1 Samuel 28

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”	1 Por aquele tempo, os filisteus mobilizaram suas tropas em um só exército para combater contra Israel. Aquis disse a Davi: Sabe que virás comigo à guerra, tu e os teus homens.
2 And David said to Achish, “You know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”	2 Davi respondeu: Tu verás do que é capaz o teu servo. Pois bem, disse Aquis, confio-te para sempre a guarda de minha pessoa!
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.	3 Samuel tinha falecido e todo o Israel o chorara. Tinham-no sepultado em Ramá, sua cidade. E Saul expulsara da terra os necromantes, os feiticeiros e os adivinhos.
4 And the Philistines gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at Gilboa.	4 Os filisteus mobilizados vieram acampar em Sunão, enquanto Saul ajuntava os israelitas, acampando em Gelboé.
5 And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.	5 Ao ver o acampamento dos filisteus, Saul inquietou-se e teve grande medo.
6 And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.	6 E consultou o Senhor, o qual não lhe respondeu nem por sonhos, nem pelo urim, nem pelos profetas.
7 And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”	7 O rei disse aos seus servos: Procurai-me uma necromante para que eu a consulte. Há uma em Endor, responderam-lhe.
8 Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”	8 Saul disfarçou-se, tomou outras vestes e pôs-se a caminho com dois homens. Chegaram à noite à casa da mulher. Saul disse-lhe: Predize-me o futuro, evocando um morto; faze-me vir aquele que eu te designar.
9 And the woman said to him: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to death?”	9 Respondeu-lhe a mulher: Tu bem sabes o que fez Saul, como expulsou da terra os necromantes e os adivinhos. Por que me armas ciladas para matar-me?
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”	10 Saul, porém, jurou-lhe pelo Senhor: Por Deus, disse ele, não te acontecerá mal algum por causa disso.
11 And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”	11 Disse-lhe então a mulher: A quem evocarei? Evoca-me Samuel.
12 And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? For you are Saul!”	12 E a mulher, tendo visto Samuel, soltou um grande grito: Por que me enganaste?, disse ela ao rei. Tu és Saul!
13 And the king said to her: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from the earth.”	13 E o rei: Não temas! Que vês? A mulher: Vejo um deus que sobe da terra.
14 And he said to her, “What appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.	14 Qual é o seu aspecto? É um ancião, envolto num manto. Saul compreendeu que era Samuel, e prostrou-se com o rosto por terra.
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should do.”	15 Samuel disse ao rei: Por que me incomodaste, fazendo-me subir aqui? Estou em grande angústia, disse o rei. Os filisteus atacam-me e Deus se retirou de mim, não me respondendo mais, nem por profetas, nem por sonhos. Chamei-te para que me indiques o que devo fazer.
16 And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?	16 Samuel disse-lhe: Por que me consultas, uma vez que o Senhor se retirou de ti, tornando-se teu adversário?
17 For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor David.	17 Fez o Senhor como tinha anunciado pela minha boca: ele tira a realeza de tua mão para dá-la a outro, a Davi.
18 For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.	18 Não obedeceste à voz do Senhor e não fizeste sentir a Amalec o fogo de sua cólera; eis por que o Senhor te trata hoje assim.
19 And the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”	19 E mais: o Senhor vai entregar Israel, juntamente contigo, nas mãos dos filisteus. Amanhã, tu e teus filhos estareis comigo, e o Senhor entregará aos filisteus o acampamento de Israel.
20 And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.	20 Saul, atemorizado com as palavras de Samuel, caiu estendido por terra, pois estava extenuado, nada tendo comido todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite.
21 And so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.	21 A mulher aproximou-se de Saul, e, vendo-o assim extremamente aterrado, disse-lhe: Tua serva obedeceu-te. Expus minha vida para obedecer à ordem que me deste.
22 And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”	22 Ouve agora, tu também, a voz de tua serva. Vou dar-te um pouco de alimento, para que o comas e tenhas força para retomar o teu caminho.
23 But he refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon the bed.	23 Saul, porém, recusou: Não comerei, disse ele. Entretanto, insistindo com ele seus servos e a mulher, cedeu; levantou-se do chão e sentou-se na cama.
24 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked unleavened bread.	24 A mulher tinha em casa um bezerro cevado. Matou-o depressa e, tomando farinha, amassou-a, fazendo com ela pães sem fermento.
25 And she set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.	25 Cozeu-os e levou-os a Saul e à sua gente. Tendo comido, levantaram-se e partiram naquela mesma noite.
