1 Samuel 13
1 Um ano tinha estado Saul em seu reinado: e o segundo ano reinou sobre Israel.
When he began to reign, Saul was the son of one year, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
2 Então Saul escolheu para si três mil de Israel; e estavam com Saul dois mil em Michmas, e na montanha de bethel, e mil estavam com Jonathan em Gibeah de Benjamin: e o resto do povo despediu, cada um para sua casa.
And Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. And two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and at mount Bethel. Then one thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the remainder of the people, he sent back, each one to his own tent.
3 E Jonathan feriu a guarnição dos philisteus que estava em Gibeah, o que os philisteus ouviram: pelo que Saul tocou a trombeta por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreus.
And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines, which was in Gibeah. And when the Philistines had heard about it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews listen.”
4 Então todo o Israel ouviu dizer: Saul feriu a guarnição dos philisteus, e também Israel se fez abominável aos philisteus. Então o povo foi convocado atráz de Saul em Gilgal.
And all of Israel heard this report, that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines. And Israel raised himself up against the Philistines. Then the people cried out to Saul at Gilgal.
5 E os philisteus se ajuntaram para pelejar contra Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavaleiros, e povo em multidão como a areia que está à borda do mar; e subiram, e se acamparam em Michmas, ao oriente de Beth-aven.
And the Philistines gathered to do battle against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and the remainder of the common people, who were very many, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And ascending, they encamped at Michmash, toward the east of Bethaven.
6 Vendo pois os homens de Israel que estava em angústia (porque o povo estava apertado) o povo se escondeu pelas cavernas, e pelos espinhais, e pelos penhascos, e pelas fortificações, e pelas covas.
And when the men of Israel had seen themselves to be in a narrowed position, they hid themselves in caves, and in out of the way places, and in rocks, and in hollows, and in pits (for the people were distressed).
7 E os hebreus passaram o Jordão para a terra de Gad e Gilead: e, estando Saul ainda em Gilgal, todo o povo veio atráz dele tremendo.
Then some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan, into the land of Gad and Gilead. And while Saul was still at Gilgal, the entire people who followed him were terrified.
8 E esperou sete dias, até ao tempo que Samuel determinara; não vindo, porém, Samuel a Gilgal, o povo se espalhava dele.
But he waited for seven days, in accord with what was agreed with Samuel. But Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, for the people were scattering away from him.
9 Então disse Saul: Trazei-me aqui um holocausto, e ofertas pacíficas. E ofereceu o holocausto.
Therefore, Saul said, “Bring me the holocaust and the peace offerings.” And he offered the holocaust.
10 E sucedeu que, acabando ele de oferecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul lhe saiu ao encontro, para o saudar.
And when he had completed the offering of the holocaust, behold, Samuel arrived. And Saul went out to meet him, so that he might greet him.
11 Então disse Samuel: Que fizeste? Disse Saul: Porquanto via que o povo se espalhava de mim, e tu não vinhas nos dias aprazados, e os philisteus já se tinham ajuntado em Michmas,
And Samuel said to him, “What have you done?” Saul responded: “Since I saw that the people were scattering away from me, and you had not arrived after the agreed upon days, and yet the Philistines had gathered together at Michmash,
12 Eu disse: Agora descerão os philisteus sobre mim a Gilgal, e ainda à face do Senhor não orei: e violentei-me, e ofereci holocausto.
I said: ‘Now the Philistines will descend to me at Gilgal. And I have not appeased the face of the Lord.’ Compelled by necessity, I offered the holocaust.
13 Então disse Samuel a Saul: Obraste nesciamente, e não guardaste o mandamento que o Senhor teu Deus te ordenou; porque agora o Senhor teria confirmado o teu reino sobre Israel para sempre.
And Samuel said to Saul: “You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandments of the Lord your God, which he instructed to you. And if you had not acted in this way, the Lord would, here and now, have prepared your kingdom over Israel forever.
14 Porém agora não subsistirá o teu reino: já tem buscado o Senhor para si um homem segundo o seu coração, e já lhe tem ordenado o Senhor, que seja chefe sobre o seu povo, porquanto não guardaste o que o Senhor te ordenou
But by no means shall your kingdom rise up any more. The Lord has sought for himself a man according to his own heart. And him the Lord has instructed to be the leader over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord has instructed.”
15 Então se levantou Samuel, e subiu de Gilgal a Gibeah de Benjamin: e Saul numerou o povo que achou com ele, uns seiscentos varões.
Then Samuel rose up and ascended from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And the remainder of the people ascended after Saul, to meet the people who were fighting against them, going from Gilgal into Gibeah, to the hill of Benjamin. And Saul took a census of the people, who had been found to be with him, about six hundred men.
16 E Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, e o povo que se achou com eles, ficaram em Gibeah de Benjamin: porém os philisteus se acamparam em Michmas.
And Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who had been found to be with them, were at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines had settled in at Michmash.
17 E os destruidores sairam do campo dos philisteus em três companhias: uma das companhias voltou pelo caminho de Ophra à terra de Sual:
And three companies went out from the camp of the Philistines, in order to plunder. One company was traveling toward the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual.
18 Outra companhia voltou pelo caminho de Beth-horon: e a outra companhia voltou pelo caminho do termo que olha para o vale Zeboim contra o deserto.
Then another entered along the way of Beth-horon. But the third turned itself to the way of the border, overhanging the valley of Zeboim, opposite the desert.
19 E em toda a terra de Israel nem um ferreiro se achava: porque os philisteus tinham dito: Para que os hebreus não façam espada nem lança.
Now there was no worker of iron to be found in all the land of Israel. For the Philistines had been cautious, lest perhaps the Hebrews might make swords or spears.
20 Pelo que todo o Israel tinha que descer aos philisteus para amolar cada um a sua relha, e a sua enxada, e o seu machado, e o seu sacho.
Therefore, all of Israel descended to the Philistines, so that each man could sharpen his plowshare, or pick axe, or hatchet, or hoe.
21 Tinham porém limas adentadas para os seus sachos, e para as suas enxadas, e para as forquilhas de três dentes, e para os machados, e para concertar as aguilhadas.
For their plow blades, and pick axes, and pitch forks, and axes had become blunt, and even the handles needed to be repaired.
22 E sucedeu que, no dia da peleja, se não achou nem espada nem lança na mão de todo o povo que estava com Saul e com Jonathan: porém acharam-se com Saul e com Jonathan seu filho.
And when the day of battle had arrived, there was found neither sword nor spear in the hand of the entire people who were with Saul and Jonathan, except for Saul and his son Jonathan.
23 E saiu a guarnição dos philisteus ao passo de Michmas.
Then the army of the Philistines went out in order to go across Michmash.
