1 Samuel 13
1 Um ano tinha estado Saul em seu reinado: e o segundo ano reinou sobre Israel.
Saul was a child of one year when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel.
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 him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin, and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings.
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 smote the garrison of the Philistines which was in Gabaa. And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear.
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 Israel heard this report: Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines: and Israel took courage against the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Galgal.
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.
The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the sea shore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas at 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 saw that they were straitened, (for the people were distressed, ) they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits.
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.
And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid.
8 E esperou sete dias, até ao tempo que Samuel determinara; não vindo, porém, Samuel a Gilgal, o povo se espalhava dele.
And he waited seven days according to the appointment of Samuel, I and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.
9 Então disse Saul: Trazei-me aqui um holocausto, e ofertas pacíficas. E ofereceu o holocausto.
Then 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 made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute 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 hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas,
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 will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced 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: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
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 thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded.
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.
And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found 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 Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Machmas.
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 there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual;
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.
And another went by the way of Beth-horon, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards 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 smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them 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.
So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake.
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.
So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended.
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 was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son.
23 E saiu a guarnição dos philisteus ao passo de Michmas.
And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas.
