1 Samuel 4
1 E veio a palavra de Samuel a todo o Israel: e Israel saiu ao encontro, à peleja, aos philisteus, e se acamparam junto a Eben-ezer: e os philisteus se acamparam junto a Afek.
And it happened that, in those days, the Philistines assembled to fight. And Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle, and he made camp beside the Stone of Assistance. But the Philistines went to Aphek,
2 E os philisteus se dispozeram em ordem de batalha, para sair ao encontro a Israel; e, estendendo-se a peleja, Israel foi ferido diante dos philisteus, porque feriram na batalha, no campo, uns quatro mil homens.
and they positioned their troops against Israel. Then, when the conflict began, Israel turned his back to the Philistines. And they were cut down in that conflict, in various places in the fields, about four thousand men.
3 E tornando o povo ao arraial, disseram os anciãos de Israel: Porque nos feriu o Senhor hoje diante dos philisteus? tragamos de Silo a arca do concerto do Senhor, e venha no meio de nós, para que nos livre da mão de nossos inimigos.
And the people returned to the camp. And those greater by birth of Israel said: “Why has the Lord struck us today before the Philistines? Let us bring to ourselves the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Shiloh. And let it enter into our midst, so that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.”
4 Enviou pois o povo a Silo, e trouxeram de lá a arca do concerto do Senhor dos exércitos, que habita entre os cherubins: e os dois filhos de Eli, Hophni e Phineas estavam ali com a arca do concerto de Deus.
Therefore, the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, sitting upon the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 E sucedeu que, vindo a arca do concerto do Senhor ao arraial, todo o Israel jubilou com grande júbilo, até que a terra estremeceu.
And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the camp, all of Israel shouted with a great clamor, and the land resounded.
6 E os philisteus, ouvindo a voz do júbilo, disseram: Que voz de tão grande júbilo é esta no arraial dos hebreus? então souberam que a arca do Senhor era vinda ao arraial.
And the Philistines heard the voice of the clamor, and they said, “What is this voice of a great clamor in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they realized that the ark of the Lord had arrived in the camp.
7 Pelo que os philisteus se atemorisaram; porque diziam: Deus veio ao arraial. E diziam mais: Ai de nós! que tal nunca jamais sucedeu antes.
And the Philistines were afraid, saying, “God has entered into the camp.” And they groaned, saying:
8 Ai de nós! quem nos livrará da mão destes grandiosos deuses? estes são os deuses que feriram aos egípcios com todas as pragas junto ao deserto.
“Woe to us! For there was no such great exultation yesterday, or the day before. Woe to us! Who will save us from the hand of these sublime gods? These are the gods who struck Egypt with all the plagues, in the desert.”
9 Esforçai-vos, e sede homens, ó philisteus, para que porventura não venhais a servir aos hebreus, como eles serviram a vós; sede pois homens, e pelejai.
“Be strengthened, and be manly, O Philistines! Otherwise, you may serve the Hebrews, as they also have served you. Be strengthened and wage war!”
10 Então pelejaram os philisteus, e Israel foi ferido, e fugiram cada um para a sua tenda; e foi tão grande o estrago, que cairam de Israel trinta mil homens de pé.
Therefore, the Philistines fought, and Israel was cut down, and each one fled to his own tent. And an exceedingly great slaughter occurred. And thirty thousand foot soldiers from Israel fell.
11 E foi tomada a arca de Deus: e os dois filhos de Eli, Hophni e Phineas, morreram.
And the ark of God was captured. Also, the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
12 Então correu da batalha um homem de Benjamin, e chegou no mesmo dia a Silo: e trazia os vestidos rotos, e terra sobre a cabeça.
Now a man of Benjamin, rushing from the troops, arrived at Shiloh on the same day, with his clothing torn, and with his head sprinkled with dust.
13 E, chegando ele, eis que Eli estava assentado sobre uma cadeira, vigiando ao pé do caminho; porquanto o seu coração estava tremendo pela arca de Deus: entrando pois aquele homem a anunciar isto na cidade, toda a cidade gritou.
And when he had arrived, Eli was sitting on a seat opposite the way, gazing out. For his heart was fearful on behalf of the ark of God. Then, after this man entered the city, he announced it to the city. And the entire city wailed.
14 E Eli, ouvindo a voz do grito, disse: Que voz de alvoroço é esta? Então chegou aquele homem a grande pressa, e veio, e o anunciou a Eli.
And Eli heard the sound of the outcry, and he said, “What is this sound, this tumult?” And the man hurried, and he went and announced it to Eli.
15 E era Eli da idade de noventa e oito anos: e estavam os seus olhos tão escurecidos, que já não podia ver.
Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had dimmed, so that he was not able to see.
16 E disse aquele homem a Eli: Eu sou o que venho da batalha; porque eu fugi hoje da batalha. E disse ele: Que coisa sucedeu, filho meu?
And he said to Eli: “I am the one who came from the battle. And it is I who fled from the troops today.” And he said to him, “What has happened, my son?”
17 Então respondeu o que trazia as novas, e disse: Israel fugiu de diante dos philisteus, e houve também grande desfeita entre o povo: e, de mais disto, também teus dois filhos, Hophni e Phineas, morreram, e a arca de Deus é tomada.
And responding, the man reported and said: “Israel has fled before the Philistines. And a great ruin has happened to the people. Moreover, your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, also have died. And the ark of God has been captured.”
18 E sucedeu que, fazendo ele menção da arca de Deus, Eli caiu da cadeira para traz, da banda da porta, e quebrou-se-lhe o pescoço e morreu: porquanto o homem era velho e pesado; e tinha ele julgado a Israel quarenta anos.
And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from the seat backwards, toward the door, and, having broken his neck, he died. For he was an old man of great age. And he judged Israel for forty years.
19 E, estando sua nora, a mulher de Phineas, grávida, e próxima ao parto, e ouvindo estas novas, de que a arca de Deus era tomada, e de que seu sogro e seu marido morreram, encurvou-se e pariu; porquanto as dores lhe sobrevieram.
Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, and her delivery was near. And upon hearing the news that the ark of God had been captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she bent down and went into labor. For her pains rushed upon her suddenly.
20 E, ao tempo em que ia morrendo, disseram as mulheres que estavam com ela: Não temas, pois pariste um filho. ela porém não respondeu, nem fez caso disso.
Then, when she was near death, those who were standing around her said to her, “You should not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not respond to them, and she did not notice them.
21 E chamou ao menino Icabod, dizendo: Foi-se a glória de Israel. Porquanto a arca de Deus foi levada presa, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.
And she called the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory of Israel has been taken away,” because the ark of God was captured, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 E disse: De Israel a glória é levada presa: pois é tomada a arca de Deus.
And she said, “The glory has been taken away from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured.
