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 to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to 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 put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about 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 returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may 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.
So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
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 when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.
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 noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout 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 were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:
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: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.
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.
Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.
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.
So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
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 the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.
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 army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.
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 when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all 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 noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told 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 and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.
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 he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, 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 he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, 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 when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty 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 big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.
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 when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.
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 Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:
22 E disse: De Israel a gloria é levada presa: pois é tomada a arca de Deus.
And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.
