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.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down dead 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.
The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, his sons.
3 E agravou-se a batalha sobre Saul, e lhe alcançaram os flecheiros; e teve grande temor dos flecheiros.
The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers overtook him. He was in severe pain because of them.
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 Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it. Otherwise, these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5 E vendo seu escudeiro a Saul morto, ele também se lançou sobre sua espada, e morreu com ele.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell 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, his three sons, and his armor bearer—these men all died together that same day.
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.
When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived 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;
It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, that 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.
They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent messengers into the land of the Philistines throughout to carry the news to their idols' temples and to the people.
10 E puseram suas armas no templo de Astarote, e colocaram seu corpo no muro de Bete-Seã.
They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the city wall of Beth Shan.
11 Mas ouvindo os de Jabes de Gileade isto que os filisteus fizeram a Saul,
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 fighting men arose and went all night and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan. They went to Jabesh and burned them there.
13 E tomando seus ossos, sepultaram-nos debaixo de uma árvore em Jabes, e jejuaram durante sete dias.
Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
