1 Samuel 4

1 E veio a palavra de Samuel a todo o Israel: e Israel saiu ao encontro, à peleja, aos philisteus, e se acamparam junto a Eben-ezer: e os philisteus se acamparam junto a Afek.

And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.

2 E os philisteus se dispozeram em ordem de batalha, para sair ao encontro a Israel; e, estendendo-se a peleja, Israel foi ferido diante dos philisteus, porque feriram na batalha, no campo, uns quatro mil homens.

And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.

3 E tornando o povo ao arraial, disseram os anciãos de Israel: Porque nos feriu o Senhor hoje diante dos philisteus? tragamos de Silo a arca do concerto do Senhor, e venha no meio de nós, para que nos livre da mão de nossos inimigos.

And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh to us, that, when it comes among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

4 Enviou pois o povo a Silo, e trouxeram de lá a arca do concerto do Senhor dos exércitos, que habita entre os cherubins: e os dois filhos de Eli, Hophni e Phineas estavam ali com a arca do concerto de Deus.

So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwells between the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

5 E sucedeu que, vindo a arca do concerto do Senhor ao arraial, todo o Israel jubilou com grande júbilo, até que a terra estremeceu.

And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

6 E os philisteus, ouvindo a voz do júbilo, disseram: Que voz de tão grande júbilo é esta no arraial dos hebreus? então souberam que a arca do Senhor era vinda ao arraial.

And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What means the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.

7 Pelo que os philisteus se atemorisaram; porque diziam: Deus veio ao arraial. E diziam mais: Ai de nós! que tal nunca jamais sucedeu antes.

And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe to us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore.

8 Ai de nós! quem nos livrará da mão destes grandiosos deuses? estes são os deuses que feriram aos egípcios com todas as pragas junto ao deserto.

Woe to us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

9 Esforçai-vos, e sede homens, ó philisteus, para que porventura não venhais a servir aos hebreus, como eles serviram a vós; sede pois homens, e pelejai.

Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you be not servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.

10 Então pelejaram os philisteus, e Israel foi ferido, e fugiram cada um para a sua tenda; e foi tão grande o estrago, que cairam de Israel trinta mil homens de pé.

And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

11 E foi tomada a arca de Deus: e os dois filhos de Eli, Hophni e Phineas, morreram.

And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.

12 Então correu da batalha um homem de Benjamin, e chegou no mesmo dia a Silo: e trazia os vestidos rotos, e terra sobre a cabeça.

And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth on his head.

13 E, chegando ele, eis que Eli estava assentado sobre uma cadeira, vigiando ao pé do caminho; porquanto o seu coração estava tremendo pela arca de Deus: entrando pois aquele homem a anunciar isto na cidade, toda a cidade gritou.

And when he came, see, Eli sat on a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.

14 E Eli, ouvindo a voz do grito, disse: Que voz de alvoroço é esta? Então chegou aquele homem a grande pressa, e veio, e o anunciou a Eli.

And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What means the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.

15 E era Eli da idade de noventa e oito anos: e estavam os seus olhos tão escurecidos, que já não podia ver.

Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.

16 E disse aquele homem a Eli: Eu sou o que venho da batalha; porque eu fugi hoje da batalha. E disse ele: Que coisa sucedeu, filho meu?

And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?

17 Então respondeu o que trazia as novas, e disse: Israel fugiu de diante dos philisteus, e houve também grande desfeita entre o povo: e, de mais disto, também teus dois filhos, Hophni e Phineas, morreram, e a arca de Deus é tomada.

And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

18 E sucedeu que, fazendo ele menção da arca de Deus, Eli caiu da cadeira para traz, da banda da porta, e quebrou-se-lhe o pescoço e morreu: porquanto o homem era velho e pesado; e tinha ele julgado a Israel quarenta anos.

And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

19 E, estando sua nora, a mulher de Phineas, grávida, e próxima ao parto, e ouvindo estas novas, de que a arca de Deus era tomada, e de que seu sogro e seu marido morreram, encurvou-se e pariu; porquanto as dores lhe sobrevieram.

And his daughter in law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came on her.

20 E, ao tempo em que ia morrendo, disseram as mulheres que estavam com ela: Não temas, pois pariste um filho. ela porém não respondeu, nem fez caso disso.

And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said to her, Fear not; for you have born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.

21 E chamou ao menino Icabod, dizendo: Foi-se a glória de Israel. Porquanto a arca de Deus foi levada presa, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.

And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

22 E disse: De Israel a glória é levada presa: pois é tomada a arca de Deus.

And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
