1 Samuel 25

1 And Samuel died. And all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

E faleceu Samuel, e todo o Israel se ajuntou, e o prantearam, e o sepultaram na sua casa, em Rama. E David, se levantou e desceu ao deserto de Paran.

2 And there was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel. And the man was very great in goods, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

E havia um homem em Maon, que tinha as suas possessões no Carmelo: e era este homem mui poderoso, e tinha três mil ovelhas e mil cabras: e estava tosquiando as suas ovelhas no Carmelo.

3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance, but the man was churlish and evil in his doings, and he was of the house of Caleb.

E era o nome deste homem Nabal, e o nome de sua mulher Abigail; e era a mulher de bom entendimento e formosa, porém o homem era duro, e maligno nas obras, e era da casa de Caleb.

4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

E ouviu David no deserto que Nabal tosquiava as suas ovelhas,

5 And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

E enviou David dez mancebos, e disse aos mancebos: Subi ao Carmelo, e, vindo a Nabal, perguntai-lhe, em meu nome, como está.

6 And thus ye shall say to him who lives in prosperity, Peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou have.

E assim direis àquele próspero: Paz tenhas, e que a tua casa tenha paz, e tudo o que tens tenha paz!

7 And now I have heard that thou have shearers. Thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there anything missing to them all the while they were in Carmel.

Agora, pois, tenho ouvido que tens tosquiadores: ora os pastores que tens estiveram conosco; agravo nenhum lhes fizemos, nem coisa alguma lhes faltou todos os dias que estiveram no Carmelo.

8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes, for we come in a good day. Give, I pray thee, whatever comes to thy hand to thy servants, and to thy son David.

Pergunta-o aos teus mancebos, e eles to dirão; estes mancebos pois achem graça em teus olhos, porque viemos em bom dia: dá pois a teus servos e a David, teu filho, o que achares à mão

9 And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

Chegando pois os mancebos de David, e falando a Nabal todas aquelas palavras em nome de David, se calaram.

10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants now-a-days who break away every man from his master.

E Nabal respondeu aos criados de David, e disse: Quem é David, e quem o filho de Jessé? muitos servos há hoje, que cada um foge a seu senhor.

11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men of whom I know not from where they are?

Tomaria eu pois o meu pão, e a minha água, e a carne das minhas rezes que degolei para os meus tosquiadores, e o daria a homens que eu não sei de onde veem?

12 So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

Então os mancebos de David se tornaram para o seu caminho: e voltaram, e vieram, e lhe anunciaram tudo conforme a todas estas palavras.

13 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And there went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred abode by the baggage.

Pelo que disse David aos seus homens: Cada um cinja a sua espada. E cada um cingiu a sua espada, e cingiu também David a sua: e subiram após David uns quatrocentos homens, e duzentos ficaram com a bagagem.

14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master, and he railed at them.

Porém um dentre os mancebos o anunciou a Abigail, mulher de Nabal, dizendo: Eis que David enviou mensageiros desde o deserto a saudar o nosso amo; porém ele se lançou a eles.

15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither did we miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.

Todavia, aqueles homens teem-nos sido muito bons, e nunca fomos agravados deles, e nada nos faltou em todos os dias que conversamos com eles quando estávamos no campo.

16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

De muro em redor nos serviram, assim de dia como de noite, todos os dias que andamos com eles apascentando as ovelhas.

17 Now therefore know and consider what thou will do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house. For he is such a worthless fellow that a man cannot speak to him.

Olha pois, agora, e vê o que as de fazer, porque já de todo determinado está o mal contra o nosso amo e contra toda a sua casa, e ele é um tal filho de Belial, que não há quem lhe possa falar.

18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

Então Abigail se apressou, e tomou duzentos pães, e dois odres de vinho, e cinco ovelhas guisadas, e cinco medidas de trigo tostado, e cem cachos de passas, e duzentas pastas de figos passados, e os pôs sobre jumentos.

19 And she said to her young men, Go on before me, behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

E disse aos seus mancebos: Ide adiante de mim, eis que vos seguirei de perto. O que, porém, não declarou a seu marido Nabal.

20 And it was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.

E sucedeu que, andando ela montada num jumento, desceu pelo encoberto do monte, e eis que David e os seus homens lhe vinham ao encontro, e encontrou-se com eles.

21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him, and he has returned me evil for good.

E disse David: Na verdade que em vão tenho guardado tudo quanto este tem no deserto, e nada lhe faltou de tudo quanto tem, e ele me pagou mal por bem.

22 God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertains to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.

Assim faça Deus aos inimigos de David, e outro tanto, se eu deixar até à manhã de tudo o que tem, mesmo até um menino.

23 And when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

Vendo pois Abigail a David, apressou-se, e desceu do jumento, e prostrou-se sobre o seu rosto diante de David, e se inclinou à terra.

24 And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity, and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

E lançou-se a seus pés, e disse: Ah, Senhor meu, minha seja a transgressão; deixa pois falar a tua serva aos teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras da tua serva.

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord whom thou sent.

Meu senhor, agora não faça este homem de Belial, a saber, Nabal, impressão no seu coração, porque tal é ele qual é o seu nome. Nabal é o seu nome, e a loucura está com ele, e eu, tua serva, não vi os mancebos de meu senhor, que enviaste.

26 Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, since Jehovah has withheld thee from blood guiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Agora, pois, meu senhor, vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que o Senhor te impediu de vires com sangue, e de que a tua mão te salvasse: e, agora, tais quais Nabal sejam os teus inimigos e os que procuram mal contra o meu senhor.

27 And now this present which thy servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

E agora esta é a benção que trouxe a tua serva a meu senhor: dê-se aos mancebos que andam após das pisadas de meu senhor.

28 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid. For Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.

Perdôa pois à tua serva esta transgressão, porque certamente fará o Senhor casa firme a meu senhor, porque meu senhor guerreia as guerras do Senhor, e não se tem achado mal em ti por todos os teus dias

29 And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God. And the souls of thine enemies, them he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

E, levantando-se algum homem para te perseguir, e para procurar a tua morte; contudo a vida de meu senhor será atada no feixe dos que vivem com o Senhor teu Deus; porém a vida de teus inimigos se arrojará ao longe, como do meio do côncavo de uma funda.

30 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,

E há de ser que, usando o Senhor com o meu senhor conforme a todo o bem que já tem dito de ti, e te tiver estabelecido chefe sobre Israel,

31 that this shall be no grief to thee, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that thou have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

Então, meu senhor, não te será por tropeço, nem por pesar no coração, o sangue que sem causa derramaste, nem tão pouco o haver-se salvado meu senhor a si mesmo: e quando o Senhor fizer bem a meu senhor, lembra-te então da tua serva.

32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me,

Então David disse a Abigail: bendito o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje te enviou ao meu encontro.

33 and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, who have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

E bendito o teu conselho, e bendita tu, que hoje me estorvaste de vir com sangue, e de que a minha mão me salvasse.

34 For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting thee, unless thou had hastened and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.

Porque, na verdade, vive o Senhor Deus de Israel, que me impediu de que te fizesse mal, que se tu não te apressaras, e me não vieras ao encontro, não ficaria a Nabal pela luz da manhã nem mesmo um menino.

35 So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. And he said to her, Go up in peace to thy house. See, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

Então David tomou da sua mão o que tinha trazido, e lhe disse: Sobe em paz à tua casa; vês aqui que tenho dado ouvidos à tua voz, e tenho aceitado a tua face

36 And Abigail came to Nabal, and, behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

E, vindo Abigail a Nabal, eis que tinha em sua casa um banquete, como banquete de rei; e o coração de Nabal estava alegre nele, e ele já mui embriagado, pelo que não lhe deu a entender palavra alguma, pequena nem grande, até à luz da manhã

37 And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

Sucedeu pois que pela manhã, havendo já saído de Nabal o vinho, sua mulher lhe deu a entender aquelas palavras: e se amorteceu nele, o seu coração, e ficou ele como pedra.

38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, so that he died.

E aconteceu que, passados quase dez dias, feriu o Senhor a Nabal, e este morreu.

39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil, and the evil-doing of Nabal Jehovah has returned upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

E, ouvindo David que Nabal morrera, disse: bendito seja o Senhor, que pleiteou o pleito da minha afronta da mão de Nabal, e deteve a seu servo do mal, fazendo o Senhor tornar o mal de Nabal sobre a sua cabeça. E mandou David falar a Abigail, para toma-la por sua mulher.

40 And when the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee to him to wife.

Vindo pois os criados de David a Abigail, no Carmelo, lhe falaram, dizendo: David nos tem mandado a ti, para te tomar por sua mulher.

41 And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

Então ela se levantou, e se inclinou com o rosto em terra, e disse: Eis aqui a tua serva servirá de criada para lavar os pés dos criados de meu senhor.

42 And Abigail hastened, and arose, and rode upon a donkey, with five of her damsels who followed her. And she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

E Abigail se apressou, e se levantou, e montou num jumento com as suas cinco moças que seguiam as suas pisadas: e ela seguiu os mensageiros de David, e foi sua mulher.

43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they became his wives, both of them.

Também tomou David a Achinoam de Jizreel: e também ambas foram suas mulheres.

44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

Porque Saul tinha dado sua filha Michal, mulher de David, a Phalti, filho de Lais, o qual era de Gallim.
