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.
The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of YHWH and brought it into the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son 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.
It happened, from the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented 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.
Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you do return to YHWH with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to YHWH, 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 children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served YHWH only.
5 Disse mais Samuel: congregai a todo o Israel em Mispah: e orarei por vós ao Senhor.
Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to YHWH."
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.
They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before YHWH, and fasted on that day, and said, "We have sinned against YHWH." Samuel judged the children 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.
When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children 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.
The children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to YHWH 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.
Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to YHWH: and Samuel cried to YHWH for Israel; and YHWH 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.
As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but YHWH thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.
11 E os homens de Israel sairam de Mispah, e perseguiram os philisteus, e os feriram até abaixo de Beth-car.
The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, as far as below Beth Kar.
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 Jashan, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "YHWH helped us until 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 territory of Israel. The hand of YHWH 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.
The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 E Samuel julgou a Israel todos os dias da sua vida.
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.
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.
His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to YHWH.
