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.
Los filisteos combatieron contra Israel. Los hombres de Israel huyeron de los filisteos y cayeron muertos en la montaña Gilboa.
2 The soldiers of Philistia caught up with Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Los filisteos siguieron de cerca a Saúl y a sus hijos. Mataron a Jonatán, a Abinadab y a Malquisúa, hijos de Saúl.
3 The fighting was very fierce around Saul, and the (archers/men who shot arrows) shot Saul and wounded him severely.
Arreció la batalla contra Saúl. Los flecheros lo alcanzaron y fue herido por ellos.
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].
Entonces Saúl dijo a su escudero: Saca tu espada y traspásame con ella, no sea que estos incircuncisos vengan y me escarnezcan. Pero su escudero no quiso, porque tenía gran temor. Entonces Saúl tomó la espada y se echó sobre ella.
5 When the man carrying his weapons saw that Saul was dead, he also threw himself on his own sword and died.
Al ver que Saúl moría, su escudero también se echó sobre la suya y murió.
6 So Saul and three of his sons all died, and none of his descendants ever became king.
Así murió Saúl con sus tres hijos. Todos los de su casa murieron juntamente con él.
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.
Cuando todos los hombres de Israel que estaban en el valle vieron que Saúl y sus hijos murieron, abandonaron sus ciudades y huyeron. Entonces los filisteos vinieron y vivieron en ellas.
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.
El día siguiente aconteció que los filisteos fueron a despojar a los muertos y hallaron a Saúl y a sus hijos tendidos en la montaña Gilboa.
9 They took the clothes off Saul’s corpse and [cut off] his head and took it and Saul’s armor.
Lo despojaron y tomaron su cabeza y sus armas. Enviaron mensajeros por toda la tierra de los filisteos para dar las noticias a sus ídolos y al pueblo.
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.
Colgaron sus armas en el templo de sus ʼelohim y clavaron su cabeza en el templo de Dagón.
11 All the people who lived in Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s [corpse].
Cuando todos los de Jabes de Galaad oyeron todo lo que los filisteos hicieron a Saúl,
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.
se levantaron todos los hombres valientes, tomaron los cadáveres de Saúl y sus hijos y los llevaron a Jabes. Sepultaron sus restos debajo del roble de Jabes y ayunaron siete días.
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,
Así murió Saúl a causa de su infidelidad que cometió contra Yavé, contra la Palabra de Yavé, la cual no guardó. Aun consultó a una evocadora de espíritus de muertos,
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].
y no consultó a Yavé. Por esa causa lo mató y traspasó el reino a David, hijo de Isaí.
