1 Samuel 31
1 Torej Filistejci so se borili zoper Izrael in Izraelci so pobegnili pred Filistejci in padli dol, umorjeni na gori Gilbói.
And the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelboe.
2 Filistejci so tesno sledili Savlu in njegovim sinovom in Filistejci so usmrtili Jonatana, Abinadába in Malkišúa, Savlove sinove.
And the Philistines fell upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they slew Jonathan, and Abinadab and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 Bitka je postala huda zoper Savla in lokostrelci so ga zadeli; in bil je hudo ranjen od lokostrelcev.
And the whole weight of the battle was turned upon Saul: and the archers overtook him, and he was grievously wounded by 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 armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon 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.
And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon 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, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, 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.
And the men of Israel, that were beyond the valley, and beyond the Jordan, seeing that the Israelites were fled, and that Saul was dead, and his sons, forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came, and dwelt there.
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.
And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe.
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.
And they cut off Saul’s head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols, and among their people.
10 Njegovo bojno opremo so položili v hišo Astarte. Njegovo telo pa so pritrdili na obzidje Bet Šeána.
And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan.
11 Ko so prebivalci Jabéš Gileáda slišali o tem, kar so Filistejci storili Savlu,
Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that 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 most valiant men arose, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Bethsan: and they came to Jabes Galaad, and burnt them there:
13 In vzeli so njihove kosti in jih pokopali pod drevesom pri Jabéšu in se postili sedem dni.
And they took their bones and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days.
