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 fugiram de diante dos filisteus, e caíram mortos no monte Gilboa.
2The Philistines followed hard on Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
2E os filisteus apertaram com Saul e seus filhos, e mataram a Jônatas, a Abinadabe e e a Malquisua, filhos de Saul.
3The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
3A peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram, e o feriram gravemente.
4Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me!” But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
4Pelo que disse Saul ae seu escudeiro: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que porventura não venham esses incircuncisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Mas o seu escudeiro não quis, porque temia muito. Então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ela.
5When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
5Vendo, pois, e seu escudeiro que Saul já era morto, também ele se lançou sobre a sua espada, e morreu com ele.
6So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
6Assim morreram juntamente naquele dia Saul, seus três filhos, e seu escudeiro, e todos os seus homens.
7When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
7Quando os israelitas que estavam no outro lado do vale e os que estavam além de Jordão viram que os homens de Israel tinham fugido, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram; e vieram os filisteus e habitaram nelas.
8It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
8No dia seguinte, quando os filisteus vieram para despojar os mortos, acharam Saul e seus três filhos estirados no monte Gilboa.
9They cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols, and to the people.
9Então cortaram a cabeça a Saul e o despejaram das suas armas; e enviaram pela terra dos filisteus, em redor, a anunciá-lo no templo dos seus ídolos e entre e povo,
10They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
10Puseram as armas de Saul no templo de Astarote; e penduraram o seu corpo no muro de Bete-Sã.
11When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
11Quando os moradores de Jabes-Gileade ouviram isso a respeito de Saul, isto é, o que os filisteus lhe tinham feito,
12all the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
12todos os homens valorosos se levantaram e, caminhando a noite toda, tiraram e corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Bete-Sã; e voltando a Jabes, ali os queimaram.
13They took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13Depois tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo da tamargueira, em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.
