< 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
And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; 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 sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him 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 Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom 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 in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.
5 Uma penha para o norte estava defronte de Michmas, e a outra para o sul defronte de Gibeah.
The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.
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, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened 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 your heart inclines toward: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your heart.
8 Disse pois Jonathan: Eis que passaremos áquelles homens, e nos descobriremos a elles.
And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
9 Se nos disserem assim: Parae até que cheguemos a vós; então ficaremos no nosso logar, e não subiremos a elles.
If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against 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 should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; 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 they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden 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 Messab 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 hands 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 went up on his hands and feet, and his armor-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armor-bearer did strike [them] 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 the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.
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 dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.
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 saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.
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
And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not found.
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 Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before 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 was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.
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 went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbor, a very great confusion.
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.
And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who 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.
And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.
23 Assim livrou o Senhor a Israel n'aquelle dia: e o arraial passou a Beth-aven.
And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.
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 Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.
25 E toda a terra chegou a um bosque: e havia mel na superficie do campo.
And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of 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 the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.
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.
And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.
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.
And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very 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,
and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have 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.
Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater.
31 Feriram porém aquelle dia aos philisteos, desde Michmas até Ajalon, e o povo desfalleceu em extremo.
And on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
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 turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate 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.
And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
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 tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed [them] there.
35 Então edificou Saul um altar ao Senhor: este foi o primeiro altar que edificou ao Senhor.
And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul 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 this night, and let us plunder among them till the day break, and let us not leave a man among them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither 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 enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in 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, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed 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 who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
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.
And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.
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.
And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and 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 my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
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.
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] die.
44 Então disse Saul: Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, que com certeza morrerás, Jonathan.
And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.
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 he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.
46 E Saul deixou de seguir os philisteos: e os philisteos se foram ao seu logar.
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their 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.
And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.
48 E houve-se valorosamente, e feriu aos amalekitas: e libertou a Israel da mão dos que o saqueavam.
And he wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.
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.
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.
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 his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
51 E Kis, pae de Saul, e Ner, pae d'Abner, eram filhos d'Abiel.
And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, 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 the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
