1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephesdammim.
E os philisteus ajuntaram os seus arraiais para a guerra e congregaram-se em Socoh, que está em Judá, e acamparam-se entre Socoh e Azeka, no termo de Dammim.
2 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Porém Saul e os homens de Israel se ajuntaram e acamparam no vale do carvalho, e ordenaram a batalha contra os philisteus.
3 The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
E os philisteus estavam num monte da banda de além, e os israelitas estavam no outro monte da banda de aquém; e o vale estava entre eles.
4 A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span went out.
Então saiu do arraial dos philisteus um homem guerreiro, cujo nome era Goliath, de Gath, que tinha de altura seis côvados e um palmo.
5 He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
Trazia na cabeça um capacete de bronze, e vestia uma couraça de escamas; e era o peso da couraça de cinco mil siclos de bronze.
6 He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders.
E trazia grevas de bronze por cima de seus pés, e um escudo de bronze entre os seus ombros.
7 The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went before him.
E a haste da sua lança era como o órgão do tecelão, e o ferro da sua lança de seiscentos siclos de ferro, e diante dele ia o escudeiro.
8 He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
E parou, e clamou às companhias de Israel, e disse-lhes: Para que saireis a ordenar a batalha? não sou eu philisteu e vós servos de Saul? escolhei dentre vós um homem que desça a mim.
9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”
Se ele puder pelejar comigo, e me ferir, a vós seremos por servos; porém, se eu o vencer, e o ferir, então a nós sereis por servos, e nos servireis.
10 The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”
Disse mais o philisteu: Hoje desafio as companhias de Israel, dizendo: dai-me um homem, para que ambos pelejemos.
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
Ouvindo então Saul e todo o Israel estas palavras do philisteu, espantaram-se, e temeram muito.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul.
E David era filho de um homem, ephrateo, de Beth-lehem de Judá, cujo nome era Jessé, que tinha oito filhos: e nos dias de Saul era este homem já velho e adiantado na idade entre os homens.
13 The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Foram-se os três filhos mais velhos de Jessé, e seguiram a Saul à guerra: e eram os nomes de seus três filhos, que se foram à guerra, Eliab, o primogênito, e o segundo Abinadab, e o terceiro Samma.
14 David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul.
E David era o menor; e os três maiores seguiram a Saul.
15 Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
David porém foi-se e voltou de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pai em Beth-lehem.
16 The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Chegava-se pois o philisteu pela manhã e à tarde; e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.
17 Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;
E disse Jessé a David, seu filho: Toma, peço-te, para teus irmãos um epha deste grão tostado e estes dez pães, e corre a leva-los ao arraial, a teus irmãos.
18 and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand; and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”
Porém estes dez queijos de leite leva ao chefe de mil; e visitarás a teus irmãos, a ver se lhes vai bem; e tomarás o seu penhor.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
E estavam Saul, e eles, e todos os homens de Israel no vale do carvalho, pelejando com os philisteus.
20 David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.
David então de madrugada se levantou pela manhã, e deixou as ovelhas a um guarda, e carregou-se, e partiu, como Jessé lhe ordenara: e chegou ao lugar dos carros, quando já o arraial saía em ordem de batalha, e a gritos chamavam à peleja.
21 Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
E os israelitas e philisteus se puseram em ordem, fileira contra fileira.
22 David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
E David deixou a carga que trouxera na mão do guarda da bagagem, e correu à batalha; e, chegando, perguntou a seus irmãos se estavam bem.
23 As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.
E, estando ele ainda falando com eles, eis que vinha subindo do exército dos philisteus o homem guerreiro, cujo nome era Goliath, o philisteu de Gath e falou conforme àquelas palavras, e David as ouviu.
24 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were terrified.
Porém todos os homens em Israel, vendo aquele homem, fugiam de diante dele e temiam grandemente.
25 The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house tax-free in Israel.”
E diziam os homens de Israel: Vistes aquele homem que subiu? pois subiu para afrontar a Israel: há de ser pois que o homem que o ferir o rei o enriquecerá de grandes riquezas, e lhe dará a sua filha, e fará franca a casa de seu pai em Israel.
26 David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
Então falou David aos homens que estavam com ele, dizendo: Que farão àquele homem que ferir a este philisteu, e tirar a afronta de sobre Israel? quem é pois este incircunciso philisteu, para afrontar os exércitos do Deus vivo?
27 The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.”
E o povo lhe tornou a falar conforme àquela palavra dizendo: Assim farão ao homem que o ferir.
28 Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the evil of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”
E, ouvindo Eliab, seu irmão mais velho, falar àqueles homens, acendeu-se a ira de Eliab contra David, e disse: Porque desceste aqui? e a quem deixaste aquelas poucas ovelhas no deserto? bem conheço a tua presunção, e a maldade do teu coração, que desceste para ver a peleja
29 David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?”
Então disse David: Que fiz eu agora? porventura não há razão para isso?
30 He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.
E desviou-se dele para outro, e falou conforme àquela palavra: e o povo lhe tornou a responder conforme às primeiras palavras.
31 When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
E, ouvidas as palavras que David havia falado, as anunciaram a Saul, e mandou em busca dele.
32 David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
E David disse a Saul: Não desfaleça o coração de ninguém por causa dele: teu servo irá, e pelejará contra este philisteu.
33 Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
Porém Saul disse a David: Contra este philisteu não poderás ir para pelejar com ele: pois tu ainda és moço, e ele homem de guerra desde a sua mocidade.
34 David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
Então disse David a Saul: Teu servo apascentava as ovelhas de seu pai; e vinha um leão e um urso, e tomava uma ovelha do rebanho;
35 I went out after him, struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed him.
E eu saí após ele, e o feri, e livrei-a da sua boca: e, levantando-se ele contra mim, lancei-lhe mão da barba, e o feri, e o matei.
36 Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”
Assim feriu o teu servo o leão, como o urso: assim será este incircunciso philisteu como um deles; porquanto afrontou os exércitos do Deus vivo.
37 David said, “Yahweh, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go! Yahweh will be with you.”
Disse mais David: O Senhor me livrou da mão do leão, e da do urso; ele me livrará da mão deste philisteu. Então disse Saul a David: vai-te embora, e o Senhor seja contigo.
38 Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
E Saul vestiu a David dos seus vestidos, e pôs-lhe sobre a cabeça um capacete de bronze: e o vestiu de uma couraça.
39 David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.
E David cingiu a espada sobre os seus vestidos, e começou a andar; porém nunca o havia experimentado: então disse David a Saul: Não posso andar com isto, pois nunca o experimentei. E David tirou aquilo de sobre si.
40 He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.
E tomou o seu cajado na mão, e escolheu para si cinco seixos do ribeiro, e pô-los no alforge de pastor, que trazia, a saber, no surrão, e lançou mão da sua funda: e foi-se chegando ao philisteu.
41 The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
O philisteu também veio e se vinha chegando a David: e o que lhe levava o escudo ia diante dele.
42 When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
E, olhando o philisteu, e vendo a David, o desprezou, porquanto era mancebo, ruivo, e de gentil aspecto.
43 The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Disse pois o philisteu a David: Sou eu algum cão, para tu vires a mim com paus? E o philisteu amaldiçoou a David pelos seus deuses.
44 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.”
Disse mais o philisteu a David: Vem a mim, e darei a tua carne às aves do céu e às bestas do campo.
45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
David porém disse ao philisteu: Tu vens a mim com espada, e com lança, e com escudo; porém eu venho a ti em nome do Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus dos exércitos de Israel, a quem tens afrontado.
46 Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky and to the wild animals of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
Hoje mesmo o Senhor te entregará na minha mão, e ferir-te-ei, e te tirarei a cabeça, e os corpos do arraial dos philisteus darei hoje mesmo às aves do céu e às bestas da terra: e toda a terra saberá que há Deus em Israel
47 and that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is Yahweh’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
E saberá toda esta congregação que o Senhor salva, não com espada, nem com lança; porque do Senhor é a guerra, e ele vos entregará na nossa mão.
48 When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
E sucedeu que, levantando-se o philisteu, e indo encontrar-se com David, apressou-se David, e correu ao combate, a encontrar-se com o philisteu.
49 David put his hand in his bag, took a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
E David meteu a mão no alforge, e tomou dali uma pedra e com a funda lha atirou, e feriu o philisteu na testa, e a pedra se lhe encravou na testa, e caiu sobre o seu rosto em terra.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.
Assim David prevaleceu contra o philisteu, com uma funda e com uma pedra, e feriu o philisteu, e o matou sem que David tivesse uma espada na mão.
51 Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
Pelo que correu David, e pôs-se em pé sobre o philisteu, e tomou a sua espada, e tirou-a da bainha, e o matou, e lhe cortou com ela a cabeça: vendo então os philisteus, que o seu campeão era morto, fugiram.
52 The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.
Então os homens de Israel e Judá se levantaram, e jubilaram, e seguiram os philisteus, até chegar ao vale, e até às portas de Ekron: e cairam os feridos dos philisteus pelo caminho de Saaraim até Gath e até Ekron
53 The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
Então voltaram os filhos de Israel de perseguirem os philisteus, e despojaram os seus arraiais.
54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
E David tomou a cabeça do philisteu, e a trouxe a Jerusalém: porém pôs as armas dele na sua tenda.
55 When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”
Vendo porém Saul sair David a encontrar-se com o philisteu, disse a Abner, o chefe do exército: De quem é filho este mancebo, Abner? E disse Abner: Vive a tua alma, ó rei, que o não sei
56 The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man is!”
Disse então o rei: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho este mancebo.
57 As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Voltando pois David de ferir o philisteu, Abner o tomou consigo, e o trouxe à presença de Saul, trazendo ele na mão a cabeça do philisteu.
58 Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
E disse-lhe Saul: De quem és filho, mancebo? E disse David: Filho de teu servo Jessé, beth-lehemita.
