1 Samuel 31
1 And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded 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 follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike 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 is hard against Saul, and the archers find him—men with bow—and he is greatly pained by the archers;
E a peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos flecheiros.
4 and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come—these uncircumcised—and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me”; and the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on 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 the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and he falls—he also—on his sword, and dies 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 and Saul dies, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, together on that day.
Assim faleceu Saul, e seus três filhos, e o seu pagem de armas, e também todos os homens morreram juntamente naquele dia.
7 And they see—the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan—that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell 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 comes to pass on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find 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 strip off his weapons, and send [them] into the land of the surrounding Philistines, to proclaim tidings [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 place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth, and they have fixed his body on 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 they hear regarding it—the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead—that which the Philistines have done to Saul,
Ouvindo então isto os moradores de Jabez-gilead, o que os philisteus fizeram a Saul,
12 and all the men of valor arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come to Jabesh, and burn 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 take their bones, and bury [them] under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo dum arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
