Paralipomenon I 10

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Philisthiim autem pugnabant contra Israël, fugeruntque viri Israël Palæsthinos, et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboë.	1 Now the Philistines were at war with Israel; the Israelites fled before the Philistines, and a number of them fell, slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Cumque appropinquassent Philisthæi, persequentes Saul et filios ejus, percusserunt Jonathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul.	2 The Philistines pressed hard after Saul and his sons. When the Philistines had killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul,
3 Et aggravatum est prælium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii, et vulneraverunt jaculis.	3 the whole fury of the battle descended upon Saul. Then the archers found him, and wounded him with their arrows.
4 Et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum : Evagina gladium tuum, et interfice me, ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti, et illudant mihi. Noluit autem armiger ejus hoc facere, timore perterritus : arripuit ergo Saul ensem, et irruit in eum.	4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, that these uncircumcised may not come and maltreat me." But the armor-bearer, in great fear, refused. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it;
5 Quod cum vidisset armiger ejus, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum, et mortuus est.	5 and seeing him dead, the armor-bearer also fell on his sword and died.
6 Interiit ergo Saul : et tres filii ejus, et omnis domus illius pariter concidit.	6 Thus, with Saul and his three sons, his whole house died at one time.
7 Quod cum vidissent viri Israël qui habitabant in campestribus, fugerunt : et Saul ac filiis ejus mortuis, dereliquerunt urbes suas, et huc illucque dispersi sunt : veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt in eis.	7 When all the Israelites who were in the valley saw that Saul and his sons had died in the rout, they left their cities and fled; thereupon the Philistines came and occupied them.
8 Die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthiim spolia cæsorum, invenerunt Saul et filios ejus jacentes in monte Gelboë.	8 On the following day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons where they had fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Cumque spoliassent eum, et amputassent caput, armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam, ut circumferretur, et ostenderetur idolorum templis, et populis :	9 They stripped him, cut off his head, and took his armor; these they sent throughout the land of the Philistines to convey the good news to their idols and their people.
10 arma autem ejus consecraverunt in fano dei sui, et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.	10 His armor they put in the house of their gods, but his skull they impaled on the temple of Dagon.
11 Hoc cum audissent viri Jabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quæ Philisthiim fecerant super Saul,	11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead had heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 consurrexerunt singuli virorum fortium, et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum ejus : attuleruntque ea in Jabes, et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quæ erat in Jabes, et jejunaverunt septem diebus.	12 its warriors rose to a man, recovered the bodies of Saul and his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak of Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitates suas, eo quod prævaricatus sit mandatum Domini quod præceperat, et non custodierit illud : sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit,	13 Thus Saul died because of his rebellion against the LORD in disobeying his command, and also because he had sought counsel of a necromancer,
14 nec speraverit in Domino : propter quod interfecit eum, et transtulit regnum ejus ad David filium Isai.	14 and had not rather inquired of the LORD. Therefore the LORD slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
