< 1 Samuel 14 >

1 E um dia aconteceu, que Jônatas filho de Saul disse a seu criado que lhe trazia as armas: Vem, e passemos à guarnição dos filisteus, que está a aquele lado. E não o fez saber a seu pai.
Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.
2 E Saul estava no termo de Gibeá, debaixo de uma romãzeira que há em Migrom, e o povo que estava com ele era como seiscentos homens.
Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;
3 E Aías filho de Aitube, irmão de Icabode, filho de Fineias, filho de Eli, sacerdote do SENHOR em Siló, levava o éfode; e não sabia o povo que Jônatas se houvesse ido.
and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people did not know that Jonathan was gone.
4 E entre os desfiladeiros por de onde Jônatas procurava passar à guarnição dos filisteus, havia um penhasco agudo da uma parte, e outro da outra parte; o um se chamava Bozez e o outro Sené:
Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
5 O um penhasco situado ao norte até Micmás, e o outro ao sul até Gibeá.
The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
6 Disse, pois, Jônatas a seu criado que lhe trazia as armas: Vem, passemos à guarnição destes incircuncisos: talvez fará o SENHOR por nós; que não é difícil ao SENHOR salvar com multidão ou com pouco número.
Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us; for there is no restraint on the LORD to save by many or by few."
7 E seu pajem de armas lhe respondeu: Faze tudo o que tens em teu coração: vai, que aqui estou contigo à tua vontade.
His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that your heart inclines toward. Look, I am with you, my heart is as your heart."
8 E Jônatas disse: Eis que, nós passaremos aos homens, e nos mostraremos a eles.
Then Jonathan said, "Look, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
9 Se nos disserem assim: Esperai até que cheguemos a vós; então nos estaremos em nosso lugar, e não subiremos a eles.
If they say thus to us, 'Wait until we come to you.' then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
10 Mas se nos disserem assim: Subi a nós: então subiremos, porque o SENHOR os entregou em nossas mãos: e isto nos será por sinal.
But if they say this, 'Come up to us.' then we will go up; for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us."
11 Mostraram-se, pois, ambos à guarnição dos filisteus, e os filisteus disseram: Eis que os hebreus, que saem das cavernas em que se haviam escondido.
Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves."
12 E os homens da guarnição responderam a Jônatas e a seu pajem de armas, e disseram: Subi a nós, e vos faremos saber uma coisa. Então Jônatas disse a seu pajem de armas: Sobe atrás mim, que o SENHOR os entregou na mão de Israel.
The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me; for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel."
13 E subiu Jônatas escalando com suas mãos e seus pés, e atrás dele seu pajem de armas; e os que caíam diante de Jônatas, seu pajem de armas que ia atrás dele os matava.
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
14 Esta foi a primeira derrota, na qual Jônatas com seu pajem de armas, mataram como uns vinte homens no espaço de uma meia jeira.
That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.
15 E houve tremor no acampamento e pelo campo, e entre toda a gente da guarnição; e os que haviam ido a fazer saques, também eles tremeram, e alvoroçou-se a terra: houve, pois, grande pânico.
And there was a terror in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and even the raiders were terrified. And the earth quaked, and it became a terror of God.
16 E as sentinelas de Saul viram desde Gibeá de Benjamim como a multidão estava perturbada, e ia de uma parte à outra, e era desfeita.
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw, and look, the multitude was scattering here and there.
17 Então Saul disse ao povo que tinha consigo: Reconhecei logo, e olhai quem tenha ido dos nossos. E depois de terem reconhecido, acharam que faltavam Jônatas e seu pajem de armas.
Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Count now, and see who is missing from us." When they had counted, look, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
18 E Saul disse a Aías: Traze a arca de Deus. Porque a arca de Deus estava então com os filhos de Israel.
And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring near the ephod," for he wore the ephod at that time before Israel.
19 E aconteceu que estando ainda falando Saul com o sacerdote, o alvoroço que havia no campo dos filisteus se aumentava, e ia crescendo em grande maneira. Então disse Saul ao sacerdote: Detém tua mão.
And it happened, while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."
20 E juntando Saul todo o povo que com ele estava, vieram até o lugar da batalha: e eis que a espada de cada um era volta contra seu companheiro, e a mortandade era grande.
Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and look, every man's sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.
21 E os hebreus que haviam estado com os filisteus de tempo antes, e haviam vindo com eles dos arredores ao acampamento, também estes se voltaram a ser com os israelitas que estavam com Saul e com Jônatas.
Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, they too turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Também todos os israelitas que se haviam escondido no monte de Efraim, ouvindo que os filisteus fugiam, eles também os perseguiram naquela batalha.
Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed closely after them in the battle.
23 Assim salvou o SENHOR a Israel aquele dia. E chegou o alcance até Bete-Áven.
So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth Aven. And all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men. And the battle extended itself into every city in the hill country of Ephraim.
24 Porém os homens de Israel foram postos em apuros aquele dia; porque Saul havia conjurado ao povo, dizendo: Qualquer um que comer pão até a tarde, até que tenha tomado vingança de meus inimigos, seja maldito. E todo o povo não havia provado pão.
And Saul committed a great blunder that day, for he had placed the people under an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.
25 E todo o povo daquela terra chegou a um bosque de onde havia mel na superfície do campo.
All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
26 Entrou, pois, o povo no bosque, e eis que o mel corria; mas ninguém havia que chegasse a mão à sua boca: porque o povo temia o juramento.
When the people had come to the forest, look, a flow of honey, but no man would raise his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.
27 Porém Jônatas não havia ouvido quando seu pai conjurou ao povo, e estendeu a ponta de uma vara que trazia em sua mão, e molhou-a em um favo de mel, e chegou sua mão a sua boca; e seus olhos se iluminaram.
But Jonathan did not hear when his father commanded the people with the oath, so he put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
28 Então falou um do povo, dizendo: Teu pai conjurou expressamente ao povo, dizendo: Maldito seja o homem que comer hoje alimento. E o povo desfalecia.
Then one of the people answered, and said, "Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man who eats food this day.'" The people were faint.
29 E Jônatas respondeu: Meu pai perturbou esta terra. Vede agora como foram aclarados meus olhos, por haver provado um pouco deste mel;
Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
30 Quanto mais se o povo houvesse hoje comido do despojo de seus inimigos que achou? não se haveria feito agora maior estrago nos filisteus?
How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies when they found it, for the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater."
31 E feriram aquele dia aos filisteus desde Micmás até Aijalom: mas o povo se cansou muito.
They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
32 Tornou-se, portanto, o povo ao despojo, e tomaram ovelhas e vacas e bezerros, e mataram-nos em terra, e o povo comeu com sangue.
and the people pounced upon the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
33 E dando-lhe disso aviso a Saul, disseram-lhe: O povo peca contra o SENHOR comendo com sangue. E ele disse: Vós cometestes transgressão; rolai-me agora aqui uma grande pedra.
Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood." He said, "You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day."
34 E Saul voltou a dizer: Espalhai-vos pelo povo, e dizei-lhes que me tragam cada um sua vaca, e cada qual sua ovelha, e degolai-os aqui, e comei; e não pecareis contra o SENHOR comendo com sangue. E trouxe todo o povo cada qual por sua mão sua vaca aquela noite, e ali degolaram.
Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, 'Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.'" All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
35 E edificou Saul altar ao SENHOR, o qual altar foi o primeiro que edificou ao SENHOR.
Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.
36 E disse Saul: Desçamos de noite contra os filisteus, e os saquearemos até a manhã, e não deixaremos deles ninguém. E eles disseram: Faze o que bem te parecer. Disse logo o sacerdote: Acheguemo-nos aqui a Deus.
Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." They said, "Do whatever seems good to you." Then the priest said, "Let us draw near here to God."
37 E Saul consultou a Deus: Descerei atrás dos filisteus? os entregarás em mão de Israel? Mas o SENHOR não lhe deu resposta aquele dia.
Saul asked counsel of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.
38 Então disse Saul: Achegai-vos aqui todos os principais do povo; e sabei e olhai por quem foi hoje este pecado;
And Saul said, "Come here, all you leaders of the people; and investigate and see how this sin has arisen today.
39 Porque vive o SENHOR, que salva a Israel, que se for em meu filho Jônatas, ele morrerá de certo. E não houve em todo o povo quem lhe respondesse.
For, as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
40 Disse logo a todo Israel: Vós estareis a um lado, e eu e Jônatas meu filho estaremos a outro lado. E o povo respondeu a Saul: Faze o que bem te parecer.
Then he said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." The people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."
41 Então disse Saul ao SENHOR Deus de Israel: Dá perfeição. E foram tomados Jônatas e Saul, e o povo saiu livre.
Therefore Saul said, "LORD, God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this sin is mine or in Jonathan my son, LORD, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this sin is in your people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people were cleared.
42 E Saul disse: Lançai sorte entre mim e Jônatas meu filho. E foi tomado Jônatas.
And Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. Whomever the LORD shall indicate to be taken by lot, let him die." And the people said to Saul, "This thing is not to be." And Saul prevailed over the people, and they cast lots between him and Jonathan his son. And Jonathan was selected.
43 Então Saul disse a Jônatas: Declara-me que fizeste. E Jônatas se o declarou, e disse: Certo que provei com a ponta da vara que trazia em minha mão, um pouco de mel: e eis que ei de morrer?
Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand; and look, I must die."
44 E Saul respondeu: Assim me faça Deus e assim me acrescente, que sem dúvida morrerás, Jônatas.
Saul said, "God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan."
45 Mas o povo disse a Saul: Há, pois, de morrer Jônatas, o que fez esta salvação grande em Israel? Não será assim. Vive o SENHOR, que não há de cair um cabelo de sua cabeça em terra, pois que operou hoje com Deus. Assim livrou o povo a Jônatas, para que não morresse.
The people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
46 E Saul deixou de perseguir aos filisteus; e os filisteus se foram a seu lugar.
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
47 E ocupando Saul o reino sobre Israel, fez guerra a todos seus inimigos ao redor: contra Moabe, contra os filhos de Amom, contra Edom, contra os reis de Zobá, e contra os filisteus: e a de onde quer que se voltava era vencedor.
Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the people of Ammon, and against Edom, and against Beth Rehob, and against the king of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he was victorious.
48 E reuniu um exército, e feriu a Amaleque, e livrou a Israel da mão dos que lhe roubavam.
And he did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hand of its plunderers.
49 E os filhos de Saul foram Jônatas, Isvi, e Malquisua. E os nomes de suas duas filhas eram, o nome da mais velha, Merabe, e o da mais nova, Mical.
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malkishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the younger Mikal:
50 E o nome da mulher de Saul era Ainoã, filha de Aimaás. E o nome do general de seu exército era Abner, filho de Ner tio de Saul.
and the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abiner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
51 Porque Quis pai de Saul, e Ner pai de Abner, foram filhos de Abiel.
Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
52 E a guerra foi forte contra os filisteus todo o tempo de Saul; e a qualquer um que Saul via homem valente e homem de esforço, juntava-lhe consigo.
There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
