The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 Philisthim autem pugnabant adversum Israhel et fugerunt viri Israhel ante faciem Philisthim et ceciderunt interfecti in monte Gelboe
1
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa.
2 inrueruntque Philisthim in Saul et filios eius et percusserunt Ionathan et Abinadab et Melchisue filios Saul
2
The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua.
3 totumque pondus proelii versum est in Saul et consecuti sunt eum viri sagittarii et vulneratus est vehementer a sagittariis
3
The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him critically.
4 dixitque Saul ad armigerum suum evagina gladium tuum et percute me ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti et interficiant me inludentes mihi et noluit armiger eius fuerat enim nimio timore perterritus arripuit itaque Saul gladium et inruit super eum
4
Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.” But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 quod cum vidisset armiger eius videlicet quod mortuus esset Saul inruit etiam ipse super gladium suum et mortuus est cum eo
5
When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him.
6 mortuus est ergo Saul et tres filii eius et armiger illius et universi viri eius in die illa pariter
6
So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day.
7 videntes autem viri Israhel qui erant trans vallem et trans Iordanem quod fugissent viri israhelitae et quod mortuus esset Saul et filii eius reliquerunt civitates suas et fugerunt veneruntque Philisthim et habitaverunt ibi
7
When the Israelites along the valley and those across the Jordan saw that the Israelite army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.
8 facta autem die altera venerunt Philisthim ut spoliarent interfectos et invenerunt Saul et tres filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe
8
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 et praeciderunt caput Saul et expoliaverunt eum armis et miserunt in terram Philisthinorum per circuitum ut adnuntiaretur in templo idolorum et in populis
9
They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and they sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.
10 et posuerunt arma eius in templo Astharoth corpus vero eius suspenderunt in muro Bethsan
10
They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
11 quod cum audissent habitatores Iabesgalaad quaecumque fecerant Philisthim Saul
11
When the people of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 surrexerunt omnes viri fortissimi et ambulaverunt tota nocte et tulerunt cadaver Saul et cadavera filiorum eius de muro Bethsan veneruntque Iabes et conbuserunt ea ibi
12
all their valiant men marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.
13 et tulerunt ossa eorum et sepelierunt in nemore Iabes et ieiunaverunt septem diebus
13
Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
