1 Samuel 13
1 Saul tinha trinta anos quando se tornou rei, e reinou sobre Israel durante quarenta e dois anos.
And Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of the men of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand who were in Machmas, and in mount Baethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every man to his tent.
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.
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 struck Nasib the Philistine that lived in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have despised [us].
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, Saul has struck Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Galgala.
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 gather together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Machmas, opposite Baethoron southward.
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.
And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait so that they could not draw near, and the people hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and 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.
And they that went over went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Galaad: and Saul was yet in Galgala, and all the people followed after him in amazement.
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 continued seven days for the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to Galgala, and his people were dispersed 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 [victims], that I may offer whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he offered the whole 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 when he had finished offering the whole burnt offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to meet him, [and] to bless 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 have you done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and you was not present as you purposed according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.
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”.
Then I said, Now will the Philistines come down to me to Galgala, and I have not sought the face of the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole 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, You have done foolishly; for you have not kept my command, which the Lord commanded you, as now the Lord would have confirmed your kingdom over 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 your kingdom shall not stand to you, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people, because you have not kept all that the Lord commanded you.
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 departed from Galgala, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet [him] after the men of war, when they had come out of Galgala to Gabaa of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found 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 found with them, halted in Gabaa, of Benjamin; and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Machmas.
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 men came forth to destroy out of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by the way of Gophera towards the land of Sogal,
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 turning the way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Gai of Sabim.
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”;
And there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear.
20 mas todos os israelitas desceram aos filisteus, cada um para afiar seu próprio arado, mattock, machado e foice.
And all Israel went down to the Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle.
21 O preço era um pagamento cada um para afiar mattocks, charruas, forquilhas, machados e goadas.
And it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were [valued at] three shekels for a ploughshare, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.
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.
And it came to pass in the days of the war of Machmas, that there was not a sword or spear found in the hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found.
23 A guarnição dos filisteus saiu para o desfiladeiro de Michmash.
And there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.
