1 O ra, os filisteus pelejaram contra Israel; e os homens de Israel, fugindo de diante dos filisteus, caíram mortos no monte Gilboa.

Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

2 O s filisteus perseguiram a Saul e seus filhos, e mataram Jônatas, Abinadabe e Malquisua, filhos de Saul.

The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.

3 A peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram, e ele foi ferido pelos flecheiros.

The battle became heavy against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was wounded by the archers.

4 E ntão disse Saul: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que que não venham estes incircuncisos e escarneçam de mim. Mas o seu escudeiro não quis, porque temia muito; então tomou Saul a sua espada, e se lançou sobre ela.

Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.

5 V endo, pois, o seu escudeiro que Saul estava morto, lançou-se também sobre sua espada, e morreu.

When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.

6 A ssim morreram Saul e seus três filhos; morreu toda a sua casa juntamente.

Thus Saul died with his three sons, and all those of his house died together.

7 Q uando todos os homens de Israel que estavam no vale viram que Israel havia fugido, e que Saul eram mortos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram, e vindo os filisteus, habitaram nelas.

When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.

8 N o dia seguinte, quando os filisteus vieram para despojar os mortos acharam Saul e seus filhos estirados no monte Gilboa.

It came about the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

9 E ntão o despojaram, tomaram a sua cabeça e as suas armas, e enviaram mensageiros pela terra dos filisteus em redor, para levarem a boa nova a seus ídolos e ao povo.

So they stripped him and took his head and his armor and sent messengers around the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people.

10 P useram as armas dele na casa de seus deuses, e pregaram-lhe a cabeça na casa de Dagom.

They put his armor in the house of their gods and fastened his head in the house of Dagon. Jabesh-gilead’s Tribute to Saul

11 Q uando, pois, toda a Jabes-Gileade ouviu tudo quanto os filisteus haviam feito a Saul,

When all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 t odos os homens valentes se levantaram e, tomando o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos, trouxeram-nos: a Jabes; e sepultaram os seus ossos debaixo o terebinto em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.

all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh, and they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

13 A ssim morreu Saul por causa da sua infidelidade para com o Senhor, porque não havia guardado a palavra do Senhor; e também porque buscou a adivinhadora para a consultar,

So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,

14 e não buscou ao Senhor; pelo que ele o matou, e transferiu o reino a Davi, filho de Jessé.

and did not inquire of the Lord. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
