1 Samuel 31
1 Então os filisteus lutaram com Israel, e os de Israel fugiram diante dos filisteus, e caíram mortos no monte de Gilboa.
And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
2 E seguindo os filisteus a Saul e a seus filhos, mataram a Jônatas, e a Abinadabe, e a Malquisua, filhos de Saul.
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
3 E agravou-se a batalha sobre Saul, e lhe alcançaram os flecheiros; e teve grande temor dos flecheiros.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers.
4 Então disse Saul a seu escudeiro: Tira tua espada, e passa-me com ela, porque não venham estes incircuncisos, e me passem, e me escarneçam. Mas seu escudeiro não queria, porque tinha grande temor. Então Saul tomou a espada, e lançou-se sobre ela.
Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
5 E vendo seu escudeiro a Saul morto, ele também se lançou sobre sua espada, e morreu com ele.
And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him.
6 Assim morreu Saul naquele dia, juntamente com seus três filhos, e seu escudeiro, e todos os seus homens.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 E os de Israel que eram da outra parte do vale, e da outra parte do Jordão, vendo que Israel havia fugido, e que Saul e seus filhos eram mortos, deixaram as cidades e fugiram; e os filisteus vieram e habitaram nelas.
And when the men of Israel that were on this side of the valley, and [they] that were on this side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 E aconteceu o dia seguinte, que vindo os filisteus a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus três filhos estendidos no monte de Gilboa;
And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
9 E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e tiraram-lhe as armas; e enviaram ao redor da terra dos filisteus, para que o noticiassem no templo de seus ídolos, e pelo povo.
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings in the houses of their idols, and to the people.
10 E puseram suas armas no templo de Astarote, e colocaram seu corpo no muro de Bete-Seã.
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Mas ouvindo os de Jabes de Gileade isto que os filisteus fizeram a Saul,
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 Todos os homens valentes se levantaram, e andaram toda aquela noite, e tiraram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Bete-Seã; e vindo a Jabes, queimaram-nos ali.
all the valiant men arose and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burned them there.
13 E tomando seus ossos, sepultaram-nos debaixo de uma árvore em Jabes, e jejuaram durante sete dias.
And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
