< 1 Samuel 30 >

1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
Succedeu pois que, chegando David e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Siclag, já os amalekitas com impeto tinham dado sobre o sul, e sobre Siclag, e tinham ferido a Siclag e a tinham queimado a fogo.
2 And had taken the women captives, that [were] therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way.
E as mulheres que estavam n'ella levaram captivas, porém a ninguem mataram, nem pequenos nem grandes; tão sómente os levaram comsigo, e foram pelo seu caminho.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
E David e os seus homens vieram á cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas eram levados captivos.
4 Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Então David e o povo que se achava com elle alçaram a sua voz, e choraram, até que n'elles não houve mais força para chorar.
5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Tambem as duas mulheres de David foram levadas captivas; Achinoam, a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
E David muito se angustiou, porque o povo fallava de apedrejal-o, porque o animo de todo o povo estava em amargura, cada um por causa dos seus filhos e das suas filhas: todavia David se esforçou no Senhor seu Deus.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
E disse David a Abiathar, o sacerdote, filho de Achimelech: Traze-me, peço-te, aqui o ephod. E Abiathar trouxe o ephod a David.
8 And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
Então consultou David ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? alcançal-a-hei? E o Senhor lhe disse: Persegue-a, porque decerto a alcançarás, e tudo libertarás.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
Partiu pois David, elle e os seiscentos homens que com elle se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde os que ficaram atraz pararam.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
E seguiu-os David, elle e os quatrocentos homens, pois que duzentos homens ficaram, por não poderem, de cançados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
E acharam no campo um homem egypcio, e o trouxeram a David: deram-lhe pão, e comeu, e deram-lhe a beber agua.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk [any] water, three days and three nights.
Deram-lhe tambem um pedaço de massa de figos seccos e dois cachos de passas, e comeu, e voltou-lhe o seu espirito, porque havia tres dias e tres noites que não tinha comido pão nem bebido agua.
13 And David said unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
Então David lhe disse: De quem és tu, e d'onde és? E disse o moço egypcio: Sou servo d'um homem amalekita, e meu senhor me deixou, porque adoeci ha tres dias.
14 We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Nós démos com impeto para a banda do sul dos cherethitas, e para a banda de Judah, e para a banda do sul de Caleb, e pozemos fogo a Siclag.
15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
E disse-lhe David: Poderias, descendo, guiar-me a essa tropa? E disse-lhe: Por Deus me jura que me não matarás, nem me entregarás na mão de meu senhor, e, descendo, te guiare a essa tropa.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
E, descendo, o guiou e eis que estavam espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra, comendo, e bebendo, e dançando, por todo aquelle grande despojo que tomaram da terra dos philisteos e da terra de Judah.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
E feriu-os David, desde o crepusculo até á tarde do dia seguinte, e nenhum d'elles escapou, senão só quatrocentos mancebos que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
Assim livrou David tudo quanto tomaram aos amalekitas: tambem as suas duas mulheres livrou David.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
E ninguem lhes faltou, desde o menor até ao maior, e até os filhos e as filhas; e tambem desde o despojo até tudo quanto lhes tinham tomado, tudo David tornou a trazer.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David’s spoil.
Tambem tomou David todas as ovelhas e vaccas, e levavam-n'as diante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de David.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
E, chegando David aos duzentos homens que, de cançados que estavam, não poderam seguir a David, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes sairam ao encontro de David e do povo que com elle vinha: e, chegando-se David ao povo, os saudou em paz.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
Então todos os maus, e filhos de Belial, d'entre os homens que tinham ido com David, responderam, e disseram: Visto que não foram comnosco, não lhes daremos do despojo que libertámos; mas que leve cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, e se vá.
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
Porém David disse: Não fareis assim, irmãos meus, com o que nos deu o Senhor, que nos guardou, e entregou a tropa que contra nós vinha nas nossas mãos.
24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
E quem a tal vos daria ouvidos? porque qual é a parte dos que desceram á peleja, tal tambem será a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; egualmente repartirão.
25 And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
O que assim foi desde aquelle dia em diante, porquanto o poz por estatuto e direito em Israel até ao dia de hoje.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
E, chegando David a Siclag, enviou do despojo aos anciãos de Judah, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis ahi para vós uma benção do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor;
27 To [ them] which [were] in Beth-el, and to [them] which [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] which [were] in Jattir,
Aos de Beth-el, e aos de Ramoth do sul, e aos de Jatter,
28 And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa,
E aos d'Aroer, e aos de Siphmoth, e aos d'Esthemoa,
29 And to [them] which [were] in Rachal, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Kenites,
E aos de Rachal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerahmeelitas e nas cidades dos keneos,
30 And to [them] which [were] in Hormah, and to [them] which [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] which [were] in Athach,
E aos d'Horma, e aos de Corasan, e aos d'Athak,
31 And to [them] which [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
E aos d'Hebron, e a todos os logares em que andara David, elle e os seus homens.
