1Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
1Ora, os filisteus pelejaram contra Israel; e os homens de Israel, fugindo de diante dos filisteus, caíram mortos no monte Gilboa.
2The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
2Os filisteus perseguiram a Saul e seus filhos, e mataram Jônatas, Abinadabe e Malquisua, filhos de Saul.
3The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
3A peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram, e ele foi ferido pelos flecheiros.
4Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
4Então disse Saul: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que que não venham estes incircuncisos e escarneçam de mim. Mas o seu escudeiro não quis, porque temia muito; então tomou Saul a sua espada, e se lançou sobre ela.
5When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.
5Vendo, pois, o seu escudeiro que Saul estava morto, lançou-se também sobre sua espada, e morreu.
6So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together.
6Assim morreram Saul e seus três filhos; morreu toda a sua casa juntamente.
7When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
7Quando todos os homens de Israel que estavam no vale viram que Israel havia fugido, e que Saul eram mortos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram, e vindo os filisteus, habitaram nelas.
8It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
8No dia seguinte, quando os filisteus vieram para despojar os mortos acharam Saul e seus filhos estirados no monte Gilboa.
9They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
9Então o despojaram, tomaram a sua cabeça e as suas armas, e enviaram mensageiros pela terra dos filisteus em redor, para levarem a boa nova a seus ídolos e ao povo.
10They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
10Puseram as armas dele na casa de seus deuses, e pregaram-lhe a cabeça na casa de Dagom.
11When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
11Quando, pois, toda a Jabes-Gileade ouviu tudo quanto os filisteus haviam feito a Saul,
12all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
12todos os homens valentes se levantaram e, tomando o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos, trouxeram-nos: a Jabes; e sepultaram os seus ossos debaixo o terebinto em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.
13So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of the word of Yahweh, which he didn’t keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
13Assim morreu Saul por causa da sua infidelidade para com o Senhor, porque não havia guardado a palavra do Senhor; e também porque buscou a adivinhadora para a consultar,
14and didn’t inquire of Yahweh: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
14e não buscou ao Senhor; pelo que ele o matou, e transferiu o reino a Davi, filho de Jessé.
