1 Samuel 7
1 Então vieram os homens de Kiriath-jearim, e levaram a arca do Senhor, e a trouxeram à casa de Abinadab, no outeiro: e consagraram a Eleazar, seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do Senhor.
And the men of Kirjathjearim 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 E sucedeu que, desde aquele dia, a arca ficou em Kiriath-jearim, e tantos dias se passaram que até chegaram vinte anos, e lamentava toda a casa de Israel após do Senhor.
And it came to pass, while the ark stayed in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
3 Então falou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se com todo o vosso coração vos converterdes ao Senhor, tirai dentre vós os deuses estranhos e os astaroths, e preparai o vosso coração ao Senhor, e servi a ele só, e vos livrará da mão dos philisteus.
And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Então os filhos de Israel tiraram dentre si aos baalins e aos astaroths, e serviram só ao Senhor.
Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
5 Disse mais Samuel: congregai a todo o Israel em Mispah: e orarei por vós ao Senhor.
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD.
6 E congregaram-se em Mispah, e tiraram água, e a derramaram perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquele dia, e disseram ali: pecamos contra o Senhor. E julgava Samuel os filhos de Israel em Mispah.
And they gathered together to Mizpeh, 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 Mizpeh.
7 Ouvindo pois os philisteus que os filhos de Israel estavam congregados em Mispah, subiram os maiorais dos philisteus contra Israel: o que ouvindo os filhos de Israel, temeram por causa dos philisteus.
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 Pelo que disseram os filhos de Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar ao Senhor nosso Deus por nós, para que nos livre da mão dos philisteus.
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9 Então tomou Samuel um cordeiro de mama, e sacrificou-o inteiro em holocausto ao Senhor: e clamou Samuel ao Senhor por Israel, e o Senhor lhe deu ouvidos.
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
10 E sucedeu que, estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os philisteus chegaram à peleja contra Israel: e trovejou o Senhor aquele dia com grande trovoada sobre os philisteus, e os aterrou de tal modo que foram derrotados diante dos filhos 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 on the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
11 E os homens de Israel sairam de Mispah, e perseguiram os philisteus, e os feriram até abaixo de Beth-car.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.
12 Então tomou Samuel uma pedra, e a pôs entre Mispah e Sen, e chamou o seu nome Eben-ezer: e disse: Até aqui nos ajudou o Senhor.
Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Till now has the LORD helped us.
13 Assim os philisteus foram abatidos, e nunca mais vieram aos termos de Israel, porquanto foi a mão do Senhor contra os philisteus todos os dias de Samuel.
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 E as cidades que os philisteus tinham tomado a Israel foram restituídas a Israel, desde Ekron até Gath, e até os seus termos Israel arrebatou da mão dos philisteus; e houve paz entre Israel e entre os amorreus.
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 E Samuel julgou a Israel todos os dias da sua vida.
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 E ia de ano, em ano, e rodeava a bethel, e a Gilgal, e a Mispah, e julgava a Israel em todos aqueles lugares.
And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
17 Porém voltava a Rama, porque estava ali a sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel: e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor.
And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to the LORD.
