BIBBIA TINTORI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Venuti a battaglia i Filistei contro Israele, gli uomini d'Israele fuggirono davanti ai Palestini, e caddero feriti sul monte Gelboe.	1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from the Philistines, and they fell down wounded on mount Gilboa.
2 Avanzatisi i Filistei nell'inseguire Saul e i suoi figli, uccisero Gionata, Abinadab e Melchisua figli di Saul.	2 And when the Philistines had draw near, pursuing Saul and his sons, they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 La battaglia divenne più accanita contro Saul: gli arcieri lo raggiunsero e lo colpirono colle frecce.	3 And the battle grew heavy against Saul. And the archers found him, and they wounded him with arrows.
4 Allora Saul disse al suo scudiere: « Sfodera la tua spada e uccidimi chè non vengano questi incirconcisi a oltraggiarmi ». Ma lo scudiere pieno di spavento non accondiscese. Saul allora afferrò la sua spada e vi si gettò sopra.	4 And Saul said to his armor bearer: “Unsheathe your sword and kill me. Otherwise, these uncircumcised men may arrive and mock me.” But his armor bearer was not willing, having been struck with fear. And so, Saul took hold of his sword, and he fell upon it.
5 Veduto ciò, e che Saul era morto, anche il suo scudiere si gettò sopra la sua spada e morì.	5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.
6 Così perì Saul e i suoi tre figli, e rovinò anche tutta la sua casa.	6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.
7 Veduto questo, gli uomini d'Israele che abitavano nelle pianure fuggirono, e, morto che fu Saul con i suoi figli, abbandonarono le loro città per disperdersi qua e là e andarono ad abitarle i Filistei.	7 And when the men of Israel who were living in the plains had seen this, they fled. And since Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and were dispersed, here and there. And the Philistines arrived and lived among them.
8 Il giorno dopo, i Filistei, andati a raccogliere le spoglie degli uccisi, trovarono Saul e i suoi figli stesi sul monte di Gelboe.	8 Then, on the next day, when the Philistines were taking away the spoils of the slain, they found Saul and his sons, lying on mount Gilboa.
9 Spogliatolo, tagliatagli la testa e presene le armi, lo mandarono nel loro paese, affinchè fosse portato in giro e fatto vedere nei templi degli idoli e alla gente.	9 And when they had despoiled him, and had cut off his head, and had stripped his armor, they sent these things into their land, so that they would be carried around and displayed in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10 Le sue armi le consacrarono nel tempio del loro dio; la testa l'affissero nel tempio di Dagon.	10 But his armor they consecrated in the shrine of their god, and his head they affixed in the temple of Dagon.
11 Or gli uomini di Iabes di Galaad, udito quanto i Filistei avevano fatto a Saul,	11 When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,
12 tutti i valorosi si mossero, andarono a togliere i cadaveri di Saul e dei suoi figli, e, portatili a Iabes, seppellirono le loro ossa sotto la quercia in Iabes, e digiunarono sette giorni.	12 each one of the valiant men rose up, and they took the bodies of Saul and of his sons. And they brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
13 Così morì Saul per le sue iniquità: per aver trasgredito il comando fattogli dal Signore. Oltre a non osservarlo, consultò anche la pitonessa	13 Thus did Saul die for his iniquities, because he betrayed the commandment of the Lord which he had instructed, and did not keep it. And moreover, he even consulted a woman diviner;
14 e non sperò nel Signore. Ecco perchè Egli lo fece morire e trasferì il regno di lui a David figlio d'Isai.	14 for he did not trust in the Lord. Because of this, he caused his death, and he transferred his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
