1 Samuel 13
1 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
Saul tinha trinta anos quando se tornou rei, e reinou sobre Israel durante quarenta e dois anos.
2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel; of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Saul escolheu para si três mil homens de Israel, dos quais dois mil estavam com Saul em Michmash e no Monte Betel, e mil estavam com Jonathan em Gibeah de Benjamin. Ele enviou o resto do povo para suas próprias tendas.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Jonathan atacou a guarnição dos filisteus que estava em Geba, e os filisteus ouviram falar disso. Saul tocou a trombeta por toda a terra, dizendo: “Que os hebreus ouçam”!
4 And all Israel heard it said that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was held in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
Todo Israel ouviu que Saul havia golpeado a guarnição dos filisteus, e também que Israel era considerado uma abominação para os filisteus. O povo estava reunido depois de Saul em Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
Os filisteus se reuniram para lutar com Israel: trinta mil carros, seis mil cavaleiros, e o povo como a areia que está à beira-mar em multidão. Eles subiram e acamparam em Michmash, a leste da avenida Beth.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were hedged in, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
Quando os homens de Israel viram que estavam em apuros (pois o povo estava angustiado), então o povo se escondeu em cavernas, em matas, em rochas, em túmulos e em cavernas.
7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Agora alguns dos hebreus haviam atravessado o Jordão para a terra de Gad e Gilead; mas quanto a Saul, ele ainda estava em Gilgal, e todo o povo o seguia tremendo.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Ele permaneceu sete dias, de acordo com o tempo estabelecido por Samuel; mas Samuel não veio a Gilgal, e o povo estava se espalhando dele.
9 And Saul said, Bring here a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
Saul disse: “Traga a oferta queimada para mim aqui, e as ofertas de paz”. Ele ofereceu o holocausto.
10 And 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 bless him.
Aconteceu que, assim que terminou de oferecer o holocausto, eis que Samuel chegou; e Saul saiu ao seu encontro, para cumprimentá-lo.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;
Samuel disse: “O que você fez?”. Saul disse: “Porque eu vi que o povo estava disperso de mim, e que você não veio nos dias designados, e que os filisteus se reuniram em Michmash,
12 Therefore said I, The Philistines will now come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.
portanto eu disse: 'Agora os filisteus descerão sobre mim para Gilgal, e eu não tenho tratado o favor de Yahweh'. Eu me forcei, portanto, e ofereci o holocausto”.
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Samuel disse a Saul: “Você fez loucuras”. Não guardaste o mandamento de Javé teu Deus, que ele te ordenou; por agora Javé teria estabelecido teu reino sobre Israel para sempre”.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
Mas agora seu reino não vai continuar. Javé buscou para si mesmo um homem, depois de seu próprio coração, e Javé o designou para ser príncipe sobre seu povo, porque não guardastes o que Javé vos ordenou”.
15 And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
Samuel surgiu, e foi de Gilgal para Gibeah de Benjamin. Saul contou as pessoas que estavam presentes com ele, cerca de seiscentos homens.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Saul, e Jonathan seu filho, e as pessoas que estavam presentes com eles, ficaram em Geba de Benjamin; mas os filisteus acamparam em Michmash.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leadeth to Ophrah, to the land of Shual:
Os invasores saíram do acampamento dos filisteus em três empresas: uma empresa se voltou para o caminho que leva a Ophrah, para a terra de Shual;
18 And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
outra empresa virou o caminho para Beth Horon; e outra empresa virou o caminho da fronteira que olha para baixo no vale de Zeboim em direção ao deserto.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
Agora não havia ferreiro em toda a terra de Israel, pois os filisteus diziam: “Para que os hebreus não se façam espadas ou lanças”;
20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
mas todos os israelitas desceram aos filisteus, cada um para afiar seu próprio arado, mattock, machado e foice.
21 And there was a charge of a third of a shekel for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
O preço era um pagamento cada um para afiar mattocks, charruas, forquilhas, machados e goadas.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
Assim aconteceu no dia da batalha que nem espada nem lança foram encontradas na mão de nenhuma das pessoas que estavam com Saul e Jonathan; mas Saul e Jonathan seu filho as tinha.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
A guarnição dos filisteus saiu para o desfiladeiro de Michmash.
