< 1 Samuel 28 >
1 E succedeu n'aquelles dias que, juntando os philisteos os seus exercitos á peleja, para fazer guerra contra Israel, disse Achis a David: Sabe de certo que comigo sairás ao arraial, tu e os teus homens.
Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”
2 Então disse David a Achis: Assim saberás tu o que fará o teu servo. E disse Achis a David: Por isso te terei por guarda da minha cabeça para sempre.
And David said to Achish, “You know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”
3 E já Samuel era morto, e todo o Israel o tinha chorado, e o tinha sepultado em Rama, que era a sua cidade: e Saul tinha desterrado os adivinhos e os encantadores.
Now Samuel was dead, and all of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.
4 E ajuntaram-se os philisteos, e vieram, e acamparam-se em Sunem: e ajuntou Saul a todo o Israel, e se acamparam em Gilboa.
And the Philistines gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at Gilboa.
5 E, vendo Saul o arraial dos philisteos, temeu, e estremeceu muito o seu coração.
And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
6 E perguntou Saul ao Senhor, porém o Senhor lhe não respondeu, nem por sonhos, nem por Urim, nem por prophetas.
And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
7 Então disse Saul aos seus creados: Buscae-me uma mulher que tenha o espirito de feiticeira, para que vá a ella, e consulte por ella. E os seus creados lhe disseram: Eis que em Endor ha uma mulher que tem o espirito d'adivinhar.
And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”
8 E Saul se disfarçou e vestiu outros vestidos, e foi elle, e com elle dois homens, e de noite vieram á mulher; e disse: Peço-te que me adivinhes pelo espirito de feiticeira, e me faças subir a quem eu te disser.
Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”
9 Então a mulher lhe disse: Eis aqui tu sabes o que Saul fez, como tem destruido da terra os adivinhos e os encantadores: porque, pois, me armas um laço á minha vida, para me fazer matar?
And the woman said to him: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to death?”
10 Então Saul lhe jurou pelo Senhor, dizendo: Vive o Senhor, que nenhum mal te sobrevirá por isso.
And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
11 A mulher então lhe disse: A quem te farei subir? E disse elle: Faze-me subir a Samuel.
And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
12 Vendo pois a mulher a Samuel, gritou com alta voz, e a mulher fallou a Saul, dizendo: Porque me tens enganado? pois tu mesmo és Saul.
And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? For you are Saul!”
13 E o rei lhe disse: Não temas: porém que é o que vês? Então a mulher disse a Saul: Vejo deuses que sobem da terra.
And the king said to her: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from the earth.”
14 E lhe disse: Como é a sua figura? E disse ella: Vem subindo um homem ancião, e está envolto n'uma capa. Entendendo Saul que era Samuel, inclinou-se com o rosto em terra, e se prostrou.
And he said to her, “What appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.
15 Samuel disse a Saul: Porque me desinquietaste, fazendo-me subir? Então disse Saul: Mui angustiado estou, porque os philisteos guerreiam contra mim, e Deus se tem desviado de mim, e não me responde mais, nem pelo ministerio dos prophetas, nem por sonhos; por isso te chamei a ti, para que me faças saber o que hei de fazer.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should do.”
16 Então disse Samuel: Porque pois a mim me perguntas, visto que o Senhor te tem desamparado, e se tem feito teu inimigo?
And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
17 Porque o Senhor tem feito para comtigo como pela minha bocca te disse, e tem rasgado o reino da tua mão, e o tem dado ao teu companheiro David.
For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor David.
18 Como tu não déste ouvidos á voz do Senhor, e não executaste o fervor da sua ira contra Amalek, por isso o Senhor te fez hoje isto.
For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.
19 E o Senhor entregará tambem a Israel comtigo na mão dos philisteos, e ámanhã tu e teus filhos estareis comigo; e o arraial de Israel o Senhor entregará na mão dos philisteos.
And the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
20 E immediatamente Saul caiu estendido por terra, e grandemente temeu por causa d'aquellas palavras de Samuel: e não houve força n'elle; porque não tinha comido pão todo aquelle dia e toda aquella noite.
And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.
21 Então veiu a mulher a Saul, e, vendo que estava tão perturbado, disse-lhe: Eis que deu ouvidos a tua creada á tua voz, e puz a minha vida na minha mão, e ouvi as palavras que disseste.
And so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.
22 Agora pois ouve tambem tu as palavras da tua serva, e porei um bocado de pão diante de ti, e come, para que tenhas forças para te pôres a caminho.
And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”
23 Porém elle o recusou, e disse: Não comerei. Porém os seus creados e a mulher o constrangeram; e deu ouvidos á sua voz: e levantou-se do chão, e se assentou sobre uma cama
But he refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon the bed.
24 E tinha a mulher em casa uma bezerra cevada, e se apressou, e a degolou, e tomou farinha, e a amassou, e a cozeu em bolos asmos.
Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked unleavened bread.
25 E os trouxe diante de Saul e de seus creados, e comeram: depois levantaram-se e se foram n'aquella mesma noite.
And she set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.
