1 Samuel 31
1 Os philisteos, pois, pelejaram contra Israel: e os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos philisteos, e cairam atravessados na montanha de Gilboa.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 E os philisteos apertaram com Saul e seus filhos: e os philisteos mataram a Jonathan, e a Abinadab, e a Malchisua, filhos de Saul.
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.
3 E a peleja se aggravou contra Saul, e os frecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos frecheiros.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Então disse Saul ao seu pagem d'armas: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ella, para que porventura não venham estes incircumcisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Porém o seu pagem d'armas não quiz, porque temia muito: então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ella.
Then said Saul unto his armour bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 Vendo pois o seu pagem d'armas que Saul já era morto, tambem elle se lançou sobre a sua espada, e morreu com elle.
And when his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Assim falleceu Saul, e seus tres filhos, e o seu pagem d'armas, e tambem todos os homens morreram juntamente n'aquelle dia.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 E, vendo os homens d'Israel, que estavam d'esta banda do valle e d'esta banda do Jordão, que os homens d'Israel fugiram, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, desampararam as cidades, e fugiram; e vieram os philisteos, e habitaram n'ellas.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Succedeu pois que, vindo os philisteos ao outro dia a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus tres filhos estirados na montanha de Gilboa.
And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e o despojaram das suas armas, e enviaram pela terra dos philisteos, em redor, a annuncial-o no templo dos seus idolos e entre o povo.
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 E pozeram as suas armas no templo d'Astaroth, e o seu corpo o affixaram no muro de Beth-san.
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
11 Ouvindo então isto os moradores de Jabez-gilead, o que os philisteos fizeram a Saul,
And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 Todo o homem valoroso se levantou, e caminharam toda a noite, e tiraram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Beth-san, e, vindo a Jabez, os queimaram.
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo d'um arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
