1 Samuel 31
1 Now, as, the Philistines, were fighting against Israel, the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain, in Mount Gilboa.
Os philisteos, pois, pelejaram contra Israel: e os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos philisteos, e cairam atravessados na montanha de Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
E os philisteos apertaram com Saul e seus filhos: e os philisteos mataram a Jonathan, e a Abinadab, e a Malchisua, filhos de Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers discovered him, —and he was terrified at the archers.
E a peleja se aggravou contra Saul, e os frecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos frecheiros.
4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer—Draw thy sword and pierce me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come, and pierce me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer was not willing, for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell thereon.
Então disse Saul ao seu pagem d'armas: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ella, para que porventura não venham estes incircumcisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Porém o seu pagem d'armas não quiz, porque temia muito: então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ella.
5 And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also, fell upon his sword, and died with him.
Vendo pois o seu pagem d'armas que Saul já era morto, tambem elle se lançou sobre a sua espada, e morreu com elle.
6 Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, yea all his men, on that day, together.
Assim falleceu Saul, e seus tres filhos, e o seu pagem d'armas, e tambem todos os homens morreram juntamente n'aquelle dia.
7 And, when the men of Israel who were across the vale, and who were across the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled, and the Philistines entered, and took up their abode therein.
E, vendo os homens d'Israel, que estavam d'esta banda do valle e d'esta banda do Jordão, que os homens d'Israel fugiram, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, desampararam as cidades, e fugiram; e vieram os philisteos, e habitaram n'ellas.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul, and his three sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
Succedeu pois que, vindo os philisteos ao outro dia a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus tres filhos estirados na montanha de Gilboa.
9 So they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and unto the people.
E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e o despojaram das suas armas, e enviaram pela terra dos philisteos, em redor, a annuncial-o no templo dos seus idolos e entre o povo.
10 And they put his armour in a house of Ashtoreths, —and, his dead body, fastened they on the wall of Beth-shan.
E pozeram as suas armas no templo d'Astaroth, e o seu corpo o affixaram no muro de Beth-san.
11 And, when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, what the Philistines had done unto Saul,
Ouvindo então isto os moradores de Jabez-gilead, o que os philisteos fizeram a Saul,
12 then arose all the men of valour, and journeyed all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-shan, —and came to Jabesh, and burned 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 took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, —and fasted seven days.
E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo d'um arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
