Nova Versão Internacional NVI-PT
New International Version NIV
24 Os homens de Israel estavam exaustos naquele dia, pois Saul lhes havia imposto um juramento, dizendo: “Maldito seja todo o que comer antes do anoitecer, antes que eu tenha me vingado de meus inimigos!” Por isso ninguém tinha comido nada.
24
Now the Israelites were in distress that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath, saying, “Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the troops tasted food.
25 O exército inteiro entrou num bosque, onde havia mel no chão.
25
The entire army entered the woods, and there was honey on the ground.
26 Eles viram o mel escorrendo, contudo ninguém comeu, pois temiam o juramento.
26
When they went into the woods, they saw the honey oozing out; yet no one put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.
27 Jônatas, porém, não sabia do juramento que seu pai havia imposto ao exército, de modo que estendeu a ponta da vara que tinha na mão e a molhou no favo de mel. Quando comeu, seus olhos brilharam.
27
But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people with the oath, so he reached out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
28 Então um dos soldados lhe disse: “Seu pai impôs ao exército um juramento severo, dizendo: ‘Maldito seja todo o que comer hoje!’ Por isso os homens estão exaustos”.
28
Then one of the soldiers told him, “Your father bound the army under a strict oath, saying, ‘Cursed be anyone who eats food today!’ That is why the men are faint.”
29 Jônatas disse: “Meu pai trouxe desgraça para nós. Veja como meus olhos brilham desde que provei um pouco deste mel.
29
Jonathan said, “My father has made trouble for the country. See how my eyes brightened when I tasted a little of this honey.
30 Como teria sido bem melhor se os homens tivessem comido hoje um pouco do que tomaram dos seus inimigos. A matança de filisteus não teria sido ainda maior?”
30
How much better it would have been if the men had eaten today some of the plunder they took from their enemies. Would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been even greater?”
31 Naquele dia, depois de derrotarem os filisteus, desde Micmás até Aijalom, os israelitas estavam completamente exaustos.
31
That day, after the Israelites had struck down the Philistines from Mikmash to Aijalon, they were exhausted.
32 Eles então se lançaram sobre os despojos e pegaram ovelhas, bois e bezerros; mataram-nos ali mesmo e comeram a carne com o sangue.
32
They pounced on the plunder and, taking sheep, cattle and calves, they butchered them on the ground and ate them, together with the blood.
33 E alguém disse a Saul: “Veja, os soldados estão pecando contra o SENHOR, comendo carne com sangue”.Ele disse: “Vocês foram infiéis. Rolem uma grande pedra até aqui.
33
Then someone said to Saul, “Look, the men are sinning against the LORD by eating meat that has blood in it.” “You have broken faith,” he said. “Roll a large stone over here at once.”
34 Saiam entre os soldados e digam-lhes: Cada um traga a mim seu boi ou sua ovelha, abatam-nos e comam a carne aqui. Não pequem contra o SENHOR comendo carne com sangue”.Assim, cada um levou seu boi naquela noite e ali o abateu.
34
Then he said, “Go out among the men and tell them, ‘Each of you bring me your cattle and sheep, and slaughter them here and eat them. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with blood still in it.’ ” So everyone brought his ox that night and slaughtered it there.
35 Então, Saul edificou um altar para o SENHOR; foi a primeira vez que fez isso.
35
Then Saul built an altar to the LORD; it was the first time he had done this.
36 Saul disse ainda: “Desçamos atrás dos filisteus à noite; vamos saqueá-los até o amanhecer e não deixemos vivo nem um só deles”.Eles responderam: “Faze o que achares melhor”.O sacerdote, porém, disse: “Consultemos aqui a Deus”.
36
Saul said, “Let us go down and pursue the Philistines by night and plunder them till dawn, and let us not leave one of them alive.” “Do whatever seems best to you,” they replied. But the priest said, “Let us inquire of God here.”
37 Então Saul perguntou a Deus: “Devo perseguir os filisteus? Tu os entregarás nas mãos de Israel?” Mas naquele dia Deus não lhe respondeu.
37
So Saul asked God, “Shall I go down and pursue the Philistines? Will you give them into Israel’s hand?” But God did not answer him that day.
38 Disse então Saul: “Venham cá, todos vocês que são líderes do exército, e descubramos que pecado foi cometido hoje.
38
Saul therefore said, “Come here, all you who are leaders of the army, and let us find out what sin has been committed today.
39 Juro pelo nome do SENHOR, o libertador de Israel; mesmo que seja meu filho Jônatas, ele morrerá”. Mas ninguém disse uma só palavra.
39
As surely as the LORD who rescues Israel lives, even if the guilt lies with my son Jonathan, he must die.” But not one of them said a word.
40 A seguir disse Saul a todos os israelitas: “Fiquem vocês de um lado; eu e meu filho Jônatas ficaremos do outro”.E eles responderam: “Faze o que achares melhor”.
40
Saul then said to all the Israelites, “You stand over there; I and Jonathan my son will stand over here.” “Do what seems best to you,” they replied.
41 E Saul orou ao SENHOR, ao Deus de Israel: “Dá-me a resposta certa”. A sorte caiu em Jônatas e Saul, e os soldados saíram livres.
41
Then Saul prayed to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the men of Israel are at fault, respond with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the men were cleared.
42 Saul disse: “Lancem sortes entre mim e meu filho Jônatas”. E Jônatas foi indicado.
42
Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
43 Então Saul disse a Jônatas: “Diga-me o que você fez”.E Jônatas lhe contou: “Eu provei um pouco de mel com a ponta de minha vara. Estou pronto para morrer”.
43
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” So Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey with the end of my staff. And now I must die!”
44 Saul disse: “Que Deus me castigue com todo rigor, caso você não morra, Jônatas!”
44
Saul said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not die, Jonathan.”
45 Os soldados, porém, disseram a Saul: “Será que Jônatas, que trouxe esta grande libertação para Israel, deve morrer? Nunca! Juramos pelo nome do SENHOR: Nem um só cabelo de sua cabeça cairá ao chão, pois o que ele fez hoje foi com o auxílio de Deus”. Então os homens resgataram Jônatas, e ele não foi morto.
45
But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.
46 E Saul parou de perseguir os filisteus, e eles voltaram para a sua própria terra.
46
Then Saul stopped pursuing the Philistines, and they withdrew to their own land.
47 Quando Saul assumiu o reinado sobre Israel, lutou contra os seus inimigos em redor: moabitas, amonitas, edomitas, os reis de Zobá e os filisteus. Para qualquer lado que fosse, infligia-lhes castigo.
47
After Saul had assumed rule over Israel, he fought against their enemies on every side: Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment on them.
48 Lutou corajosamente e derrotou os amalequitas, libertando Israel das mãos daqueles que os saqueavam.
48
He fought valiantly and defeated the Amalekites, delivering Israel from the hands of those who had plundered them.
