1 Samuel 14
1 One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
Sucedeu pois que um dia disse Jonathan, filho de Saul, ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição dos philisteus, que está lá daquela banda. Porém não o fez saber a seu pai
2 On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
E estava Saul à extremidade de Gibeah, debaixo da romeira que estava em Migron; e o povo que havia com ele eram uns seiscentos homens.
3 Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
E Ahija, filho de Ahitub, irmão de Icabod, o filho de Phineas, filho de Eli, sacerdote do Senhor em Silo, trazia o éfode: porém o povo não sabia que Jonathan tinha ido.
4 Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
E entre os passos pelos quais Jonathan procurava passar à guarnição dos philisteus, desta banda havia uma penha aguda, e da outra banda uma penha aguda: e era o nome de uma Bozez, e o nome da outra Senné.
5 One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
Uma penha para o norte estava defronte de Michmas, e a outra para o sul defronte de Gibeah.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
Disse pois Jonathan ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição destes incircuncisos; porventura obrará o Senhor por nós, porque para com o Senhor nenhum impedimento há de livrar com muitos ou com poucos.
7 The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
Então o seu pagem de armas lhe disse: Faze tudo o que tens no coração; volta, eis-me aqui contigo, conforme ao teu coração.
8 Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
Disse pois Jonathan: Eis que passaremos àqueles homens, e nos descobriremos a eles.
9 If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
Se nos disserem assim: parai até que cheguemos a vós; então ficaremos no nosso lugar, e não subiremos a eles.
10 But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
Porém, dizendo assim: Subi a nós; então subiremos, pois o Senhor os tem entregado na nossa mão, e isto nos será por sinal.
11 When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
Descobrindo-se ambos eles pois à guarnição dos philisteus, disseram os philisteus: Eis que já os hebreus sairam das cavernas em que se tinham escondido.
12 Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
E os homens da guarnição responderam a Jonathan e ao seu pagem de armas, e disseram: Subi a nós, e nós vo-lo ensinaremos. E disse Jonathan ao seu pagem de armas: Sobe atráz de mim, porque o Senhor os tem entregado na mão de Israel.
13 So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
Então trepou Jonathan com os pés e com as mãos, e o seu pagem de armas atráz dele: e cairam diante de Jonathan, e o seu pagem de armas os matava atráz dele.
14 In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
E sucedeu esta primeira desfeita, em que Jonathan e o seu pagem de armas feriram até uns vinte homens, quase no meio de uma geira de terra que uma junta de bois podia lavrar.
15 Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
E houve tremor no arraial, no campo e em todo o povo; também a mesma guarnição e os destruidores tremeram, e até a terra se alvoroçou, porquanto era tremor de Deus.
16 Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
Olharam pois as sentinelas de Saul em Gibeah de Benjamin, e eis que a multidão se derramava, e fugia batendo-se.
17 Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
Disse então Saul ao povo que estava com ele: Ora numerai, e vede quem é que saiu dentre nós. E numeraram, e eis que nem Jonathan nem o seu pagem de armas estavam ali
18 So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
Então Saul disse a Ahija: Traze aqui a arca de Deus (porque naquele dia estava a arca de Deus com os filhos de Israel).
19 But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
E sucedeu que, estando Saul ainda falando com o sacerdote, o alvoroço que havia no arraial dos philisteus ia crescendo muito, e se multiplicava, pelo que disse Saul ao sacerdote: Retira a tua mão.
20 Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
Então Saul e todo o povo que havia com ele se convocaram, e vieram à peleja; e eis que a espada dum era contra o outro, e houve mui grande tumulto.
21 Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
Também com os philisteus havia hebreus, como de antes, que subiram com eles ao arraial em redor; e também estes se ajuntaram com os israelitas que estavam com Saul e Jonathan.
22 Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
Ouvindo pois todos os homens de Israel que se esconderam pela montanha de Ephraim que os philisteus fugiam, eles também os perseguiram de perto na peleja.
23 So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
Assim livrou o Senhor a Israel naquele dia: e o arraial passou a Beth-aven.
24 Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
E estavam os homens de Israel já exaustos naquele dia, porquanto Saul conjurou o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer pão até à tarde, para que me vingue de meus inimigos. Pelo que todo o povo se absteve de provar pão
25 The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
E toda a terra chegou a um bosque: e havia mel na superfície do campo.
26 They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
E, chegando o povo ao bosque, eis que havia um manancial de mel: porém ninguém chegou a mão à boca porque o povo temia a conjuração
27 But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
Porém Jonathan não tinha ouvido quando seu pai conjurava o povo, e estendeu a ponta da vara que tinha na mão, e a molhou no favo de mel; e, tornando a mão à boca, aclararam-se os seus olhos.
28 But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
Então respondeu um do povo, e disse: solenemente conjurou teu pai o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer hoje pão. Pelo que o povo desfalecia.
29 Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
Então disse Jonathan: Meu pai tem turbado a terra; ora vede como se me aclararam os olhos por ter gostado um pouco deste mel,
30 If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
Quanto mais se o povo hoje livremente tivesse comido do despojo que achou de seus inimigos. Porém agora não foi tão grande o estrago dos philisteus.
31 The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
Feriram porém aquele dia aos philisteus, desde Michmas até Ajalon, e o povo desfaleceu em extremo.
32 They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
Então o povo se lançou ao despojo, e tomaram ovelhas, e vacas, e bezerros, e os degolaram no chão; e o povo os comeu com sangue.
33 One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
E o anunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que o povo peca contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. E disse ele: Aleivosamente obrastes; revolvei-me hoje uma grande pedra.
34 After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
Disse mais Saul: derramai-vos entre o povo, e dizei-lhes: Trazei-me cada um o seu boi, e cada um a sua ovelha, e degolai-os aqui, e comei, e não pequeis contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. Então todo o povo trouxe de noite, cada um com a sua mão, o seu boi, e os degolaram ali.
35 That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
Então edificou Saul um altar ao Senhor: este foi o primeiro altar que edificou ao Senhor.
36 Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
Depois disse Saul: Desçamos de noite atráz dos philisteus, e despojemo-los, até que amanheça a luz, e não deixemos de resto um homem deles. E disseram: Tudo o que parecer bem aos teus olhos faze. Disse porém o sacerdote: Cheguemo-nos aqui a Deus
37 So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
Então consultou Saul a Deus, dizendo: Descerei atráz dos philisteus? entrega-los-ás na mão de Israel? Porém aquele dia lhe não respondeu.
38 Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
Então disse Saul: chegai-vos para cá de todos os chefes do povo, e informai-vos, e vede em que se cometeu hoje este pecado;
39 Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
Porque vive o Senhor que salva a Israel, que, ainda que fosse em meu filho Jonathan, certamente morrerá. E nenhum de todo o povo lhe respondeu.
40 Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
Disse mais a todo o Israel: Vós estareis de uma banda, e eu e meu filho Jonathan estaremos da outra banda. Então disse o povo a Saul: Faze o que parecer bem aos teus olhos.
41 Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
Falou pois Saul ao Senhor Deus de Israel: Mostra o inocente. Então Jonathan e Saul foram tomados por sorte, e o povo saiu livre.
42 Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
Então disse Saul: lançai a sorte entre mim e Jonathan, meu filho. E foi tomado Jonathan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
Disse então Saul a Jonathan: Declara-me o que tens feito. E Jonathan lho declarou, e disse: Tão somente gostei um pouco de mel com a ponta da vara que tinha na mão; eis que devo morrer.
44 Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
Então disse Saul: Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, que com certeza morrerás, Jonathan.
45 But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
Porém o povo disse a Saul: Morrerá Jonathan, que obrou tão grande salvação em Israel? nunca tal suceda; vive o Senhor, que não lhe há de cair no chão um só cabelo da sua cabeça! pois com Deus fez isso hoje. Assim o povo livrou a Jonathan, para que não morresse.
46 Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
E Saul deixou de seguir os philisteus: e os philisteus se foram ao seu lugar.
47 After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
Então tomou Saul o reino sobre Israel; e pelejou contra todos os seus inimigos em redor: contra Moab, e contra os filhos de Ammon, e contra Edom, e contra os reis de Zoba, e contra os philisteus, e para onde quer que se tornava executava castigos.
48 Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
E houve-se valorosamente, e feriu aos amalequitas: e libertou a Israel da mão dos que o saqueavam.
49 Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
E os filhos de Saul eram Jonathan, e Isvi, e Malchisua: e os nomes de suas duas filhas eram estes: o nome da mais velha Merab, e o nome da mais nova, Michal.
50 Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
E o nome da mulher de Saul, Ahinoam, filha de Ahimaas: e o nome do general do exército, Abner, filho de Ner, tio de Saul.
51 Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
E Kis, pai de Saul, e Ner, pai de Abner, eram filhos de Abiel.
52 All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
E houve uma forte guerra contra os philisteus, todos os dias de Saul: pelo que Saul a todos os homens valentes e valorosos que via os agregava a si.
