1 Chronicles 10
1 The army of Philistia [again] fought against the Israelis. The Israeli soldiers ran away from them, and many Israelis were killed {the soldiers of Philistia killed many Israelis} on Gilboa Mountain.
Les Philistins firent la guerre à Israël; les hommes d'Israël s'enfuirent devant les Philistins, et tombèrent morts sur la montagne de Guilboa.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Les Philistins poursuivirent Saül et ses fils, et ils tuèrent Jonathan, Abinadab et Malkischua, fils de Saül.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
La bataille s'acharna sur Saül, et les archers l'atteignirent; il fut troublé par les archers.
4 Saul said to the man who was carrying his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me with it, in order that these heathen Philistines will not be able to injure me [further] and make fun of me [while I am dying].” But the man who was carrying Saul’s weapons was terrified and refused to do that. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it [and died].
Alors Saül dit à celui qui portait son armure: « Tire ton épée, et transperce-moi avec, de peur que ces incirconcis ne viennent me maltraiter. » Mais son porteur d'armure ne voulait pas, car il était terrifié. Alors Saül prit son épée et s'y jeta.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Lorsque le porteur de la cuirasse vit que Saül était mort, il tomba aussi sur son épée et mourut.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Saül mourut avec ses trois fils, et toute sa maison mourut ensemble.
7 When the Israelis who were living in the valley saw that their army had run away and that Saul and his three sons were dead, they left their towns and ran away. Then the soldiers from Philistia came and (occupied/lived in) those towns.
Lorsque tous les hommes d'Israël qui étaient dans la vallée virent qu'ils s'enfuyaient et que Saül et ses fils étaient morts, ils abandonnèrent leurs villes et s'enfuirent, et les Philistins vinrent s'y installer.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to take away the weapons of the dead [Israeli soldiers], they found the corpses of Saul and his three sons on Gilboa Mountain.
Le lendemain, lorsque les Philistins vinrent dépouiller les morts, ils trouvèrent Saül et ses fils tombés sur la montagne de Gilboa.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
Ils le dépouillèrent, prirent sa tête et son armure, puis envoyèrent dans le pays des Philistins tout autour porter la nouvelle à leurs idoles et au peuple.
10 Then they sent messengers throughout their land, to proclaim the news throughout their own area, to their idols and to the other people. They put Saul’s armor in the temple where their idols were, and they hung Saul’s head in the temple of [their god] Dagon.
Ils mirent son armure dans la maison de leurs dieux, et fixèrent sa tête dans la maison de Dagon.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
Lorsque tout Jabesh Galaad apprit tout ce que les Philistins avaient fait à Saül,
12 So the bravest men/soldiers of Jabesh went and got the corpses of Saul and his sons and brought them back to Jabesh. They buried their bones under a large tree in Jabesh. Then the people of Jabesh (fasted/abstained from eating food) for seven days.
tous les vaillants hommes se levèrent et emportèrent le corps de Saül et les corps de ses fils, les transportèrent à Jabesh, enterrèrent leurs os sous le chêne à Jabesh et jeûnèrent sept jours.
13 Saul died because he did not faithfully obey what Yahweh told him to do. He even went to a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people and asked her what he should do,
Saül mourut donc à cause de la faute qu'il avait commise contre l'Éternel, à cause de la parole de l'Éternel qu'il n'avait pas observée, et aussi parce qu'il avait demandé conseil à un esprit familier pour s'informer,
14 instead of asking Yahweh what he should do. So Yahweh caused him to die, and he appointed David, the son of Jesse, to be the king [of Israel].
et qu'il n'avait pas consulté l'Éternel. Il le fit donc mourir, et remit le royaume à David, fils de Jessé.
