< 1 Samuel 13 >

1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
Um anno tinha estado Saul em seu reinado: e o segundo anno reinou sobre Israel.
2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
Então Saul escolheu para si tres mil de Israel; e estavam com Saul dois mil em Michmas, e na montanha de Beth-el, e mil estavam com Jonathan em Gibeah de Benjamin: e o resto do povo despediu, cada um para sua casa.
3 Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
E Jonathan feriu a guarnição dos philisteos que estava em Gibeah, o que os philisteos ouviram: pelo que Saul tocou a trombeta por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreos.
4 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Então todo o Israel ouviu dizer: Saul feriu a guarnição dos philisteos, e tambem Israel se fez abominavel aos philisteos. Então o povo foi convocado atraz de Saul em Gilgal.
5 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
E os philisteos se ajuntaram para pelejar contra Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavalleiros, e povo em multidão como a areia que está á borda do mar; e subiram, e se acamparam em Michmas, ao oriente de Beth-aven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
Vendo pois os homens de Israel que estava em angustia (porque o povo estava apertado) o povo se escondeu pelas cavernas, e pelos espinhaes, e pelos penhascos, e pelas fortificações, e pelas covas.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
E os hebreos passaram o Jordão para a terra de Gad e Gilead: e, estando Saul ainda em Gilgal, todo o povo veiu atraz d'elle tremendo.
8 He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
E esperou sete dias, até ao tempo que Samuel determinara; não vindo, porém, Samuel a Gilgal, o povo se espalhava d'elle.
9 Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
Então disse Saul: Trazei-me aqui um holocausto, e offertas pacificas. E offereceu o holocausto.
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
E succedeu que, acabando elle de offerecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul lhe saiu ao encontro, para o saudar.
11 Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
Então disse Samuel: Que fizeste? Disse Saul: Porquanto via que o povo se espalhava de mim, e tu não vinhas nos dias aprazados, e os philisteos já se tinham ajuntado em Michmas,
12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
Eu disse: Agora descerão os philisteos sobre mim a Gilgal, e ainda á face do Senhor não orei: e violentei-me, e offereci holocausto.
13 Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
Então disse Samuel a Saul: Obraste nesciamente, e não guardaste o mandamento que o Senhor teu Deus te ordenou; porque agora o Senhor teria confirmado o teu reino sobre Israel para sempre.
14 But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”
Porém agora não subsistirá o teu reino: já tem buscado o Senhor para si um homem segundo o seu coração, e já lhe tem ordenado o Senhor, que seja chefe sobre o seu povo, porquanto não guardaste o que o Senhor te ordenou
15 Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
Então se levantou Samuel, e subiu de Gilgal a Gibeah de Benjamin: e Saul numerou o povo que achou com elle, uns seiscentos varões.
16 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
E Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, e o povo que se achou com elles, ficaram em Gibeah de Benjamin: porém os philisteos se acamparam em Michmas.
17 The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
E os destruidores sairam do campo dos philisteos em tres companhias: uma das companhias voltou pelo caminho d'Ophra á terra de Sual:
18 another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
Outra companhia voltou pelo caminho de Beth-horon: e a outra companhia voltou pelo caminho do termo que olha para o valle Zeboim contra o deserto.
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
E em toda a terra de Israel nem um ferreiro se achava: porque os philisteos tinham dito: Para que os hebreos não façam espada nem lança.
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.
Pelo que todo o Israel tinha que descer aos philisteos para amolar cada um a sua relha, e a sua enxada, e o seu machado, e o seu sacho.
21 The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
Tinham porém limas adentadas para os seus sachos, e para as suas enxadas, e para as forquilhas de tres dentes, e para os machados, e para concertar as aguilhadas.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
E succedeu que, no dia da peleja, se não achou nem espada nem lança na mão de todo o povo que estava com Saul e com Jonathan: porém acharam-se com Saul e com Jonathan seu filho.
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
E saiu a guarnição dos philisteos ao passo de Michmas.
