1 Samuel 14
1 E um dia aconteceu, que Jônatas filho de Saul disse a seu criado que lhe trazia as armas: Vem, e passemos à guarnição dos filisteus, que está a aquele lado. E não o fez saber a seu pai.
One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
2 E Saul estava no termo de Gibeá, debaixo de uma romãzeira que há em Migrom, e o povo que estava com ele era como seiscentos homens.
On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
3 E Aías filho de Aitube, irmão de Icabode, filho de Fineias, filho de Eli, sacerdote do SENHOR em Siló, levava o éfode; e não sabia o povo que Jônatas se houvesse ido.
Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
4 E entre os desfiladeiros por de onde Jônatas procurava passar à guarnição dos filisteus, havia um penhasco agudo da uma parte, e outro da outra parte; o um se chamava Bozez e o outro Sené:
Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
5 O um penhasco situado ao norte até Micmás, e o outro ao sul até Gibeá.
One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
6 Disse, pois, Jônatas a seu criado que lhe trazia as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição destes incircuncisos: talvez fará o SENHOR por nós; que não é difícil ao SENHOR salvar com multidão ou com pouco número.
Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
7 E seu pajem de armas lhe respondeu: Faze tudo o que tens em teu coração: vai, que aqui estou contigo à tua vontade.
The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
8 E Jônatas disse: Eis que, nós passaremos aos homens, e nos mostraremos a eles.
Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
9 Se nos disserem assim: Esperai até que cheguemos a vós; então nos estaremos em nosso lugar, e não subiremos a eles.
If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
10 Mas se nos disserem assim: Subi a nós: então subiremos, porque o SENHOR os entregou em nossas mãos: e isto nos será por sinal.
But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
11 Mostraram-se, pois, ambos à guarnição dos filisteus, e os filisteus disseram: Eis que os hebreus, que saem das cavernas em que se haviam escondido.
When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
12 E os homens da guarnição responderam a Jônatas e a seu pajem de armas, e disseram: Subi a nós, e vos faremos saber uma coisa. Então Jônatas disse a seu pajem de armas: Sobe atrás mim, que o SENHOR os entregou na mão de Israel.
Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
13 E subiu Jônatas escalando com suas mãos e seus pés, e atrás dele seu pajem de armas; e os que caíam diante de Jônatas, seu pajem de armas que ia atrás dele os matava.
So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
14 Esta foi a primeira derrota, na qual Jônatas com seu pajem de armas, mataram como uns vinte homens no espaço de uma meia jeira.
In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
15 E houve tremor no acampamento e pelo campo, e entre toda a gente da guarnição; e os que haviam ido a fazer saques, também eles tremeram, e alvoroçou-se a terra: houve, pois, grande pânico.
Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
16 E as sentinelas de Saul viram desde Gibeá de Benjamim como a multidão estava perturbada, e ia de uma parte à outra, e era desfeita.
Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
17 Então Saul disse ao povo que tinha consigo: Reconhecei logo, e olhai quem tenha ido dos nossos. E depois de terem reconhecido, acharam que faltavam Jônatas e seu pajem de armas.
Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
18 E Saul disse a Aías: Traze a arca de Deus. Porque a arca de Deus estava então com os filhos de Israel.
So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
19 E aconteceu que estando ainda falando Saul com o sacerdote, o alvoroço que havia no campo dos filisteus se aumentava, e ia crescendo em grande maneira. Então disse Saul ao sacerdote: Detém tua mão.
But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
20 E juntando Saul todo o povo que com ele estava, vieram até o lugar da batalha: e eis que a espada de cada um era volta contra seu companheiro, e a mortandade era grande.
Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
21 E os hebreus que haviam estado com os filisteus de tempo antes, e haviam vindo com eles dos arredores ao acampamento, também estes se voltaram a ser com os israelitas que estavam com Saul e com Jônatas.
Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
22 Também todos os israelitas que se haviam escondido no monte de Efraim, ouvindo que os filisteus fugiam, eles também os perseguiram naquela batalha.
Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
23 Assim salvou o SENHOR a Israel aquele dia. E chegou o alcance até Bete-Áven.
So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
24 Porém os homens de Israel foram postos em apuros aquele dia; porque Saul havia conjurado ao povo, dizendo: Qualquer um que comer pão até a tarde, até que tenha tomado vingança de meus inimigos, seja maldito. E todo o povo não havia provado pão.
Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
25 E todo o povo daquela terra chegou a um bosque de onde havia mel na superfície do campo.
The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
26 Entrou, pois, o povo no bosque, e eis que o mel corria; mas ninguém havia que chegasse a mão à sua boca: porque o povo temia o juramento.
They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
27 Porém Jônatas não havia ouvido quando seu pai conjurou ao povo, e estendeu a ponta de uma vara que trazia em sua mão, e molhou-a em um favo de mel, e chegou sua mão a sua boca; e seus olhos se iluminaram.
But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
28 Então falou um do povo, dizendo: Teu pai conjurou expressamente ao povo, dizendo: Maldito seja o homem que comer hoje alimento. E o povo desfalecia.
But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
29 E Jônatas respondeu: Meu pai perturbou esta terra. Vede agora como foram aclarados meus olhos, por haver provado um pouco deste mel;
Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
30 Quanto mais se o povo houvesse hoje comido do despojo de seus inimigos que achou? não se haveria feito agora maior estrago nos filisteus?
If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
31 E feriram aquele dia aos filisteus desde Micmás até Aijalom: mas o povo se cansou muito.
The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
32 Tornou-se, portanto, o povo ao despojo, e tomaram ovelhas e vacas e bezerros, e mataram-nos em terra, e o povo comeu com sangue.
They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
33 E dando-lhe disso aviso a Saul, disseram-lhe: O povo peca contra o SENHOR comendo com sangue. E ele disse: Vós cometestes transgressão; rolai-me agora aqui uma grande pedra.
One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
34 E Saul voltou a dizer: Espalhai-vos pelo povo, e dizei-lhes que me tragam cada um sua vaca, e cada qual sua ovelha, e degolai-os aqui, e comei; e não pecareis contra o SENHOR comendo com sangue. E trouxe todo o povo cada qual por sua mão sua vaca aquela noite, e ali degolaram.
After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
35 E edificou Saul altar ao SENHOR, o qual altar foi o primeiro que edificou ao SENHOR.
That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
36 E disse Saul: Desçamos de noite contra os filisteus, e os saquearemos até a manhã, e não deixaremos deles ninguém. E eles disseram: Faze o que bem te parecer. Disse logo o sacerdote: Acheguemo-nos aqui a Deus.
Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
37 E Saul consultou a Deus: Descerei atrás dos filisteus? os entregarás em mão de Israel? Mas o SENHOR não lhe deu resposta aquele dia.
So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
38 Então disse Saul: Achegai-vos aqui todos os principais do povo; e sabei e olhai por quem foi hoje este pecado;
Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
39 Porque vive o SENHOR, que salva a Israel, que se for em meu filho Jônatas, ele morrerá de certo. E não houve em todo o povo quem lhe respondesse.
Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
40 Disse logo a todo Israel: Vós estareis a um lado, e eu e Jônatas meu filho estaremos a outro lado. E o povo respondeu a Saul: Faze o que bem te parecer.
Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
41 Então disse Saul ao SENHOR Deus de Israel: Dá perfeição. E foram tomados Jônatas e Saul, e o povo saiu livre.
Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
42 E Saul disse: Lançai sorte entre mim e Jônatas meu filho. E foi tomado Jônatas.
Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
43 Então Saul disse a Jônatas: Declara-me que fizeste. E Jônatas se o declarou, e disse: Certo que provei com a ponta da vara que trazia em minha mão, um pouco de mel: e eis que ei de morrer?
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
44 E Saul respondeu: Assim me faça Deus e assim me acrescente, que sem dúvida morrerás, Jônatas.
Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
45 Mas o povo disse a Saul: Há, pois, de morrer Jônatas, o que fez esta salvação grande em Israel? Não será assim. Vive o SENHOR, que não há de cair um cabelo de sua cabeça em terra, pois que operou hoje com Deus. Assim livrou o povo a Jônatas, para que não morresse.
But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
46 E Saul deixou de perseguir aos filisteus; e os filisteus se foram a seu lugar.
Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
47 E ocupando Saul o reino sobre Israel, fez guerra a todos seus inimigos ao redor: contra Moabe, contra os filhos de Amom, contra Edom, contra os reis de Zobá, e contra os filisteus: e a de onde quer que se voltava era vencedor.
After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
48 E reuniu um exército, e feriu a Amaleque, e livrou a Israel da mão dos que lhe roubavam.
Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
49 E os filhos de Saul foram Jônatas, Isvi, e Malquisua. E os nomes de suas duas filhas eram, o nome da mais velha, Merabe, e o da mais nova, Mical.
Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
50 E o nome da mulher de Saul era Ainoã, filha de Aimaás. E o nome do general de seu exército era Abner, filho de Ner tio de Saul.
Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
51 Porque Quis pai de Saul, e Ner pai de Abner, foram filhos de Abiel.
Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
52 E a guerra foi forte contra os filisteus todo o tempo de Saul; e a qualquer um que Saul via homem valente e homem de esforço, juntava-lhe consigo.
All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
