1 Samuel 11
1 Então subiu Nahas, ammonita, e sitiou a Jabez-gilead: e disseram todos os homens de Jabez a Nahas: Faze alliança comnosco, e te serviremos.
And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.
2 Porém Nahas, ammonita, lhes disse: Com esta condição farei alliança comvosco: que a todos vos arranque o olho direito, e assim ponha esta affronta sobre todo o Israel.
Naas the Ammanite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.
3 Então os anciãos de Jabez lhe disseram: Deixa-nos por sete dias, para que enviemos mensageiros por todos os termos de Israel, e, não havendo ninguem que nos livre, então sairemos a ti.
And the men of Jabis say to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.
4 E, vindo os mensageiros a Gibeah de Saul, fallaram estas palavras aos ouvidos do povo. Então todo o povo levantou a sua voz, e chorou.
And the messengers came to Gabaa to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 E eis que Saul vinha do campo, atraz dos bois; e disse Saul: Que tem o povo, que chora? E contaram-lhe as palavras dos homens de Jabez.
And, behold, Saul came after the early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people week? and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.
6 Então o espirito de Deus se apoderou de Saul, ouvindo estas palavras: e accendeu-se em grande maneira a sua ira.
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled against them.
7 E tomou um par de bois, e cortou-os em pedaços, e os enviou a todos os termos de Israel pelas mãos dos mensageiros, dizendo: Qualquer que não sair atraz de Saul e atraz de Samuel, assim se fará aos seus bois. Então caiu o temor do Senhor sobre o povo, e sairam como um só homem
And he took two cows, and cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.
8 E contou-os em Bezek: e houve dos filhos d'Israel trezentos mil, e dos homens de Judah trinta mil.
And he reviews them at Bezec in Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda seventy thousand.
9 Então disseram aos mensageiros que vieram: Assim direis aos homens de Jabez-gilead: Amanhã, em aquecendo o sol, vos virá livramento. Vindo pois os mensageiros, e annunciando-o aos homens de Jabez, se alegraram.
And he said to the messengers that came, Thus shall you say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow you shall have deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.
10 E os homens de Jabez disseram: Ámanhã sairemos a vós; então nos fareis conforme a tudo o que parecer bem aos vossos olhos.
And the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and you shall do to us what seems good in your sight.
11 E succedeu que ao outro dia Saul poz o povo em tres companhias, e vieram ao meio do arraial pela vela da manhã, e feriram a Ammon, até que o dia aqueceu: e succedeu que os restantes se espalharam, que não ficaram dois d'elles juntos.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they struck the children of Ammon until the day was hot; at it came to pass that those who were left were scattered, and there were not left among them two together.
12 Então disse o povo a Samuel: Quem é aquelle que dizia que Saul não reinaria sobre nós? Dae cá aquelles homens, e os mataremos.
And the people said to Samuel, Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we will put them to death.
13 Porém Saul disse: Hoje não morrerá nenhum, pois hoje tem obrado o Senhor um livramento em Israel.
And Saul said, No man shall die this day, for today the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.
14 E disse Samuel ao povo: Vinde, vamos nós a Gilgal, e renovemos ali o reino.
And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.
15 E todo o povo partiu para Gilgal, e levantaram ali a Saul por rei perante o Senhor em Gilgal, e offereceram ali offertas pacificas perante o Senhor: e Saul se alegrou muito ali com todos os homens d'Israel.
And all the people went to Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
