1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
Os philisteus, pois, pelejaram contra Israel: e os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos philisteus, e cairam atravessados na montanha de Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
E os philisteus apertaram com Saul e seus filhos: e os philisteus mataram a Jonathan, e a Abinadab, e a Malchisua, filhos de Saul.
3 And the battle was severe against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was severely wounded by the archers.
E a peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos flecheiros.
4 Then said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
Então disse Saul ao seu pagem de armas: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que porventura não venham estes incircuncisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Porém o seu pagem de armas não quis, porque temia muito: então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ela.
5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
Vendo pois o seu pagem de armas que Saul já era morto, também ele se lançou sobre a 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 faleceu Saul, e seus três filhos, e o seu pagem de armas, e também todos os homens morreram juntamente naquele dia.
7 And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
E, vendo os homens de Israel, que estavam desta banda do vale e desta banda do Jordão, que os homens de Israel fugiram, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, desampararam as cidades, e fugiram; e vieram os philisteus, e habitaram nelas.
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 fallen in mount Gilboa.
Sucedeu pois que, vindo os philisteus ao outro dia a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus três filhos estirados na montanha de Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.
E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e o despojaram das suas armas, e enviaram pela terra dos philisteus, em redor, a anuncia-lo no templo dos seus ídolos e entre o povo.
10 And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
E puseram as suas armas no templo de Astaroth, e o seu corpo o afixaram no muro de Beth-san.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
Ouvindo então isto os moradores de Jabez-gilead, o que os philisteus fizeram a Saul,
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt 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 they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo dum arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
