1 Samuel 31
1 Now, as, the Philistines, were fighting against Israel, the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain, in Mount Gilboa.
非利士人与以色列人争战。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被杀仆倒的。
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们，就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单、亚比拿达、麦基舒亚。
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers discovered him, —and he was terrified at the archers.
势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，
4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer—Draw thy sword and pierce me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come, and pierce me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer was not willing, for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell thereon.
就吩咐拿他兵器的人说：“你拔出刀来，将我刺死，免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我，凌辱我。”但拿兵器的人甚惧怕，不肯刺他；扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了。
5 And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also, fell upon his sword, and died with him.
拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
6 Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, yea all his men, on that day, together.
这样，扫罗和他三个儿子，与拿他兵器的人，以及跟随他的人，都一同死亡。
7 And, when the men of Israel who were across the vale, and who were across the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled, and the Philistines entered, and took up their abode therein.
住平原那边并约旦河西的以色列人，见以色列军兵逃跑，扫罗和他儿子都死了，也就弃城逃跑。非利士人便来住在其中。
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul, and his three sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
次日，非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服，看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山，
9 So they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and unto the people.
就割下他的首级，剥了他的军装，打发人到非利士地的四境，报信与他们庙里的偶像和众民；
10 And they put his armour in a house of Ashtoreths, —and, his dead body, fastened they on the wall of Beth-shan.
又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯·珊的城墙上。
11 And, when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, what the Philistines had done unto Saul,
基列·雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，
12 then arose all the men of valour, and journeyed all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-shan, —and came to Jabesh, and burned them there;
他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯·珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了；
13 and took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, —and fasted seven days.
将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下，就禁食七日。
