1 Samuel 13
1 Saul tinha trinta anos quando se tornou rei, e reinou sobre Israel durante quarenta e dois anos.
Saul was [forty] years old when he began to reign; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
2 Saul escolheu para si três mil homens de Israel, dos quais dois mil estavam com Saul em Michmash e no Monte Betel, e mil estavam com Jonathan em Gibeah de Benjamin. Ele enviou o resto do povo para suas próprias tendas.
Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel, whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 Jonathan atacou a guarnição dos filisteus que estava em Geba, e os filisteus ouviram falar disso. Saul tocou a trombeta por toda a terra, dizendo: “Que os hebreus ouçam”!
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
4 Todo Israel ouviu que Saul havia golpeado a guarnição dos filisteus, e também que Israel era considerado uma abominação para os filisteus. O povo estava reunido depois de Saul em Gilgal.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Os filisteus se reuniram para lutar com Israel: trinta mil carros, seis mil cavaleiros, e o povo como a areia que está à beira-mar em multidão. Eles subiram e acamparam em Michmash, a leste da avenida Beth.
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 encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
6 Quando os homens de Israel viram que estavam em apuros (pois o povo estava angustiado), então o povo se escondeu em cavernas, em matas, em rochas, em túmulos e em cavernas.
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 coverts, and in pits.
7 Agora alguns dos hebreus haviam atravessado o Jordão para a terra de Gad e Gilead; mas quanto a Saul, ele ainda estava em Gilgal, e todo o povo o seguia 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 Ele permaneceu sete dias, de acordo com o tempo estabelecido por Samuel; mas Samuel não veio a Gilgal, e o povo estava se espalhando dele.
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 Saul disse: “Traga a oferta queimada para mim aqui, e as ofertas de paz”. Ele ofereceu o holocausto.
And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.
10 Aconteceu que, assim que terminou de oferecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul saiu ao seu encontro, para cumprimentá-lo.
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 Samuel disse: “O que você fez?”. Saul disse: “Porque eu vi que o povo estava disperso de mim, e que você não veio nos dias designados, e que os filisteus se reuniram em Michmash,
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 at Michmash;
12 portanto eu disse: 'Agora os filisteus descerão sobre mim para Gilgal, e eu não tenho tratado o favor de Yahweh'. Eu me forcei, portanto, e ofereci o holocausto”.
therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering.
13 Samuel disse a Saul: “Você fez loucuras”. Não guardaste o mandamento de Javé teu Deus, que ele te ordenou; por agora Javé teria estabelecido teu reino sobre Israel para sempre”.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
14 Mas agora seu reino não vai continuar. Javé buscou para si mesmo um homem, depois de seu próprio coração, e Javé o designou para ser príncipe sobre seu povo, porque não guardastes o que Javé vos ordenou”.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.
15 Samuel surgiu, e foi de Gilgal para Gibeah de Benjamin. Saul contou as pessoas que estavam presentes com ele, cerca de seiscentos homens.
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Saul, e Jonathan seu filho, e as pessoas que estavam presentes com eles, ficaram em Geba de Benjamin; mas os filisteus acamparam em Michmash.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 Os invasores saíram do acampamento dos filisteus em três empresas: uma empresa se voltou para o caminho que leva a Ophrah, para a terra de Shual;
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 outra empresa virou o caminho para Beth Horon; e outra empresa virou o caminho da fronteira que olha para baixo no vale de Zeboim em direção ao 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 Agora não havia ferreiro em toda a terra de Israel, pois os filisteus diziam: “Para que os hebreus não se façam espadas ou lanças”;
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 mas todos os israelitas desceram aos filisteus, cada um para afiar seu próprio arado, mattock, machado e foice.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
21 O preço era um pagamento cada um para afiar mattocks, charruas, forquilhas, machados e goadas.
yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.
22 Assim aconteceu no dia da batalha que nem espada nem lança foram encontradas na mão de nenhuma das pessoas que estavam com Saul e Jonathan; mas Saul e Jonathan seu filho as tinha.
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 A guarnição dos filisteus saiu para o desfiladeiro de Michmash.
And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.
