1 Samuel 31
1 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.
非利士人與以色列人爭戰。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被殺仆倒的。
2 And the Philistines rushed upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
非利士人緊追掃羅和他兒子們，就殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達、麥基舒亞。
3 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.
勢派甚大，掃羅被弓箭手追上，射傷甚重，
4 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.
就吩咐拿他兵器的人說：「你拔出刀來，將我刺死，免得那些未受割禮的人來刺我，凌辱我。」但拿兵器的人甚懼怕，不肯刺他；掃羅就自己伏在刀上死了。
5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, namely, that Saul had died, he too fell upon his sword, and he died with him.
拿兵器的人見掃羅已死，也伏在刀上死了。
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
這樣，掃羅和他三個兒子，與拿他兵器的人，以及跟隨他的人，都一同死亡。
7 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.
住平原那邊並約旦河西的以色列人，見以色列軍兵逃跑，掃羅和他兒子都死了，也就棄城逃跑。非利士人便來住在其中。
8 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.
次日，非利士人來剝那被殺之人的衣服，看見掃羅和他三個兒子仆倒在基利波山，
9 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.
就割下他的首級，剝了他的軍裝，打發人到 非利士地的四境，報信與他們廟裏的偶像和眾民；
10 And they placed his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth. But his body they suspended on the wall of Bethshan.
又將掃羅的軍裝放在亞斯她錄廟裏，將他的屍身釘在伯‧珊的城牆上。
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
基列‧雅比的居民聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的事，
12 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.
他們中間所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，將掃羅和他兒子的屍身從伯‧珊城牆上取下來，送到雅比那裏，用火燒了；
13 And they took their bones, and they buried them in the forest of Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
將他們骸骨葬在雅比的垂絲柳樹下，就禁食七日。
