1 Samuel 31

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 As they pressed their attack on Israel, with the Israelites fleeing before them and falling mortally wounded on Mount Gilboa,	1 Filistejci su zavojštili na Izraelce, a Izraelci su pobjegli pred njima i padali pobijeni po gori Gilboi.
2 the Philistines pursued Saul and his sons closely, and slew Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.	2 Filistejci stisnuše Šaula i njegove sinove i pogubiše Šaulove sinove Jonatana, Abinadaba i Malki-Šuu.
3 The battle raged around Saul, and the archers hit him; he was pierced through the abdomen.	3 Boj je postao žešći oko Šaula. Iznenadiše ga strijelci s lukovima i on pade teško ranjen od strijelaca.
4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, lest these uncircumcised come and make sport of me." But his armor-bearer, badly frightened, refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell upon it.	4 Šaul tada reče svome štitonoši: »Izvuci svoj mač i probodi me da ne dođu ti neobrezanici i ne narugaju mi se.« Ali se njegov štitonoša prestravi i ne htjede toga učiniti. Zato Šaul uze mač i baci se na nj.
5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell upon his sword and died with him.	5 Kad je štitonoša vidio da je Šaul umro, baci se i on na svoj mač i umrije s njim.
6 Thus Saul, his three sons, and his armor-bearer died together on that same day.	6 Tako onoga dana pogiboše zajedno Šaul, njegova tri sina, njegov štitonoša i svi njegovi ljudi.
7 When the Israelites on the slope of the valley and those along the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they too abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and lived in those cities.	7 Kad Izraelci koji bijahu na drugoj strani doline i na drugoj strani Jordana vidješe da su sinovi Izraelovi pobjegli i da je poginuo Šaul sa sinovima, ostaviše svoje gradove te se razbježaše. Filistejci dođoše i nastaniše se u njima.
8 The day after the battle the Philistines came to strip the slain, and found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.	8 Kad su sutradan došli Filistejci da oplijene pobijeđene, nađoše Šaula i njegova tri sina gdje leže na gori Gilboi.
9 They cut off Saul's head and stripped him of his armor, and then sent the good news throughout the land of the Philistines to their idols and to the people.	9 Oni mu odsjekoše glavu i skidoše s njega oružje, koje poslaše po svoj filistejskoj zemlji naokolo, javljajući veselu vijest svojim idolima i narodu.
10 They put his armor in the temple of Astarte, but impaled his body on the wall of Bethshan.	10 Potom oružje metnuše u Aštartin hram, a Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo pribiše na zid grada Bet Šana.
11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,	11 Ali kad oni u Jabešu Gileadskom čuše što su Filistejci učinili od Šaula,
12 all their warriors set out, and after marching throughout the night, removed the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and brought them to Jabesh, where they cremated them.	12 ustadoše svi hrabri ljudi i, pošto su hodili svu noć, uzeše Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo i tjelesa njegovih sinova sa zida grada Bet Šana pa ih donesoše u Jabeš i ondje spališe.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.	13 Potom uzeše njihove kosti i ukopaše ih pod tamarisom u Jabešu i postiše sedam dana.
