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.
The word of Samuel came to all of Israel. Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines. They set up camp at Ebenezer, and the Philistines set up camp at 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.
The Philistines lined up for battle against Israel. When the battle spread, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men on the field of battle.
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.
When the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has Yahweh defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh here from Shiloh, that it may be here with us, that it might keep us safe from the hands 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.
So the people sent men to Shiloh; from there they carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts, who sits above the cherubim. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there 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.
When the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came into the camp, all of the people of Israel gave a great shout, and the earth 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.
When the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, “What does this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” Then they realized that the ark of Yahweh had come into 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.
The Philistines were afraid; they said, “A god has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! Nothing like this has happened before!
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! Who will protect us from the strength of these mighty gods? These are the gods who attacked the Egyptians with many different kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
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.
Take courage, and be men, you Philistines, or you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they have been slaves to you. Be men, and fight.”
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.
The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated. Every man fled to his house, and the slaughter was very great; for 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.
The ark of God was taken, and 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.
A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day, arriving with his clothes torn and earth on his head.
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.
When he arrived, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching because his heart trembled with concern for the ark of God. When the man entered the city and told the news, the whole city cried out.
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.
When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, “What is the meaning of this uproar?” The man quickly came and told 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; his eyes did not focus, and he could not 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?
The man said to Eli, “I am the one who came from the battle line. I fled from the battle today.” Eli said, “How did it go, 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.
The man who brought the news answered and said, “Israel fled from the Philistines. Also, there has been a great defeat among the people. Also, your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken.”
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.
When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backward from his seat by the side of the gate. His neck was broken, and he died, because he was old and heavy. He had 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, Phinehas' wife, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news that the ark of God was captured and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she knelt down and gave birth, but her labor pains overwhelmed her.
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.
About the time of her death the women attending to her said, “Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not answer or take what they said to heart.
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.
She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has gone away from Israel!” for the ark of God had been 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.
She said, “The glory has gone away from Israel, because the ark of God has been captured.”
