Kings I 7
1 And the men of Cariathiarim come, and bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord: and they bring it into the house of Aminadab in the hill; and they sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
E vieram os de Quriate-Jearim, e levaram a arca do SENHOR, e meteram-na em casa de Abinadabe, situada no morro; e santificaram a Eleazar seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do SENHOR.
2 And it came to pass from the time that the ark was in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied, and [the time] was twenty years; and all the house of Israel looked after the Lord.
E aconteceu que desde o dia que chegou a arca a Quriate-Jearim passaram muito dias, vinte anos; e toda a casa de Israel se lamentou, voltando a seguir o SENHOR.
3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do with all your heart return to the Lord, take away the strange gods from the midst of you, and the groves, and prepare your hearts to [serve] the Lord, and serve him only; and he shall deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.
E falou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se de todo vosso coração vos volteis ao SENHOR, tirai os deuses alheios e a Astarote de entre vós, e preparai vosso coração ao SENHOR, e a somente ele servi, e vos livrará da mão dos filisteus.
4 And the children of Israel took away Baalim and the groves of Astaroth, and served the Lord only.
Então os filhos de Israel tiraram aos baalins e a Astarote, e serviram a somente o SENHOR.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Massephath, and I will pray for you to the Lord.
E Samuel disse: Juntai a todo Israel em Mispá, e eu orarei por vós ao SENHOR.
6 And they were gathered together to Massephath, and they drew water, and poured it out upon the earth before the Lord. And they fasted on that day, and said, We have sinned before the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Massephath.
E juntando-se em Mispá, tiraram água, e derramaram-na diante do SENHOR, e jejuaram aquele dia, e disseram ali: Contra o SENHOR temos pecado. E julgou Samuel aos filhos de Israel em Mispá.
7 And the Philistines heard that all the children of Israel were gathered together to Massephath: and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel: and the children of Israel heard, and they feared before the Philistines.
E ouvindo os filisteus que os filhos de Israel estavam reunidos em Mispá, subiram os príncipes dos filisteus contra Israel: o qual quando houveram ouvido os filhos de Israel, tiveram temor dos filisteus.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the Lord your God for us, and he shall save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
E disseram os filhos de Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar por nós ao SENHOR nosso Deus, que nos guarde da mão dos filisteus.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it up as a whole burnt offering with all the people to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
E Samuel tomou um cordeiro que ainda amamentava, e sacrificou-o inteiro ao SENHOR em holocausto: e clamou Samuel ao SENHOR por Israel, e o SENHOR lhe ouviu.
10 And Samuel was offering the whole burnt offering; and the Philistines drew near to war against Israel; and the Lord thundered with a mighty sound in that day upon the Philistines, and they were confounded and overthrown before Israel.
E aconteceu que estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os filisteus chegaram para lutar com os filhos de Israel. Mas o SENHOR trovejou aquele dia com grande estrondo sobre os filisteus, e desbaratou-os, e foram vencidos diante de Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went forth out of Massephath, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them to the parts under Baethchor.
E saindo os filhos de Israel de Mispá, seguiram aos filisteus, ferindo-os até abaixo de Bete-Car.
12 And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped us.
Tomou logo Samuel uma pedra, e a pôs entre Mispá e Sem, e pôs-lhe por nome Ebenézer, dizendo: Até aqui nos ajudou o SENHOR.
13 So the Lord humbled the Philistines, and they did not anymore come into the border of Israel; and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Foram, pois, os filisteus humilhados, que não vieram mais ao termo de Israel; e a mão do SENHOR foi contra os filisteus todo o tempo de Samuel.
14 And the cities which the Philistines took from the children of Israel were restored; and they restored them to Israel from Ascalon to Azob: and they took the coast of Israel out of the hand of the Philistines; and there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.
E foram restituídas aos filhos de Israel as cidades que os filisteus haviam tomado aos israelitas, desde Ecrom até Gate, com seus termos: e Israel as livrou da mão dos filisteus. E houve paz entre Israel e o amorreu.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
E julgou Samuel a Israel todo o tempo que viveu.
16 And he went year by year, and went round Baethel, and Galgala, and Massephath; and he judged Israel in all these consecrated places.
E todos os anos ia e dava volta a Betel, e a Gilgal, e a Mispá, e julgava a Israel em todos estes lugares.
17 And his return was to Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.
Voltava-se depois a Ramá, porque ali estava sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel; e edificou ali altar ao SENHOR.
