1 Samuel 17
1 The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
Now os filisteus reuniram seus exércitos para a batalha; e eles foram reunidos em Socoh, que pertence a Judah, e acampados entre Socoh e Azekah em Ephesdammim.
2 Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
Saul e os homens de Israel estavam reunidos, e acampados no vale de Elá, e ordenaram a batalha contra os filisteus.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
Os filisteus estavam na montanha de um lado, e Israel estava na montanha do outro lado: e havia um vale entre eles.
4 Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
Um campeão fora do campo dos filisteus chamado Golias de Gate, cuja altura era de seis côvados e um vão se apagou.
5 He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
Ele tinha um capacete de bronze na cabeça, e usava um casaco de correio; e o peso do casaco era de cinco mil shekels de bronze.
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
Ele tinha uma armadura de canela de bronze em suas pernas e um dardo de bronze entre seus ombros.
7 He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
O bastão de sua lança era como uma viga de tecelão; e a cabeça de sua lança pesava seiscentos shekels de ferro. Seu portador de escudo foi antes dele.
8 Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to me!
Ele se levantou e gritou aos exércitos de Israel, e disse-lhes: “Por que vocês saíram para organizar sua batalha? Não sou eu um filisteu e vocês servos de Saul? Escolham um homem para vocês e deixem que ele desça até mim.
9 If he fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
Se ele for capaz de lutar comigo e me matar, então seremos seus servos; mas se eu prevalecer contra ele e matá-lo, então vocês serão nossos servos e nos servirão”.
10 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
O filisteu disse: “Desafio os exércitos de Israel hoje! Dai-me um homem, para que possamos lutar juntos”!
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
Quando Saul e todo Israel ouviram essas palavras do filisteu, ficaram consternados e com muito medo.
12 David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
Agora Davi era o filho daquele efrateu de Belém Judá, cujo nome era Jessé; e tinha oito filhos. O homem era um homem idoso nos dias de Saul.
13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
Os três filhos mais velhos de Jessé tinham ido atrás de Saul para a batalha; e os nomes de seus três filhos que foram para a batalha eram Eliab, o primogênito, e ao seu lado Abinadabe, e o terceiro Shammah.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
David era o mais jovem; e os três mais velhos seguiram Saul.
15 David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
Agora Davi ia e voltava de Saul para alimentar as ovelhas de seu pai em Belém.
16 For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
O filisteu se aproximou de manhã e à noite, e se apresentou durante quarenta dias.
17 [One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
Jesse disse a David, seu filho: “Agora tome para seus irmãos uma efa deste grão torrado e estes dez pães, e leve-os rapidamente ao acampamento para seus irmãos;
18 And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
e traga estes dez queijos ao capitão dos mil; e veja como seus irmãos estão se saindo, e traga notícias”.
19 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
Now Saul, e eles, e todos os homens de Israel estavam no vale de Elá, lutando com os filisteus.
20 So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
David levantou-se de manhã cedo e deixou as ovelhas com um tratador, pegou as provisões e foi, como Jesse lhe havia ordenado. Ele chegou ao lugar das carroças enquanto o exército que ia à luta gritava para a batalha.
21 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
Israel e os filisteus colocaram a batalha em ordem, exército contra exército.
22 David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
David deixou sua bagagem na mão do guarda da bagagem e correu para o exército, e veio e cumprimentou seus irmãos.
23 While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
Enquanto falava com eles, eis que o campeão, o filisteu de Gate, Golias por nome, saiu das fileiras dos filisteus e disse as mesmas palavras; e David os ouviu.
24 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
Todos os homens de Israel, quando viram o homem, fugiram dele e ficaram aterrorizados.
25 They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
Os homens de Israel disseram: “Você já viu este homem que subiu? Ele certamente subiu para desafiar Israel. O rei dará grandes riquezas ao homem que o matar, e lhe dará sua filha, e tornará a casa de seu pai livre de impostos em Israel”.
26 David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
David falou aos homens que o apoiaram, dizendo: “O que será feito ao homem que matar este filisteu e tirar a reprovação de Israel? Pois quem é este filisteu incircunciso, para que desafie os exércitos do Deus vivo?”
27 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
O povo lhe respondeu desta maneira, dizendo: “Assim será feito com o homem que o matar”.
28 But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
Eliab, seu irmão mais velho, ouviu quando falou com os homens; e a raiva de Eliab queimou contra David, e ele disse: “Por que você desceu? Com quem você deixou aquelas poucas ovelhas no deserto? Eu conheço seu orgulho e o mal de seu coração; pois você desceu para poder ver a batalha”.
29 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
David disse: “O que eu fiz agora? Não há uma causa?”
30 Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
Ele se afastou dele em direção a outro, e falou assim novamente; e as pessoas responderam-lhe novamente da mesma maneira.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
Quando as palavras de David foram ouvidas, eles as ensaiaram diante de Saul; e ele mandou chamá-lo.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
David disse a Saul: “Que o coração de nenhum homem falhe por causa dele”. Seu servo irá e lutará com este filisteu”.
33 Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
Saul disse a David: “Você não pode ir contra este filisteu para lutar com ele; pois você é apenas um jovem, e ele um homem de guerra de sua juventude”.
34 David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
David disse a Saul: “Seu servo estava guardando as ovelhas de seu pai; e quando um leão ou um urso chegou e tirou um cordeiro do rebanho,
35 I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
eu saí atrás dele, bati nele e o salvei da boca. Quando ele se levantou contra mim, eu o peguei pela barba, bati nele, e o matei.
36 I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
Seu criado bateu tanto no leão quanto no urso. Este filisteu incircunciso será como um deles, já que desafiou os exércitos do Deus vivo”.
37 Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
David disse: “Yahweh, que me libertou da pata do leão e da pata do urso, me libertará da mão deste filisteu”. Saul disse a David: “Vá! Yahweh estará com você”.
38 Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
Saul vestiu David com suas roupas. Ele colocou um capacete de bronze em sua cabeça, e o revestiu com um casaco de correio.
39 David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
David amarrou sua espada em sua roupa e tentou se mover, pois não a havia testado. David disse a Saul: “Eu não posso ir com estas, pois não as testei”. Então David as tirou.
40 Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
Ele pegou seu pessoal na mão e escolheu para si cinco pedras lisas do riacho e as colocou na bolsa de seu pastor que ele tinha na bolsa. Sua funda estava em sua mão; e ele se aproximou do filisteu.
41 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
O filisteu caminhou e se aproximou de David; e o homem que levava o escudo foi antes dele.
42 he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
Quando o filisteu olhou em volta e viu David, ele o desprezou; pois ele não passava de um jovem, e corado, e tinha um rosto bonito.
43 He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
O filisteu disse a David: “Sou eu um cão, que você vem até mim com paus? O filisteu amaldiçoou Davi por seus deuses.
44 He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
O filisteu disse a Davi: “Vem a mim, e eu darei tua carne aos pássaros do céu e aos animais do campo”.
45 David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
Então David disse ao filisteu: “Você vem a mim com uma espada, com uma lança e com um dardo; mas eu venho a você em nome de Javé dos exércitos, o Deus dos exércitos de Israel, a quem você desafiou.
46 Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
Hoje, Javé o entregará em minhas mãos. Eu te baterei e tirarei sua cabeça de cima de você. Darei os cadáveres do exército dos filisteus hoje às aves do céu e aos animais selvagens da terra, para que toda a terra saiba que existe um Deus em Israel,
47 And everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
e que toda esta assembléia saiba que Javé não salva com espada e lança; pois a batalha é de Javé, e ele vos entregará em nossas mãos”.
48 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
Quando o filisteu se levantou, andou e se aproximou para encontrar David, David se apressou e correu em direção ao exército para encontrar o filisteu.
49 He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
David colocou a mão na bolsa, pegou uma pedra e a jogou, e bateu na testa do filisteu. A pedra afundou em sua testa, e ele caiu com o rosto na terra.
50 Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
Então David prevaleceu sobre o filisteu com uma funda e com uma pedra, e bateu no filisteu e o matou; mas não havia espada na mão de David.
Então David correu, ficou em pé sobre o filisteu, pegou sua espada, tirou-a de sua bainha, matou-o e cortou sua cabeça com ela. Quando os filisteus viram que seu campeão estava morto, eles fugiram.
52 The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
Os homens de Israel e de Judá levantaram-se e gritaram, e perseguiram os filisteus até Gai e até os portões de Ekron. Os feridos dos filisteus caíram no caminho para Shaaraim, até mesmo para Gate e para Ekron.
53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
As crianças de Israel voltaram de perseguir os filisteus, e saquearam seu acampamento.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
David pegou a cabeça dos filisteus e a trouxe para Jerusalém, mas colocou sua armadura em sua tenda.
55 As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
Quando Saul viu Davi sair contra o filisteu, disse a Abner, o capitão do exército: “Abner, de quem é filho este jovem? Abner disse: “Como sua alma vive, ó rei, eu não sei dizer”.
56 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
O rei disse: “Inquira de quem é o filho o jovem”!
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
Quando David voltou do massacre do filisteu, Abner o tomou e o trouxe diante de Saul com a cabeça do filisteu na mão.
58 Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
Saul lhe disse: “De quem você é filho, seu jovem?” David respondeu: “Sou o filho de seu servo Jesse, o Bethlehemite”.
