1 Samuel 4
1 E veiu a palavra de Samuel a todo o Israel: e Israel saiu ao encontro, á peleja, aos philisteos, e se acamparam junto a Eben-ezer: e os philisteos se acamparam junto a Afek.
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together against Israel to war; and Israel went out to meet them and encamped at Abenezer, and the Philistines encamped in Aphec.
2 E os philisteos se dispozeram em ordem de batalha, para sair ao encontro a Israel; e, estendendo-se a peleja, Israel foi ferido diante dos philisteos, porque feriram na batalha, no campo, uns quatro mil homens.
And the Philistines prepare to fight with Israel, and the battle was turned against them; and the men of Israel fell before the Philistines, and there were smitten in the battle in the field four thousand men.
3 E tornando o povo ao arraial, disseram os anciãos d'Israel: Porque nos feriu o Senhor hoje diante dos philisteos? tragamos de Silo a arca do concerto do Senhor, e venha no meio de nós, para que nos livre da mão de nossos inimigos.
And the people came to the camp, and the elders of Israel said, Why has the Lord caused us to fall this day before the Philistines? let us take the ark of our God out of Selom, and let it proceed from the midst of us, and it shall save us from the hand of our enemies.
4 Enviou pois o povo a Silo, e trouxeram de lá a arca do concerto do Senhor dos exercitos, que habita entre os cherubins: e os dois filhos d'Eli, Hophni e Phineas estavam ali com a arca do concerto de Deus.
And the people sent to Selom, and they take thence the ark of the Lord who dwells between the cherubs: and both the sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, [were] with the ark.
5 E succedeu que, vindo a arca do concerto do Senhor ao arraial, todo o Israel jubilou com grande jubilo, até que a terra estremeceu.
And it came to pass when the ark of the Lord entered into the camp, that all Israel cried out with a loud voice, and the earth resounded.
6 E os philisteos, ouvindo a voz do jubilo, disseram: Que voz de tão grande jubilo é esta no arraial dos hebreos? então souberam que a arca do Senhor era vinda ao arraial.
And the Philistines heard the cry, and the Philistines said, What [is] this great cry in the camp of the Hebrews: and they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 Pelo que os philisteos se atemorisaram; porque diziam: Deus veiu ao arraial. E diziam mais: Ai de nós! que tal nunca jámais succedeu antes.
And the Philistines feared, and said, These are the Gods that are come to them into the camp.
8 Ai de nós! quem nos livrará da mão d'estes grandiosos deuses? estes são os deuses que feriram aos egypcios com todas as pragas junto ao deserto.
Woe to us, O Lord, deliver us to-day for such a thing has not happened aforetime: woe to us, who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that smote Egypt with every plague, and in the wilderness.
9 Esforçae-vos, e sêde homens, ó philisteos, para que porventura não venhaes a servir aos hebreos, como elles serviram a vós; sêde pois homens, e pelejae.
Strengthen yourselves and behave yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye may not serve the Hebrews as they have served us, but be ye men and fight with them.
10 Então pelejaram os philisteos, e Israel foi ferido, e fugiram cada um para a sua tenda; e foi tão grande o estrago, que cairam de Israel trinta mil homens de pé.
And they fought with them; and the men of Israel fall, and they fled every man to his ten; and there was a very great slaughter; and there fell of Israel thirty thousand fighting men.
11 E foi tomada a arca de Deus: e os dois filhos d'Eli, Hophni e Phineas, morreram.
And the ark of God was taken, and both the sons of Heli, Ophni, and Phinees, died.
12 Então correu da batalha um homem de Benjamin, e chegou no mesmo dia a Silo: e trazia os vestidos rotos, e terra sobre a cabeça.
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and he came to Selom on that day: and his clothes [were] rent, and earth [was] upon his head.
13 E, chegando elle, eis que Eli estava assentado sobre uma cadeira, vigiando ao pé do caminho; porquanto o seu coração estava tremendo pela arca de Deus: entrando pois aquelle homem a annunciar isto na cidade, toda a cidade gritou.
And he came, an behold, Heli was upon the seat by the gate looking along the way, for his heart was greatly alarmed for the ark of God: and the man entered into the city to bring tidings; and the city cried out.
14 E Eli, ouvindo a voz do grito, disse: Que voz de alvoroço é esta? Então chegou aquelle homem a grande pressa, e veiu, e o annunciou a Eli.
And Heli heard the sound of the cry, and said, What [is] the voice of this cry? and the men hasted and went in, and reported to Heli.
15 E era Eli da edade de noventa e oito annos: e estavam os seus olhos tão escurecidos, que já não podia ver.
Now Heli [was] ninety years old, and his eyes were fixed, and he saw not.
16 E disse aquelle homem a Eli: Eu sou o que venho da batalha; porque eu fugi hoje da batalha. E disse elle: Que coisa succedeu, filho meu?
And Heli said to them that stood round about him, What [is] the voice of this sound? And the man hasted and advanced to Heli, and said to him, I am he that is come out of the camp, and I have fled from the battle to-day: and Heli said, What [is] the even, [my] son?
17 Então respondeu o que trazia as novas, e disse: Israel fugiu de diante dos philisteos, e houve tambem grande desfeita entre o povo: e, de mais d'isto, tambem teus dois filhos, Hophni e Phineas, morreram, e a arca de Deus é tomada.
And they young man answered and said, The men of Israel fled from the face of the Philistines, and there was a great slaughter among the people, and both thy sons are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18 E succedeu que, fazendo elle menção da arca de Deus, Eli caiu da cadeira para traz, da banda da porta, e quebrou-se-lhe o pescoço e morreu: porquanto o homem era velho e pesado; e tinha elle julgado a Israel quarenta annos.
And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from the seat backward near the gate, and his back was broken, and he died, for [he was] an old man and heavy: and he judged Israel twenty years.
19 E, estando sua nora, a mulher de Phineas, gravida, e proxima ao parto, e ouvindo estas novas, de que a arca de Deus era tomada, e de que seu sogro e seu marido morreram, encurvou-se e pariu; porquanto as dores lhe sobrevieram.
And his daughter-in-law the wife of Phinees [was] with child, [about] to bring forth; and she heard the tidings, that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead; and she wept and was delivered, for her pains came upon her.
20 E, ao tempo em que ia morrendo, disseram as mulheres que estavam com ella: Não temas, pois pariste um filho. Ella porém não respondeu, nem fez caso d'isso.
And in her time she was at the point of death; and the women that stood by her, said to her, Fear not, for thou hast born a son: but she answered not, and her heart did not regard it.
21 E chamou ao menino Icabod, dizendo: Foi-se a gloria de Israel. Porquanto a arca de Deus foi levada presa, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.
And she called the child Uaebarchaboth, because of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law, and because of her husband.
22 E disse: De Israel a gloria é levada presa: pois é tomada a arca de Deus.
And they said, The glory of Israel is departed, forasmuch as the ark of the Lord is taken.
