< 1 Samuel 13 >
1 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
Um ano tinha estado Saul em seu reinado: e o segundo ano reinou sobre Israel.
2 Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel; [of which] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Então Saul escolheu para si três mil de Israel; e estavam com Saul dois mil em Michmas, e na montanha de bethel, e mil estavam com Jonathan em Gibeah de Benjamin: e o resto do povo despediu, cada um para sua casa.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba; and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
E Jonathan feriu a guarnição dos philisteus que estava em Gibeah, o que os philisteus ouviram: pelo que Saul tocou a trombeta por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreus.
4 And all Israel heard it said [that] Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines: and the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
Então todo o Israel ouviu dizer: Saul feriu a guarnição dos philisteus, e também Israel se fez abominável aos philisteus. Então o povo foi convocado atráz de Saul em Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Beth-aven.
E os philisteus se ajuntaram para pelejar contra Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavaleiros, e povo em multidão como a areia que está à borda do mar; e subiram, e se acamparam em Michmas, ao oriente de Beth-aven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed) then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
Vendo pois os homens de Israel que estava em angústia (porque o povo estava apertado) o povo se escondeu pelas cavernas, e pelos espinhais, e pelos penhascos, e pelas fortificações, e pelas covas.
7 And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
E os hebreus passaram o Jordão para a terra de Gad e Gilead: e, estando Saul ainda em Gilgal, todo o povo veio atráz dele tremendo.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: 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 dele.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt-offering to me, and peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.
Então disse Saul: Trazei-me aqui um holocausto, e ofertas pacíficas. E ofereceu o holocausto.
10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
E sucedeu que, acabando ele de oferecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul lhe saiu ao encontro, para o saudar.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that] thou camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the Philistines assembled at 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 philisteus já se tinham ajuntado em Michmas,
12 Therefore said I, the Philistines will now come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD; I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt-offering.
Eu disse: Agora descerão os philisteus sobre mim a Gilgal, e ainda à face do Senhor não orei: e violentei-me, e ofereci holocausto.
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
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 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD 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 went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present 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 ele, uns seiscentos varões.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people [that were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
E Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, e o povo que se achou com eles, ficaram em Gibeah de Benjamin: porém os philisteus se acamparam em Michmas.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way [that leadeth to] Ophrah, to the land of Shual:
E os destruidores sairam do campo dos philisteus em três companhias: uma das companhias voltou pelo caminho de Ophra à terra de Sual:
18 And another company turned the way [to] Beth-horon: and another company turned [to] the way of the border that looketh to 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 vale Zeboim contra o deserto.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: (for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them] swords or spears: )
E em toda a terra de Israel nem um ferreiro se achava: porque os philisteus tinham dito: Para que os hebreus não façam espada nem lança.
20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his colter, and his ax, and his mattock.
Pelo que todo o Israel tinha que descer aos philisteus para amolar cada um a sua relha, e a sua enxada, e o seu machado, e o seu sacho.
21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the colters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
Tinham porém limas adentadas para os seus sachos, e para as suas enxadas, e para as forquilhas de três dentes, e para os machados, e para concertar as aguilhadas.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
E sucedeu 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 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
E saiu a guarnição dos philisteus ao passo de Michmas.
