1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
Now os filisteus lutaram contra Israel; e os homens de Israel fugiram de antes dos filisteus, e caíram mortos no Monte Gilboa.
2 The Philistines followed hard on Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua, the sons of Saul.
os filisteus dominaram Saul e seus filhos; e os filisteus mataram Jonathan, Abinadab e Malchishua, os filhos de Saul.
3 The battle was fierce against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers.
A batalha foi dura contra Saul, e os arqueiros o dominaram; e ele ficou muito angustiado por causa dos arqueiros.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and torture me." But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
Então Saul disse a seu portador de armadura: “Tira tua espada, e me empurra com ela, para que estes incircuncisos não venham e me empurrem e abusem de mim”! Mas seu portador de armadura não o faria, pois ele estava aterrorizado. Por isso Saul pegou sua espada e caiu sobre ela.
5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
Quando seu portador de armadura viu que Saul estava morto, ele também caiu sobre sua espada, e morreu com ele.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
Assim, Saul morreu com seus três filhos, seu portador de armadura e todos os seus homens juntos naquele mesmo dia.
7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
Quando os homens de Israel que estavam do outro lado do vale, e aqueles que estavam além do Jordão, viram que os homens de Israel fugiram e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, abandonaram as cidades e fugiram; e os filisteus vieram e viveram nelas.
8 It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
No dia seguinte, quando os filisteus vieram para despojar os mortos, encontraram Saul e seus três filhos caídos no Monte Gilboa.
9 They cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
Cortaram-lhe a cabeça, tiraram-lhe a armadura e mandaram para a terra dos filisteus por toda parte, para levar a notícia para a casa de seus ídolos e para o povo.
10 They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
Eles colocaram sua armadura na casa dos Ashtaroth, e prenderam seu corpo ao muro de Beth Shan.
11 But when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
Quando os habitantes de Jabesh Gilead ouviram o que os filisteus tinham feito a Saul,
12 all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and brought them to Jabesh and burnt them there.
todos os homens valentes se levantaram, foram a noite toda e levaram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Beth Shan; e vieram a Jabesh e os queimaram lá.
13 They took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
Eles pegaram seus ossos e os enterraram sob a tamargueira em Jabesh, e jejuaram sete dias.
