1 Samuel 13

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

1Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

2Escolheu-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.

2Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof 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.

3E 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.

3And 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.

4E 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.

4And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.

5Então 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.

5And 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 pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.

6Mas 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.

6When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.

7E 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.

7And 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.

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

8And 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.

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

9And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

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

10And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.

11Então 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,

11And 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;

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

12Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

13Então 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.

13And 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.

14Mas 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.

14But 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.

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

15And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.

16Então 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.

16And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

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

17And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:

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

18And 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.

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

19Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:

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

20But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.

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

21Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.

22Assim 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.

22So 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.

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

23And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
