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

And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,

2 E os filisteus apertaram com Saul e seus filhos, e mataram a Jônatas, a Abinadabe e e a Malquisua, filhos de Saul.

and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.

3 A peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram, e o feriram gravemente.

And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him -- men with bow -- and he is pained greatly by the archers;

4 P elo que disse Saul ae seu escudeiro: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que porventura não venham esses incircuncisos, e me atravessem e escarneçam de mim. Mas o seu escudeiro não quis, porque temia muito. Então Saul tomou a espada, e se lançou sobre ela.

and Saul saith to the bearer of his weapons, `Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come -- these uncircumcised -- and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me;' and the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it.

5 V endo, pois, e seu escudeiro que Saul já era morto, também ele se lançou sobre a sua espada, e morreu com ele.

And the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul dead, and he falleth -- he also -- on his sword, and dieth with him;

6 A ssim morreram juntamente naquele dia Saul, seus três filhos, e seu escudeiro, e todos os seus homens.

and Saul dieth, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, on that day together.

7 Q uando os israelitas que estavam no outro lado do vale e os que estavam além de Jordão viram que os homens de Israel tinham fugido, e que Saul e seus filhos estavam mortos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram; e vieram os filisteus e habitaram nelas.

And they see -- the men of Israel, who beyond the valley, and who beyond the Jordan -- that the men of Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and dwell in them.

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

And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa,

9 E ntão cortaram a cabeça a Saul e o despejaram das suas armas; e enviaram pela terra dos filisteus, em redor, a anunciá-lo no templo dos seus ídolos e entre e povo,

and they cut off his head, and strip off his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim tidings the house of their idols, and the people;

10 P useram as armas de Saul no templo de Astarote; e penduraram o seu corpo no muro de Bete-Sã.

and they place his weapons the house of Ashtaroth, and his body they have fixed on the wall of Beth-Shan.

11 Q uando os moradores de Jabes-Gileade ouviram isso a respeito de Saul, isto é, o que os filisteus lhe tinham feito,

And they hear regarding it -- the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead -- that which the Philistines have done to Saul,

12 t odos os homens valorosos se levantaram e, caminhando a noite toda, tiraram e corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Bete-Sã; e voltando a Jabes, ali os queimaram.

and all the men of valour arise, and go all the night, and take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Beth-Shan, and come in to Jabesh, and burn them there,

13 D epois tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo da tamargueira, em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.

and they take their bones, and bury under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
