1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel. And the men of Israel fled before the face of the Philistines, and they fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
Então os filisteus lutaram com Israel, e os de Israel fugiram diante dos filisteus, e caíram mortos no monte de Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines rushed upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
E seguindo os filisteus a Saul e a seus filhos, mataram a Jônatas, e a Abinadabe, e a Malquisua, filhos de Saul.
3 And the entire weight of the battle was turned against Saul. And the men who were archers pursued him. And he was severely wounded by the archers.
E agravou-se a batalha sobre Saul, e lhe alcançaram os flecheiros; e teve grande temor dos flecheiros.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise these uncircumcised may come and kill me, mocking me.” And his armor bearer was not willing. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear. And so, Saul took his own sword, and he fell upon it.
Então disse Saul a seu escudeiro: Tira tua espada, e passa-me com ela, porque não venham estes incircuncisos, e me passem, e me escarneçam. Mas seu escudeiro não queria, porque tinha grande temor. Então Saul tomou a espada, e lançou-se sobre ela.
5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, namely, that Saul had died, he too fell upon his sword, and he died with him.
E vendo seu escudeiro a Saul morto, ele também se lançou sobre sua espada, e morreu com ele.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
Assim morreu Saul naquele dia, juntamente com seus três filhos, e seu escudeiro, e todos os seus homens.
7 Then, seeing that the men of the Israelites had fled, and that Saul had died with his sons, the men of Israel who were across the valley or beyond the Jordan abandoned their cities, and they fled. And the Philistines went and lived there.
E os de Israel que eram da outra parte do vale, e da outra parte do Jordão, vendo que Israel havia fugido, e que Saul e seus filhos eram mortos, deixaram as cidades e fugiram; e os filisteus vieram e habitaram nelas.
8 Then, when the next day arrived, the Philistines came, so that they might despoil the slain. And they found Saul and his three sons lying on mount Gilboa.
E aconteceu o dia seguinte, que vindo os filisteus a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus três filhos estendidos no monte de Gilboa;
9 And they cut off the head of Saul. And they despoiled him of the armor, and they sent it into the land of the Philistines all around, so that it might be announced in the temples of the idols and among their people.
E cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e tiraram-lhe as armas; e enviaram ao redor da terra dos filisteus, para que o noticiassem no templo de seus ídolos, e pelo povo.
10 And they placed his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth. But his body they suspended on the wall of Bethshan.
E puseram suas armas no templo de Astarote, e colocaram seu corpo no muro de Bete-Seã.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Mas ouvindo os de Jabes de Gileade isto que os filisteus fizeram a Saul,
12 all the most valiant men rose up, and they walked all night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan. And they went to Jabesh Gilead, and they burned them there.
Todos os homens valentes se levantaram, e andaram toda aquela noite, e tiraram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Bete-Seã; e vindo a Jabes, queimaram-nos ali.
13 And they took their bones, and they buried them in the forest of Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
E tomando seus ossos, sepultaram-nos debaixo de uma árvore em Jabes, e jejuaram durante sete dias.
