1 Samuel 28
1 Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.
E sucedeu naqueles dias que, juntando os philisteus os seus exércitos à peleja, para fazer guerra contra Israel, disse Achis a David: Sabe de certo que comigo sairás ao arraial, tu e os teus homens.
2 And David said to Achish, You will see now what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I will make you keeper of my head for ever.
Então disse David a Achis: Assim saberás tu o que fará o teu servo. E disse Achis a David: Por isso te terei por guarda da minha cabeça para sempre.
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.
E já Samuel era morto, e todo o Israel o tinha chorado, e o tinha sepultado em Rama, que era a sua cidade: e Saul tinha desterrado os adivinhos e os encantadores.
4 And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.
E ajuntaram-se os philisteus, e vieram, e acamparam-se em Sunem: e ajuntou Saul a todo o Israel, e se acamparam em Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the Philistine army he was troubled, and his heart was moved with fear.
E, vendo Saul o arraial dos philisteus, temeu, e estremeceu muito o seu coração.
6 And when Saul went for directions to the Lord, the Lord gave him no answer, by a dream or by the Urim or by the prophets.
E perguntou Saul ao Senhor, porém o Senhor lhe não respondeu, nem por sonhos, nem por Urim, nem por profetas.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.
Então disse Saul aos seus criados: buscai-me uma mulher que tenha o espírito de feiticeira, para que vá a ela, e consulte por ela. E os seus criados lhe disseram: Eis que em Endor há uma mulher que tem o espírito de adivinhar.
8 So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.
E Saul se disfarçou e vestiu outros vestidos, e foi ele, e com ele dois homens, e de noite vieram à mulher; e disse: Peço-te que me adivinhes pelo espírito de feiticeira, e me faças subir a quem eu te disser.
9 And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death?
Então a mulher lhe disse: Eis aqui tu sabes o que Saul fez, como tem destruído da terra os adivinhos e os encantadores: porque, pois, me armas um laço à minha vida, para me fazer matar?
10 And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this.
Então Saul lhe jurou pelo Senhor, dizendo: Vive o Senhor, que nenhum mal te sobrevirá por isso.
11 Then the woman said, Who am I to let you see? And he said, Make Samuel come up for me.
A mulher então lhe disse: A quem te farei subir? E disse ele: Faze-me subir a Samuel.
12 And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul.
Vendo pois a mulher a Samuel, gritou com alta voz, e a mulher falou a Saul, dizendo: Porque me tens enganado? pois tu mesmo és Saul.
13 And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.
E o rei lhe disse: Não temas: porém que é o que vês? Então a mulher disse a Saul: Vejo deuses que sobem da terra.
14 And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.
E lhe disse: Como é a sua figura? E disse ela: Vem subindo um homem ancião, e está envolto numa capa. Entendendo Saul que era Samuel, inclinou-se com o rosto em terra, e se prostrou.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do.
Samuel disse a Saul: Porque me desinquietaste, fazendo-me subir? Então disse Saul: Mui angustiado estou, porque os philisteus guerreiam contra mim, e Deus se tem desviado de mim, e não me responde mais, nem pelo ministério dos profetas, nem por sonhos; por isso te chamei a ti, para que me faças saber o que hei de fazer.
16 And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you?
Então disse Samuel: Porque pois a mim me perguntas, visto que o Senhor te tem desamparado, e se tem feito teu inimigo?
17 And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David;
Porque o Senhor tem feito para contigo como pela minha boca te disse, e tem rasgado o reino da tua mão, e o tem dado ao teu companheiro David.
18 Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today.
Como tu não deste ouvidos à voz do Senhor, e não executaste o fervor da sua ira contra Amalek, por isso o Senhor te fez hoje isto.
19 And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
E o Senhor entregará também a Israel contigo na mão dos philisteus, e amanhã tu e teus filhos estareis comigo; e o arraial de Israel o Senhor entregará na mão dos philisteus.
20 Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.
E imediatamente Saul caiu estendido por terra, e grandemente temeu por causa daquelas palavras de Samuel: e não houve força nele; porque não tinha comido pão todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite.
21 And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was in great trouble, and said to him, See now, your servant has given ear to your words, and I have put my life in danger by doing what you said.
Então veio a mulher a Saul, e, vendo que estava tão perturbado, disse-lhe: Eis que deu ouvidos a tua criada à tua voz, e pus a minha vida na minha mão, e ouvi as palavras que disseste.
22 So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way.
Agora pois ouve também tu as palavras da tua serva, e porei um bocado de pão diante de ti, e come, para que tenhas forças para te pores a caminho.
23 But he would not, saying, I have no desire for food. But his servants, together with the woman, made him take food, and he gave way to them. So he got up from the earth, and took his seat on the bed.
Porém ele o recusou, e disse: Não comerei. Porém os seus criados e a mulher o constrangeram; e deu ouvidos à sua voz: e levantou-se do chão, e se assentou sobre uma cama
24 And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread;
E tinha a mulher em casa uma bezerra cevada, e se apressou, e a degolou, e tomou farinha, e a amassou, e a cozeu em bolos asmos.
25 And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.
E os trouxe diante de Saul e de seus criados, e comeram: depois levantaram-se e se foram naquela mesma noite.
