1 Samuel 7
1 And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and hallowed Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.
Então vieram os homens de Kiriath-jearim, e levaram a arca do Senhor, e a trouxeram á casa de Abinadab, no outeiro: e consagraram a Eleazar, seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do Senhor.
2 And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.
E succedeu que, desde aquelle dia, a arca ficou em Kiriath-jearim, e tantos dias se passaram que até chegaram vinte annos, e lamentava toda a casa de Israel após do Senhor.
3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye return to Jehovah with all your heart, put away the strange gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and apply your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
Então fallou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se com todo o vosso coração vos converterdes ao Senhor, tirae d'entre vós os deuses estranhos e os astaroths, e preparae o vosso coração ao Senhor, e servi a elle só, e vos livrará da mão dos philisteos.
4 And the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths and served Jehovah only.
Então os filhos de Israel tiraram d'entre si aos baalins e aos astaroths, e serviram só ao Senhor.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray Jehovah for you.
Disse mais Samuel: Congregae a todo o Israel em Mispah: e orarei por vós ao Senhor.
6 And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
E congregaram-se em Mispah, e tiraram agua, e a derramaram perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquelle dia, e disseram ali: Peccámos contra o Senhor. E julgava Samuel os filhos de Israel em Mispah.
7 And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah; and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel; and the children of Israel heard [it], and were afraid of the Philistines.
Ouvindo pois os philisteos que os filhos d'Israel estavam congregados em Mispah, subiram os maioraes dos philisteos contra Israel: o que ouvindo os filhos de Israel, temeram por causa dos philisteos.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
Pelo que disseram os filhos d'Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar ao Senhor nosso Deus por nós, para que nos livre da mão dos philisteos.
9 And Samuel took a sucking-lamb, and offered it as a whole burnt-offering to Jehovah; and Samuel cried to Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answered him.
Então tomou Samuel um cordeiro de mama, e sacrificou-o inteiro em holocausto ao Senhor: e clamou Samuel ao Senhor por Israel, e o Senhor lhe deu ouvidos.
10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines advanced to battle against Israel. And Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were routed before Israel.
E succedeu que, estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os philisteos chegaram á peleja contra Israel: e trovejou o Senhor aquelle dia com grande trovoada sobre os philisteos, e os aterrou de tal modo que foram derrotados diante dos filhos d'Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.
E os homens d'Israel sairam de Mispah, e perseguiram os philisteos, e os feriram até abaixo de Beth-car.
12 And Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto Jehovah has helped us.
Então tomou Samuel uma pedra, e a poz entre Mispah e Sen, e chamou o seu nome Eben-ezer: e disse: Até aqui nos ajudou o Senhor.
13 And the Philistines were subdued, and came no more into the borders of Israel; and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Assim os philisteos foram abatidos, e nunca mais vieram aos termos d'Israel, porquanto foi a mão do Senhor contra os philisteos todos os dias de Samuel.
14 And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and their territory did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorite.
E as cidades que os philisteos tinham tomado a Israel foram restituidas a Israel, desde Ekron até Gath, e até os seus termos Israel arrebatou da mão dos philisteos; e houve paz entre Israel e entre os amorrheos.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
E Samuel julgou a Israel todos os dias da sua vida.
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.
E ia de anno, em anno, e rodeava a Beth-el, e a Gilgal, e a Mispah, e julgava a Israel em todos aquelles logares.
17 And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house, and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to Jehovah.
Porém voltava a Rama, porque estava ali a sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel: e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor.
