1 Samuel 7

1E vieram os de Quriate-Jearim, e levaram a arca do SENHOR, e meteram-na em casa de Abinadabe, situada no morro; e santificaram a Eleazar seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do SENHOR.

1And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

2E aconteceu que desde o dia que chegou a arca a Quriate-Jearim passaram muito dias, vinte anos; e toda a casa de Israel se lamentou, voltando a seguir o SENHOR.

2And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

3E falou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se de todo vosso coração vos volteis ao SENHOR, tirai os deuses alheios e a Astarote de entre vós, e preparai vosso coração ao SENHOR, e a somente ele servi, e vos livrará da mão dos filisteus.

3And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4Então os filhos de Israel tiraram aos baalins e a Astarote, e serviram a somente o SENHOR.

4Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

5E Samuel disse: Juntai a todo Israel em Mispá, e eu orarei por vós ao SENHOR.

5And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.

6E juntando-se em Mispá, tiraram água, e derramaram-na diante do SENHOR, e jejuaram aquele dia, e disseram ali: Contra o SENHOR temos pecado. E julgou Samuel aos filhos de Israel em Mispá.

6And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

7E ouvindo os filisteus que os filhos de Israel estavam reunidos em Mispá, subiram os príncipes dos filisteus contra Israel: o qual quando houveram ouvido os filhos de Israel, tiveram temor dos filisteus.

7And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

8E disseram os filhos de Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar por nós ao SENHOR nosso Deus, que nos guarde da mão dos filisteus.

8And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.

9E Samuel tomou um cordeiro que ainda amamentava, e sacrificou-o inteiro ao SENHOR em holocausto: e clamou Samuel ao SENHOR por Israel, e o SENHOR lhe ouviu.

9And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.

10E aconteceu que estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os filisteus chegaram para lutar com os filhos de Israel. Mas o SENHOR trovejou aquele dia com grande estrondo sobre os filisteus, e desbaratou-os, e foram vencidos diante de Israel.

10And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

11E saindo os filhos de Israel de Mispá, seguiram aos filisteus, ferindo-os até abaixo de Bete-Car.

11And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.

12Tomou logo Samuel uma pedra, e a pôs entre Mispá e Sem, e pôs-lhe por nome Ebenézer, dizendo: Até aqui nos ajudou o SENHOR.

12Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.

13Foram, pois, os filisteus humilhados, que não vieram mais ao termo de Israel; e a mão do SENHOR foi contra os filisteus todo o tempo de Samuel.

13So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14E foram restituídas aos filhos de Israel as cidades que os filisteus haviam tomado aos israelitas, desde Ecrom até Gate, com seus termos: e Israel as livrou da mão dos filisteus. E houve paz entre Israel e o amorreu.

14And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15E julgou Samuel a Israel todo o tempo que viveu.

15And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16E todos os anos ia e dava volta a Betel, e a Gilgal, e a Mispá, e julgava a Israel em todos estes lugares.

16And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.

17Voltava-se depois a Ramá, porque ali estava sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel; e edificou ali altar ao SENHOR.

17And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
