¹وحارب الفلسطينيون اسرائيل فهرب رجال اسرائيل من امام الفلسطينيين وسقطوا قتلى في جبل جلبوع.

¹And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,

²وشدّ الفلسطينيون وراء شاول ووراء بنيه وضرب الفلسطينيون يوناثان وابيناداب وملكيشوع ابناء شاول.

²and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.

³واشتدّت الحرب على شاول فاصابته رماة القسي فانجرح من الرماة.

³And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,

⁴فقال شاول لحامل سلاحه استلّ سيفك واطعنّي به لئلا ياتي هؤلاء الغلف ويطعنوني ويقبحوني. فلم يشأ حامل سلاحه لانه خاف جدا. فاخذ شاول السيف وسقط عليه.

⁴and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, `Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come — and have abused me.` And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;

⁵فلما رأى حامل سلاحه انه قد مات شاول سقط هو ايضا على السيف ومات.

⁵and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;

⁶فمات شاول وبنوه الثلاثة وكل بيته ماتوا معا.

⁶and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.

⁷ولما رأى جميع رجال اسرائيل الذين في الوادي انهم قد هربوا وان شاول وبنيه قد ماتوا تركوا مدنهم وهربوا فأتى الفلسطينيون وسكنوا بها

⁷And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.

⁸وفي الغد لما جاء الفلسطينيون ليعرّوا القتلى وجدوا شاول وبنيه ساقطين في جبل جلبوع.

⁸And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,

⁹فعرّوه واخذوا راسه وسلاحه وارسلوا الى ارض الفلسطينيين في كل ناحية لاجل تبشير اصنامهم والشعب.

⁹and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people,

¹⁰ووضعوا سلاحه في بيت آلهتهم وسمّروا راسه في بيت داجون.

¹⁰and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.

¹¹ولما سمع كل يابيش جلعاد بكل ما فعل الفلسطينيون بشاول

¹¹And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,

¹²قام كل ذي بأس وأخذوا جثة شاول وجثث بنيه وجاءوا بها الى يابيش ودفنوا عظامهم تحت البطمة في يابيش وصاموا سبعة ايام.

¹²and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.

¹³فمات شاول بخيانته التي بها خان الرب من اجل كلام الرب الذي لم يحفظه. وايضا لاجل طلبه الى الجان للسؤال

¹³And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit — to inquire, —

¹⁴ولم يسأل من الرب فاماته وحوّل المملكة الى داود بن يسّى

¹⁴and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
