< 1 Samuel 13 >

1 Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and, when he had reigned two years over Israel,
Um anno tinha estado Saul em seu reinado: e o segundo anno reinou sobre Israel.
2 Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel, of whom there were with Saul, two thousand in Michmash and in the hill-country of Bethel, and, a thousand, were with Jonathan, in Gibeah of Benjamin, —but, the rest of the people, he let go, every man to his own home.
Então Saul escolheu para si tres mil de Israel; e estavam com Saul dois mil em Michmas, e na montanha de Beth-el, e mil estavam com Jonathan em Gibeah de Benjamin: e o resto do povo despediu, cada um para sua casa.
3 Then did Jonathan smite the garrison of Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it, —and, Saul, blew with a horn throughout all the land saying, Let the Hebrews hear!
E Jonathan feriu a guarnição dos philisteos que estava em Gibeah, o que os philisteos ouviram: pelo que Saul tocou a trombeta por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreos.
4 And, all Israel, heard say—Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines, Moreover, also, Israel have made themselves odious among the Philistines, —so the people were called together to follow Saul, to Gilgal.
Então todo o Israel ouviu dizer: Saul feriu a guarnição dos philisteos, e tambem Israel se fez abominavel aos philisteos. Então o povo foi convocado atraz de Saul em Gilgal.
5 And, the Philistines, gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, a people also like the sand that is on the sea-shore for multitude, —and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
E os philisteos se ajuntaram para pelejar contra Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavalleiros, e povo em multidão como a areia que está á borda do mar; e subiram, e se acamparam em Michmas, ao oriente de Beth-aven.
6 So, the men of Israel, saw they were in a strait, for the people had been harassed, —and the people had hidden themselves in caves, and in thickets, and among cliffs, and in holes, and in pits.
Vendo pois os homens de Israel que estava em angustia (porque o povo estava apertado) o povo se escondeu pelas cavernas, e pelos espinhaes, e pelos penhascos, e pelas fortificações, e pelas covas.
7 And, Hebrews, had passed over the Jordan, to the land of Gad, and Gilead, —but, Saul, was yet in Gilgal, and all the people, trembled after him.
E os hebreos passaram o Jordão para a terra de Gad e Gilead: e, estando Saul ainda em Gilgal, todo o povo veiu atraz d'elle tremendo.
8 And he waited seven days, by the set time that Samuel had named, but Samuel came not to Gilgal, —and the people were scattered from him.
E esperou sete dias, até ao tempo que Samuel determinara; não vindo, porém, Samuel a Gilgal, o povo se espalhava d'elle.
9 Then said Saul, Bring near unto me, the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
Então disse Saul: Trazei-me aqui um holocausto, e offertas pacificas. E offereceu o holocausto.
10 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of offering up the ascending-sacrifice, lo! Samuel, had come, —and Saul went out to meet him, that he might bless him.
E succedeu que, acabando elle de offerecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul lhe saiu ao encontro, para o saudar.
11 Then said Samuel—What hast thou done? And Saul said—Because I saw that the people had been scattered from me, and, thou, hadst not come within the appointed days, and, the Philistines, had gathered themselves together to Michmash,
Então disse Samuel: Que fizeste? Disse Saul: Porquanto via que o povo se espalhava de mim, e tu não vinhas nos dias aprazados, e os philisteos já se tinham ajuntado em Michmas,
12 therefore I said—Now, will the Philistines come down against me, at Gilgal, but, the face of Yahweh, have I not appeased: So I forced myself, and offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
Eu disse: Agora descerão os philisteos sobre mim a Gilgal, e ainda á face do Senhor não orei: e violentei-me, e offereci holocausto.
13 And Samuel said unto Saul—Thou hast shewn thyself foolish, —thou hast not kept the commandment of Yahweh thy God, which he commanded thee, for, now, would Yahweh have established thy kingdom unto Israel until times age-abiding;
Então disse Samuel a Saul: Obraste nesciamente, e não guardaste o mandamento que o Senhor teu Deus te ordenou; porque agora o Senhor teria confirmado o teu reino sobre Israel para sempre.
14 Whereas, now, shall thy kingdom not be established, —Yahweh hath sought out for him a man after his own heart, and Yahweh hath commanded him to be leader over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Yahweh commanded thee.
Porém agora não subsistirá o teu reino: já tem buscado o Senhor para si um homem segundo o seu coração, e já lhe tem ordenado o Senhor, que seja chefe sobre o seu povo, porquanto não guardaste o que o Senhor te ordenou
15 And Samuel arose, and ascended from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were found with him, about six hundred men.
Então se levantou Samuel, e subiu de Gilgal a Gibeah de Benjamin: e Saul numerou o povo que achou com elle, uns seiscentos varões.
16 Now, Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with him, were abiding in Geba of Benjamin, —but, the Philistines, had encamped in Michmash.
E Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, e o povo que se achou com elles, ficaram em Gibeah de Benjamin: porém os philisteos se acamparam em Michmas.
17 And the spoilers came forth out of the camp of the Philistines, in three companies, the first company, turned unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
E os destruidores sairam do campo dos philisteos em tres companhias: uma das companhias voltou pelo caminho d'Ophra á terra de Sual:
18 and, the second company, turned unto the way of Beth-horon, —and, the third company, turned unto the way of the boundary that overlooketh the valley of Zeboim, towards the wilderness.
Outra companhia voltou pelo caminho de Beth-horon: e a outra companhia voltou pelo caminho do termo que olha para o valle Zeboim contra o deserto.
19 Now, a smith, could not be found, throughout all the land of Israel—for the Philistines had said, Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear.
E em toda a terra de Israel nem um ferreiro se achava: porque os philisteos tinham dito: Para que os hebreos não façam espada nem lança.
20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, —to sharpen every man his share, and his mattock, and his axe, and his sickle.
Pelo que todo o Israel tinha que descer aos philisteos para amolar cada um a sua relha, e a sua enxada, e o seu machado, e o seu sacho.
21 Howbeit they had a file for the sickles, and the mattocks, and the three-pronged forks, and the axes, —and for setting the goads.
Tinham porém limas adentadas para os seus sachos, e para as suas enxadas, e para as forquilhas de tres dentes, e para os machados, e para concertar as aguilhadas.
22 Thus would it come to pass, in the day of battle, that there was found—neither sword nor spear, in the hand of any of the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan, but such were found belonging to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
E succedeu que, no dia da peleja, se não achou nem espada nem lança na mão de todo o povo que estava com Saul e com Jonathan: porém acharam-se com Saul e com Jonathan seu filho.
23 Now the garrison of the Philistines had come out to the pass of Michmash.
E saiu a guarnição dos philisteos ao passo de Michmas.
