1 Samuel 31
1 Os philisteus, pois, pelejaram contra Israel: e os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos philisteus, e cairam atravessados na montanha de Gilboa.
Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa.
2 E os philisteus apertaram com Saul e seus filhos: e os philisteus mataram a Jonathan, e a Abinadab, e a Malchisua, filhos de Saul.
And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.
3 E a peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram; e muito temeu por causa dos flecheiros.
And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Então disse Saul ao seu pagem de armas: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que porventura não venham estes incircuncisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Porém o seu pagem de armas não quis, porque temia muito: então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ela.
Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it.
5 Vendo pois o seu pagem de armas que Saul já era morto, também ele se lançou sobre a sua espada, e morreu com ele.
And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him.
6 Assim faleceu Saul, e seus três filhos, e o seu pagem de armas, e também todos os homens morreram juntamente naquele dia.
So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 E, vendo os homens de Israel, que estavam desta banda do vale e desta banda do Jordão, que os homens de Israel fugiram, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, desampararam as cidades, e fugiram; e vieram os philisteus, e habitaram nelas.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.
8 Sucedeu pois que, vindo os philisteus ao outro dia a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus três filhos estirados na montanha de Gilboa.
And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,
9 E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e o despojaram das suas armas, e enviaram pela terra dos philisteus, em redor, a anuncia-lo no templo dos seus ídolos e entre o povo.
And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, and sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, and among the people.
10 E puseram as suas armas no templo de Astaroth, e o seu corpo o afixaram no muro de Beth-san.
And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Ouvindo então isto os moradores de Jabez-gilead, o que os philisteus fizeram a Saul,
When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,
12 Todo o homem valoroso se levantou, e caminharam toda a noite, e tiraram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Beth-san, e, vindo a Jabez, os queimaram.
Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there,
13 E tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo dum arvoredo, em Jabez, e jejuaram sete dias.
And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
