Liber I Regum

Philisthiim autem pugnabant adversum Israël: et fugerunt viri Israël ante faciem Philisthiim, et ceciderunt interfecti in monte Gelboë.

And the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelboe.

Philisthio autem pugna contra Israële: et viros Israële fuge ante facie Philisthio, et cade interfice in monte Gelbo.

Irrueruntque Philisthiim in Saul et in filios ejus, et percusserunt Jonathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul:

And the Philistines fell upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua, the sons of Saul.

Et Philisthio irrue in Saulo et in filios de illo, et percute Ionathane, et Abinadabe, et Melchisua filios Saulo:

totumque pondus prælii versum est in Saul, et consecuti sunt eum viri sagittarii, et vulneratus est vehementer a sagittariis.

And the whole weight of the battle was turned upon Saul: and the archers overtook him, and he was grievously wounded by the archers.

Et toto pondere de praelio verte es in Saulo, et consequor es illo viros sagittarios, et vulnera es vehementer ab sagittarios.

Dixitque Saul ad armigerum suum: Evagina gladium tuum, et percute me: ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti, et interficiant me, illudentes mihi. Et noluit armiger ejus: fuerat enim nimio terrore perterritus. Arripuit itaque Saul gladium, et irruit super eum.

Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.

Et Saulo dic ad armegro suo: evagi gladio tuo, et percute me: ne forte veni incircumca isto, et interfice me, illude ad me. Et armigera de illo ne vol: es nam nimia terrore perterre. Saulo itaque rrripesca gladio, et irrue super illo.

Quod cum vidisset armiger ejus, videlicet quod mortuus esset Saul, irruit etiam ipse super gladium suum, et mortuus est cum eo.

And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him.

Armigera cum de illo vide quod, videlicet quod morto es Saulo, etiam ipso irrue super gladio suo, et morto es cum eo.

Mortuus est ergo Saul, et tres filii ejus, et armiger illius, et universi viri ejus in die illa pariter.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men that same day together.

Morto es ergo Saulo, et tre filio de illo, et armigera de illo, et universa viros de illo in die illa pariter.

Videntes autem viri Israël qui erant trans vallem et trans Jordanem, quod fugissent viri Israëlitæ, et quod mortuus esset Saul et filii ejus, reliquerunt civitates suas, et fugerunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt ibi.

And the men of Israel, that were beyond the valley, and beyond the Jordan, seeing that the Israelites were fled, and that Saul was dead, and his sons, forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt there.

Vide autem viros Israële qui es trans valle et trans Iordane, quod viros Israëlitas fuge, et quod morto es Saulo et filios de illo, relinque civitates suo, et fuge: et Philisthio veni, et habita ibi.

Facta autem die altera, venerunt Philisthiim ut spoliarent interfectos, et invenerunt Saul et tres filios ejus jacentes in monte Gelboë.

And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe.

Facto autem die altero, Philisthio veni ut spolia interfice, et inveni Saulo et tre filio de illo iace in monte Gelbo.

Et præciderunt caput Saul, et spoliaverunt eum armis: et miserunt in terram Philisthinorum per circuitum, ut annuntiaretur in templo idolorum, et in populis.

And they cut off Saul's head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols and among their people.

Et praecide capite Saulo, et spolia illo armas: et mitte in terra de Philisthinos per circuitu, ut annuntia in templo de idolos, et in populos.

Et posuerunt arma ejus in templo Astaroth, corpus vero ejus suspenderunt in muro Bethsan.

And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan.

Et pone armas de illo in templo Astaroth, corpore vero de illo suspende in muro Bethsane.

Quod cum audissent habitatores Jabes Galaad, quæcumque fecerant Philisthiim Saul,

Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

Quod cum audi habitatores Iabes Galaade, Philisthio fac omni Saulo,

surrexerunt omnes viri fortissimi, et ambulaverunt tota nocte, et tulerunt cadaver Saul, et cadavera filiorum ejus, de muro Bethsan: veneruntque Jabes Galaad, et combusserunt ea ibi:

All the most valiant men arose, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Bethsan: and they came to Jabes Galaad, and burnt them there.

Omni viros forti surge, et ambula toto nocte, et fer cadavere Saulo, et cadaveras de filios de illo, de muro Bethsane: et Iabes veni Galaade, et comburga illa ibi:

et tulerunt ossa eorum, et sepelierunt in nemore Jabes, et jejunaverunt septem diebus.

And they took their bones, and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days.

Et fer ores de illos, et Iabes in nemore sepeli, et ieiuna septeme die.
