I Livro de Samuel 31

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Entretanto, os filisteus atacaram Israel, e os israelitas fugiram diante deles, caindo feridos de morte no monte de Gelboé.	1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel. And the men of Israel fled before the face of the Philistines, and they fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
2 Os filisteus investiram contra Saul e seus filhos, matando Jônatas, Abinadab e Melquisua, filhos de Saul.	2 And the Philistines rushed upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 A violência do combate concentrou-se contra Saul. Os arqueiros descobriram-no e ele foi ferido no ventre.	3 And the entire weight of the battle was turned against Saul. And the men who were archers pursued him. And he was severely wounded by the archers.
4 Disse ao seu escudeiro: Tira a tua espada e traspassa-me, para que não o venham fazer esses incircuncisos, ultrajando-me! Mas o escudeiro não o quis fazer, porque se apoderou dele um grande terror. Então tomou Saul a sua espada e jogou-se sobre ela.	4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise these uncircumcised may come and kill me, mocking me.” And his armor bearer was not willing. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear. And so, Saul took his own sword, and he fell upon it.
5 O escudeiro, vendo que Saul estava morto, arremessou-se também ele sobre a sua espada e morreu com ele.	5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, namely, that Saul had died, he too fell upon his sword, and he died with him.
6 Assim, morreram naquele mesmo dia, Saul e seus três filhos, seu escudeiro e todos os seus homens.	6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.
7 Os israelitas que moravam além do vale e além do Jordão, vendo a derrota do exército de Israel e a morte de Saul com seus filhos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram; e os filisteus vieram e estabeleceram-se nelas.	7 Then, seeing that the men of the Israelites had fled, and that Saul had died with his sons, the men of Israel who were across the valley or beyond the Jordan abandoned their cities, and they fled. And the Philistines went and lived there.
8 No dia seguinte vieram os filisteus para despojar os cadáveres e encontraram Saul e seus três filhos caídos no monte Gelboé.	8 Then, when the next day arrived, the Philistines came, so that they might despoil the slain. And they found Saul and his three sons lying on mount Gilboa.
9 Cortaram-lhe a cabeça, despojaram-no de suas armas, e as enviaram por toda a terra dos filisteus, para que se publicasse essa boa nova nos templos de seus ídolos e entre o povo.	9 And they cut off the head of Saul. And they despoiled him of the armor, and they sent it into the land of the Philistines all around, so that it might be announced in the temples of the idols and among their people.
10 Puseram as armas de Saul no templo de Astarte e suspenderam o seu cadáver nos muros de Betsã.	10 And they placed his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth. But his body they suspended on the wall of Bethshan.
11 Quando os habitantes de Jabes em Galaad souberam do que os filisteus tinham feito a Saul,	11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 puseram-se a caminho os mais valentes dentre eles, e andaram toda a noite. Tiraram das muralhas de Betsã os cadáveres de Saul e de seus filhos, e voltaram a Jabes, onde os queimaram.	12 all the most valiant men rose up, and they walked all night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan. And they went to Jabesh Gilead, and they burned them there.
13 Tomaram os ossos e os enterraram debaixo da tamareira, em Jabes. Depois disso jejuaram sete dias.	13 And they took their bones, and they buried them in the forest of Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.
