< 1 Samuel 13 >
1 Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,
Havia já Saul reinado um ano; e reinado que houve dois anos sobre Israel,
2 that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.
Escolheu-se logo três mil de Israel: os dois mil estiveram com Saul em Micmás e no monte de Betel, e os mil estiveram com Jônatas em Gibeá de Benjamim; e enviou a todo o outro povo cada um a suas tendas.
3 Now Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was at Gibeah, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."
E Jônatas feriu a guarnição dos filisteus que havia no morro, e ouviram-no os filisteus. E fez Saul tocar trombetas por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreus.
4 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines. So the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
E todo Israel ouviu o que se dizia: Saul feriu a guarnição dos filisteus; e também que Israel se tornou detestável aos filisteus. E juntou-se o povo sob o comando de Saul em Gilgal.
5 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
Então os filisteus se juntaram para lutar com Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavalos, e povo quando a areia que está à beira do mar em multidão; e subiram, e assentaram acampamento em Micmás, ao oriente de Bete-Áven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were in a difficult situation), then the people hid themselves in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
Mas os homens de Israel, vendo-se postos em apuros, (porque o povo estava em dificuldades), escondeu-se o povo em covas, em fossos, em penhascos, em rochas e em cisternas.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
E alguns dos hebreus passaram o Jordão à terra de Gade e de Gileade: e Saul se estava ainda em Gilgal, e todo o povo ia atrás dele tremendo.
8 And he stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon him.
E ele esperou sete dias, conforme ao prazo que Samuel havia dito; mas Samuel não vinha a Gilgal, e o povo se lhe desertava.
9 Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
Então disse Saul: Trazei-me holocausto e sacrifícios pacíficos. E ofereceu o holocausto.
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
E quando ele acabava de fazer o holocausto, eis que Samuel que vinha; e Saul lhe saiu a receber para saudar-lhe.
11 Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
Então Samuel disse: Que fizeste? E Saul respondeu: Porque vi que o povo se me ia, e que tu não vinhas ao prazo dos dias, e que os filisteus estavam juntos em Micmás,
12 therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of the LORD.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering."
Disse-me: Os filisteus descerão agora contra mim a Gilgal, e eu não implorei o favor do SENHOR. Esforcei-me pois, e ofereci holocausto.
13 Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
Então Samuel disse a Saul: Loucamente fizeste; não guardaste o mandamento do SENHOR teu Deus, que ele te havia intimado; porque agora o SENHOR teria confirmado teu reino sobre Israel para sempre.
14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you."
Mas agora teu reino não será durável: o SENHOR buscou para si homem segundo seu coração, ao qual o SENHOR mandou que seja líder sobre seu povo, porquanto tu não guardaste o que o SENHOR te mandou.
15 And Samuel arose and departed from Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
E levantando-se Samuel, subiu de Gilgal a Gibeá de Benjamim. E Saul contou a gente que se achava com ele, como seiscentos homens.
16 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.
Então Saul e Jônatas seu filho, e o povo que com eles se achava, ficaram em Gibeá de Benjamim: mas os filisteus haviam posto seu acampamento em Micmás.
17 The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
E saíram do acampamento dos filisteus em saque três esquadrões. O um esquadrão tirou pelo caminho de Ofra até a terra de Sual.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
O outro esquadrão marchou até Bete-Horom, e o terceiro esquadrão marchou até a região que está voltada ao vale de Zeboim até o deserto.
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."
E em toda a terra de Israel não se achava ferreiro; porque os filisteus haviam dito: Para que os hebreus não façam espada ou lança.
20 But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
E todos os de Israel desciam aos filisteus cada qual a amolar sua relha, sua enxada, seu machado, ou seu sacho,
21 and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads.
E cobravam certo preço pelas relhas, pelas enxadas, e pelas forquilhas, e outro para afiar os machados, e as aguilhadas.
22 So on the day of the battle of Michmash there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
Assim aconteceu que o dia da batalha não se achou espada nem lança em mão de algum de todo o povo que estava com Saul e com Jônatas, exceto Saul e Jônatas seu filho, que as tinham.
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
E a guarnição dos filisteus saiu ao desfiladeiro de Micmás.
