1 Samuel 31
1 Ang mga Filisteo nga ay lumaban sa Israel: at ang mga lalake sa Israel ay tumakas sa harap ng mga Filisteo, at nangabuwal na patay sa bundok ng Gilboa.
Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel. And the men of Israel fled before the face of the Philistines, and they fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
2 At hinabol ng panunod ng mga Filisteo si Saul at ang kaniyang mga anak; at pinatay ng mga Filisteo si Jonathan, at si Abinadab, at si Melchisua, na mga anak ni Saul.
And the Philistines rushed upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 At ang pagbabaka ay lumubha laban kay Saul, at inabutan siya ng mga mamamana; at siya'y totoong nahirapan dahil sa mga mamamana.
And the entire weight of the battle was turned against Saul. And the men who were archers pursued him. And he was severely wounded by the archers.
4 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, Bunutin mo ang iyong tabak at palagpasan mo ako niyaon; baka dumating ang mga hindi tuling ito at ako'y palagpasan, at ako'y kanilang pahirapan. Nguni't ayaw ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata; sapagka't siya'y totoong natakot. Kaya't kinuha ni Saul ang kaniyang tabak, at nagpakabuwal sa kaniyang tabak.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise these uncircumcised may come and kill me, mocking me.” And his armor bearer was not willing. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear. And so, Saul took his own sword, and he fell upon it.
5 At nang makita ng kaniyang tagadala ng sandata na si Saul ay patay, siya naman ay nagpakabuwal sa kaniyang tabak, at nagpakamatay na kasama niya.
And when his armor bearer had seen this, namely, that Saul had died, he too fell upon his sword, and he died with him.
6 Gayon namatay si Saul, at ang kaniyang tatlong anak, at ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, at ang lahat niyang mga lalake nang araw na yaon na magkakasama.
Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
7 At nang makita ng mga lalake sa Israel na nasa kabilang dako ng libis, at ng mga nasa dako roon ng Jordan, na ang mga lalake sa Israel ay tumakas, at si Saul at ang kaniyang mga anak ay namatay, kanilang iniwan ang mga bayan, at nagsitakas; at naparoon ang mga Filisteo, at tumahan sa mga yaon.
Then, seeing that the men of the Israelites had fled, and that Saul had died with his sons, the men of Israel who were across the valley or beyond the Jordan abandoned their cities, and they fled. And the Philistines went and lived there.
8 At nangyari nang kinabukasan nang ang mga Filisteo ay dumating upang hubaran ang mga patay, ay kanilang nasumpungan si Saul at ang kaniyang tatlong anak na nabuwal sa bundok ng Gilboa.
Then, when the next day arrived, the Philistines came, so that they might despoil the slain. And they found Saul and his three sons lying on mount Gilboa.
9 At kanilang pinugot ang kaniyang ulo, at hinubad ang kaniyang mga sakbat, at ipinadala sa lupain ng mga Filisteo sa palibot upang ibalita sa mga bahay ng kanilang mga diosdiosan at sa bayan.
And they cut off the head of Saul. And they despoiled him of the armor, and they sent it into the land of the Philistines all around, so that it might be announced in the temples of the idols and among their people.
10 At kanilang inilagay ang kaniyang sakbat, sa bahay ni Astaroth: at kanilang ibinitin ang bangkay niya sa kuta ng Beth-san.
And they placed his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth. But his body they suspended on the wall of Bethshan.
11 At nang mabalitaan ng mga tumatahan sa Jabes-galaad ang tungkol sa ginawa ng mga Filisteo kay Saul,
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 Lahat ng matapang na lalake ay bumangon at nagsilakad sa buong gabi at kinuha ang bangkay ni Saul at ang mga bangkay ng kaniyang mga anak sa kuta ng Beth-san; at sila'y naparoon sa Jabes, at kanilang pinagsunog doon.
all the most valiant men rose up, and they walked all night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan. And they went to Jabesh Gilead, and they burned them there.
13 At kanilang kinuha ang kanilang mga buto at ibinaon sa ilalim ng isang puno ng tamarisko sa Jabes, at nagayuno silang pitong araw.
And they took their bones, and they buried them in the forest of Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
