< 1 Samuelova 31 >

1 A tak potýkali se Filistinští s Izraelem. Muži pak Izraelští utíkali před Filistinskými a padli, zbiti jsouce na hoře Gelboe.
And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
2 I stihali Filistinští Saule a syny jeho, a zabili Filistinští Jonatu a Abinadaba a Melchisua, syny Saulovy.
And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
3 Když se pak zsilila bitva proti Saulovi, trefili na něj střelci, muži s luky; i postřelen jest velmi od těch střelců.
And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
4 I řekl Saul oděnci svému: Vytrhni meč svůj a probodni mne jím, aby přijdouce ti neobřezanci, neprobodli mne, a neučinili sobě ze mne posměchu. Ale nechtěl oděnec jeho, nebo se bál velmi. A pochytiv Saul meč, nalehl na něj.
And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
5 Tedy vida oděnec jeho, že umřel Saul, nalehl i on na meč svůj a umřel s ním.
And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
6 A tak umřel Saul a tři synové jeho, a oděnec jeho, ano i všickni muži jeho v ten den spolu.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, in that day together.
7 Když pak uzřeli synové Izraelští, kteříž bydlili za tím údolím, a kteříž bydlili za Jordánem, že zutíkali muži Izraelští, nadto že Saul i synové jeho zahynuli, opustivše města, také utíkali. I přišli Filistinští a bydlili v nich.
And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 A když bylo nazejtří, přišli Filistinští, aby zloupili pobité; i nalezli Saule a tři syny jeho ležící na hoře Gelboe.
And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
9 I sťali hlavu jeho a svlékli odění jeho, a poslali po zemi Filistinské vůkol, aby to ohlášeno bylo v chrámě modl jejich i lidu.
And they turned him, and stripped off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
10 I složili odění jeho v chrámě Astarot, tělo pak jeho přibili na zdi Betsan.
And they set up his armour at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
11 Tedy uslyšavše o tom obyvatelé Jábes Galád, co učinili Filistinští Saulovi,
And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
12 Zdvihli se všickni muži silní, a jdouce celou noc, sňali tělo Saulovo i těla synů jeho se zdi Betsanské; a když se navrátili do Jábes, spálili je tam.
And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
13 A vzavše kosti jejich, pochovali je pod stromem v Jábes, a postili se sedm dní.
And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
