1 ULB Um dia, Jônatas, filho de Saul, disse ao seu jovem escudeiro: "Venha, vamos até as tropas militares dos filisteus, que estão do outro lado". Mas ele não contou a seu pai. BSB BSB: One day Jonathan son of Saul said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the Philistine outpost on the other side.” But Jonathan did not tell his father.
2 ULB Saul estava nas fronteiras de Gibeá, debaixo da romeira em Migrom. Havia cerca de seiscentos homens com ele, BSB BSB: Meanwhile, Saul was staying under the pomegranate tree in Migron on the outskirts of Gibeah. And the troops who were with him numbered about six hundred men,
3 ULB incluindo Aías, filho de Aitube, irmão de Icabode, filho de Finéias, filho de Eli, sacerdote de Yahweh em Siló, que vestia um manto sacerdotal. O povo não sabia que Jônatas havia ido. BSB BSB: including Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was the son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh. But the troops did not know that Jonathan had left.
4 ULB De cada lado do desfiladeiro que Jônatas pretendia atravessar para alcançar a tropa dos filisteus, havia um penhasco rochoso de um lado e de outro. O nome de um penhasco era Bozez, e o do outro era Sené. BSB BSB: Now there were cliffs on both sides of the pass that Jonathan intended to cross to reach the Philistine outpost. One was named Bozez and the other Seneh.
5 ULB Um desses penhascos se localizava ao norte, defronte de Micmás, e o outro ao sul defronte de Gibeá. BSB BSB: One cliff stood to the north toward Michmash, and the other to the south toward Geba.
6 ULB Jônatas disse ao seu jovem escudeiro: "Venha, vamos atravessar o exército desses incircuncisos. Pode ser que Yahweh trabalhe a nosso favor, pois nada pode impedir Yahweh de salvar, com muitas ou com poucas pessoas. BSB BSB: Jonathan said to the young man bearing his armor, “Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
7 ULB Seu escudeiro respondeu: "Faze tudo quanto estiver em teu coração. Vá em frente, vê, eu estarei contigo, para obedecer a todas as tuas ordens". BSB BSB: His armor-bearer replied, “Do all that is in your heart. Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.”
8 ULB Então, Jônatas disse: "Nós atravessaremos até aqueles homens, e nos mostraremos a eles. BSB BSB: “Very well,” said Jonathan, “we will cross over toward these men and show ourselves to them.
9 ULB Se eles disserem: 'Esperem até que os alcancemos',- então ficaremos em nosso lugar e não atravessaremos até eles. BSB BSB: If they say, ‘Wait until we come to you,’ then we will stay where we are and will not go up to them.
10 ULB Mas, se eles responderem: 'Venham até nós', então os alcançaremos, porque Yahweh os entregou em nossas mãos. Este será o nosso sinal". BSB BSB: But if they say, ‘Come on up,’ then we will go up, because this will be our sign that the LORD has delivered them into our hands.”
11 ULB Então, os dois revelaram-se à tropa dos filisteus, que disseram: "Olhem, os hebreus estão saindo dos buracos onde haviam se escondido." BSB BSB: So the two of them showed themselves to the outpost of the Philistines, who exclaimed, “Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes in which they were hiding!”
12 ULB Então, os homens do exército disseram a Jônatas e a seu escudeiro: "Venham até nós, e lhes mostraremos algo". Jônatas disse ao seu escudeiro: "Segue-me, porque Yahweh os entregou nas mãos de Israel". BSB BSB: So the men of the outpost called out to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come on up, and we will teach you a lesson!” “Follow me,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
13 ULB Então, Jônatas subiu engatinhando, e seu escudeiro o seguiu. Os filisteus caíram mortos diante de Jônatas, e seu escudeiro os matava atrás deles. BSB BSB: So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. And the Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and finished them off.
14 ULB Neste primeiro ataque, Jônatas e seu escudeiro mataram cerca de vinte homens, dentro de meia jeira de terra. BSB BSB: In that first assault, Jonathan and his armor-bearer struck down about twenty men in about half an acre of land.
15 ULB Houve terror no acampamento, no campo e entre o povo. Até mesmo as tropas e os invasores estremeceram. A terra tremeu e houve grande desespero. BSB BSB: Then panic struck the Philistines in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even those in the outposts and raiding parties trembled. Indeed, the earth quaked, and panic spread from God.
16 ULB Os vigias de Saul em Gibeá de Benjamim olharam; a multidão de soldados filisteus estava se dispersando, e fugiam para lá e para cá. BSB BSB: Now when Saul’s watchmen at Gibeah in Benjamin looked and saw the troops melting away and scattering in every direction,
17 ULB Então, Saul disse ao povo que estava com ele: "Ora, contai e vede quem está faltando entre nós". Quando eles contaram, Jônatas e seu escudeiro não estavam ali. BSB BSB: Saul said to the troops who were with him, “Call the roll and see who has left us.” And when they had called the roll, they saw that Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.
18 ULB Saul disse a Aías: "traze a Arca de Deus aqui"- porque a Arca estava com o povo de Israel naqueles dias. BSB BSB: Then Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God.” (For at that time it was with the Israelites.)
19 ULB Enquanto Saul falava com o sacerdote, crescia cada vez mais o tumulto no acampamento filisteu. Então, Saul disse ao sacerdote: "Retire a tua mão". BSB BSB: While Saul was talking to the priest, the commotion in the Philistine camp continued to increase. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
20 ULB Saul e todo o povo que estava com ele reuniram-se e foram para a batalha. Cada espada dos filisteus estava contra seus próprios companheiros, e havia grande confusão. BSB BSB: Then Saul and all his troops assembled and marched to the battle, and they found the Philistines in total confusion, with each man wielding the sword against his neighbor.
21 ULB Os hebreus que, anteriormente, se juntaram aos filisteus, e que haviam ido com eles para o acampamento, uniram-se aos israelitas que estavam com Saul e Jônatas. BSB BSB: And the Hebrews who had previously gone up into the surrounding camps to join the Philistines now went over to the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 ULB Quando todos os homens de Israel, que haviam se escondido nas montanhas próximas a Efraim, ouviram que os filisteus estavam fugindo, eles também os perseguiram em batalha. BSB BSB: When all the Israelites who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were fleeing, they also joined the battle in close pursuit.
23 ULB Então, Yahweh livrou Israel naquele dia, e a batalha passou além de Bete-Áven. BSB BSB: So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle moved on beyond Beth-aven.
24 ULB Naquele dia, os homens de Israel estavam angustiados, porque Saul havia colocado o povo sob juramento e dito: "Maldito seja aquele que comer qualquer comida antes do anoitecer e até que eu me vingue dos meus inimigos". Por isso, nenhum dos soldados se alimentou. BSB BSB: Now the men of Israel were in distress that day, for Saul had placed the troops under an oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food before evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the troops tasted any food.
25 ULB Então, todo o povo chegou a uma floresta onde havia mel no chão. BSB BSB: Then all the troops entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.
26 ULB Quando o povo entrou na floresta, o mel escorria, mas ninguém o tocou nem o levou à boca, porque temiam o juramento. BSB BSB: And when they entered the forest and saw the flowing honey, not one of them put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.
27 ULB Mas, Jônatas não havia ouvido que seu pai colocara o povo sob juramento. Ele estendeu a ponta da vara que estava em sua mão e a mergulhou no favo de mel. Ele levou a mão à boca, e seus olhos brilharam. BSB BSB: Jonathan, however, had not heard that his father had bound the people with the oath. So he reached out the end of the staff in his hand, dipped it into the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
28 ULB Então, alguém do povo respondeu:" Seu pai jurou o povo rigorosamente, dizendo: 'Maldito seja o homem que comer comida neste dia', embora o povo estivesse fraco de fome". BSB BSB: Then one of the soldiers told him, “Your father bound the troops with a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’ That is why the people are faint.”
29 ULB Então, Jônatas disse: "Meu pai trouxe perturbação sobre a terra. Veja como meus olhos tornaram-se brilhantes, porque eu provei um pouco deste mel. BSB BSB: “My father has brought trouble to the land,” Jonathan replied. “Just look at how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
30 ULB Quão bem faria ao povo, se tivesse comido hoje dos despojos achados dos seus inimigos? Por essa razão, o massacre não foi maior entre os filisteus". BSB BSB: How much better it would have been if the troops had eaten freely today from the plunder they took from their enemies! Would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been much greater?”
31 ULB Eles atacaram os filisteus naquele dia desde Micmás até Aijalom. O exército estava exausto. BSB BSB: That day, after the Israelites had struck down the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, the people were very faint.
32 ULB O povo avançou vorazmente sobre os despojos e pegaram ovelhas, bois e bezerros, e os mataram no chão, e os comeram com sangue. BSB BSB: So they rushed greedily to the plunder, taking sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them on the ground and ate meat with the blood still in it.
33 ULB Então, disseram a Saul: "Veja, o exército está pecando contra Yahweh ao comer com sangue. "Saul disse: "Vós agistes de maneira infiel. Agora, trazei-me uma grande pedra. BSB BSB: Then someone reported to Saul: “Look, the troops are sinning against the LORD by eating meat with the blood still in it.” “You have broken faith,” said Saul. “Roll a large stone over here at once.”
34 ULB Saul disse: "Ide entre o povo, e dizei-lhe: 'deixe cada homem trazer seu boi e sua ovelha, matai-os aqui, e comei. Não pequeis contra Yahweh comendo-os com sangue". Assim, naquela noite, cada pessoa trouxe consigo seu próprio boi e o matou ali. BSB BSB: Then he said, “Go among the troops and tell them, ‘Each man must bring me his ox or his sheep, slaughter them in this place, and then eat. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with the blood still in it.’” So that night everyone brought his ox and slaughtered it there.
35 ULB Saul ergueu um altar a Yahweh, este foi o primeiro altar que edificou a Ele. BSB BSB: Then Saul built an altar to the LORD; it was the first time he had built an altar to the LORD.
36 ULB Então, Saul disse: "Desçamos e persigamos os filisteus à noite e os saqueemos até o amanhecer; não deixemos nenhum deles vivo". Eles responderam: "Faz o que lhe parecer melhor". Mas o sacerdote disse: "Busquemos a Deus aqui". BSB BSB: And Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until dawn, leaving no man alive!” “Do what seems good to you,” the troops replied. But the priest said, “We must consult God here.”
37 ULB Saul consultou a Deus, dizendo: "Descerei atrás dos filisteus? Tu os entregarás nas mãos de Israel?". Mas Deus não lhe respondeu naquele dia. BSB BSB: So Saul inquired of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?” But God did not answer him that day.
38 ULB Então, Saul disse: "Venham aqui, todos os líderes do povo; vejam e saibam como este pecado aconteceu hoje. BSB BSB: Therefore Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the troops, and let us investigate how this sin has occurred today.
39 ULB Porque, assim como Yahweh vive e salva Israel, mesmo sendo Jônatas meu filho, ele morrerá". Mas nenhum homem dentre o povo lhe respondeu. BSB BSB: As surely as the LORD who saves Israel lives, even if it is my son Jonathan, he must die!” But not one of the troops said a word.
40 ULB Ele disse a todo Israel: "Vós estareis de um lado, e eu e Jônatas, meu filho, estaremos do outro". E o povo disse a Saul: "Faz o que lhe parecer bom". BSB BSB: Then Saul said to all Israel, “You stand on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the other side.” “Do what seems good to you,” the troops replied.
41 ULB Por isso, Saul disse a Yahweh, o Deus de Israel: "mostra-nos a verdade". E a sorte caiu sobre Jônatas e Saul, e o povo escapou de ser escolhido. BSB BSB: So Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Why have You not answered Your servant this day? If the fault is with me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the fault is with the men of Israel, respond with Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected, but the people were cleared of the charge.
42 ULB Depois Saul disse: "Lançai sorte entre mim e meu filho, Jônatas". E a sorte caiu sobre Jônatas. BSB BSB: Then Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was selected.
43 ULB E Saul disse a Jônatas: "Dize-me o que fizeste". Jônatas lhe disse: "Eu provei um pouco de mel com a ponta da vara que estava em minha mão. Aqui estou eu. Eu morrerei". BSB BSB: “Tell me what you have done,” Saul commanded him. So Jonathan told him, “I only tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. And now I must die?”
44 ULB Saul disse: "Deus me castigue e ainda mais, se tu não morreres, Jônatas." BSB BSB: And Saul declared, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if you, Jonathan, do not surely die!”
45 ULB Então, o povo disse a Saul: "Deveria Jônatas morrer, ele que trouxe tamanha glória a Israel? Longe disso! Assim como Yahweh vive, que nenhum fio de seu cabelo caia no chão, pois ele trabalhou com Deus hoje". Então o povo resgatou Jônatas, e ele não morreu. BSB BSB: But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die—he who accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for with God’s help he has accomplished this today.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
46 ULB E Saul parou de perseguir os filisteus, e eles foram para a sua terra. BSB BSB: Then Saul gave up his pursuit of the Philistines, and the Philistines returned to their own land.
47 ULB Quando Saul começou a reinar sobre Israel, ele lutou contra todos os seus inimigos de todos os lados. Lutou contra Moabe, os amonitas, Edom, os reis de Zobá e os filisteus. Onde quer que fosse, ele se impunha sobre eles e os vencia. BSB BSB: After Saul had assumed the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side—the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he routed them.
48 ULB Ele agiu com grande coragem e derrotou os amalequitas. Ele resgatou Israel das mãos daqueles que os saqueavam. BSB BSB: He fought valiantly and defeated the Amalekites, delivering Israel from the hands of its plunderers.
49 ULB Os filhos de Saul eram Jônatas, Isvi e Malquisua. Os nomes de suas duas filhas eram: Merabe, a mais velha, e Mical, a mais nova. BSB BSB: Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. His two daughters were named Merab (his firstborn) and Michal (his younger daughter).
50 ULB O nome da esposa de Saul era Ainoã, filha de Aimaás. O nome do comandante de seu exército era Abner, filho de Ner, tio de Saul. BSB BSB: His wife’s name was Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abner, the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
51 ULB Quis era o pai de Saul; e Ner, pai de Abner, era filho de Abiel. BSB BSB: Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were sons of Abiel.
52 ULB Houve guerra intensa contra os filisteus, durante os dias do reinado de Saul. Quando Saul via um homem forte e valente, ele o juntava ao seu exército. BSB BSB: And the war with the Philistines was fierce for all the days of Saul. So whenever he noticed any strong or brave man, Saul would enlist him.
