1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on 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 overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua', 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 was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, the men with bows; and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
E a peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos flecheiros.
4 And Saul said unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid; wherefore Saul took the 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 armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise 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 Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, also all his men, on 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 those that were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons had died: they forsook the cities, and fled away; 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, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on 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 armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among 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 armor in the house of 'Ashtaroth; and his body they fastened 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 Yabeshgil'ad 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 Then arose all the valiant men, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Yabesh, 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 at Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo dum arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
