1 Samuel 7
1 Então vieram os homens de Kiriath-jearim, e levaram a arca do Senhor, e a trouxeram á casa de Abinadab, no outeiro: e consagraram a Eleazar, seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do Senhor.
And the men of Kiryath-ye'arim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and brought it unto the house of Abinadab on the hill, and Elazar his son they sanctified to guard the ark of the Lord.
2 E succedeu que, desde aquelle dia, a arca ficou em Kiriath-jearim, e tantos dias se passaram que até chegaram vinte annos, e lamentava toda a casa de Israel após do Senhor.
And it came to pass, from the time the ark remained in Kiryath-ye'arim, and the time was long, and it was twenty years: that all the house of Israel followed anxiously after the Lord.
3 Então fallou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se com todo o vosso coração vos converterdes ao Senhor, tirae d'entre vós os deuses estranhos e os astaroths, e preparae o vosso coração ao Senhor, e servi a elle só, e vos livrará da mão dos philisteos.
And Samuel said unto all the house of Israel, as followeth, If with all your heart ye do return unto the Lord, then put away the gods of the stranger and the 'Ashtaroth from your midst, and direct your heart unto the Lord, and serve him alone: and then will he deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Então os filhos de Israel tiraram d'entre si aos baalins e aos astaroths, e serviram só ao Senhor.
Then did the children of Israel put away the Be'alim and the 'Ashtaroth, and served the Lord alone.
5 Disse mais Samuel: Congregae a todo o Israel em Mispah: e orarei por vós ao Senhor.
And Samuel said, Assemble all Israel together at Mizpah, and I will pray in your behalf unto the Lord.
6 E congregaram-se em Mispah, e tiraram agua, e a derramaram perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquelle dia, e disseram ali: Peccámos contra o Senhor. E julgava Samuel os filhos de Israel em Mispah.
And they assembled themselves together at Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
7 Ouvindo pois os philisteos que os filhos d'Israel estavam congregados em Mispah, subiram os maioraes dos philisteos contra Israel: o que ouvindo os filhos de Israel, temeram por causa dos philisteos.
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had assembled themselves at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 Pelo que disseram os filhos d'Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar ao Senhor nosso Deus por nós, para que nos livre da mão dos philisteos.
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Do not abstain, so as not to cry for us unto the Lord our God, that he may help us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9 Então tomou Samuel um cordeiro de mama, e sacrificou-o inteiro em holocausto ao Senhor: e clamou Samuel ao Senhor por Israel, e o Senhor lhe deu ouvidos.
And Samuel took one sucking lamb, and offered it for an entire burnt-offering unto the Lord: and Samuel cried unto the Lord in behalf of Israel; and the Lord answered him.
10 E succedeu que, estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os philisteos chegaram á peleja contra Israel: e trovejou o Senhor aquelle dia com grande trovoada sobre os philisteos, e os aterrou de tal modo que foram derrotados diante dos filhos d'Israel.
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the Lord thundered with a loud noise on that day over the Philistines, and brought them into confusion, and they were smitten before Israel.
11 E os homens d'Israel sairam de Mispah, e perseguiram os philisteos, e os feriram até abaixo de Beth-car.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.
12 Então tomou Samuel uma pedra, e a poz entre Mispah e Sen, e chamou o seu nome Eben-ezer: e disse: Até aqui nos ajudou o Senhor.
And Samuel took one stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Eben-ha'ezer, saying, As far as this hath the Lord helped us.
13 Assim os philisteos foram abatidos, e nunca mais vieram aos termos d'Israel, porquanto foi a mão do Senhor contra os philisteos todos os dias de Samuel.
So were the Philistines humbled, and they came no more into the territory of Israel; and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 E as cidades que os philisteos tinham tomado a Israel foram restituidas a Israel, desde Ekron até Gath, e até os seus termos Israel arrebatou da mão dos philisteos; e houve paz entre Israel e entre os amorrheos.
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel came again to Israel, from 'Ekron even unto Gath, and their territory did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Emorites.
15 E Samuel julgou a Israel todos os dias da sua vida.
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 E ia de anno, em anno, e rodeava a Beth-el, e a Gilgal, e a Mispah, e julgava a Israel em todos aquelles logares.
And he went from year to year and traveled in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all these places.
17 Porém voltava a Rama, porque estava ali a sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel: e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor.
And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar unto the Lord.
