< 1 Samuel 13 >
1 Havia já Saul reinado um ano; e reinado que houve dois anos sobre Israel,
Saul was — years old when he began to reign; and two years he reigned over Israel.
2 Escolheu-se logo três mil de Israel: os dois mil estiveram com Saul em Micmás e no monte de Betel, e os mil estiveram com Jônatas em Gibeá de Benjamim; e enviou a todo o outro povo cada um a suas tendas.
And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmas and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeath-benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 E Jônatas feriu a guarnição dos filisteus que havia no morro, e ouviram-no os filisteus. E fez Saul tocar trombetas por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreus.
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the horn throughout all the land, saying: 'Let the Hebrews hear.'
4 E todo Israel ouviu o que se dizia: Saul feriu a guarnição dos filisteus; e também que Israel se tornou detestável aos filisteus. E juntou-se o povo sob o comando de Saul em Gilgal.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also had made himself odious with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Então os filisteus se juntaram para lutar com Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavalos, e povo quando a areia que está à beira do mar em multidão; e subiram, e assentaram acampamento em Micmás, ao oriente de Bete-Áven.
And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and pitched in Michmas, eastward of Beth-aven.
6 Mas os homens de Israel, vendo-se postos em apuros, (porque o povo estava em dificuldades), escondeu-se o povo em covas, em fossos, em penhascos, em rochas e em cisternas.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait — for the people were distressed — then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
7 E alguns dos hebreus passaram o Jordão à terra de Gade e de Gileade: e Saul se estava ainda em Gilgal, e todo o povo ia atrás dele tremendo.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 E ele esperou sete dias, conforme ao prazo que Samuel havia dito; mas Samuel não vinha a Gilgal, e o povo se lhe desertava.
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed; but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
9 Então disse Saul: Trazei-me holocausto e sacrifícios pacíficos. E ofereceu o holocausto.
And Saul said: 'Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings.' And he offered the burnt-offering.
10 E quando ele acabava de fazer o holocausto, eis que Samuel que vinha; e Saul lhe saiu a receber para saudar-lhe.
And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11 Então Samuel disse: Que fizeste? E Saul respondeu: Porque vi que o povo se me ia, e que tu não vinhas ao prazo dos dias, e que os filisteus estavam juntos em Micmás,
And Samuel said: 'What hast thou done?' And Saul said: 'Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together against Michmas;
12 Disse-me: Os filisteus descerão agora contra mim a Gilgal, e eu não implorei o favor do SENHOR. Esforcei-me pois, e ofereci holocausto.
therefore said I: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD; I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering.'
13 Então Samuel disse a Saul: Loucamente fizeste; não guardaste o mandamento do SENHOR teu Deus, que ele te havia intimado; porque agora o SENHOR teria confirmado teu reino sobre Israel para sempre.
And Samuel said to Saul: 'Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which He commanded thee; for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
14 Mas agora teu reino não será durável: o SENHOR buscou para si homem segundo seu coração, ao qual o SENHOR mandou que seja líder sobre seu povo, porquanto tu não guardaste o que o SENHOR te mandou.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue; the LORD hath sought him a man after His own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over His people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.'
15 E levantando-se Samuel, subiu de Gilgal a Gibeá de Benjamim. E Saul contou a gente que se achava com ele, como seiscentos homens.
And Samuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal unto Gibeath-benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Então Saul e Jônatas seu filho, e o povo que com eles se achava, ficaram em Gibeá de Benjamim: mas os filisteus haviam posto seu acampamento em Micmás.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeath-benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmas.
17 E saíram do acampamento dos filisteus em saque três esquadrões. O um esquadrão tirou pelo caminho de Ofra até a terra de Sual.
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
18 O outro esquadrão marchou até Bete-Horom, e o terceiro esquadrão marchou até a região que está voltada ao vale de Zeboim até o deserto.
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 E em toda a terra de Israel não se achava ferreiro; porque os filisteus haviam dito: Para que os hebreus não façam espada ou lança.
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said: 'Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears';
20 E todos os de Israel desciam aos filisteus cada qual a amolar sua relha, sua enxada, seu machado, ou seu sacho,
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21 E cobravam certo preço pelas relhas, pelas enxadas, e pelas forquilhas, e outro para afiar os machados, e as aguilhadas.
And the price of the filing was a pim for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks with three teeth, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
22 Assim aconteceu que o dia da batalha não se achou espada nem lança em mão de algum de todo o povo que estava com Saul e com Jônatas, exceto Saul e Jônatas seu filho, que as tinham.
So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
23 E a guarnição dos filisteus saiu ao desfiladeiro de Micmás.
And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmas.
