1 O ra, saiu Israel ã batalha contra os filisteus, e acampou-se perto de Ebenézer; e os filisteus se acamparam junto a Afeque.

And what Samuel had said happened to all Israel. And Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

2 E os filisteus se dispuseram em ordem de batalha contra Israel; e, travada a peleja, Israel foi ferido diante dos filisteus, que mataram no campo cerca de quatro mil homens do exército.

And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and the battle spread, and Israel was routed before the Philistines; and they slew in battle array in the field about four thousand men.

3 Q uando o povo voltou ao arraial, disseram os anciãos de Israel: Por que nos feriu o Senhor hoje diante dos filisteus? Tragamos para nós de Siló a arca do pacto do Senhor, para que ela venha para o meio de nós, e nos livre da mão de nossos inimigos.

And the people came into the camp; and the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch ourselves the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.

4 E nviou, pois, o povo a Siló, e trouxeram de lá a arca do pacto do Senhor dos exércitos, que se assenta sobre os querubins; e os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Finéias, estavam ali com a arca do pacto de Deus.

So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sitteth between the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there by the ark of the covenant of God.

5 Q uando a arca do pacto do Senhor chegou ao arraial, prorrompeu todo o Israel em grandes gritos, de modo que a terra vibrou.

And it came to pass when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, that all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth shook.

6 E os filisteus, ouvindo o som da gritaria, disseram: Que quer dizer esta grande vozearia no arraial dos hebreus? Quando souberam que a arca do Senhor havia chegado ao arraial,

And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and said, What is the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp.

7 o s filisteus se atemorizaram; e diziam: Os deuses vieram ao arraial. Diziam mais: Ai de nós! porque nunca antes sucedeu tal coisa.

And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore.

8 A i de nós! quem nos livrará da mão destes deuses possantes? Estes são os deuses que feriram aos egípcios com toda sorte de pragas no deserto.

Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.

9 E sforçai-vos, e portai-vos varonilmente, ó filisteus, para que porventura não venhais a ser escravos dos hebreus, como eles o foram vossos; portai-vos varonilmente e pelejai.

Shew yourselves valiant and be men, ye Philistines, that ye may not have to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: be men, and fight.

10 E ntão pelejaram os filisteus, e Israel foi derrotado, fugindo cada um para a sua tenda; e houve mui grande matança, pois caíram de Israel trinta mil homens de infantaria.

And the Philistines fought, and Israel was routed, and they fled every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

11 T ambém foi tomada a arca de Deus, e os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Finéias, foram mortos.

And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.

12 E ntão um homem de Benjamim, correndo do campo de batalha chegou no mesmo dia a Siló, com as vestes rasgadas e terra sobre a cabeça.

And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the battle, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent and with earth upon his head.

13 A o chegar ele, estava Eli sentado numa cadeira ao pé do caminho vigiando, porquanto o seu coração estava tremendo pela arca de Deus. E quando aquele homem chegou e anunciou isto na cidade, a cidade toda prorrompeu em lamentações.

And when he came, behold, Eli was sitting upon the seat by the way-side watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.

14 E Eli, ouvindo a voz do lamento, perguntou: Que quer dizer este alvoroço? Então o homem, apressando-se, chegou e o anunciou a Eli.

And Eli heard the noise of the crying, and said, What is the noise of this tumult? And the man came hastily, and told Eli.

15 O ra, Eli tinha noventa e oito anos; e os seus olhos haviam cegado, de modo que já não podia ver.

Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see.

16 E disse aquele homem a Eli: Estou vindo do campo de batalha, donde fugi hoje mesmo. Perguntou Eli: Que foi que sucedeu, meu filho?

And the man said to Eli, I am he that came out of the battle, and I have fled to-day out of the battle. And he said, What has taken place, my son?

17 E ntão respondeu o que trazia as novas, e disse: Israel fugiu de diante dos filisteus, e houve grande matança entre o povo; além disto, também teus dois filhos, Hofni e Finéias, são mortos, e a arca de Deus é tomada.

And the messenger answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

18 Q uando ele fez menção da arca de Deus, Eli caiu da cadeira para trás, junto ã porta, e quebrou-se-lhe o pescoço, e morreu, porquanto era homem velho e pesado. Ele tinha julgado a Israel quarenta anos.

And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

19 E estando sua nora, a mulher de Finéias, grávida e próxima ao parto, e ouvindo estas novas, de que a arca de Deus era tomada, e de que seu sogro e seu marido eram mortos, encurvou-se e deu ã luz, porquanto as dores lhe sobrevieram.

And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered; and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.

20 E , na hora em que ia morrendo, disseram as mulheres que estavam com ela: Não temas, pois tiveste um filho. Ela, porém, não respondeu, nem deu atenção a isto.

And as she was dying, the women that stood by her said, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she did not answer, neither did she take it to heart.

21 E chamou ao menino de Icabô, dizendo: De Israel se foi a glória! Porque fora tomada a arca de Deus, e por causa de seu sogro e de seu marido.

And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

22 E disse: De Israel se foi a glória, pois é tomada a arca de Deus.

And she said, The glory is departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.
