1 Samuel 7
1 E vieram os de Quriate-Jearim, e levaram a arca do SENHOR, e meteram-na em casa de Abinadabe, situada no morro; e santificaram a Eleazar seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do SENHOR.
And then men of Cariathiarim came and fetched up the ark of the Lord and carried it into the house of Abinadab in Gabaa: and they sanctified Eleazar his son, to keep the ark of the Lord.
2 E aconteceu que desde o dia que chegou a arca a Quriate-Jearim passaram muito dias, vinte anos; e toda a casa de Israel se lamentou, voltando a seguir o SENHOR.
And it came to pass, that from the day the ark of the Lord abode in Cariathiarim days were multiplied, (for it was now the twentieth year, ) and all the house of Israel rested following the Lord.
3 E falou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se de todo vosso coração vos volteis ao SENHOR, tirai os deuses alheios e a Astarote de entre vós, e preparai vosso coração ao SENHOR, e a somente ele servi, e vos livrará da mão dos filisteus.
And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying: If you turn to the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, Baalim and Astaroth: and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Então os filhos de Israel tiraram aos baalins e a Astarote, e serviram a somente o SENHOR.
Then the children of Israel put away Baalim and Astaroth, and served the Lord only.
5 E Samuel disse: Juntai a todo Israel em Mispá, e eu orarei por vós ao SENHOR.
And Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you.
6 E juntando-se em Mispá, tiraram água, e derramaram-na diante do SENHOR, e jejuaram aquele dia, e disseram ali: Contra o SENHOR temos pecado. E julgou Samuel aos filhos de Israel em Mispá.
And they gathered together to Masphath: and they drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and they fasted on that day, and they said there: We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath.
7 E ouvindo os filisteus que os filhos de Israel estavam reunidos em Mispá, subiram os príncipes dos filisteus contra Israel: o qual quando houveram ouvido os filhos de Israel, tiveram temor dos filisteus.
And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Masphath, and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 E disseram os filhos de Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar por nós ao SENHOR nosso Deus, que nos guarde da mão dos filisteus.
And they said to Samuel: Cease not to cry to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9 E Samuel tomou um cordeiro que ainda amamentava, e sacrificou-o inteiro ao SENHOR em holocausto: e clamou Samuel ao SENHOR por Israel, e o SENHOR lhe ouviu.
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it whole for a holocaust to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
10 E aconteceu que estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os filisteus chegaram para lutar com os filhos de Israel. Mas o SENHOR trovejou aquele dia com grande estrondo sobre os filisteus, e desbaratou-os, e foram vencidos diante de Israel.
And it came to pass, when Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and terrified them, and they were overthrown before the face of Israel.
11 E saindo os filhos de Israel de Mispá, seguiram aos filisteus, ferindo-os até abaixo de Bete-Car.
And the men of Israel going out of Masphath pursued after the Philistines, and made slaughter of them till they came under Bethchar.
12 Tomou logo Samuel uma pedra, e a pôs entre Mispá e Sem, e pôs-lhe por nome Ebenézer, dizendo: Até aqui nos ajudou o SENHOR.
And Samuel took a stone, and laid it between Masphath and Sen: and he called the place, the Stone of help. And he said: Thus far the Lord hath helped us.
13 Foram, pois, os filisteus humilhados, que não vieram mais ao termo de Israel; e a mão do SENHOR foi contra os filisteus todo o tempo de Samuel.
And the Philistines were humbled, and they did not come any more into the borders of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines, all the days of Samuel.
14 E foram restituídas aos filhos de Israel as cidades que os filisteus haviam tomado aos israelitas, desde Ecrom até Gate, com seus termos: e Israel as livrou da mão dos filisteus. E houve paz entre Israel e o amorreu.
And the cities, which the Philistines had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Accaron to Geth, and their borders: and he delivered Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and there was peace between Israel and the Amorrhites.
15 E julgou Samuel a Israel todo o tempo que viveu.
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life:
16 E todos os anos ia e dava volta a Betel, e a Gilgal, e a Mispá, e julgava a Israel em todos estes lugares.
And he went every year about to Bethel and to Galgal and to Masphath, and he judged Israel in the aforesaid places.
17 Voltava-se depois a Ramá, porque ali estava sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel; e edificou ali altar ao SENHOR.
And he returned to Ramatha, for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord.
