1 Samuel 7
1 Os homens de Kiriath Jearim vieram e levaram a arca de Javé, e a trouxeram para a casa de Abinadab, na colina, e consagraram Eleazar, seu filho, para guardar a arca de Javé.
And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
2 Desde o dia em que a arca permaneceu em Kiriath Jearim, o tempo foi longo, pois foram vinte anos; e toda a casa de Israel lamentou depois de Yahweh.
And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel yearned after the LORD.
3 Samuel falou a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: “Se você está voltando a Iavé com todo seu coração, então afaste os deuses estrangeiros e os astaroth do meio de vocês, e dirijam seus corações para Iavé, e o sirvam somente; e ele o livrará da mão dos filisteus”.
And Samuel spoke unto all the house of Israel, saying: 'If ye do return unto the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.'
4 Então os filhos de Israel removeram os Baal e os Ashtaroth, e serviram apenas a Iavé.
Then the children of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
5 Samuel disse: “Reúna todo Israel a Mizpah, e eu rezarei a Javé por você”.
And Samuel said: 'Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.'
6 Eles se reuniram em Mizpah, tiraram água, derramaram-na diante de Iavé, jejuaram naquele dia e disseram lá: “Pecamos contra Iavé”. Samuel julgou os filhos de Israel em Mizpah.
And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there: 'We have sinned against the LORD.' And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
7 Quando os filisteus ouviram que as crianças de Israel estavam reunidas em Mizpah, os senhores dos filisteus enfrentaram Israel. Quando os filhos de Israel ouviram isso, eles tinham medo dos filisteus.
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 Os filhos de Israel disseram a Samuel: “Não pare de chorar a Javé nosso Deus por nós, que ele nos salvará da mão dos filisteus”.
And the children of Israel said to Samuel: 'Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that He save us out of the hand of the Philistines.'
9 Samuel pegou um cordeiro de leite e ofereceu-o por um holocausto inteiro a Javé. Samuel clamou a Javé por Israel, e Javé lhe respondeu.
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto the LORD; and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD answered him.
10 Quando Samuel estava oferecendo o holocausto, os filisteus se aproximaram para lutar contra Israel; mas Javé trovejou com um grande trovão naquele dia sobre os filisteus e os confundiu; e eles foram atacados diante de Israel.
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel.
11 Os homens de Israel saíram de Mizpah e perseguiram os filisteus, e os atingiram até que chegaram sob o comando de Beth Kar.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.
12 Então Samuel pegou uma pedra e a colocou entre Mizpah e Shen, e chamou seu nome de Ebenezer, dizendo: “Yahweh nos ajudou até agora”.
Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying: 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.'
13 Então os filisteus foram subjugados, e deixaram de vir dentro da fronteira de Israel. A mão de Javé foi contra os filisteus durante todos os dias de Samuel.
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel; and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 As cidades que os filisteus haviam tomado de Israel foram restauradas em Israel, de Ecrom até Gate; e Israel recuperou sua fronteira da mão dos filisteus. Havia paz entre Israel e os amoritas.
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Samuel julgou Israel durante todos os dias de sua vida.
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 Ele foi de ano a ano em um circuito para Betel, Gilgal e Mizpah; e julgou Israel em todos esses lugares.
And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
17 Seu retorno foi para Ramah, pois sua casa estava lá, e ele julgou Israel lá; e construiu um altar para Yahweh lá.
And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and he built there an altar unto the LORD.
