¹

Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.

¹

Филисти'ми же вое^ва'ша проти'вђ і^и^л~ю. и^ бњжа'ша мђжи і^и^л~еви эT лица` и^ноплеме'нническа, и^ падо'ша ра'нени въ горњ` гелвђ'и”

²

And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.

²

Єгда же приближи'шася и^ноплеме'нницы погоня'ющи саё'ла и^ сн~овъ е^го. и^ ё^би'ша і^ѓ^а^наџа'на и^ а^минада'ва и^ мельхисђ'е сн~овъ саё'ловыX”

³

And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.

³

И$ ѓ^тяжася бра'нь проти'вђ саё'ла. и^ ѓ^брњто'шA е^го стрњлцы и^ ја%зви'ша е^го стрњлами и^ въскорбњ эT стрњленїя”

⁴

And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

⁴

И$ рече саё'лъ къ нося'щемђ ѓ^рђжїе е^го. и^зъвлецы ме'чъ тво'и и^ прободи' мя и^мъ. да не пото'м# прїидђтъ неѓ^брњ'занїи сїи и^ посмњ'ются мн^њ. и^ не хотњ же нося` ѓ^рђ'жїе е^го ја%ко воZбоя'ся ѕњло. въсхити же саё'лъ ме'чъ и^ нападе` на'нь”

⁵

And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.

⁵

И$ е^гда` ви'дњ нося'и ѓ^рђжїе е^го, ја%ко мр~твъ бы'сть саё'лъ. нападе же и^ ѓ'нъ на меq сво'и и^ ё'мре”

⁶

So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.

⁶

И$ ё'мре саё'лъ и^ тр^и сн~ы е^го въ дн~ь ѓ'нъ, и^ ве'сь домъ е^гота'коже паде`”

⁷

And all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, and they left their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

⁷

И$ е^гда ви'дњша мђжи і^и^л~еви и^же бњша въ полеX. ја%ко бњ'жаша, и^ саё'ла и^ сн~ы е^го ё^мерша. и^ ѓ^ста'виша гра'ды своя` и^ побњжа'ша. и^ прїидо'ша же и^ноплемеnницы и^ всели'шася в ни'хъ”

⁸

And it came to pass on the next day that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gelbue.

⁸

И$ дн~и ё%тренего прїидо'ша и^ноплеме'н#ницы съвлачати паDшиX кори'сти и^ ѓ^брњто'ша саё'ла и^ сн~овъ е^го лежа'щихъ въ горњ` гел#вђе.

⁹

And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.

⁹

и^ съвлеко'ша е^го и^ ё^сњкнђша главђ` е^го. и^ ѓ^рђжїе е^го взя'ша. и^ посла'ша и^ноплеме'нницы въ землю свою` да ѓ^бно'сит#ся и^ пока'жется и%доломъ цр~квам# и^ лю'деM”

¹⁰

And they put their armour in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.

¹⁰

ѓ^рђжїе же е^го положи'ша въ цр~кви б~а свое^го, и^ главђ` пот#кнђша въ црк~ви даго'на”

¹¹

And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.

¹¹

Тогда ё^слы'шаша мђ'жи и^а^ве'са галаа'дъскаго вс^я. и^же филисти'ми сътвори'ша саё'лђ и^ сн~ом# е^го і^и^л~ю.

¹²

And all the mighty men rose up from Galaad, and they took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabis, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabis, and fasted seven days.

¹²

воста'вше эT галаа'да вс^и мђ'жи и^ крњпкїи. и^ прїидо'ша и^ взя'ша трђпъ саё'ловъ и^ трђпы сн~овъ е^го. и^ принесо'ша и^хъ въ и^а^ви'съ, и^ погребо'ша ко'сти иX поD дђбомъ и^же б^њ въ и^а^висъ. и^ пости'шася, з~, дн~їи”

¹³

So Saul died for his transgressions, wherein he transgressed against God, against the word of the Lord, forasmuch as he kept it not, because Saul enquired of a wizard to seek counsel, and Samuel the prophet answered him:

¹³

И$ та'ко ё'мре саё'лъ ради безако'нїи свои^хъ. и%мже престђпи` гв~и по словеси` гн~ю е^гоже не съхрани`. и^ къ семђ` въпроси` саё'лъ во влъшве'нїи е^же възыскати. и^ эTвњща е^мђ само'илъ прoркъ,

¹⁴

and he sought not the Lord: so he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

¹⁴

и^ не вопроси` г~а. и^ сего ради ёби е^го. и^ эTдастъ црsтво е^го дв~дђ сн~ђ і^ѓ^сїинђ”
