1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
Os philisteus, pois, pelejaram contra Israel: e os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos philisteus, e cairam atravessados na montanha de Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
E os philisteus apertaram com Saul e seus filhos: e os philisteus mataram a Jonathan, e a Abinadab, e a Malchisua, filhos de Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, an the archers overtook him; and he was in great anguish by reason of the archers.
E a peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos flecheiros.
4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer: 'Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and make a mock of me.' But his armour-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
Então disse Saul ao seu pagem de armas: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que porventura não venham estes incircuncisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Porém o seu pagem de armas não quis, porque temia muito: então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ela.
5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him.
Vendo pois o seu pagem de armas que Saul já era morto, também ele se lançou sobre a sua espada, e morreu com ele.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Assim faleceu Saul, e seus três filhos, e o seu pagem de armas, e também todos os homens morreram juntamente naquele dia.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were beyond 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 de Israel, que estavam desta banda do vale e desta banda do Jordão, que os homens de Israel fugiram, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, desampararam as cidades, e fugiram; e vieram os philisteus, e habitaram nelas.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
Sucedeu pois que, vindo os philisteus ao outro dia a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus três filhos estirados na montanha de Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto the house of their idols, and to the people.
E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e o despojaram das suas armas, e enviaram pela terra dos philisteus, em redor, a anuncia-lo no templo dos seus ídolos e entre o povo.
10 And they put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
E puseram as suas armas no templo de Astaroth, e o seu corpo o afixaram no muro de Beth-san.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ouvindo então isto os moradores de Jabez-gilead, o que os philisteus 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 they came to Jabesh, and burnt 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-tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo dum arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
