1 Samuel 30
1 When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,
E Quando Davi e os seus vieram a Ziclague o terceiro dia, os de Amaleque haviam invadido o sul e a Ziclague, e haviam assolado a Ziclague, e posto-a a fogo.
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off and went their way.
E haviam-se levado cativas às mulheres que estavam nela, desde a menor até a maior; mas a ninguém haviam matado, mas sim levado, e ido seu caminho.
3 When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
Veio, pois Davi com os seus à cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres e seus filhos e filhas levadas cativas.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
Então Davi e a gente que com ele estava, levantaram sua voz e choraram, até que lhes faltaram as forças para chorar.
5 David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
As duas mulheres de Davi, Ainoã jezreelita e Abigail a que foi mulher de Nabal do Carmelo, também eram cativas.
6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
E Davi foi muito angustiado, porque o povo falava de apedrejá-lo; porque todo aquele povo estava com ânimo amargo, cada um por seus filhos e por suas filhas: mas Davi se esforçou no SENHOR seu Deus.
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
E disse Davi ao sacerdote Abiatar filho de Aimeleque: Eu te rogo que me tragas o éfode. E Abiatar trouxe o éfode a Davi.
8 David inquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
E Davi consultou ao SENHOR, dizendo: Seguirei esta tropa? Poderei alcançá-la? E ele lhe disse: Segue-a que de certo a alcançarás, e sem falta livrarás a presa.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Partiu-se, pois, Davi, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele estavam, e vieram até o ribeiro de Besor, de onde se restaram alguns.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
E Davi seguiu o alcance com quatrocentos homens; porque se restaram atrás duzentos, que cansados não puderam passar o ribeiro de Besor.
11 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
E acharam no acampamento um homem egípcio, o qual trouxeram a Davi, e deram-lhe pão que comesse, e a beber água;
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
Deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos, e dois cachos de passas. E logo que comeu, voltou nele seu espírito; porque não havia comido pão nem bebido água em três dias e três noites.
13 David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.
E disse-lhe Davi: De quem és tu? E de onde és? E respondeu o jovem egípcio: Eu sou servo de um amalequita, e deixou-me meu amo hoje há três dias, porque estava enfermo;
14 We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
Pois fizemos uma incursão à parte do sul dos queretitas, e a Judá, e ao sul de Calebe; e pusemos fogo a Ziclague.
15 David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
E disse-lhe Davi: Tu me levarás a essa tropa? E ele disse: Faze-me juramento por Deus que não me matarás, nem me entregarás nas mãos de meu amo, e eu te levarei a essa gente.
16 When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Então o levou-o; e eis que estavam dispersos sobre a face de toda aquela terra, comendo e bebendo e fazendo festa, por toda aquela grande presa que haviam tomado da terra dos filisteus, e da terra de Judá.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
E feriu-os Davi desde aquela manhã até à tarde do dia seguinte: e não escapou deles nenhum, a não ser quatrocentos rapazes, que haviam subido em camelos e fugiram.
18 David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
E livrou Davi tudo o que os amalequitas haviam tomado: e também libertou Davi a suas duas mulheres.
19 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
E não lhes faltou coisa pequena nem grande, tanto de filhos como de filhas, do roubo, e de todas as coisas que lhes haviam tomado: todo o recuperou Davi.
20 David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
Tomou também Davi todas as ovelhas e gados maiores; e trazendo-o todo adiante, diziam: Esta é a presa de Davi.
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
E veio Davi aos duzentos homens que haviam restado cansados e não haviam podido perseguir a Davi, aos quais haviam feito restar no ribeiro de Besor; e eles saíram a receber a Davi, e ao povo que com ele estava. E quando Davi chegou à gente, saudou-os com paz.
22 Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
Então todos os maus e perversos dentre os que haviam ido com Davi, responderam e disseram: Pois que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos da presa que tiramos, a não ser a cada um sua mulher e seus filhos; os quais tomem e se vão.
23 Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
E Davi disse: Não façais isso, irmãos meus, do que nos deu o SENHOR; o qual nos guardou, e entregou em nossas mãos a caterva que veio sobre nós.
24 Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
E quem vos escutará neste caso? Porque igual parte será a dos que vem à batalha, e a dos que ficam com a bagagem; que repartam juntos.
25 It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
E desde aquele dia em diante foi isto posto por lei e ordenança em Israel, até hoje.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
E quando Davi chegou a Ziclague, enviou da presa aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis aqui uma bênção para vós, da presa dos inimigos do SENHOR.
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
Aos que estavam em Betel, e em Ramote ao sul, e aos que estavam em Jattir;
28 to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
E aos que estavam em Aroer, e em Sifmote, e aos que estavam em Estemoa;
29 to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
E aos que estavam em Racal, e aos que estavam nas cidades de Jerameel, e aos que estavam nas cidades dos queneus;
30 to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
E aos que estavam em Hormá, e aos que estavam em Corasã, e aos que estavam em Atace;
31 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
E aos que estavam em Hebrom, e em todos os lugares de onde Davi havia estado com os seus.
