1 Samuel 31
1 Meanwhile the Philistines had attacked Israel, and the Israelite army ran away from them, and many were killed on Mount Gilboa.
A Filisteji se pobiše s Izrailjcima, i pobjegoše Izrailjci ispred Filisteja, i padahu mrtvi na gori Gelvuji.
2 The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons, killing Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
I stigoše Filisteji Saula i sinove njegove; i pogubiše Filisteji Jonatana i Avinadava i Melhi-Suva, sinove Saulove.
3 The fighting became very intense around Saul, and the arrows of the Philistine archers found their target, wounding Saul very badly.
I boj posta žešæi oko Saula, i naðoše ga strijelci, i on se vrlo uplaši od strijelaca.
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Take your sword and kill me, or these heathen men will come and kill and torture me!” But the armor-bearer didn't want to do it because he was too afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
I reèe Saul momku koji mu nošaše oružje: izvadi maè svoj i probodi me, da ne doðu ti neobrezani i probodu me i narugaju mi se. Ali ne htje momak što mu nošaše oružje, jer ga bješe vrlo strah. Tada Saul uze maè, i baci se na nj.
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died with him.
A kad momak koji nošaše oružje vidje Saula mrtva, baci se i on na svoj maè i umrije s njim.
6 Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all the men with him, died the same day.
Tako pogibe Saul i tri sina njegova i momak koji mu nošaše oružje i svi ljudi njegovi zajedno onoga dana.
7 When the Israelites who lived along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan realized that the Israelite army had run away, and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and they also ran away. So the Philistines came and took them over.
A Izrailjci koji bijahu s ovu stranu potoka i s ovu stranu Jordana kad vidješe gdje Izrailjci pobjegoše i gdje pogibe Saul i njegovi sinovi, ostaviše gradove i pobjegoše, te doðoše Filisteji i ostaše u njima.
8 The next day, when the Philistines went to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.
A sjutradan doðoše Filisteji da svlaèe mrtve; i naðoše Saula i tri sina njegova gdje leže na gori Gelvuji.
9 They cut off Saul's head, stripped him of his armor, and sent messengers throughout the country of the Philistines to announce the news in the temples of their idols and to their people.
I otsjekoše mu glavu, i skidoše oružje s njega, i poslaše u zemlju Filistejsku na sve strane da se objavi u kuæi njihovijeh lažnijeh bogova i po narodu.
10 They placed his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and nailed his body to the town wall of Beth-shan.
I ostaviše oružje njegovo u kuæi Astarotinoj, a tijelo njegovo objesiše na zid Vet-sanski.
11 However, when the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
A èuše stanovnici u Javisu Galadovu šta uèiniše Filisteji od Saula.
12 all their strong warriors set out, traveled all night, and took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they got back to Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.
I podigoše se svi ljudi hrabri, i išavši svu noæ skidoše tijelo Saulovo i tjelesa sinova njegovijeh sa zida Vet-sanskoga, pa se vratiše u Javis, i ondje ih spališe.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
I uzeše kosti njihove i pogreboše ih pod drvetom u Javisu, i postiše sedam dana.
