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 Kirjath-Jearim come and bring up the Ark of YHWH, and bring it into the house of Abinadab, in the height, and they have sanctified his son Eleazar to keep the Ark of YHWH.

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 comes to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the Ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied—indeed, they are twenty years—and all the house of Israel wails after YHWH.

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 speaks to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are turning back to YHWH with all your heart—turn aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth; and prepare your heart for YHWH, and serve Him only, and He delivers 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.

And the sons of Israel turn aside the Ba‘alim and Ashtaroth, and serve YHWH alone;

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

and Samuel says, “Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray to YHWH for you.”

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 are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour out before YHWH, and fast on that day, and say there, “We have sinned against YHWH”; and Samuel judges the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.

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 the Philistines hear that the sons of Israel have gathered themselves to Mizpeh; and the princes of the Philistines go up against Israel, and the sons of Israel hear, and are afraid of the presence 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 say to Samuel, “Do not keep silent for us from crying to our God YHWH, and He saves 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 takes a fat lamb, and causes it to go up—a whole burnt-offering to YHWH; and Samuel cries to YHWH for Israel, and YHWH answers 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 Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up—and the Philistines have drawn near to battle against Israel—and YHWH thunders with a great noise, on that day, on the Philistines, and troubles them, and they are struck 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 go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and strike them to the place of 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.

And Samuel takes a stone, and sets [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calls its name Eben-Ezer, saying, “Until now YHWH has helped us.”

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.

And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added anymore to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of YHWH is on 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 have taken from Israel are restored to Israel—from Ekron even to Gath—and Israel has delivered their border out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.

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

And Samuel judges 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 has gone from year to year, and gone around Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these 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 returning [is] to Ramath, for his house [is] there, and he has judged Israel there, and he builds an altar to YHWH there.
