1 Samuel 4
The Book of Mormon (BOM) vs VC
1 NOW it came to pass in the *sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, there were no contentions nor wars in the land of Zarahemla;
1 A palavra de Samuel foi dirigida a todo o Israel. Israel saiu ao encontro dos filisteus para combatê-los. Acamparam junto de Eben-Ezer, enquanto os filisteus acampavam em Afec.
2 But the people were afflicted, yea, greatly afflicted for the loss of their brethren, and also for the loss of their flocks and herds, and also for the loss of their fields of grain, which were trodden under foot and destroyed by the Lamanites.
2 Os inimigos puseram-se em linha de batalha diante de Israel e começou o combate. Israel voltou as costas aos filisteus, e foram mortos naquele combate cerca de quatro mil homens.
3 And so great were their afflictions that every soul had cause to mourn; and they believed that it was the judgments of God sent upon them because of their wickedness and their abominations; therefore they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty.
3 O povo voltou ao acampamento e os anciãos de Israel disseram: Por que nos deixou o Senhor sermos batidos hoje pelos filisteus? Vamos a Silo e tomemos a arca da aliança do Senhor, para que ela esteja no meio de nós e nos livre da mão de nossos inimigos.
4 And they began to establish the church more fully; yea, and many were baptized in the waters of Sidon and were joined to the church of God; yea, they were baptized by the hand of Alma, who had been consecrated the high priest over the people of the church, by the hand of his father Alma.
4 O povo mandou, pois, buscar em Silo a arca da aliança do Senhor dos exércitos, que se senta sobre querubins. Os dois filhos de Heli, Ofni e Finéias, acompanhavam a arca da aliança de Deus.
5 And it came to pass in the *seventh year of the reign of the judges there were about three thousand five hundred souls that united themselves to the church of God and were baptized. And thus ended the seventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi; and there was continual peace in all that time.
5 Quando a arca do Senhor entrou no acampamento, todo o Israel rompeu num grande clamor, que fez tremer a terra.
6 And it came to pass in the *eighth year of the reign of the judges, that the people of the church began to wax proud, because of their exceeding riches, and their fine silks, and their fine-twined linen, and because of their many flocks and herds, and their gold and their silver, and all manner of precious things, which they had obtained by their industry; and in all these things were they lifted up in the pride of their eyes, for they began to wear very costly apparel.
6 Os filisteus, ouvindo-o, disseram: Que significa esse grande clamor no acampamento dos hebreus? E souberam que a arca do Senhor tinha chegado ao acampamento.
7 Now this was the cause of much affliction to Alma, yea, and to many of the people whom Alma had consecrated to be teachers, and priests, and elders over the church; yea, many of them were sorely grieved for the wickedness which they saw had begun to be among their people.
7 Então tiveram medo e disseram: Deus chegou ao acampamento. Ai de nós! Até agora nunca se viu coisa semelhante!
8 For they saw and beheld with great sorrow that the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world, that they began to be scornful, one towards another, and they began to persecute those that did not believe according to their own will and pleasure.
8 Ai de nós! Quem nos salvará da mão destes deuses poderosos? São eles que feriram os egípcios com toda a sorte de pragas no deserto.
9 And thus, in this eighth year of the reign of the judges, there began to be great contentions among the people of the church; yea, there were envyings, and strife, and malice, and persecutions, and pride, even to exceed the pride of those who did not belong to the church of God.
9 Coragem, ó filisteus! Portai-vos varonilmente, não suceda que sejais escravizados aos hebreus como eles o são a vós. Sede homens e combatei.
10 And thus ended the eighth year of the reign of the judges; and the wickedness of the church was a great stumbling-block to those who did not belong to the church; and thus the church began to fail in its progress.
10 Começaram a luta e Israel foi derrotado, fugindo cada um para a sua tenda. Houve um espantoso massacre, tendo caído de Israel trinta mil homens de pé.
11 And it came to pass in the *commencement of the ninth year, Alma saw the wickedness of the church, and he saw also that the example of the church began to lead those who were unbelievers on from one piece of iniquity to another, thus bringing on the destruction of the people.
11 A arca de Deus foi tomada e os dois filhos de Heli, Ofni e Finéias, pereceram.
12 Yea, he saw great inequality among the people, some lifting themselves up with their pride, despising others, turning their backs upon the needy and the naked and those who were hungry, and those who were athirst, and those who were sick and afflicted.
12 Um homem da tribo de Benjamim, tendo escapado à batalha, fugiu naquele mesmo dia para Silo. Trazia a roupa toda rasgada e a cabeça coberta de pó.
13 Now this was a great cause for lamentations among the people, while others were abasing themselves, succoring those who stood in need of their succor, such as imparting their substance to the poor and the needy, feeding the hungry, and suffering all manner of afflictions, for Christ's sake, who should come according to the spirit of prophecy;
13 Chegou no momento em que Heli se encontrava sentado numa cadeira, à beira do caminho, inquieto e temeroso pela arca de Deus. Entrando aquele homem na cidade, espalhou-se por toda a parte a noticia, e de toda a cidade elevou-se um grande clamor.
14 Looking forward to that day, thus retaining a remission of their sins; being filled with great joy because of the resurrection of the dead, according to the will and power and deliverance of Jesus Christ from the bands of death.
14 Heli, ouvindo-o, perguntou: Que clamor é este? Nesse momento chegava o homem para dar-lhe a notícia.
15 And now it came to pass that Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God, and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people, and seeing all their inequality, began to be very sorrowful; nevertheless the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.
15 {Heli tinha noventa e oito anos; seus olhos estavam parados e já não viam.}
16 And he selected a wise man who was among the elders of the church, and gave him power according to the voice of the people, that he might have power to enact laws according to the laws which had been given, and to put them in force according to the wickedness and the crimes of the people.
16 O homem disse-lhe: Venho do campo de batalha, de onde escapei hoje mesmo. Que aconteceu, meu filho?
17 Now this man's name was Nephihah, and he was appointed chief judge; and he sat in the judgment-seat to judge and to govern the people.
17 Israel, respondeu o mensageiro, fugiu diante dos filisteus; o povo sofreu uma grande derrota. Teus dois filhos, Ofni e Finéias, morreram, e a arca de Deus foi tomada.
18 Now Alma did not grant unto him the office of being high priest over the church, but he retained the office of high priest unto himself; but he delivered the judgment-seat unto Nephihah.
18 Ao ouvi-lo mencionar a arca de Deus, Heli caiu de sua cadeira para trás, do lado da porta {do templo}, fraturou o crânio e morreu, pois era um homem velho e pesado. Tinha sido juiz em Israel durante quarenta anos.
19 And this he did that he himself might go forth among his people, or among the people of Nephi, that he might preach the word of God unto them, to stir them up in remembrance of their duty, and that he might pull down, by the word of God, all the pride and craftiness and all the contentions which were among his people, seeing no way that he might reclaim them save it were in bearing down in pure testimony against them.
19 Sua nora, mulher de Finéias, estava grávida e próxima do parto. Tendo ouvido que a arca de Deus fora capturada, e que o seu sogro e seu marido tinham morrido, foi subitamente acometida pelas dores do parto e deu à luz.
20 And thus in the commencement of the ninth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, Alma delivered up the judgment-seat to Nephihah, and confined himself wholly to the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to the testimony of the word, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy.
20 E estando para expirar, disseram-lhe as mulheres que a cercavam: Não temas, pois nasceu-te um filho. Mas ela não respondeu, pois estava inconsciente.
21 — ausente —
21 Chamou o filho Icabod, porque, disse a ela, dissipou-se a glória de Israel, já que foi tomada a arca de Deus, e morreram o meu sogro e o meu marido.
22 — ausente —
22 Sim, disse ela, desapareceu a glória de Israel, foi tomada a arca de Deus.
