1 Samuel 7

1Então vieram os homens de Quiriate-Jearim, e levaram a arca do SENHOR, e a trouxeram à casa de Abinadabe, no outeiro; e consagraram a Eleazar, seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do SENHOR.

1And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

2E sucedeu que, desde aquele dia, a arca ficou em Quiriate-Jearim, e tantos dias se passaram que até chegaram vinte anos, e lamentava toda a casa de Israel pelo Senhor.

2And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

3Então falou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se com todo o vosso coração vos converterdes ao Senhor, tirai dentre vós os deuses estranhos e os astarotes, e preparai o vosso coração ao Senhor, e servi a ele só, e vos livrará da mão dos filisteus.

3And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, {then} put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

4Então os filhos de Israel tiraram dentre si aos baalins e aos astarotes, e serviram só ao Senhor.

4Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

5Disse mais Samuel: Congregai a todo o Israel em Mizpá; e orarei por vós ao Senhor.

5And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.

6E congregaram-se em Mizpá, e tiraram água, e a derramaram perante o Senhor, e jejuaram aquele dia, e disseram ali: Pecamos contra o Senhor. E julgava Samuel os filhos de Israel em Mizpá.

6And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured {it} out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

7Ouvindo, pois, os filisteus que os filhos de Israel estavam congregados em Mizpá, subiram os maiorais dos filisteus contra Israel; o que ouvindo os filhos de Israel, temeram por causa dos filisteus.

7And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard {it}, they were afraid of the Philistines.

8Por isso disseram os filhos de Israel a Samuel: Não cesses de clamar ao Senhor nosso Deus por nós, para que nos livre da mão dos filisteus.

8And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. {Cease...: Heb. Be not silent from us from crying}

9Então tomou Samuel um cordeiro de mama, e sacrificou-o inteiro em holocausto ao Senhor; e clamou Samuel ao Senhor por Israel, e o Senhor lhe deu ouvidos.

9And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered {it for} a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. {heard: or, answered}

10E sucedeu que, estando Samuel sacrificando o holocausto, os filisteus chegaram à peleja contra Israel; e trovejou o Senhor aquele dia com grande estrondo sobre os filisteus, e os confundiu de tal modo que foram derrotados diante dos filhos de Israel.

10And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

11E os homens de Israel saíram de Mizpá; e perseguiram os filisteus, e os feriram até abaixo de Bete-Car.

11And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until {they came} under Bethcar.

12Então tomou Samuel uma pedra, e a pôs entre Mizpá e Sem, e chamou-lhe Ebenézer; e disse: Até aqui nos ajudou o Senhor.

12Then Samuel took a stone, and set {it} between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. {Ebenezer: that is, The stone of help}

13Assim os filisteus foram abatidos, e nunca mais vieram aos termos de Israel, porquanto foi a mão do Senhor contra os filisteus todos os dias de Samuel.

13So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14E as cidades que os filisteus tinham tomado a Israel foram-lhe restituídas, desde Ecrom até Gate, e até os seus termos Israel arrebatou da mão dos filisteus; e houve paz entre Israel e entre os amorreus.

14And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15E Samuel julgou a Israel todos os dias da sua vida.

15And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16E ia de ano em ano, e rodeava a Betel, e a Gilgal, e a Mizpá, e julgava a Israel em todos aqueles lugares.

16And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places. {in circuit: Heb. and he circuited}

17Porém voltava a Ramá, porque estava ali a sua casa, e ali julgava a Israel; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor.

17And his return {was} to Ramah; for there {was} his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
