1 Samuel 14

1 Agora aconteceu em um dia que Jonathan, filho de Saul, disse ao jovem que carregava sua armadura: “Venha! Vamos até a guarnição dos filisteus que está do outro lado”. Mas ele não disse a seu pai.

Now one day Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was with him, looking after his arms, Come, let us go over to the Philistine force over there. But he said nothing to his father.

2 Saul ficou na parte mais alta de Gibeá sob a romãzeira que está em Migron; e as pessoas que estavam com ele eram cerca de seiscentos homens,

And Saul was still waiting in the farthest part of Geba, under the fruit-tree in Migron: there were about six hundred men with him;

3 including Ahijah o filho de Ahitub, irmão de Ichabod, o filho de Phinehas, o filho de Eli o sacerdote de Yahweh em Shiloh, vestindo um éfode. O povo não sabia que Jonathan tinha ido embora.

And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, who had the ephod. And the people had no idea that Jonathan had gone.

4 Entre os passes, pelos quais Jonathan procurou ir até a guarnição dos filisteus, havia um penhasco rochoso de um lado e um penhasco rochoso do outro; e o nome de um era Bozez, e o nome do outro Seneh.

Now between the narrow roads over the mountains by which Jonathan was making his way to the Philistines' forces, there was a sharp overhanging rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: one was named Bozez and the other Seneh.

5 Um dos penhascos subiu ao norte na frente de Michmash, e o outro ao sul na frente de Geba.

The one rock went up on the north in front of Michmash and the other on the south in front of Geba.

6 Jonathan disse ao jovem que levava sua armadura: “Venha! Vamos até a guarnição destes incircuncisos. Pode ser que Yahweh trabalhe para nós, pois não há restrições a Yahweh para salvar por muitos ou por poucos”.

And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

7 Seu portador de armadura lhe disse: “Faça tudo o que está em seu coração”. Vai, e eis que estou contigo de acordo com teu coração”.

And his servant said to him, Do whatever is in your mind: see, I am with you in every impulse of your heart.

8 Então Jonathan disse: “Eis que passaremos para os homens, e nos revelaremos a eles.

Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.

9 Se eles nos disserem isto: “Esperem até chegarmos a vocês”, então ficaremos parados em nosso lugar e não subiremos até eles.

If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and not go up to them.

10 Mas se eles disserem isto, 'Venham até nós!', então subiremos, pois Yahweh os entregou em nossas mãos. Este será o sinal para nós”.

But if they say, Come up to us; then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands: and this will be the sign to us.

11 Ambos se revelaram à guarnição dos filisteus; e os filisteus disseram: “Eis que os hebreus estão saindo dos buracos onde se haviam escondido”!

And they let the Philistine force see the two of them: and the Philistines said, Look! the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have taken cover.

12 Os homens da guarnição responderam a Jonathan e seu portador de armadura, e disseram: “Suba até nós, e nós lhe mostraremos algo”! Jonathan disse a seu portador de armadura: “Suba atrás de mim, pois Yahweh os entregou nas mãos de Israel”.

And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.

13 Jonatã subiu em suas mãos e em seus pés, e seu portador de armadura depois dele, e eles caíram antes de Jonatã; e seu portador de armadura os matou depois dele.

And Jonathan went up, gripping with his hands and his feet, his servant going up after him; and the Philistines gave way before Jonathan when he made an attack on them, and his servant put them to death after him.

14 A primeira matança, que Jônatas e seu portador de armadura fizeram, foi de cerca de vinte homens, dentro de um comprimento de meio sulco em um acre de terra.

And at their first attack, Jonathan and his servant put to the sword about twenty men, all inside the space of half an acre of land.

15 Houve um tremor no campo, no campo e entre todas as pessoas; a guarnição e os invasores também tremeram; e a terra tremeu, de modo que houve um tremor extremamente grande.

And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.

16 Os guardas de Saul em Gibeah de Benjamin olharam; e eis que a multidão se derreteu e se dispersou.

And the watchmen of Saul, looking out from Geba in the land of Benjamin, saw all the army flowing away and running here and there.

17 Então Saul disse ao povo que estava com ele: “Conte agora, e veja quem está faltando”. Quando eles contaram, eis que Jonathan e seu portador de armaduras não estavam lá.

Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Let everyone be numbered and let us see who has gone from us. And when they had been numbered, it was seen that Jonathan and his servant were not there.

18 Saul disse a Ahijah: “Tragam a arca de Deus aqui”. Pois a arca de Deus estava com os filhos de Israel naquela época.

And Saul said to Ahijah, Let the ephod come here. For he went before Israel with the ephod at that time.

19 Enquanto Saul falava com o sacerdote, o tumulto que estava no acampamento dos filisteus continuou e aumentou; e Saul disse ao sacerdote: “Retire sua mão”.

Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the noise in the tents of the Philistines became louder and louder; and Saul said to the priest, Take back your hand.

20 Saul e todas as pessoas que estavam com ele estavam reunidos, e vieram para a batalha; e eis que todos eles estavam golpeando uns aos outros com suas espadas em uma confusão muito grande.

And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.

21 Agora os hebreus que estavam com os filisteus antes e que subiram com eles para o acampamento de todos os lados, até mesmo eles se voltaram para estar com os israelitas que estavam com Saul e Jonathan.

Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 Da mesma forma, todos os homens de Israel que se haviam escondido na região montanhosa de Efraim, quando souberam que os filisteus fugiram, até mesmo eles também os seguiram duramente na batalha.

And all the men of Israel who had taken cover in the hill-country of Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had been put to flight, went after them, attacking them.

23 Então Yahweh salvou Israel naquele dia; e a batalha passou pela avenida Beth.

So the Lord made Israel safe that day: and the fight went over to Beth-aven.

24 Os homens de Israel estavam angustiados naquele dia; pois Saul tinha contido o povo, dizendo: “Maldito é o homem que come qualquer comida até que seja noite, e eu estou vingado de meus inimigos”. Portanto, nenhum do povo provou comida.

And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.

25 Todas as pessoas entraram na floresta; e havia mel no chão.

And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;

26 Quando as pessoas chegaram à floresta, eis que o mel estava pingando, mas ninguém lhe pôs a mão na boca, pois as pessoas temiam o juramento.

But not a man put his hand to his mouth for fear of the curse.

27 Mas Jonathan não ouviu quando seu pai comandou o povo com o juramento. Portanto, ele estendeu a ponta da vara que estava em sua mão e a mergulhou no favo de mel, e colocou sua mão na boca; e seus olhos brilharam.

But Jonathan, having no knowledge of the oath his father had put on the people, stretching out the rod which was in his hand, put the end of it in the honey, and put it to his mouth; then his eyes were made bright.

28 Então um do povo respondeu, e disse: “Seu pai comandou diretamente o povo com um juramento, dizendo: 'Amaldiçoado é o homem que come comida hoje”. Então o povo estava desmaiado.

Then one of the people said to him, Your father put the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes any food this day. And the people were feeble, needing food.

29 Então Jonathan disse: “Meu pai tem perturbado a terra. Por favor, veja como meus olhos brilharam porque eu provei um pouco deste mel”.

Then Jonathan said, My father has made trouble come on the land: now see how bright my eyes have become because I have taken a little of this honey.

30 Quanto mais, se talvez o povo hoje tivesse comido livremente da pilhagem de seus inimigos que encontraram? Por enquanto, não houve grande matança entre os filisteus”.

How much more if the people had freely taken their food from the goods of those who were fighting against them! would there not have been much greater destruction among the Philistines?

31 Eles atacaram os filisteus naquele dia, de Michmash a Aijalon. O povo estava muito fraco;

That day they overcame the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were feeble from need of food.

32 e o povo derramou sobre o saque, e levou ovelhas, gado e bezerros, e os matou no chão; e o povo os comeu com o sangue.

And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.

33 Então eles disseram a Saul, dizendo: “Eis que o povo está pecando contra Javé, pois comem carne com o sangue”. Ele disse: “Você lidou traiçoeiramente”. Enrole uma grande pedra para mim hoje”!

Then it was said to Saul, See, the people are sinning against the Lord, taking the blood with the flesh. And he said to those who gave him the news, Now let a great stone be rolled to me here.

34 Saul disse: “Dispersai-vos entre o povo, e dizei-lhes: 'Cada homem me traga aqui seu boi, e cada homem suas ovelhas, e matem-nos aqui, e comam; e não pequem contra Javé ao comer carne com o sangue'”. Todo o povo trouxe cada homem seu boi com ele naquela noite, e os matou ali”.

And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.

35 Saul construiu um altar para Yahweh. Este foi o primeiro altar que ele construiu para Yahweh.

And Saul put up an altar to the Lord: this was the first altar which he put up to the Lord.

36 Saul disse: “Vamos descer atrás dos filisteus à noite, e pilhar entre eles até a luz da manhã”. Não vamos deixar um homem deles”. Eles disseram: “Faça o que lhe parecer bom”. Então o padre disse: “Vamos nos aproximar de Deus aqui”.

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.

37 Saul pediu conselho a Deus: “Devo descer depois dos filisteus? Você os entregará nas mãos de Israel”? Mas ele não lhe respondeu naquele dia.

And Saul, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go down after the Philistines? will you give them up into the hands of Israel? But he gave him no answer that day.

38 Saul disse: “Aproximem-se aqui, todos vocês, chefes do povo, e conheçam e vejam em quem este pecado tem sido hoje.

And Saul said, Come near, all you chiefs of the people, and let us get word from God and see in whom is this sin today.

39 Pois como Javé vive, que salva Israel, embora seja em Jonathan meu filho, ele certamente morrerá”. Mas não havia um homem entre todo o povo que lhe respondesse.

For, by the living Lord, the saviour of Israel, even if the sinner is Jonathan, my son, death will certainly be his fate. But not a man among all the people gave him any answer.

40 Então ele disse a todo Israel: “Tu estás de um lado, e eu e Jônatas, meu filho, estaremos do outro lado”. O povo disse a Saul: “Faça o que parece bom para você”.

Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.

41 Portanto, Saul disse a Javé, o Deus de Israel: “Mostre o direito”. Jonathan e Saul foram escolhidos, mas o povo escapou.

Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.

42 Saul disse: “Loteie entre mim e Jonathan, meu filho”. Jonathan foi selecionado.

And Saul said, Give your decision between my son Jonathan and me. And Jonathan was taken.

43 Então Saul disse a Jonathan: “Diga-me o que você fez”! Jonathan disse a ele, e disse: “Certamente provei um pouco de mel com a ponta da haste que estava em minha mão; e eis que devo morrer”.

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Give me an account of what you have done. And Jonathan gave him the story and said, Certainly I took a little honey on the end of my rod; and now death is to be my fate.

44 Saul disse: “Deus o faça e muito mais também; porque certamente morrereis, Jonathan”.

And Saul said, May God's punishment be on me if death is not your fate, Jonathan.

45 O povo disse a Saul: “Morrerá Jonathan, quem tem trabalhado esta grande salvação em Israel? Longe disso! Como Javé vive, não cairá um só cabelo de sua cabeça no chão, pois hoje ele trabalhou com Deus”! Então o povo resgatou Jônatas, para que ele não morresse.

And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.

46 Então Saul passou a seguir os filisteus; e os filisteus foram para o seu próprio lugar.

Then Saul, turning back, went after the Philistines no longer: and the Philistines went back to their place.

47 Now quando Saul tomou o reino sobre Israel, ele lutou contra todos os seus inimigos de todos os lados: contra Moabe, e contra os filhos de Amon, e contra Edom, e contra os reis de Zobah, e contra os filisteus. Onde quer que ele se voltasse, ele os derrotava.

Now when Saul had taken his place as ruler of Israel, he made war on those who were against him on every side, Moab and the Ammonites and Edom and the kings of Zobah and the Philistines: and whichever way he went, he overcame them.

48 Ele fez valentemente e atingiu os amalequitas, e libertou Israel das mãos daqueles que os saquearam.

And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.

49 Agora os filhos de Saul eram Jonathan, Ishvi e Malchishua; e os nomes de suas duas filhas eram estes: o nome do primogênito Merab, e o nome do mais jovem Michal.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;

50 O nome da esposa de Saul era Ahinoam, a filha de Ahimaaz. O nome do capitão de seu exército era Abner, o filho de Ner, tio de Saul.

The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, brother of Saul's father.

51 Kish era o pai de Saul, e Ner o pai de Abner era o filho de Abiel.

Kish, the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel.

52 Houve uma guerra severa contra os filisteus todos os dias de Saul; e quando Saul viu qualquer homem poderoso ou valente, ele o levou ao seu serviço.

All through the life of Saul there was bitter war against the Philistines; and whenever Saul saw any strong man or any good fighting man, he kept him near himself.
