1 Chronik 10
1 Die Philister stritten wider Israel. Und die von Israel flohen vor den Philistern, und fielen die Erschlagenen auf dem Berge 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 Aber die Philister hingen sich an Saul und seine Söhne hinter ihnen her und schlugen Jonathan, Abinadab und Malchisua, die Söhne Sauls.
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 Und der Streit ward hart wider Saul; und die Bogenschützen kamen an ihn, daß er von den Schützen verwundet ward.
And the fight was going against Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.
4 Da sprach Saul zu seinem Waffenträger: Zeuch dein Schwert aus und erstich mich damit, daß diese Unbeschnittenen nicht kommen und schändlich mit mir umgehen. Aber sein Waffenträger wollte nicht; denn er fürchtete sich sehr. Da nahm Saul sein Schwert und fiel drein.
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 Da aber sein Waffenträger sah, daß Saul tot war, fiel er auch ins Schwert und starb.
And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.
6 Also starb Saul und seine drei Söhne und sein ganzes Haus zugleich.
So death overtook Saul and his three sons; all his family came to an end together.
7 Da aber die Männer Israels, die im Grunde waren, sahen, daß sie geflohen waren, und daß Saul und seine Söhne tot waren, verließen sie ihre Städte und flohen; und die Philister kamen und wohneten drinnen.
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 Des andern Morgens kamen die Philister, die Erschlagenen auszuziehen, und fanden Saul und seine Söhne liegen auf dem Berge 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 und zogen ihn aus und huben auf sein Haupt und seine Waffen und sandten es ins Land der Philister umher und ließen's verkündigen vor ihren Götzen und dem Volk;
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 und legten seine Waffen ins Haus ihres Gottes, und seinen Schädel hefteten sie an das Haus Dagons.
And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Da aber alle die zu Jabes in Gilead höreten alles, was die Philister Saul getan hatten,
And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 machten sie sich auf, alle streitbaren Männer, und nahmen den Leichnam Sauls und seiner Söhne und brachten sie gen Jabes und begruben ihre Gebeine unter der Eiche zu Jabes; und fasteten sieben Tage.
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 Also starb Saul in seiner Missetat, die er wider den HERRN getan hatte an dem Wort des HERRN, das er nicht hielt, auch daß er die Wahrsagerin fragte
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 und fragte den HERRN nicht; darum tötete er ihn und wandte das Königreich zu David, dem Sohn Isais.
And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
