1 Samuel 13

1 Havia já Saul reinado um ano; e reinado que houve dois anos sobre Israel,

Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.

2 Escolheu-se logo três mil de Israel: os dois mil estiveram com Saul em Micmás e no monte de Betel, e os mil estiveram com Jônatas em Gibeá de Benjamim; e enviou a todo o outro povo cada um a suas tendas.

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.

3 E Jônatas feriu a guarnição dos filisteus que havia no morro, e ouviram-no os filisteus. E fez Saul tocar trombetas por toda a terra, dizendo: Ouçam os hebreus.

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!”

4 E todo Israel ouviu o que se dizia: Saul feriu a guarnição dos filisteus; e também que Israel se tornou detestável aos filisteus. E juntou-se o povo sob o comando de Saul em Gilgal.

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.

5 Então os filisteus se juntaram para lutar com Israel, trinta mil carros, e seis mil cavalos, e povo quando a areia que está à beira do mar em multidão; e subiram, e assentaram acampamento em Micmás, ao oriente de Bete-Áven.

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.

6 Mas os homens de Israel, vendo-se postos em apuros, (porque o povo estava em dificuldades), escondeu-se o povo em covas, em fossos, em penhascos, em rochas e em cisternas.

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.

7 E alguns dos hebreus passaram o Jordão à terra de Gade e de Gileade: e Saul se estava ainda em Gilgal, e todo o povo ia atrás dele tremendo.

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.

8 E ele esperou sete dias, conforme ao prazo que Samuel havia dito; mas Samuel não vinha a Gilgal, e o povo se lhe desertava.

He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.

9 Então disse Saul: Trazei-me holocausto e sacrifícios pacíficos. E ofereceu o holocausto.

Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.

10 E quando ele acabava de fazer o holocausto, eis que Samuel que vinha; e Saul lhe saiu a receber para saudar-lhe.

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.

11 Então Samuel disse: Que fizeste? E Saul respondeu: Porque vi que o povo se me ia, e que tu não vinhas ao prazo dos dias, e que os filisteus estavam juntos em Micmás,

Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,

12 Disse-me: Os filisteus descerão agora contra mim a Gilgal, e eu não implorei o favor do SENHOR. Esforcei-me pois, e ofereci holocausto.

therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favor of Yahweh.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”

13 Então Samuel disse a Saul: Loucamente fizeste; não guardaste o mandamento do SENHOR teu Deus, que ele te havia intimado; porque agora o SENHOR teria confirmado teu reino sobre Israel para sempre.

Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you; for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.

14 Mas agora teu reino não será durável: o SENHOR buscou para si homem segundo seu coração, ao qual o SENHOR mandou que seja líder sobre seu povo, porquanto tu não guardaste o que o SENHOR te mandou.

But now your kingdom will not continue. Yahweh has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Yahweh commanded you.”

15 E levantando-se Samuel, subiu de Gilgal a Gibeá de Benjamim. E Saul contou a gente que se achava com ele, como seiscentos homens.

Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

16 Então Saul e Jônatas seu filho, e o povo que com eles se achava, ficaram em Gibeá de Benjamim: mas os filisteus haviam posto seu acampamento em Micmás.

Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

17 E saíram do acampamento dos filisteus em saque três esquadrões. O um esquadrão tirou pelo caminho de Ofra até a terra de Sual.

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;

18 O outro esquadrão marchou até Bete-Horom, e o terceiro esquadrão marchou até a região que está voltada ao vale de Zeboim até o deserto.

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.

19 E em toda a terra de Israel não se achava ferreiro; porque os filisteus haviam dito: Para que os hebreus não façam espada ou lança.

Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;

20 E todos os de Israel desciam aos filisteus cada qual a amolar sua relha, sua enxada, seu machado, ou seu sacho,

but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.

21 E cobravam certo preço pelas relhas, pelas enxadas, e pelas forquilhas, e outro para afiar os machados, e as aguilhadas.

The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.

22 Assim aconteceu que o dia da batalha não se achou espada nem lança em mão de algum de todo o povo que estava com Saul e com Jônatas, exceto Saul e Jônatas seu filho, que as tinham.

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.

23 E a guarnição dos filisteus saiu ao desfiladeiro de Micmás.

The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
