1 Tawarikh 10

¹Orang Filistin berperang melawan orang Israel. Orang-orang Israel melarikan diri dari hadapan orang Filistin dan banyak yang mati terbunuh di pegunungan Gilboa.

¹Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

²Orang Filistin terus mengejar Saul dan anak-anaknya dan menewaskan Yonatan, Abinadab dan Malkisua, anak-anak Saul.

²And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.

³Kemudian makin beratlah pertempuran itu bagi Saul; para pemanah menjumpainya dan melukainya.

³The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers.

⁴Lalu berkatalah Saul kepada pembawa senjatanya: "Hunuslah pedangmu dan tikamlah aku, supaya jangan datang orang-orang yang tidak bersunat ini memperlakukan aku sebagai permainan." Tetapi pembawa senjatanya tidak mau, karena ia sangat segan. Kemudian Saul mengambil pedang itu dan menjatuhkan dirinya ke atasnya.

⁴Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mistreat me." But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword and fell upon it.

⁵Ketika pembawa senjatanya melihat, bahwa Saul telah mati, iapun menjatuhkan dirinya ke atas pedangnya, lalu mati.

⁵And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.

⁶Jadi Saul, ketiga anaknya dan segenap keluarganya sama-sama mati.

⁶Thus Saul died; he and his three sons and all his house died together.

⁷Ketika dilihat seluruh orang Israel yang di lembah, bahwa tentara telah melarikan diri, dan bahwa Saul serta anak-anaknya sudah mati, maka mereka meninggalkan kota-kota mereka lalu melarikan diri juga; kemudian datanglah orang Filistin dan menetap di sana.

⁷And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.

⁸Ketika keesokan harinya orang Filistin datang merampasi orang-orang yang mati terbunuh itu, didapati mereka Saul dan anak-anaknya tergelimpang di pegunungan Gilboa.

⁸The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

⁹Mereka merampasinya dan mengambil kepala Saul dan senjata-senjatanya, lalu menyuruh orang berkeliling di negeri orang Filistin untuk menyampaikan kabar itu kepada berhala-berhala mereka dan kepada rakyat.

⁹And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people.

¹⁰Kemudian mereka menaruh senjata-senjata Saul di kuil allah mereka, tetapi batu kepalanya dipakukan mereka di rumah Dagon.

¹⁰And they put his armor in the temple of their gods and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

¹¹Ketika seluruh Yabesh-Gilead mendengar tentang segala yang telah dilakukan orang Filistin terhadap Saul,

¹¹But when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

¹²maka bersiaplah segenap orang gagah perkasa, lalu pergi mengambil mayat Saul dan mayat anak-anaknya. Mereka membawanya ke Yabesh dan menguburkan tulang-tulang mereka di bawah pohon besar, di Yabesh. Sesudah itu berpuasalah mereka tujuh hari lamanya.

¹²all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.

¹³Demikianlah Saul mati karena perbuatannya yang tidak setia terhadap TUHAN, oleh karena ia tidak berpegang pada firman TUHAN, dan juga karena ia telah meminta petunjuk dari arwah,

¹³So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the LORD in that he did not keep the command of the LORD, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance.

¹⁴dan tidak meminta petunjuk TUHAN. Sebab itu TUHAN membunuh dia dan menyerahkan jabatan raja itu kepada Daud bin Isai.

¹⁴He did not seek guidance from the LORD. Therefore the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
