< 1 Samuel 13 >
1 Um anno tinha estado Saul em seu reinado: e o segundo anno reinou sobre Israel.
And Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of the men of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand who were in Machmas, and in mount Baethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every man to his tent.
2 Então Saul escolheu para si tres mil de Israel; e estavam com Saul dois mil em Michmas, e na montanha de Beth-el, e mil estavam com Jonathan em Gibeah de Benjamin: e o resto do povo despediu, cada um para sua casa.
3 E Jonathan feriu a guarnição dos philisteos que estava em Gibeah, o que os philisteos ouviram: pelo que Saul tocou a trombeta por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreos.
And Jonathan smote Nasib the Philistine that dwelt in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have despised [us].
4 Então todo o Israel ouviu dizer: Saul feriu a guarnição dos philisteos, e tambem Israel se fez abominavel aos philisteos. Então o povo foi convocado atraz de Saul em Gilgal.
And all Israel heard say, Saul has smitten Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Galgala.
5 E os philisteos se ajuntaram para pelejar contra Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavalleiros, e povo em multidão como a areia que está á borda do mar; e subiram, e se acamparam em Michmas, ao oriente de Beth-aven.
And the Philistines gather together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Machmas, opposite Baethoron southward.
6 Vendo pois os homens de Israel que estava em angustia (porque o povo estava apertado) o povo se escondeu pelas cavernas, e pelos espinhaes, e pelos penhascos, e pelas fortificações, e pelas covas.
And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait so that they could not draw nigh, and the people hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and pits.
7 E os hebreos passaram o Jordão para a terra de Gad e Gilead: e, estando Saul ainda em Gilgal, todo o povo veiu atraz d'elle tremendo.
And they that went over went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Galaad: and Saul was yet in Galgala, and all the people followed after him in amazement.
8 E esperou sete dias, até ao tempo que Samuel determinara; não vindo, porém, Samuel a Gilgal, o povo se espalhava d'elle.
And he continued seven days for the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to Galgala, and his people were dispersed from him.
9 Então disse Saul: Trazei-me aqui um holocausto, e offertas pacificas. E offereceu o holocausto.
And Saul said, Bring hither [victims], that I may offer whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and he offered the whole-burnt-offering.
10 E succedeu que, acabando elle de offerecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul lhe saiu ao encontro, para o saudar.
And it came to pass when he had finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to meet him, [and] to bless him.
11 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 philisteos já se tinham ajuntado em Michmas,
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and thou was not present as thou purposedst according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.
12 Eu disse: Agora descerão os philisteos sobre mim a Gilgal, e ainda á face do Senhor não orei: e violentei-me, e offereci holocausto.
Then I said, Now will the Philistines come down to me to Galgala, and I have not sought the face of the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole-burnt-offering.
13 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.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; for thou hast not kept my command, which the Lord commanded thee, as now the Lord would have confirmed thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
14 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
But now thy kingdom shall not stand to thee, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people, because thou hast not kept all that the Lord commanded thee.
15 Então se levantou Samuel, e subiu de Gilgal a Gibeah de Benjamin: e Saul numerou o povo que achou com elle, uns seiscentos varões.
And Samuel arose, and departed from Galgala, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet [him] after the men of war, when they had come out of Galgala to Gabaa of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.
16 E Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, e o povo que se achou com elles, ficaram em Gibeah de Benjamin: porém os philisteos se acamparam em Michmas.
And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, halted in Gabaa, of Benjamin; and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Machmas.
17 E os destruidores sairam do campo dos philisteos em tres companhias: uma das companhias voltou pelo caminho d'Ophra á terra de Sual:
And men came forth to destroy out of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by the way of Gophera toward the land of Sogal,
18 Outra companhia voltou pelo caminho de Beth-horon: e a outra companhia voltou pelo caminho do termo que olha para o valle Zeboim contra o deserto.
and another company turning the way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Gai of Sabim.
19 E em toda a terra de Israel nem um ferreiro se achava: porque os philisteos tinham dito: Para que os hebreos não façam espada nem lança.
And there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear.
20 Pelo que todo o Israel tinha que descer aos philisteos para amolar cada um a sua relha, e a sua enxada, e o seu machado, e o seu sacho.
And all Israel went down to the Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle.
21 Tinham porém limas adentadas para os seus sachos, e para as suas enxadas, e para as forquilhas de tres dentes, e para os machados, e para concertar as aguilhadas.
And it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were [valued at] three shekels for a plough-share, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.
22 E succedeu 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.
And it came to pass in the days of the war of Machmas, that there was not a sword or spear found in the hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found.
23 E saiu a guarnição dos philisteos ao passo de Michmas.
And there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.
