< 1 Samuel 17 >

1 E os filisteus juntaram seus exércitos para a guerra, e congregaram-se em Socó, que é de Judá, e assentaram o campo entre Socó e Azeca, em Efes-Damim.
Now the Philistines gathering together their troops to battle, assembled at Socho of Juda, and camped between Socho and Azeca in the borders of Dommim.
2 E também Saul e os homens de Israel se juntaram, e assentaram o acampamento no vale de Elá, e ordenaram a batalha contra os filisteus.
And Saul and the children of Israel being gathered together came to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines.
3 E os filisteus estavam sobre o um monte da uma parte, e Israel estava sobre o outro monte da outra parte, e o vale entre eles:
And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 Saiu então um homem do acampamento dos filisteus que se pôs entre os dois campos, o qual se chamava Golias, de Gate, e tinha de altura seis côvados e um palmo.
And there went out a man baseborn from the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Geth, whose height was six cubits and a span:
5 E trazia um capacete de bronze em sua cabeça, e ia vestido com couraças de placas: e era o peso da couraça cinco mil siclos de bronze:
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass:
6 E sobre suas pernas trazia caneleiras de ferro, e escudo de bronze a seus ombros.
And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders.
7 A haste de sua lança era como um lançador de tear, e tinha o ferro de sua lança seiscentos siclos de ferro: e ia seu escudeiro diante dele.
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him.
8 E parou-se, e deu vozes aos esquadrões de Israel, dizendo-lhes: Para que saís a dar batalha? não sou eu o filisteu, e vós os servos de Saul? Escolhei dentre vós um homem que venha contra mim:
And standing he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.
9 Se ele puder lutar comigo, e me vencer, nós seremos vossos servos: e se eu puder mais que ele, e o vencer, vós sereis nossos servos e nos servireis.
If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us.
10 E acrescentou o filisteu: Hoje eu desafiei o acampamento de Israel; dá-me um homem que lute comigo.
And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.
11 E ouvindo Saul e todo Israel estas palavras do filisteu, perturbaram-se, e tiveram grande medo.
And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 E Davi era filho daquele homem efrateu de Belém de Judá, cujo nome era Jessé, o qual tinha oito filhos; e era este homem no tempo de Saul, velho, e de grande idade entre os homens.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Juda before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.
13 E os três filhos mais velhos de Jessé haviam ido a perseguir a Saul na guerra. E os nomes de seus três filhos que haviam ido à guerra, eram, Eliabe o primogênito, o segundo Abinadabe, e o terceiro Samá.
And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and the second Abinadab, and the third Samma.
14 E Davi era o mais novo. Seguiram, pois, os três maiores a Saul.
But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul,
15 Porém Davi ia e voltava de perto de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pai em Belém.
David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father’s flock at Bethlehem.
16 Vinha, pois, aquele filisteu pela manhã e à tarde, e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.
Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 E disse Jessé a Davi seu filho: Toma agora para teus irmãos um efá deste grão tostado, e estes dez pães, e leva-o logo ao acampamento a teus irmãos.
And Isai said to David his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren.
18 Levarás também estes dez queijos de leite ao capitão, e cuida de ver se teus irmãos estão bem, e toma garantias deles.
And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed.
19 E Saul e eles e todos os de Israel, estavam no vale de Elá, lutando com os filisteus.
But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting against the Philistines.
20 Levantou-se, pois, Davi de manhã, e deixando as ovelhas ao cuidado de um guarda, foi-se com sua carga, como Jessé lhe havia mandado; e chegou ao entrincheiramento do exército, o qual havia saído em ordem de batalha, e tocava alarme para a luta.
David therefore arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 Porque tanto os israelitas como os filisteus estavam em ordem de batalha, esquadrão contra esquadrão.
For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared.
22 E Davi deixou de sobre si a carga em mão do que guardava a bagagem, e correu ao esquadrão; e chegado que houve, perguntava por seus irmãos, se estavam bem.
And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle and asked if all things went well with his brethren.
23 E estando ele falando com eles, eis que aquele homem que se punha em meio dos dois acampamentos, que se chamava Golias, o filisteu de Gate, saiu dos esquadrões dos filisteus, e falou as mesmas palavras; as quais ouviu Davi.
And as he talked with them, that baseborn man whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them.
24 E todos os homens de Israel que viam aquele homem, fugiam de sua presença, e tinham grande temor.
And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly.
25 E cada um dos de Israel dizia: Não vistes aquele homem que saiu? Ele se adianta para provocar a Israel. Ao que lhe vencer, o rei lhe enriquecerá com grandes riquezas, e lhe dará sua filha, e fará livre de tributos a casa de seu pai em Israel.
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house free from tribute in Israel.
26 Então falou Davi aos que junto a ele estavam, dizendo: Que farão ao homem que vencer a este filisteu, e tirar a humilhação de Israel? Porque quem é este filisteu incircunciso, para que provoque aos esquadrões do Deus vivente?
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 E o povo lhe respondeu as mesmas palavras, dizendo: Assim se fará ao homem que o vencer.
And the people answered him the same words saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him.
28 E ouvindo-lhe falar Eliabe seu irmão mais velho com aqueles homens, Eliabe se acendeu em ira contra Davi, e disse: Para que hás descido aqui? e a quem deixaste aquelas poucas ovelhas no deserto? Eu conheço tua soberba e a malícia de teu coração, que vieste para ver a batalha.
Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why earnest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle.
29 E Davi respondeu: Que fiz eu agora? Não são estas apenas palavras?
And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak?
30 E apartando-se dele até outros, falou o mesmo; e responderam-lhe os do povo como da primeira vez.
And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before.
31 E foram ouvidas as palavras que Davi havia dito, as quais quando referiram diante de Saul, ele o fez vir.
And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul.
32 E disse Davi a Saul: Não desmaie ninguém por causa dele; teu servo irá e lutará com este filisteu.
And when he was brought to him, he said to him: Let not any man’s heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine.
33 E disse Saul a Davi: Não poderás tu ir contra aquele filisteu, para lutar com ele; porque tu és jovem, e ele um homem de guerra desde sua juventude.
And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth.
34 E Davi respondeu a Saul: Teu servo era pastor das ovelhas de seu pai, e vinha um leão, ou um urso, e tomava algum cordeiro do rebanho,
And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock:
35 E saía eu atrás dele, e feria-o, e livrava-lhe de sua boca: e se se levantava contra mim, eu o segurava pelo queixo, feria-o, e o matava.
And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
36 Fosse leão, fosse urso, teu servo o matava; pois este filisteu incircunciso será como um deles, porque provocou ao exército do Deus vivente.
For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God?
37 E acrescentou Davi: o SENHOR que me livrou das garras do leão e das garras do urso, ele também me livrará da mão deste filisteu. E disse Saul a Davi: Vai, e o SENHOR seja contigo.
And David said: The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with thee.
38 E Saul revestiu a Davi de suas roupas, e pôs sobre sua cabeça um capacete de bronze, e armou-lhe de couraça.
And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail.
39 E cingiu Davi sua espada sobre suas roupas, e provou a andar, porque nunca havia provado. E disse Davi a Saul: Eu não posso andar com isto, porque nunca o pratiquei. E lançando de si Davi aquelas coisas,
And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off,
40 Tomou seu cajado em sua mão, e escolheu para si cinco pedras lisas do ribeiro, e as pôs no saco pastoril e na sacola que trazia, e com sua funda em sua mão foi até o filisteu.
And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd’s scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.
41 E o filisteu vinha andando e aproximando-se a Davi, e seu escudeiro diante dele.
And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.
42 E quando o filisteu olhou e viu a Davi, menosprezou-o; porque era rapaz, e ruivo, e de bela aparência.
And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.
43 E disse o filisteu a Davi: Sou eu cão para que venhas a mim com paus? E amaldiçoou a Davi por seus deuses.
And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Disse logo o filisteu a Davi: Vem a mim, e darei tua carne às aves do céu, e aos animais do campo.
And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
45 Então disse Davi ao filisteu: Tu vens a mim com espada e lança e escudo; mas eu venho a ti no nome do SENHOR dos exércitos, o Deus dos esquadrões de Israel, que tu provocaste.
And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied.
46 o SENHOR te entregará hoje em minha mão, e eu te vencerei, e tirarei tua cabeça de ti: e darei hoje os corpos dos filisteus às aves do céu e aos animais da terra: e saberá a terra toda que há Deus em Israel.
This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 E saberá toda esta congregação que o SENHOR não salva com espada e lança; porque do SENHOR é la guerra, e ele vos entregará em nossas mãos.
And all this assembly shall know, that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands.
48 E aconteceu que, quando o filisteu se levantou para ir e chegar-se contra Davi, Davi se deu pressa, e correu ao combate contra o filisteu.
And when the Philistine arose and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine.
49 E metendo Davi sua mão no saco, tomou dali uma pedra, e atirou-a com a funda, e feriu ao filisteu na testa: e a pedra ficou fincada na testa, e caiu em terra sobre seu rosto.
And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth.
50 Assim venceu Davi ao filisteu com funda e pedra; e feriu ao filisteu e o matou, sem ter Davi espada em sua mão.
And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand,
51 Mas correu Davi e pôs-se sobre o filisteu, e tomando a espada dele, tirando-a de sua bainha, o matou, e cortou-lhe com ela a cabeça. E quando os filisteus viram seu gigante morto, fugiram.
He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away.
52 E levantando-se os de Israel e de Judá, deram grito, e seguiram aos filisteus até chegar ao vale, e até as portas de Ecrom. E caíram feridos dos filisteus pelo caminho de Saaraim, até Gate e Ecrom.
And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron.
53 Tornando logo os filhos de Israel de perseguir os filisteus, despojaram seu acampamento.
And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp.
54 E Davi tomou a cabeça do filisteu, e trouxe-a a Jerusalém, mas pôs suas armas em sua tenda.
And David taking the head of the Philistine brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent.
55 E quando Saul viu a Davi que saía a encontrar-se com o filisteu, disse a Abner general do exército: Abner, de quem é filho aquele rapaz? E Abner respondeu:
Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not.
56 Vive tua alma, ó rei, que não o sei. E o rei disse: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho aquele rapaz.
And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this man is.
57 E quando Davi voltava de matar ao filisteu, Abner o tomou, e levou-o diante de Saul, tendo a cabeça do filisteu em sua mão.
And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 E disse-lhe Saul: Rapaz, de quem és filho? E Davi respondeu: Eu sou filho de teu servo Jessé de Belém.
And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou? And David said: I am the son of thy servant Isai the Bethlehemite.
