1 Samuel 7

1 Então vieram os homens de Kiriath-jearim, e levaram a arca do Senhor, e a trouxeram à casa de Abinadab, no outeiro: e consagraram a Eleazar, seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do Senhor.

And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.

2 E sucedeu que, desde aquele dia, a arca ficou em Kiriath-jearim, e tantos dias se passaram que até chegaram vinte anos, e lamentava toda a casa de Israel após do Senhor.

And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long, for it was twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.

3 Então falou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se com todo o vosso coração vos converterdes ao Senhor, tirai dentre vós os deuses estranhos e os astaroths, e preparai o vosso coração ao Senhor, e servi a ele só, e vos livrará da mão dos philisteus.

And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to Jehovah with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Jehovah, and serve him only. And he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4 Então os filhos de Israel tiraram dentre si aos baalins e aos astaroths, e serviram só ao Senhor.

Then the sons of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served Jehovah only.

5 Disse mais Samuel: congregai a todo o Israel em Mispah: e orarei por vós ao Senhor.

And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to Jehovah.

6 E congregaram-se em Mispah, e tiraram água, e a derramaram perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquele dia, e disseram ali: pecamos contra o Senhor. E julgava Samuel os filhos de Israel em Mispah.

And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the sons of Israel in Mizpah.

7 Ouvindo pois os philisteus que os filhos de Israel estavam congregados em Mispah, subiram os maiorais dos philisteus contra Israel: o que ouvindo os filhos de Israel, temeram por causa dos philisteus.

And when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the sons of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

8 Pelo que disseram os filhos de Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar ao Senhor nosso Deus por nós, para que nos livre da mão dos philisteus.

And the sons of Israel said to Samuel, Do not cease to cry to Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

9 Então tomou Samuel um cordeiro de mama, e sacrificou-o inteiro em holocausto ao Senhor: e clamou Samuel ao Senhor por Israel, e o Senhor lhe deu ouvidos.

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Jehovah. And Samuel cried to Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answered him.

10 E sucedeu que, estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os philisteus chegaram à peleja contra Israel: e trovejou o Senhor aquele dia com grande trovoada sobre os philisteus, e os aterrou de tal modo que foram derrotados diante dos filhos de Israel.

And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel, but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them, and they were smitten down before Israel.

11 E os homens de Israel sairam de Mispah, e perseguiram os philisteus, e os feriram até abaixo de Beth-car.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them until they came under Beth-car.

12 Então tomou Samuel uma pedra, e a pôs entre Mispah e Sen, e chamou o seu nome Eben-ezer: e disse: Até aqui nos ajudou o Senhor.

Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Jehovah has helped us to now.

13 Assim os philisteus foram abatidos, e nunca mais vieram aos termos de Israel, porquanto foi a mão do Senhor contra os philisteus todos os dias de Samuel.

So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel, and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14 E as cidades que os philisteus tinham tomado a Israel foram restituídas a Israel, desde Ekron até Gath, e até os seus termos Israel arrebatou da mão dos philisteus; e houve paz entre Israel e entre os amorreus.

And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath. And Israel delivered the border of it out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15 E Samuel julgou a Israel todos os dias da sua vida.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 E ia de ano, em ano, e rodeava a bethel, e a Gilgal, e a Mispah, e julgava a Israel em todos aqueles lugares.

And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah. And he judged Israel in all those places.

17 Porém voltava a Rama, porque estava ali a sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel: e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor.

And his return was to Ramah, for his house was there. And there he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to Jehovah.
