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 the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goes out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,

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 set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreads itself, and Israel is struck before the Philistines, and they strike among the ranks in the field 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 come into the camp, and [the] elderly of Israel say, “Why has YHWH struck us today before the Philistines? We take the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from Shiloh to ourselves, and it comes into our midst, and He saves us out of 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 send to Shiloh, and they take from there the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim, and there [are] two sons of Eli with the Ark of the Covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.

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 comes to pass, at the coming in of the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to the camp, that all Israel shouts [with] a great shout, and the earth is moved.

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 hear the noise of the shouting, and say, “What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they perceive that the Ark of YHWH has 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 are afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp”; and they say, “Woe to us, for there has been nothing like this before.

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, who delivers us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These [are] the gods who are striking the Egyptians with every plague 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 become men, O Philistines, lest you do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you—then you have become men, and have fought.”

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 the Philistines fight, and Israel is struck, and they each flee to his tents, and the slaughter is very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fall;

11 E foi tomada a arca de Deus: e os dois filhos d'Eli, Hophni e Phineas, morreram.

and the Ark of God has been taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, have 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 a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] torn, and earth [is] on 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 comes in, and behold, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart has been trembling for the Ark of God, and the man has come into the city and declares [it], and all the city cries 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 Eli hears the noise of the cry and says, “What [is] the noise of this tumult?” And the man hurried, and comes in, and tells Eli.

15 E era Eli da edade de noventa e oito annos: e estavam os seus olhos tão escurecidos, que já não podia ver.

And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to 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 the man says to Eli, “I [am] he who has come out of the ranks, and I have fled out of the ranks today”; and he says, “What has been the matter, 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 who is bearing tidings answers and says, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter has been among the people, and also your two sons have died—Hophni and Phinehas—and the Ark of God has been captured.”

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 comes to pass, at his mentioning the Ark of God, that he falls backward from off the throne, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dies, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he has judged Israel [for] 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, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she hears the report of the taking of the Ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she bows, and bears, for her pains have turned on 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 at the time of her death, the women who are standing by her say, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son,” she has not answered, nor set her heart [to 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 calls the youth Ichabod, saying, “Glory has removed from Israel,” because of the taking of the Ark of God, and because of 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 says, “Glory has removed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been taken.”
