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.

And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not 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 sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men.

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 Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was 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.

And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.

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

The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.

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 the young man that bore his armor, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.

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 armor-bearer said to him, Do all that your heart inclines toward: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your heart.

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

And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.

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

If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against 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 should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a 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 both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.

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 men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them 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 on his hands and feet, and his armor-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armor-bearer did strike [them] 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 the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.

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 dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.

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 saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.

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.

And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not found.

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 Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.

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”.

And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.

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 went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbor, a very great confusion.

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.

And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites 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 Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.

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

And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.

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 Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.

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

And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.

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.

And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.

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.

And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.

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.

And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,

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

and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted 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”.

Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater.

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

And on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.

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 the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.

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”!

And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.

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, Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed [them] there.

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

And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built 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 this night, and let us plunder among them till the day break, and let us not leave a man among them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither 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 enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in 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, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.

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 as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.

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”.

And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.

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

And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped.

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

And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.

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”.

And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] die.

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

And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.

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, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.

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

And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed 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.

And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.

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

And he wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.

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.

And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.

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.

And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.

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

And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son 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.

And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
