1 Samuel 14

1 Sucedeu pois que um dia disse Jonathan, filho de Saul, ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição dos philisteus, que está lá daquela banda. Porém não o fez saber a seu pai

Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison which is on the other side. But he did not tell his father.

2 E estava Saul à extremidade de Gibeah, debaixo da romeira que estava em Migron; e o povo que havia com ele eram uns seiscentos homens.

And Saul abode at the extreme end of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which [was] in Migron; and the people that were with him were about six hundred men.

3 E Ahija, filho de Ahitub, irmão de Icabod, o filho de Phineas, filho de Eli, sacerdote do Senhor em Silo, trazia o éfode: porém o povo não sabia que Jonathan tinha ido.

(And Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, Jehovah's priest in Shiloh, wore the ephod.) And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

4 E entre os passos pelos quais Jonathan procurava passar à guarnição dos philisteus, desta banda havia uma penha aguda, e da outra banda uma penha aguda: e era o nome de uma Bozez, e o nome da outra Senné.

Now between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison there was a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side; and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 Uma penha para o norte estava defronte de Michmas, e a outra para o sul defronte de Gibeah.

The one crag [formed] a pillar on the north opposite to Michmash, and the other on the south opposite to Geba.

6 Disse pois Jonathan ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição destes incircuncisos; porventura obrará o Senhor por nós, porque para com o Senhor nenhum impedimento há de livrar com muitos ou com poucos.

And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: perhaps Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.

7 Então o seu pagem de armas lhe disse: Faze tudo o que tens no coração; volta, eis-me aqui contigo, conforme ao teu coração.

And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart; turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

8 Disse pois Jonathan: Eis que passaremos àqueles homens, e nos descobriremos a eles.

Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will shew ourselves to them.

9 Se nos disserem assim: parai até que cheguemos a vós; então ficaremos no nosso lugar, e não subiremos a eles.

If they say thus to us, Stand still until we come to you, then we will stay in our place, and will not go up to them.

10 Porém, dizendo assim: Subi a nós; então subiremos, pois o Senhor os tem entregado na nossa mão, e isto nos será por sinal.

And if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up; for Jehovah has given them into our hand; and this shall be the sign to us.

11 Descobrindo-se ambos eles pois à guarnição dos philisteus, disseram os philisteus: Eis que já os hebreus sairam das cavernas em que se tinham escondido.

And both of them shewed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

12 E os homens da guarnição responderam a Jonathan e ao seu pagem de armas, e disseram: Subi a nós, e nós vo-lo ensinaremos. E disse Jonathan ao seu pagem de armas: Sobe atráz de mim, porque o Senhor os tem entregado na mão de Israel.

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you something. And Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.

13 Então trepou Jonathan com os pés e com as mãos, e o seu pagem de armas atráz dele: e cairam diante de Jonathan, e o seu pagem de armas os matava atráz dele.

And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour-bearer slew after him.

14 E sucedeu esta primeira desfeita, em que Jonathan e o seu pagem de armas feriram até uns vinte homens, quase no meio de uma geira de terra que uma junta de bois podia lavrar.

And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer wrought was about twenty men, as it were on the half-furrow of an acre of land.

15 E houve tremor no arraial, no campo e em todo o povo; também a mesma guarnição e os destruidores tremeram, e até a terra se alvoroçou, porquanto era tremor de Deus.

And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the ravagers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked; for it was a trembling [from] God.

16 Olharam pois as sentinelas de Saul em Gibeah de Benjamin, e eis que a multidão se derramava, e fugia batendo-se.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on slaying one another.

17 Disse então Saul ao povo que estava com ele: Ora numerai, e vede quem é que saiu dentre nós. E numeraram, e eis que nem Jonathan nem o seu pagem de armas estavam ali

Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone from us. And they mustered, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not there.

18 Então Saul disse a Ahija: Traze aqui a arca de Deus (porque naquele dia estava a arca de Deus com os filhos de Israel).

And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

19 E sucedeu que, estando Saul ainda falando com o sacerdote, o alvoroço que havia no arraial dos philisteus ia crescendo muito, e se multiplicava, pelo que disse Saul ao sacerdote: Retira a tua mão.

And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

20 Então Saul e todo o povo que havia com ele se convocaram, e vieram à peleja; e eis que a espada dum era contra o outro, e houve mui grande tumulto.

And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, a very great confusion.

21 Também com os philisteus havia hebreus, como de antes, que subiram com eles ao arraial em redor; e também estes se ajuntaram com os israelitas que estavam com Saul e Jonathan.

And there were Hebrews with the Philistines before that time, who had gone up with them into the camp round about; and they also [turned] to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 Ouvindo pois todos os homens de Israel que se esconderam pela montanha de Ephraim que os philisteus fugiam, eles também os perseguiram de perto na peleja.

And all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim heard that the Philistines fled, and they also followed hard after them in the battle.

23 Assim livrou o Senhor a Israel naquele dia: e o arraial passou a Beth-aven.

And Jehovah saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over beyond Beth-Aven.

24 E estavam os homens de Israel já exaustos naquele dia, porquanto Saul conjurou o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer pão até à tarde, para que me vingue de meus inimigos. Pelo que todo o povo se absteve de provar pão

But the men of Israel were distressed that day. Now Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food until evening, and [until] I am avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

25 E toda a terra chegou a um bosque: e havia mel na superfície do campo.

And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey on the ground.

26 E, chegando o povo ao bosque, eis que havia um manancial de mel: porém ninguém chegou a mão à boca porque o povo temia a conjuração

And the people had come into the wood, and behold, the honey flowed; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

27 Porém Jonathan não tinha ouvido quando seu pai conjurava o povo, e estendeu a ponta da vara que tinha na mão, e a molhou no favo de mel; e, tornando a mão à boca, aclararam-se os seus olhos.

But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he put forth the end of his staff which was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became bright.

28 Então respondeu um do povo, e disse: solenemente conjurou teu pai o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer hoje pão. Pelo que o povo desfalecia.

Then answered one of the people and said, Thy father strictly adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day; and the people are faint.

29 Então disse Jonathan: Meu pai tem turbado a terra; ora vede como se me aclararam os olhos por ter gostado um pouco deste mel,

And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, that mine eyes are bright, because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 Quanto mais se o povo hoje livremente tivesse comido do despojo que achou de seus inimigos. Porém agora não foi tão grande o estrago dos philisteus.

How much more, if the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not now have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

31 Feriram porém aquele dia aos philisteus, desde Michmas até Ajalon, e o povo desfaleceu em extremo.

And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon; and the people were very faint.

32 Então o povo se lançou ao despojo, e tomaram ovelhas, e vacas, e bezerros, e os degolaram no chão; e o povo os comeu com sangue.

And the people fell on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate [them] with the blood.

33 E o anunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que o povo peca contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. E disse ele: Aleivosamente obrastes; revolvei-me hoje uma grande pedra.

And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have acted perversely: roll me now a great stone.

34 Disse mais Saul: derramai-vos entre o povo, e dizei-lhes: Trazei-me cada um o seu boi, e cada um a sua ovelha, e degolai-os aqui, e comei, e não pequeis contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. Então todo o povo trouxe de noite, cada um com a sua mão, o seu boi, e os degolaram ali.

And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring near to me every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slaughter them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slaughtered [them] there.

35 Então edificou Saul um altar ao Senhor: este foi o primeiro altar que edificou ao Senhor.

And Saul built an altar to Jehovah: this was the first altar he built to Jehovah.

36 Depois disse Saul: Desçamos de noite atráz dos philisteus, e despojemo-los, até que amanheça a luz, e não deixemos de resto um homem deles. E disseram: Tudo o que parecer bem aos teus olhos faze. Disse porém o sacerdote: Cheguemo-nos aqui a Deus

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever is good in thy sight. Then said the priest, Let us come near hither to God.

37 Então consultou Saul a Deus, dizendo: Descerei atráz dos philisteus? entrega-los-ás na mão de Israel? Porém aquele dia lhe não respondeu.

And Saul inquired of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.

38 Então disse Saul: chegai-vos para cá de todos os chefes do povo, e informai-vos, e vede em que se cometeu hoje este pecado;

And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the heads of the people; and know and see wherein this sin has been this day.

39 Porque vive o Senhor que salva a Israel, que, ainda que fosse em meu filho Jonathan, certamente morrerá. E nenhum de todo o povo lhe respondeu.

For, [as] Jehovah liveth, who has saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall certainly die. And no one answered him among all the people.

40 Disse mais a todo o Israel: Vós estareis de uma banda, e eu e meu filho Jonathan estaremos da outra banda. Então disse o povo a Saul: Faze o que parecer bem aos teus olhos.

Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in thy sight.

41 Falou pois Saul ao Senhor Deus de Israel: Mostra o inocente. Então Jonathan e Saul foram tomados por sorte, e o povo saiu livre.

And Saul said to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give a perfect [testimony]! And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.

42 Então disse Saul: lançai a sorte entre mim e Jonathan, meu filho. E foi tomado Jonathan.

And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

43 Disse então Saul a Jonathan: Declara-me o que tens feito. E Jonathan lho declarou, e disse: Tão somente gostei um pouco de mel com a ponta da vara que tinha na mão; eis que devo morrer.

And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him and said, With the end of the staff which is in my hand I tasted a little honey, [and] behold, I must die!

44 Então disse Saul: Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, que com certeza morrerás, Jonathan.

And Saul said, God do so [to me] and more also; thou shalt certainly die, Jonathan.

45 Porém o povo disse a Saul: Morrerá Jonathan, que obrou tão grande salvação em Israel? nunca tal suceda; vive o Senhor, que não lhe há de cair no chão um só cabelo da sua cabeça! pois com Deus fez isso hoje. Assim o povo livrou a Jonathan, para que não morresse.

And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! [as] Jehovah liveth, there shall not a hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not.

46 E Saul deixou de seguir os philisteus: e os philisteus se foram ao seu lugar.

And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

47 Então tomou Saul o reino sobre Israel; e pelejou contra todos os seus inimigos em redor: contra Moab, e contra os filhos de Ammon, e contra Edom, e contra os reis de Zoba, e contra os philisteus, e para onde quer que se tornava executava castigos.

And Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he discomfited [them].

48 E houve-se valorosamente, e feriu aos amalequitas: e libertou a Israel da mão dos que o saqueavam.

And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of their spoilers.

49 E os filhos de Saul eram Jonathan, e Isvi, e Malchisua: e os nomes de suas duas filhas eram estes: o nome da mais velha Merab, e o nome da mais nova, Michal.

And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malchi-shua. And the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

50 E o nome da mulher de Saul, Ahinoam, filha de Ahimaas: e o nome do general do exército, Abner, filho de Ner, tio de Saul.

And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

51 E Kis, pai de Saul, e Ner, pai de Abner, eram filhos de Abiel.

And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner were sons of Abiel.

52 E houve uma forte guerra contra os philisteus, todos os dias de Saul: pelo que Saul a todos os homens valentes e valorosos que via os agregava a si.

And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.
