1 Samuel 14

1 Succedeu pois que um dia disse Jonathan, filho de Saul, ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos á guarnição dos philisteos, que está lá d'aquella banda. Porém não o fez saber a seu pae

Now it came to pass on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.

2 E estava Saul á extremidade de Gibeah, debaixo da romeira que estava em Migron; e o povo que havia com elle eram uns seiscentos homens.

And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;

3 E Ahija, filho d'Ahitub, irmão d'Icabod, o filho de Phineas, filho d'Eli, sacerdote do Senhor em Silo, trazia o ephod: porém o povo não sabia que Jonathan tinha ido.

And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD’s priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

4 E entre os passos pelos quaes Jonathan procurava passar á guarnição dos philisteos, d'esta banda havia uma penha aguda, e da outra banda uma penha aguda: e era o nome de uma Bozez, e o nome da outra Senné.

And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 Uma penha para o norte estava defronte de Michmas, e a outra para o sul defronte de Gibeah.

The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

6 Disse pois Jonathan ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos á guarnição d'estes incircumcisos; porventura obrará o Senhor por nós, porque para com o Senhor nenhum impedimento ha de livrar com muitos ou com poucos.

And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

7 Então o seu pagem d'armas lhe disse: Faze tudo o que tens no coração; volta, eis-me aqui comtigo, conforme ao teu coração.

And his armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in your heart: turn you; behold, I am with you according to your heart.

8 Disse pois Jonathan: Eis que passaremos áquelles homens, e nos descobriremos a elles.

Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to these men, and we will discover ourselves to them.

9 Se nos disserem assim: Parae até que cheguemos a vós; então ficaremos no nosso logar, e não subiremos a elles.

If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.

10 Porém, dizendo assim: Subi a nós; então subiremos, pois o Senhor os tem entregado na nossa mão, e isto nos será por signal.

But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up: for the LORD has delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign to us.

11 Descobrindo-se ambos elles pois á guarnição dos philisteos, disseram os philisteos: Eis que já os hebreos sairam das cavernas em que se tinham escondido.

And both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

12 E os homens da guarnição responderam a Jonathan e ao seu pagem d'armas, e disseram: Subi a nós, e nós vol-o ensinaremos. E disse Jonathan ao seu pagem d'armas: Sobe atraz de mim, porque o Senhor os tem entregado na mão d'Israel.

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me: for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.

13 Então trepou Jonathan com os pés e com as mãos, e o seu pagem d'armas atraz d'elle: e cairam diante de Jonathan, e o seu pagem d'armas os matava atraz d'elle.

And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer slew after him.

14 E succedeu esta primeira desfeita, em que Jonathan e o seu pagem d'armas feriram até uns vinte homens, quasi no meio de uma geira de terra que uma junta de bois podia lavrar.

And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.

15 E houve tremor no arraial, no campo e em todo o povo; tambem a mesma guarnição e os destruidores tremeram, e até a terra se alvoroçou, porquanto era tremor de Deus.

And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

16 Olharam pois as sentinellas de Saul em Gibeah de Benjamin, e eis que a multidão se derramava, e fugia batendo-se.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

17 Disse então Saul ao povo que estava com elle: Ora numerae, e vêde quem é que saiu d'entre nós. E numeraram, e eis que nem Jonathan nem o seu pagem d'armas estavam ali

Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

18 Então Saul disse a Ahija: Traze aqui a arca de Deus (porque n'aquelle dia estava a arca de Deus com os filhos d'Israel).

And Saul said to Ahiah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

19 E succedeu que, estando Saul ainda fallando com o sacerdote, o alvoroço que havia no arraial dos philisteos ia crescendo muito, e se multiplicava, pelo que disse Saul ao sacerdote: Retira a tua mão.

And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hand.

20 Então Saul e todo o povo que havia com elle se convocaram, e vieram á peleja; e eis que a espada d'um era contra o outro, e houve mui grande tumulto.

And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

21 Tambem com os philisteos havia hebreos, como d'antes, que subiram com elles ao arraial em redor; e tambem estes se ajuntaram com os israelitas que estavam com Saul e Jonathan.

Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 Ouvindo pois todos os homens d'Israel que se esconderam pela montanha d'Ephraim que os philisteos fugiam, elles tambem os perseguiram de perto na peleja.

Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

23 Assim livrou o Senhor a Israel n'aquelle dia: e o arraial passou a Beth-aven.

So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over to Bethaven.

24 E estavam os homens d'Israel já exhaustos n'aquelle dia, porquanto Saul conjurou o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer pão até á tarde, para que me vingue de meus inimigos. Pelo que todo o povo se absteve de provar pão

And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eats any food until evening, that I may be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

25 E toda a terra chegou a um bosque: e havia mel na superficie do campo.

And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey on the ground.

26 E, chegando o povo ao bosque, eis que havia um manancial de mel: porém ninguem chegou a mão á bocca porque o povo temia a conjuração

And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

27 Porém Jonathan não tinha ouvido quando seu pae conjurava o povo, e estendeu a ponta da vara que tinha na mão, e a molhou no favo de mel; e, tornando a mão á bocca, aclararam-se os seus olhos.

But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: why he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

28 Então respondeu um do povo, e disse: Solemnemente conjurou teu pae o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer hoje pão. Pelo que o povo desfallecia.

Then answered one of the people, and said, Your father straightly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eats any food this day. And the people were faint.

29 Então disse Jonathan: Meu pae tem turbado a terra; ora vêde como se me aclararam os olhos por ter gostado um pouco d'este mel,

Then said Jonathan, My father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 Quanto mais se o povo hoje livremente tivesse comido do despojo que achou de seus inimigos. Porém agora não foi tão grande o estrago dos philisteos.

How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

31 Feriram porém aquelle dia aos philisteos, desde Michmas até Ajalon, e o povo desfalleceu em extremo.

And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.

32 Então o povo se lançou ao despojo, e tomaram ovelhas, e vaccas, e bezerros, e os degolaram no chão; e o povo os comeu com sangue.

And the people flew on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

33 E o annunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que o povo pecca contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. E disse elle: Aleivosamente obrastes; revolvei-me hoje uma grande pedra.

Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, You have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day.

34 Disse mais Saul: Derramae-vos entre o povo, e dizei-lhes: Trazei-me cada um o seu boi, e cada um a sua ovelha, e degolae-os aqui, e comei, e não pequeis contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. Então todo o povo trouxe de noite, cada um com a sua mão, o seu boi, e os degolaram ali.

And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

35 Então edificou Saul um altar ao Senhor: este foi o primeiro altar que edificou ao Senhor.

And Saul built an altar to the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built to the LORD.

36 Depois disse Saul: Desçamos de noite atraz dos philisteos, e despojemol-os, até que amanheça a luz, e não deixemos de resto um homem d'elles. E disseram: Tudo o que parecer bem aos teus olhos faze. Disse porém o sacerdote: Cheguemo-nos aqui a Deus

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to you. Then said the priest, Let us draw near here to God.

37 Então consultou Saul a Deus, dizendo: Descerei atraz dos philisteos? entregal-os-has na mão de Israel? Porém aquelle dia lhe não respondeu.

And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? will you deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

38 Então disse Saul: Chegae-vos para cá de todos os chefes do povo, e informae-vos, e vêde em que se commetteu hoje este peccado;

And Saul said, Draw you near here, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin has been this day.

39 Porque vive o Senhor que salva a Israel, que, ainda que fosse em meu filho Jonathan, certamente morrerá. E nenhum de todo o povo lhe respondeu.

For, as the LORD lives, which saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

40 Disse mais a todo o Israel: Vós estareis d'uma banda, e eu e meu filho Jonathan estaremos da outra banda. Então disse o povo a Saul: Faze o que parecer bem aos teus olhos.

Then said he to all Israel, Be you on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to you.

41 Fallou pois Saul ao Senhor Deus d'Israel: Mostra o innocente. Então Jonathan e Saul foram tomados por sorte, e o povo saiu livre.

Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

42 Então disse Saul: Lançae a sorte entre mim e Jonathan, meu filho. E foi tomado Jonathan.

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

43 Disse então Saul a Jonathan: Declara-me o que tens feito. E Jonathan lh'o declarou, e disse: Tão sómente gostei um pouco de mel com a ponta da vara que tinha na mão; eis que devo morrer.

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and, see, I must die.

44 Então disse Saul: Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, que com certeza morrerás, Jonathan.

And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for you shall surely die, Jonathan.

45 Porém o povo disse a Saul: Morrerá Jonathan, que obrou tão grande salvação em Israel? nunca tal succeda; vive o Senhor, que não lhe ha de cair no chão um só cabello da sua cabeça! pois com Deus fez isso hoje. Assim o povo livrou a Jonathan, para que não morresse.

And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

46 E Saul deixou de seguir os philisteos: e os philisteos se foram ao seu logar.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

47 Então tomou Saul o reino sobre Israel; e pelejou contra todos os seus inimigos em redor: contra Moab, e contra os filhos de Ammon, e contra Edom, e contra os reis de Zoba, e contra os philisteos, e para onde quer que se tornava executava castigos.

So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he vexed them.

48 E houve-se valorosamente, e feriu aos amalekitas: e libertou a Israel da mão dos que o saqueavam.

And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

49 E os filhos de Saul eram Jonathan, e Isvi, e Malchisua: e os nomes de suas duas filhas eram estes: o nome da mais velha Merab, e o nome da mais nova, Michal.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

50 E o nome da mulher de Saul, Ahinoam, filha d'Ahimaas: e o nome do general do exercito, Abner, filho de Ner, tio de Saul.

And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

51 E Kis, pae de Saul, e Ner, pae d'Abner, eram filhos d'Abiel.

And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

52 E houve uma forte guerra contra os philisteos, todos os dias de Saul: pelo que Saul a todos os homens valentes e valorosos que via os aggregava a si.

And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
