New International Version NIV
1 Os homens de Quiriate-Jearim vieram para levar a arca do SENHOR. Eles a levaram para a casa de Abinadabe, na colina, e consagraram seu filho Eleazar para guardar a arca do SENHOR.
1
So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD. They brought it to Abinadab’s house on the hill and consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of the LORD.
2 A arca permaneceu em Quiriate-Jearim muito tempo; foram vinte anos. E todo o povo de Israel buscava o SENHOR com súplicas.
2
The ark remained at Kiriath Jearim a long time—twenty years in all. Then all the people of Israel turned back to the LORD.
3 E Samuel disse a toda a nação de Israel: “Se vocês querem voltar-se para o SENHOR de todo o coração, livrem-se então dos deuses estrangeiros e das imagens de Astarote, consagrem-se ao SENHOR e prestem culto somente a ele, e ele os libertará das mãos dos filisteus”.
3
So Samuel said to all the Israelites, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths and commit yourselves to the LORD and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
4 Assim, os israelitas se livraram dos baalins e dos postes sagrados e começaram a prestar culto somente ao SENHOR.
4
So the Israelites put away their Baals and Ashtoreths, and served the LORD only.
5 E Samuel prosseguiu: “Reúnam todo o Israel em Mispá, e eu intercederei ao SENHOR a favor de vocês”.
5
Then Samuel said, “Assemble all Israel at Mizpah, and I will intercede with the LORD for you.”
6 Quando eles se reuniram em Mispá, tiraram água e a derramaram perante o SENHOR. Naquele dia jejuaram e ali disseram: “Temos pecado contra o SENHOR”. E foi em Mispá que Samuel liderou os israelitas como juiz.
6
When they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. On that day they fasted and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the LORD.” Now Samuel was serving as leader of Israel at Mizpah.
7 Quando os filisteus souberam que os israelitas estavam reunidos em Mispá, os governantes dos filisteus saíram para atacá-los. Quando os israelitas souberam disso, ficaram com medo.
7
When the Philistines heard that Israel had assembled at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines came up to attack them. When the Israelites heard of it, they were afraid because of the Philistines.
8 E disseram a Samuel: “Não pares de clamar por nós ao SENHOR, o nosso Deus, para que nos salve das mãos dos filisteus”.
8
They said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying out to the LORD our God for us, that he may rescue us from the hand of the Philistines.”
9 Então Samuel pegou um cordeiro ainda não desmamado e o ofereceu inteiro como holocausto ao SENHOR. Ele clamou ao SENHOR em favor de Israel, e o SENHOR lhe respondeu.
9
Then Samuel took a suckling lamb and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. He cried out to the LORD on Israel’s behalf, and the LORD answered him.
10 Enquanto Samuel oferecia o holocausto, os filisteus se aproximaram para combater Israel. Naquele dia, porém, o SENHOR trovejou com fortíssimo estrondo contra os filisteus e os colocou em pânico, e foram derrotados por Israel.
10
While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the LORD thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites.
11 Os soldados de Israel saíram de Mispá e perseguiram os filisteus até um lugar abaixo de Bete-Car, matando-os pelo caminho.
11
The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, slaughtering them along the way to a point below Beth Kar.
12 Então Samuel pegou uma pedra e a ergueu entre Mispá e Sem; e deu-lhe o nome de Ebenézer, dizendo: “Até aqui o SENHOR nos ajudou”.
12
Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”
13 Assim os filisteus foram dominados e não voltaram a invadir o território israelita.A mão do SENHOR esteve contra os filisteus durante toda a vida de Samuel.
13
So the Philistines were subdued and they stopped invading Israel’s territory. Throughout Samuel’s lifetime, the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines.
14 As cidades que os filisteus haviam conquistado foram devolvidas a Israel, desde Ecrom até Gate. Israel libertou os territórios ao redor delas do poder dos filisteus. E houve também paz entre Israel e os amorreus.
14
The towns from Ekron to Gath that the Philistines had captured from Israel were restored to Israel, and Israel delivered the neighboring territory from the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Samuel continuou como juiz de Israel durante todos os dias de sua vida.
15
Samuel continued as Israel’s leader all the days of his life.
16 A cada ano percorria Betel, Gilgal e Mispá, decidindo as questões de Israel em todos esses lugares.
16
From year to year he went on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah, judging Israel in all those places.
17 Mas sempre retornava a Ramá, onde ficava sua casa; ali ele liderava Israel como juiz e naquele lugar construiu um altar em honra ao SENHOR.
17
But he always went back to Ramah, where his home was, and there he also held court for Israel. And he built an altar there to the LORD.
