1 Samuel 30
1 Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
Quando David e seus homens chegaram a Ziklag no terceiro dia, os amalequitas fizeram uma incursão no Sul e em Ziklag, e atingiram Ziklag e o queimaram com fogo,
2 They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
e levaram cativas as mulheres e todos os que estavam nele, tanto pequenos como grandes. Elas não mataram nenhuma, mas as carregaram e seguiram seu caminho.
3 When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
Quando David e seus homens chegaram à cidade, eis que ela foi queimada com fogo; e suas esposas, seus filhos e suas filhas foram levados cativos.
4 David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
Então Davi e as pessoas que estavam com ele levantaram a voz e choraram até não terem mais poder para chorar.
5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
As duas esposas de Davi foram levadas cativas, Ahinoam, a Jezreelita, e Abigail, a esposa de Nabal, a Carmelita.
6 David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
David estava muito angustiado, pois o povo falava em apedrejá-lo, porque as almas de todo o povo estavam de luto, cada homem por seus filhos e por suas filhas; mas David se fortaleceu em Yahweh seu Deus.
7 David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
David disse a Abiathar, o sacerdote, filho de Ahimelech: “Por favor, traga o éfode aqui para mim”. A Abiathar trouxe o éfode para David.
8 and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
David perguntou a Yahweh, dizendo: “Se eu perseguir esta tropa, vou ultrapassá-los?” Ele lhe respondeu: “Persigam, pois vocês certamente os ultrapassarão, e recuperarão tudo sem falta”.
9 So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
Então David foi, ele e os seiscentos homens que estavam com ele, e veio para o riacho Besor, onde ficaram os que ficaram para trás.
10 David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
Mas David perseguiu, ele e quatrocentos homens; pois duzentos ficaram para trás, que estavam tão fracos que não conseguiam atravessar o riacho Besor.
11 [As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
Encontraram um egípcio no campo, trouxeram-no até Davi, deram-lhe pão e ele comeu; e deram-lhe água para beber.
12 They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
Deram-lhe um pedaço de bolo de figos e dois cachos de passas de uva. Quando ele comeu, seu espírito voltou a ele; pois ele não tinha comido pão e não tinha bebido água por três dias e três noites.
13 David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
David lhe perguntou: “A quem você pertence? De onde você é?” Ele disse: “Sou um jovem do Egito, servo de um amalequita; e meu mestre me deixou, porque há três dias fiquei doente.
14 We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
Fizemos uma incursão no Sul dos Cherethites, e no que pertence a Judá, e no Sul de Calebe; e queimamos Ziklag com fogo”.
15 David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
David lhe disse: “Você vai me levar até esta tropa?” Ele disse: “Jura-me por Deus que não me matarás e não me entregarás nas mãos de meu mestre, e eu te levarei até esta tropa”.
16 [David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
Quando ele o derrubou, eis que estavam espalhados por toda a terra, comendo, bebendo e dançando, por causa de todos os grandes saques que haviam tirado da terra dos filisteus, e da terra de Judá.
17 David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
David os atacou desde o crepúsculo até a noite do dia seguinte. Nem um homem deles escapou dali, exceto quatrocentos jovens que montaram em camelos e fugiram.
18 David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
David recuperou tudo o que os amalequitas haviam levado, e David salvou suas duas esposas.
19 Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
Não lhes faltava nada, nem pequenos nem grandes, nem filhos nem filhas, nem pilhagem, nem nada que eles tivessem levado. David os trouxe a todos de volta.
20 They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
David levou todos os rebanhos e os rebanhos, que eles conduziam antes desses outros animais, e disse: “Este é o saque de David”.
21 David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
David veio aos duzentos homens, que estavam tão fracos que não puderam seguir David, que também tinham feito para ficar no riacho Besor; e foram ao encontro de David, e das pessoas que estavam com ele. Quando Davi chegou perto do povo, ele os cumprimentou.
22 But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
Então todos os homens maus e inúteis daqueles que foram com Davi responderam e disseram: “Porque eles não foram conosco, não lhes daremos nada do saque que recuperamos, exceto a cada homem sua esposa e seus filhos, para que ele os leve embora e parta”.
23 David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
Então David disse: “Não o façam, meus irmãos, com aquilo que Javé nos deu, que nos preservou e entregou a tropa que veio contra nós em nossas mãos”.
24 (Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
Quem o escutará neste assunto? Pois como sua parte é quem vai para a batalha, também sua parte será quem fica com a bagagem. Eles compartilharão da mesma forma”.
25 David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
Foi assim desde aquele dia em diante que ele fez dele um estatuto e uma portaria para Israel até os dias de hoje.
26 When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
Quando David veio a Ziklag, ele enviou parte do saque aos anciãos de Judá, até mesmo a seus amigos, dizendo: “Eis um presente para você do saque dos inimigos de Javé”.
27 [Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
Ele enviou para aqueles que estavam em Betel, para aqueles que estavam em Ramoth do Sul, para aqueles que estavam em Jattir,
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
para aqueles que estavam em Aroer, para aqueles que estavam em Siphmoth, para aqueles que estavam em Eshtemoa,
29 Racal, the cities where the descendants of Jehrameel lived and the cities where the Ken people-group lived,
para aqueles que estavam em Racal, aos que estavam nas cidades dos Jerahmeelitas, aos que estavam nas cidades dos quenitas,
30 Hormah, Bor-Ashan, Athach,
aos que estavam em Hormah, aos que estavam em Borashan, aos que estavam em Athach,
31 Hebron, and all the other places where David and his men had gone [when they were hiding from Saul].
aos que estavam em Hebron, e a todos os lugares onde o próprio David e seus homens costumavam ficar.
