1 Samuel 28
1 Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”
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 know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”
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 of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.
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 gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at 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 Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
E, vendo Saul o arraial dos philisteus, temeu, e estremeceu muito o seu coração.
6 And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
E perguntou Saul ao Senhor, porém o Senhor lhe não respondeu, nem por sonhos, nem por Urim, nem por profetas.
7 And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”
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 Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”
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: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to 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 swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
Então Saul lhe jurou pelo Senhor, dizendo: Vive o Senhor, que nenhum mal te sobrevirá por isso.
11 And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
A mulher então lhe disse: A quem te farei subir? E disse ele: Faze-me subir a Samuel.
12 And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? 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: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from 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 appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.
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 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should 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 question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
Então disse Samuel: Porque pois a mim me perguntas, visto que o Senhor te tem desamparado, e se tem feito teu inimigo?
17 For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor 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 For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.
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 the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp 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 And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.
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 so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.
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 And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”
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 refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon 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 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked 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 set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.
E os trouxe diante de Saul e de seus criados, e comeram: depois levantaram-se e se foram naquela mesma noite.
