1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
А Филистеји се побише с Израиљцима, и побегоше Израиљци испред Филистеја, и падаху мртви на гори Гелвуји.
2 The Philistines followed hard on Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua, the sons of Saul.
И стигоше Филистеји Саула и синове његове; и погубише Филистеји Јонатана и Авинадава и Мелхи-Сува, синове Саулове.
3 The battle was fierce against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers.
И бој поста жешћи око Саула, и нађоше га стрелци, и он се врло уплаши од стрелаца.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and torture me." But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
И рече Саул момку који му ношаше оружје: Извади мач свој и прободи ме, да не дођу ти необрезани и прободу ме и наругају ми се. Али не хте момак што му ношаше оружје, јер га беше врло страх. Тада Саул узе мач, и баци се на њ.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
А кад момак који ношаше оружје виде Саула мртвог, баци се и он на свој мач и умре с њим.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Тако погибе Саул и три сина његовог и момак који му ношаше оружје и сви људи његови заједно, оног дана.
7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
А Израиљци који беху с ове стране потока и с ову страну Јордана кад видеше где Израиљци побегоше и где погибе Саул и његови синови, оставише градове и побегоше, те дођоше Филистеји и осташе у њима.
8 It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
А сутрадан дођоше Филистеји да свлаче мртве; и нађоше Саула и три сина његовог где леже на гори Гелвуји.
9 They cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
И одсекоше му главу, и скидоше оружје с њега, и послаше у земљу филистејску на све стране да се објави у кући његових лажних богова и по народу.
10 They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
И оставише оружје његово у кући Астаротиној, а тело његово обесише на зид вет-сански.
11 But when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
А чуше становници у Јавису Галадовом шта учинише Филистеји од Саула.
12 all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and brought them to Jabesh and burnt them there.
И подигоше се сви људи храбри, и ишавши сву ноћ скидоше тело Саулово и телеса синова његових са зида вет-санског, па се вратише у Јавис, и онде их спалише.
13 They took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
И узеше кости њихове и погребоше их под дрветом у Јавису, и постише седам дана.
