1 Tawarikh 10
1 Orang Filistin berperang dengan orang Israel. Mereka bertempur di pegunungan Gilboa. Banyak orang Israel tewas di situ, dan sisanya termasuk Raja Saul dan putra-putranya melarikan diri.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
2 Tetapi mereka disusul oleh orang Filistin dan tiga orang di antara putra-putra Saul dibunuh, yaitu Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua.
And the Philistines pursuing them overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
3 Pertempuran amat sengit di sekitar Saul, dan ia sendiri kena panah-panah musuh sehingga luka.
And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
4 Maka kata Saul kepada pemuda yang membawa senjatanya, "Cabutlah pedangmu dan tikamlah aku supaya jangan aku dipermainkan oleh orang Filistin yang tak mengenal TUHAN itu." Tetapi pemuda itu tidak mau menikam Saul karena ia sangat takut. Sebab itu Saul mengambil pedangnya sendiri dan merebahkan dirinya ke atas pedang itu.
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid: wherefore Saul took the sword and fell upon it.
5 Ketika pemuda itu melihat bahwa Saul sudah mati, ia pun merebahkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati.
And when the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise on the sword, and died.
6 Maka meninggallah Saul bersama ketiga putranya, dan dengan itu berakhirlah juga dinastinya.
Thus died Saul and his three sons; and all his household died together.
7 Ketika semua orang Israel yang tinggal di lembah Yizreel mendengar bahwa tentara Israel telah melarikan diri, dan bahwa Saul serta putra-putranya sudah tewas, mereka lari meninggalkan kota-kota mereka. Lalu orang Filistin menduduki kota-kota itu.
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead: they forsook their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Besoknya ketika orang Filistin datang untuk merampoki mayat-mayat, mereka menemukan Saul dan ketiga orang putranya sudah tewas di pegunungan Gilboa.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.
9 Mereka melepaskan baju perang Saul, dan memenggal kepalanya, lalu membawanya pergi. Kemudian mereka mengirim utusan ke seluruh negeri Filistin untuk menyampaikan kabar baik itu kepada bangsa dan dewa mereka.
And they stripped him, and they carried away his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
10 Baju perang Saul itu disimpan di dalam sebuah kuil mereka, dan kepalanya digantung di dalam rumah Dagon, dewa mereka.
And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and his skull they fastened in the temple of Dagon.
11 Ketika penduduk Yabes di Gilead mendengar apa yang telah dilakukan oleh orang Filistin terhadap Saul,
And when all Yabesh-gil'ad heard all the Philistines had done to Saul:
12 orang-orang yang paling berani di antara mereka pergi mengambil jenazah Saul dan putra-putranya, lalu membawanya ke Yabes. Mereka menguburkan dia di bawah sebuah pohon besar, kemudian mereka berpuasa tujuh hari lamanya.
Then arose all the valiant men, and carried away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh; and they buried their bones under the terebinth in Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saul meninggal karena ia tidak setia kepada TUHAN, dan tidak mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya. Ia tidak minta petunjuk dari TUHAN, melainkan dari roh-roh orang mati. Karena itu TUHAN menghukum dia dan menyerahkan takhtanya kepada Daud anak Isai.
And [so] died Saul for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he had not kept, and also for asking one of a familiar spirit to inquire of the same;
And had not inquired of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned over the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
