1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel became known to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ha'ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
E veio a palavra de Samuel a todo o Israel: e Israel saiu ao encontro, à peleja, aos philisteus, e se acamparam junto a Eben-ezer: e os philisteus se acamparam junto a Afek.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in battle-array against Israel; and the battle became general, and Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew on the battle-ground, in the field, about four thousand men.
E os philisteus se dispozeram em ordem de batalha, para sair ao encontro a Israel; e, estendendo-se a peleja, Israel foi ferido diante dos philisteus, porque feriram na batalha, no campo, uns quatro mil homens.
3 And when the people were come back into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us this day before the Philistines? Let us bring over to us out of Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that it may come in the midst of us, and deliver us out of the hand of our enemies.
E tornando o povo ao arraial, disseram os anciãos de Israel: Porque nos feriu o Senhor hoje diante dos philisteus? tragamos de Silo a arca do concerto do Senhor, e venha no meio de nós, para que nos livre da mão de nossos inimigos.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought away from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth over the cherubim: and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
Enviou pois o povo a Silo, e trouxeram de lá a arca do concerto do Senhor dos exércitos, que habita entre os cherubins: e os dois filhos de Eli, Hophni e Phineas estavam ali com a arca do concerto de Deus.
5 And it happened when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, that all Israel set up a great shout, so that the earth trembled.
E sucedeu que, vindo a arca do concerto do Senhor ao arraial, todo o Israel jubilou com grande júbilo, até que a terra estremeceu.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
E os philisteus, ouvindo a voz do júbilo, disseram: Que voz de tão grande júbilo é esta no arraial dos hebreus? então souberam que a arca do Senhor era vinda ao arraial.
7 And the Philistines were afraid; for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for the like of this hath not been, yesterday or the day before.
Pelo que os philisteus se atemorisaram; porque diziam: Deus veio ao arraial. E diziam mais: Ai de nós! que tal nunca jamais sucedeu antes.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
Ai de nós! quem nos livrará da mão destes grandiosos deuses? estes são os deuses que feriram aos egípcios com todas as pragas junto ao deserto.
9 Be strong, and act like men, O Philistines, so that ye become not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: therefore act like men, and fight.
Esforçai-vos, e sede homens, ó philisteus, para que porventura não venhais a servir aos hebreus, como eles serviram a vós; sede pois homens, e pelejai.
10 And the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were smitten, and they fled every man unto his tent: and the defeat was very great; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand men on foot.
Então pelejaram os philisteus, e Israel foi ferido, e fugiram cada um para a sua tenda; e foi tão grande o estrago, que cairam de Israel trinta mil homens de pé.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of 'Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, died also.
E foi tomada a arca de Deus: e os dois filhos de Eli, Hophni e Phineas, morreram.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin from the battlefield, and came to Shiloh on the same day, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head.
Então correu da batalha um homem de Benjamin, e chegou no mesmo dia a Silo: e trazia os vestidos rotos, e terra sobre a cabeça.
13 And when he came, lo, 'Eli was sitting upon a chair by the wayside watching; for his heart was anxious for the ark of God. And when the man came to tell it in the city, all the city cried out.
E, chegando ele, eis que Eli estava assentado sobre uma cadeira, vigiando ao pé do caminho; porquanto o seu coração estava tremendo pela arca de Deus: entrando pois aquele homem a anunciar isto na cidade, toda a cidade gritou.
14 And when 'Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this multitude? And the man came in hastily, and told it to 'Eli.
E Eli, ouvindo a voz do grito, disse: Que voz de alvoroço é esta? Então chegou aquele homem a grande pressa, e veio, e o anunciou a Eli.
15 Now 'Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, so that he could not see.
E era Eli da idade de noventa e oito anos: e estavam os seus olhos tão escurecidos, que já não podia ver.
16 And the man said unto 'Eli, I am the person that came from the battlefield, and I myself fled from the battlefield today. And he said, What was it that took place, my son?
E disse aquele homem a Eli: Eu sou o que venho da batalha; porque eu fugi hoje da batalha. E disse ele: Que coisa sucedeu, filho meu?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath also been a great slaughter among the people, and also thy two sons, Chophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God hath been taken.
Então respondeu o que trazia as novas, e disse: Israel fugiu de diante dos philisteus, e houve também grande desfeita entre o povo: e, de mais disto, também teus dois filhos, Hophni e Phineas, morreram, e a arca de Deus é tomada.
18 And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the chair backward by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
E sucedeu que, fazendo ele menção da arca de Deus, Eli caiu da cadeira para traz, da banda da porta, e quebrou-se-lhe o pescoço e morreu: porquanto o homem era velho e pesado; e tinha ele julgado a Israel quarenta anos.
19 And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings concerning that the ark of God had been taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she sank down and gave birth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.
E, estando sua nora, a mulher de Phineas, grávida, e próxima ao parto, e ouvindo estas novas, de que a arca de Deus era tomada, e de que seu sogro e seu marido morreram, encurvou-se e pariu; porquanto as dores lhe sobrevieram.
20 And at the moment of her dying, the women that stood around her spoke [unto her], Fear not; for a son hast thou born. But she answered not, nor did she take it to heart.
E, ao tempo em que ia morrendo, disseram as mulheres que estavam com ela: Não temas, pois pariste um filho. ela porém não respondeu, nem fez caso disso.
21 And she named the child I-chabod, saying, Glory is departed from Israel; because of the taking away of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
E chamou ao menino Icabod, dizendo: Foi-se a glória de Israel. Porquanto a arca de Deus foi levada presa, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.
22 And she said, Glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God hath been taken away.
E disse: De Israel a glória é levada presa: pois é tomada a arca de Deus.
