1 Samuel 31
1 And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
Os philisteos, pois, pelejaram contra Israel: e os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos philisteos, e cairam atravessados na montanha de Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
E os philisteos apertaram com Saul e seus filhos: e os philisteos mataram a Jonathan, e a Abinadab, e a Malchisua, filhos de Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers.
E a peleja se aggravou contra Saul, e os frecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos frecheiros.
4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
Então disse Saul ao seu pagem d'armas: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ella, para que porventura não venham estes incircumcisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Porém o seu pagem d'armas não quiz, porque temia muito: então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ella.
5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him.
Vendo pois o seu pagem d'armas que Saul já era morto, tambem elle se lançou sobre a sua espada, e morreu com elle.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Assim falleceu Saul, e seus tres filhos, e o seu pagem d'armas, e tambem todos os homens morreram juntamente n'aquelle dia.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on this side of the valley, and [they] that were on this side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
E, vendo os homens d'Israel, que estavam d'esta banda do valle e d'esta banda do Jordão, que os homens d'Israel fugiram, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, desampararam as cidades, e fugiram; e vieram os philisteos, e habitaram n'ellas.
8 And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
Succedeu pois que, vindo os philisteos ao outro dia a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus tres filhos estirados na montanha de Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings in the houses of their idols, and to the people.
E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e o despojaram das suas armas, e enviaram pela terra dos philisteos, em redor, a annuncial-o no templo dos seus idolos e entre o povo.
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
E pozeram as suas armas no templo d'Astaroth, e o seu corpo o affixaram no muro de Beth-san.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ouvindo então isto os moradores de Jabez-gilead, o que os philisteos fizeram a Saul,
12 all the valiant men arose and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burned them there.
Todo o homem valoroso se levantou, e caminharam toda a noite, e tiraram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Beth-san, e, vindo a Jabez, os queimaram.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo d'um arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
