1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
Um ano tinha estado Saul em seu reinado: e o segundo ano reinou sobre Israel.
2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
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 Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the shofar 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 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered 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 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of 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 trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, 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 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but 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 He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
E esperou sete dias, até ao tempo que Samuel determinara; não vindo, porém, Samuel a Gilgal, o povo se espalhava dele.
9 Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
Então disse Saul: Trazei-me aqui um holocausto, e ofertas pacíficas. E ofereceu o holocausto.
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
E sucedeu que, acabando ele de oferecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul lhe saiu ao encontro, para o saudar.
11 Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together 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 I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favour of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the 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 Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
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 your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”
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 Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who 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 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba 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 The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads 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 another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on 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 blacksmith found throughout all Eretz-Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves 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, each man to sharpen his own ploughshare, mattock, axe, and sickle.
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 The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, ploughshares, pitchforks, axes, and 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 neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
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 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
E saiu a guarnição dos philisteus ao passo de Michmas.
