1 Samuel 30
1 Sucedeu pois que, chegando David e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Siclag, já os amalequitas com ímpeto tinham dado sobre o sul, e sobre Siclag, e tinham ferido a Siclag e a tinham queimado a fogo.
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;
2 E as mulheres que estavam nela levaram cativas, porém a ninguém mataram, nem pequenos nem grandes; tão somente os levaram consigo, e foram pelo seu caminho.
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.
3 E David e os seus homens vieram à cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas eram levados cativos.
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.
4 Então David e o povo que se achava com ele alçaram a sua voz, e choraram, até que neles não houve mais força para chorar.
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Também as duas mulheres de David foram levadas cativas; Achinoam, a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita.
And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 E David muito se angustiou, porque o povo falava de apedreja-lo, porque o ânimo 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.
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke 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.
7 E disse David a Abiathar, o sacerdote, filho de Achimelech: Traze-me, peço-te, aqui o éfode. E Abiathar trouxe o éfode a David.
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray you, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
8 Então consultou David ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? alcança-la-ei? E o Senhor lhe disse: Persegue-a, porque decerto a alcançarás, e tudo libertarás.
And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for you shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
9 Partiu pois David, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde os que ficaram atráz pararam.
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.
10 E seguiu-os David, ele e os quatrocentos homens, pois que duzentos homens ficaram, por não poderem, de cançados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 E acharam no campo um homem egípcio, e o trouxeram a David: deram-lhe pão, e comeu, e deram-lhe a beber água.
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;
12 Deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos e dois cachos de passas, e comeu, e voltou-lhe o seu espírito, porque havia três dias e três noites que não tinha comido pão nem bebido água.
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.
13 Então David lhe disse: De quem és tu, e de onde és? E disse o moço egípcio: Sou servo dum homem amalekita, e meu senhor me deixou, porque adoeci há três dias.
And David said to him, To whom belong you? and from where are you? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Nós demos com ímpeto para a banda do sul dos cherethitas, e para a banda de Judá, e para a banda do sul de Caleb, e pusemos fogo a Siclag.
We made an invasion on the south of the Cherethites, and on the coast which belongs to Judah, and on the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15 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 guiarei a essa tropa.
And David said to him, Can you bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this company.
16 E, descendo, o guiou e eis que estavam espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra, comendo, e bebendo, e dançando, por todo aquele grande despojo que tomaram da terra dos philisteus e da terra de Judá.
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad on 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.
17 E feriu-os David, desde o crepúsculo até à tarde do dia seguinte, e nenhum deles escapou, senão só quatrocentos mancebos que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram.
And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode on camels, and fled.
18 Assim livrou David tudo quanto tomaram aos amalequitas: também as suas duas mulheres livrou David.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
19 E ninguém lhes faltou, desde o menor até ao maior, e até os filhos e as filhas; e também desde o despojo até tudo quanto lhes tinham tomado, tudo David tornou a trazer.
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.
20 Também tomou David todas as ovelhas e vacas, e levavam-nas diante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de David.
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
21 E, chegando David aos duzentos homens que, de cançados que estavam, não puderam seguir a David, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes sairam ao encontro de David e do povo que com ele vinha: e, chegando-se David ao povo, os saudou em paz.
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.
22 Então todos os maus, e filhos de Belial, dentre os homens que tinham ido com David, responderam, e disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos do despojo que libertamos; mas que leve cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, e se vá.
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 any of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
23 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.
Then said David, You shall not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given us, who has preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
24 E quem a tal vos daria ouvidos? porque qual é a parte dos que desceram à peleja, tal também será a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; igualmente repartirão.
For who will listen to you in this matter? but as his part is that goes down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarries by the stuff: they shall part alike.
25 O que assim foi desde aquele dia em diante, porquanto o pôs por estatuto e direito em Israel até ao dia de hoje.
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 E, chegando David a Siclag, enviou do despojo aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis ai para vós uma benção do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor;
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
27 Aos de bethel, e aos de Ramoth do sul, e aos de Jatter,
To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
28 E aos de Aroer, e aos de Siphmoth, e aos de Esthemoa,
And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
29 E aos de Rachal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerahmeelitas e nas cidades dos keneos,
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,
30 E aos de Horma, e aos de Corasan, e aos de Athak,
And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,
31 E aos de Hebron, e a todos os lugares em que andara David, ele e os seus homens.
And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
