1 Samuel 31

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 The Philistines gave battle to Israel, and the Israelites, fleeing from the Philistines, fel and wereslaughtered on Mount Gilboa.	1 Filistejci su zavojštili na Izraelce, a Izraelci su pobjegli pred njima i padali pobijeni po gori Gilboi.
2 The Philistines bore down on Saul and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchishua,Saul's sons.	2 Filistejci stisnuše Šaula i njegove sinove i pogubiše Šaulove sinove Jonatana, Abinadaba i Malki-Šuu.
3 The fighting grew fiercer round Saul; the archers came upon him, and he was severely wounded	3 Boj je postao žešći oko Šaula. Iznenadiše ga strijelci s lukovima i on pade teško ranjen od strijelaca.
4 by the archers. Saul then said to his armour-bearer, 'Draw your sword and run me through with it; I donot want these uncircumcised men to come and make fun of me.' But his armour-bearer was very much afraidand would not do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on 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 His armour-bearer, seeing that Saul was dead, fel on his sword too 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 died Saul, his three sons and his armour-bearer, together on the same day.	6 Tako onoga dana pogiboše zajedno Šaul, njegova tri sina, njegov štitonoša i svi njegovi ljudi.
7 When the Israelites who were on the other side of the Jordan saw that the Israelites had been routedand that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and fled. The Philistines then came andoccupied them.	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 When the Philistines came on the fol owing day to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sonslying 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 his head and, stripping him of his armour, had these carried round the territory of thePhilistines to proclaim the good news to their idols and their 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 armour in the temple of Astarte; and his body they fastened to the wal s of Beth-Shean.	10 Potom oružje metnuše u Aštartin hram, a Šaulovo mrtvo tijelo pribiše na zid grada Bet Šana.
11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh in Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,	11 Ali kad oni u Jabešu Gileadskom čuše što su Filistejci učinili od Šaula,
12 the warriors al set out and, having marched al night, took the bodies of Saul and his sons off thewal s of Beth-Shean; they brought them to Jabesh and burned them there.	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 They then took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk of Jabesh, and fasted for sevendays.	13 Potom uzeše njihove kosti i ukopaše ih pod tamarisom u Jabešu i postiše sedam dana.
