< 1 Samuel 31 >
1 Now os filisteus lutaram contra Israel; e os homens de Israel fugiram de antes dos filisteus, e caíram mortos no Monte Gilboa.
And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
2 os filisteus dominaram Saul e seus filhos; e os filisteus mataram Jonathan, Abinadab e Malchishua, os filhos de Saul.
And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
3 A batalha foi dura contra Saul, e os arqueiros o dominaram; e ele ficou muito angustiado por causa dos arqueiros.
And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
4 Então Saul disse a seu portador de armadura: “Tira tua espada, e me empurra com ela, para que estes incircuncisos não venham e me empurrem e abusem de mim”! Mas seu portador de armadura não o faria, pois ele estava aterrorizado. Por isso Saul pegou sua espada e caiu sobre ela.
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.
5 Quando seu portador de armadura viu que Saul estava morto, ele também caiu sobre sua espada, e morreu com ele.
And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Assim, Saul morreu com seus três filhos, seu portador de armadura e todos os seus homens juntos naquele mesmo dia.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, in that day together.
7 Quando os homens de Israel que estavam do outro lado do vale, e aqueles que estavam além do Jordão, viram que os homens de Israel fugiram e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, abandonaram as cidades e fugiram; e os filisteus vieram e viveram nelas.
And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 No dia seguinte, quando os filisteus vieram para despojar os mortos, encontraram Saul e seus três filhos caídos no Monte Gilboa.
And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
9 Cortaram-lhe a cabeça, tiraram-lhe a armadura e mandaram para a terra dos filisteus por toda parte, para levar a notícia para a casa de seus ídolos e para o povo.
And they turned him, and stripped off his armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
10 Eles colocaram sua armadura na casa dos Ashtaroth, e prenderam seu corpo ao muro de Beth Shan.
And they set up his armor at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
11 Quando os habitantes de Jabesh Gilead ouviram o que os filisteus tinham feito a Saul,
And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
12 todos os homens valentes se levantaram, foram a noite toda e levaram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Beth Shan; e vieram a Jabesh e os queimaram lá.
And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
13 Eles pegaram seus ossos e os enterraram sob a tamargueira em Jabesh, e jejuaram sete dias.
And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
