< 1 Samuel 14 >

1 Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.
Sucedeu pois que um dia disse Jonathan, filho de Saul, ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição dos philisteus, que está lá daquela banda. Porém não o fez saber a seu pai
2 Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;
E estava Saul à extremidade de Gibeah, debaixo da romeira que estava em Migron; e o povo que havia com ele eram uns seiscentos homens.
3 and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people did not know that Jonathan was gone.
E Ahija, filho de Ahitub, irmão de Icabod, o filho de Phineas, filho de Eli, sacerdote do Senhor em Silo, trazia o éfode: porém o povo não sabia que Jonathan tinha ido.
4 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
E entre os passos pelos quais Jonathan procurava passar à guarnição dos philisteus, desta banda havia uma penha aguda, e da outra banda uma penha aguda: e era o nome de uma Bozez, e o nome da outra Senné.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Uma penha para o norte estava defronte de Michmas, e a outra para o sul defronte de Gibeah.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint on Jehovah to save by many or by few."
Disse pois Jonathan ao moço que lhe levava as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição destes incircuncisos; porventura obrará o Senhor por nós, porque para com o Senhor nenhum impedimento há de livrar com muitos ou com poucos.
7 His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that your heart inclines toward. Look, I am with you, my heart is as your heart."
Então o seu pagem de armas lhe disse: Faze tudo o que tens no coração; volta, eis-me aqui contigo, conforme ao teu coração.
8 Then Jonathan said, "Look, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
Disse pois Jonathan: Eis que passaremos àqueles homens, e nos descobriremos a eles.
9 If they say thus to us, 'Wait until we come to you.' then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
Se nos disserem assim: parai até que cheguemos a vós; então ficaremos no nosso lugar, e não subiremos a eles.
10 But if they say this, 'Come up to us.' then we will go up; for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us."
Porém, dizendo assim: Subi a nós; então subiremos, pois o Senhor os tem entregado na nossa mão, e isto nos será por sinal.
11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves."
Descobrindo-se ambos eles pois à guarnição dos philisteus, disseram os philisteus: Eis que já os hebreus sairam das cavernas em que se tinham escondido.
12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel."
E os homens da guarnição responderam a Jonathan e ao seu pagem de armas, e disseram: Subi a nós, e nós vo-lo ensinaremos. E disse Jonathan ao seu pagem de armas: Sobe atráz de mim, porque o Senhor os tem entregado na mão de Israel.
13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
Então trepou Jonathan com os pés e com as mãos, e o seu pagem de armas atráz dele: e cairam diante de Jonathan, e o seu pagem de armas os matava atráz dele.
14 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.
E sucedeu esta primeira desfeita, em que Jonathan e o seu pagem de armas feriram até uns vinte homens, quase no meio de uma geira de terra que uma junta de bois podia lavrar.
15 And there was a terror in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and even the raiders were terrified. And the earth quaked, and it became a terror of God.
E houve tremor no arraial, no campo e em todo o povo; também a mesma guarnição e os destruidores tremeram, e até a terra se alvoroçou, porquanto era tremor de Deus.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw, and look, the multitude was scattering here and there.
Olharam pois as sentinelas de Saul em Gibeah de Benjamin, e eis que a multidão se derramava, e fugia batendo-se.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Count now, and see who is missing from us." When they had counted, look, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
Disse então Saul ao povo que estava com ele: Ora numerai, e vede quem é que saiu dentre nós. E numeraram, e eis que nem Jonathan nem o seu pagem de armas estavam ali
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring near the ephod," for he wore the ephod at that time before Israel.
Então Saul disse a Ahija: Traze aqui a arca de Deus (porque naquele dia estava a arca de Deus com os filhos de Israel).
19 And it happened, while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."
E sucedeu que, estando Saul ainda falando com o sacerdote, o alvoroço que havia no arraial dos philisteus ia crescendo muito, e se multiplicava, pelo que disse Saul ao sacerdote: Retira a tua mão.
20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and look, every man's sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.
Então Saul e todo o povo que havia com ele se convocaram, e vieram à peleja; e eis que a espada dum era contra o outro, e houve mui grande tumulto.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, they too turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Também com os philisteus havia hebreus, como de antes, que subiram com eles ao arraial em redor; e também estes se ajuntaram com os israelitas que estavam com Saul e Jonathan.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed closely after them in the battle.
Ouvindo pois todos os homens de Israel que se esconderam pela montanha de Ephraim que os philisteus fugiam, eles também os perseguiram de perto na peleja.
23 So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth Aven. And all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men. And the battle extended itself into every city in the hill country of Ephraim.
Assim livrou o Senhor a Israel naquele dia: e o arraial passou a Beth-aven.
24 And Saul committed a great blunder that day, for he had placed the people under an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.
E estavam os homens de Israel já exaustos naquele dia, porquanto Saul conjurou o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer pão até à tarde, para que me vingue de meus inimigos. Pelo que todo o povo se absteve de provar pão
25 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
E toda a terra chegou a um bosque: e havia mel na superfície do campo.
26 When the people had come to the forest, look, a flow of honey, but no man would raise his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.
E, chegando o povo ao bosque, eis que havia um manancial de mel: porém ninguém chegou a mão à boca porque o povo temia a conjuração
27 But Jonathan did not hear when his father commanded the people with the oath, so he put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
Porém Jonathan não tinha ouvido quando seu pai conjurava o povo, e estendeu a ponta da vara que tinha na mão, e a molhou no favo de mel; e, tornando a mão à boca, aclararam-se os seus olhos.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, "Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man who eats food this day.'" The people were faint.
Então respondeu um do povo, e disse: solenemente conjurou teu pai o povo, dizendo: Maldito o homem que comer hoje pão. Pelo que o povo desfalecia.
29 Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
Então disse Jonathan: Meu pai tem turbado a terra; ora vede como se me aclararam os olhos por ter gostado um pouco deste mel,
30 How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies when they found it, for the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater."
Quanto mais se o povo hoje livremente tivesse comido do despojo que achou de seus inimigos. Porém agora não foi tão grande o estrago dos philisteus.
31 They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
Feriram porém aquele dia aos philisteus, desde Michmas até Ajalon, e o povo desfaleceu em extremo.
32 and the people pounced upon the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
Então o povo se lançou ao despojo, e tomaram ovelhas, e vacas, e bezerros, e os degolaram no chão; e o povo os comeu com sangue.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against Jehovah, in that they eat meat with the blood." He said, "You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day."
E o anunciaram a Saul, dizendo: Eis que o povo peca contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. E disse ele: Aleivosamente obrastes; revolvei-me hoje uma grande pedra.
34 Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, 'Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and do not sin against Jehovah in eating meat with the blood.'" All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
Disse mais Saul: derramai-vos entre o povo, e dizei-lhes: Trazei-me cada um o seu boi, e cada um a sua ovelha, e degolai-os aqui, e comei, e não pequeis contra o Senhor, comendo com sangue. Então todo o povo trouxe de noite, cada um com a sua mão, o seu boi, e os degolaram ali.
35 Saul built an altar to Jehovah. This was the first altar that he built to Jehovah.
Então edificou Saul um altar ao Senhor: este foi o primeiro altar que edificou ao Senhor.
36 Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." They said, "Do whatever seems good to you." Then the priest said, "Let us draw near here to God."
Depois disse Saul: Desçamos de noite atráz dos philisteus, e despojemo-los, até que amanheça a luz, e não deixemos de resto um homem deles. E disseram: Tudo o que parecer bem aos teus olhos faze. Disse porém o sacerdote: Cheguemo-nos aqui a Deus
37 Saul asked counsel of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.
Então consultou Saul a Deus, dizendo: Descerei atráz dos philisteus? entrega-los-ás na mão de Israel? Porém aquele dia lhe não respondeu.
38 And Saul said, "Come here, all you leaders of the people; and investigate and see how this sin has arisen today.
Então disse Saul: chegai-vos para cá de todos os chefes do povo, e informai-vos, e vede em que se cometeu hoje este pecado;
39 For, as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
Porque vive o Senhor que salva a Israel, que, ainda que fosse em meu filho Jonathan, certamente morrerá. E nenhum de todo o povo lhe respondeu.
40 Then he said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." The people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."
Disse mais a todo o Israel: Vós estareis de uma banda, e eu e meu filho Jonathan estaremos da outra banda. Então disse o povo a Saul: Faze o que parecer bem aos teus olhos.
41 Therefore Saul said, "Jehovah, God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this sin is mine or in Jonathan my son, Jehovah, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this sin is in your people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people were cleared.
Falou pois Saul ao Senhor Deus de Israel: Mostra o inocente. Então Jonathan e Saul foram tomados por sorte, e o povo saiu livre.
42 And Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. Whomever Jehovah shall indicate to be taken by lot, let him die." And the people said to Saul, "This thing is not to be." And Saul prevailed over the people, and they cast lots between him and Jonathan his son. And Jonathan was selected.
Então disse Saul: lançai a sorte entre mim e Jonathan, meu filho. E foi tomado Jonathan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand; and look, I must die."
Disse então Saul a Jonathan: Declara-me o que tens feito. E Jonathan lho declarou, e disse: Tão somente gostei um pouco de mel com a ponta da vara que tinha na mão; eis que devo morrer.
44 Saul said, "God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan."
Então disse Saul: Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, que com certeza morrerás, Jonathan.
45 The people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
Porém o povo disse a Saul: Morrerá Jonathan, que obrou tão grande salvação em Israel? nunca tal suceda; vive o Senhor, que não lhe há de cair no chão um só cabelo da sua cabeça! pois com Deus fez isso hoje. Assim o povo livrou a Jonathan, para que não morresse.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
E Saul deixou de seguir os philisteus: e os philisteus se foram ao seu lugar.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the people of Ammon, and against Edom, and against Beth Rehob, and against the king of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he was victorious.
Então tomou Saul o reino sobre Israel; e pelejou contra todos os seus inimigos em redor: contra Moab, e contra os filhos de Ammon, e contra Edom, e contra os reis de Zoba, e contra os philisteus, e para onde quer que se tornava executava castigos.
48 And he did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hand of its plunderers.
E houve-se valorosamente, e feriu aos amalequitas: e libertou a Israel da mão dos que o saqueavam.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malkishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the younger Mikal:
E os filhos de Saul eram Jonathan, e Isvi, e Malchisua: e os nomes de suas duas filhas eram estes: o nome da mais velha Merab, e o nome da mais nova, Michal.
50 and the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abiner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
E o nome da mulher de Saul, Ahinoam, filha de Ahimaas: e o nome do general do exército, Abner, filho de Ner, tio de Saul.
51 Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
E Kis, pai de Saul, e Ner, pai de Abner, eram filhos de Abiel.
52 There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
E houve uma forte guerra contra os philisteus, todos os dias de Saul: pelo que Saul a todos os homens valentes e valorosos que via os agregava a si.
