de Yavé, la cual no guardó. Aun consultó a una evocadora de espíritus de muertos,
So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,
14 y no consultó a Yavé. Por esa causa lo mató y traspasó el reino a David, hijo de Isaí.
And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
