Kings I 31
1 And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
Sementara itu orang Filistin berperang melawan orang Israel. Orang-orang Israel melarikan diri dari hadapan orang Filistin dan banyak yang mati terbunuh di pegunungan Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
Orang Filistin terus mengejar Saul dan anak-anaknya dan menewaskan Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua, anak-anak Saul.
3 And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
Kemudian makin beratlah pertempuran itu bagi Saul; para pemanah menjumpainya, dan melukainya dengan parah.
4 And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
Lalu berkatalah Saul kepada pembawa senjatanya: "Hunuslah pedangmu dan tikamlah aku, supaya jangan datang orang-orang yang tidak bersunat ini menikam aku dan memperlakukan aku sebagai permainan." Tetapi pembawa senjatanya tidak mau, karena ia sangat segan. Kemudian Saul mengambil pedang itu dan menjatuhkan dirinya ke atasnya.
5 And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
Ketika pembawa senjatanya melihat, bahwa Saul telah mati, iapun menjatuhkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati bersama-sama dengan Saul.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, in that day together.
Jadi Saul, ketiga anaknya dan pembawa senjatanya, dan seluruh tentaranya sama-sama mati pada hari itu.
7 And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
Ketika dilihat orang-orang Israel, yang di seberang lembah dan yang di seberang sungai Yordan, bahwa tentara Israel telah melarikan diri, dan bahwa Saul serta anak-anaknya sudah mati, maka mereka meninggalkan kota-kota mereka lalu melarikan diri juga; kemudian datanglah orang Filistin dan menetap di sana.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
Ketika keesokan harinya orang Filistin datang merampasi orang-orang yang mati terbunuh itu, didapati mereka Saul dan ketiga anaknya tergelimpang di pegunungan Gilboa.
9 And they turned him, and stripped off his armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
Mereka memancung kepala Saul, merampas senjata-senjatanya dan menyuruh orang berkeliling di negeri orang Filistin untuk menyampaikan kabar itu di kuil berhalanya dan kepada rakyat.
10 And they set up his armor at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
Kemudian mereka menaruh senjata-senjata Saul di kuil Asytoret, dan mayatnya dipakukan mereka di tembok kota Bet-Sean.
11 And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
Ketika penduduk Yabesh-Gilead mendengar tentang apa yang telah dilakukan orang Filistin kepada Saul,
12 And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
maka bersiaplah segenap orang gagah perkasa, mereka berjalan terus semalam-malaman, lalu mengambil mayat Saul dan mayat anak-anaknya dari tembok kota Bet-Sean. Kemudian pulanglah mereka ke Yabesh dan membakar mayat-mayat itu di sana.
13 And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
Mereka mengambil tulang-tulangnya lalu menguburkannya di bawah pohon tamariska di Yabesh. Sesudah itu berpuasalah mereka tujuh hari lamanya.
