< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 So David went away from there and took cover in a strong place at Adullam; and his brothers and all his father's people, hearing of it, went down to him there.
E indo-se Davi dali escapou-se à cova de Adulão; o qual quando ouviram seus irmãos e toda a casa de seu pai, vieram ali a ele.
2 And everyone who was in trouble, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, came together to him, and he became captain over them: about four hundred men were joined to him.
E juntaram-se com ele todos os afligidos, e todo aquele que estava endividado, e todos os que se achavam em amargura de espírito, e foi feito capitão deles: e teve consigo como quatrocentos homens.
3 And from there David went to Mizpeh in the land of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and mother come and make their living-place with you till it is clear to me what God will do for me.
E foi-se Davi dali a Mispá de Moabe, e disse ao rei de Moabe: Eu te rogo que meu pai e minha mãe estejam convosco, até que saiba o que Deus fará de mim.
4 And he took them to the king of Moab and they went on living with him while David was in his safe place.
Trouxe-os, pois, à presença do rei de Moabe, e habitaram com ele todo aquele tempo que Davi esteve na fortaleza.
5 And the prophet Gad said to David, Do not go on living in this place but go into the land of Judah. Then David went away and came to the woodland of Hereth.
E Gade profeta disse a Davi: Não fiques nesta fortaleza, parte-te, e vai-te à terra de Judá. E Davi se partiu, e veio ao bosque de Herete.
6 And news was given to Saul that David had been seen, and the men who were with him: now Saul was in Gibeah, seated under the tree in the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were in their places before him.
E ouviu Saul como havia aparecido Davi, e os que estavam com ele. Estava então Saul em Gibeá debaixo de uma árvore em Ramá, e tinha sua lança em sua mão, e todos os seus criados estavam em derredor dele.
7 Then Saul said to his servants who were there about him, Give ear now, you Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give to every one of you fields and vine-gardens, will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands;
E disse Saul a seus criados que estavam em derredor dele: Ouvi agora, filhos de Benjamim: O filho de Jessé também dará a todos vós terras e vinhas, e vos fará a todos comandantes de mim e comandantes de cem,
8 That all of you have made designs against me, and not one of you gave me word when my son made an agreement with the son of Jesse, and not one of you has pity for me or has made my eyes open to the fact that my servant has been moved by my son against me, as at this day?
Que todos vós conspirastes contra mim, e não há quem me revele ao ouvido como meu filho fez aliança com o filho de Jessé, nem alguém de vós que se condoa de mim, e me revele como meu filho levantou meu servo contra mim, para que me prepare ciladas, como ele hoje faz?
9 Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was by the side of the servants of Saul, in answer said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub.
Então Doegue edomita, que era superior entre os servos de Saul, respondeu e disse: Eu vi ao filho de Jessé que veio a Nobe, a Aimeleque filho de Aitube;
10 And he got directions from the Lord for him, and gave him food, and put in his hand the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
O qual consultou por ele ao SENHOR, e deu-lhe provisão, e também lhe deu a espada de Golias o filisteu.
11 Then the king sent for Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and for all the men of his father's family who were priests in Nob: and they all came to the king.
E o rei enviou pelo sacerdote Aimeleque filho de Aitube, e por toda a casa de seu pai, os sacerdotes que estavam em Nobe: e todos vieram ao rei.
12 And Saul said, Give ear now, O son of Ahitub. And answering he said, Here I am, my lord.
E Saul lhe disse: Ouve agora, filho de Aitube. E ele disse: Eis-me aqui, senhor meu.
13 And Saul said to him, Why have you made designs against me with the son of Jesse, giving him food and a sword and getting directions from the Lord for him, and helping him to take up arms against me, and to be on the watch to make a secret attack on me as he is doing now?
E disse-lhe Saul: Por que conspirastes contra mim, tu e o filho de Jessé, quando tu lhe deste pão e espada, e consultaste por ele a Deus, para que se levantasse contra mim e me armasse cilada, como o faz hoje dia?
14 Then Ahimelech answering said to the king, Who among all your servants is so true to you as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is a captain of your armed men, and has a place of honour in your house?
Então Aimeleque respondeu ao rei, e disse: E quem entre todos teus servos é tão fiel como Davi, genro também do rei, e que vai por teu mandado, e é ilustre em tua casa?
15 Is this the first time I have got directions from God for him? Far be the thought! let the king make no such statement against his servant or my father's family, for your servant has no knowledge, great or small, of this thing.
Comecei eu desde hoje a consultar por ele a Deus? Longe seja de mim: não impute o rei coisa alguma a seu servo, nem a toda a casa de meu pai; porque teu servo nenhuma coisa sabe deste negócio, grande nem pequena.
16 And the king said, You will certainly be put to death, Ahimelech, you and all your father's family.
E o rei disse: Sem dúvida morrerás, Aimeleque, tu e toda a casa de teu pai.
17 Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests.
Então disse o rei à gente de sua guarda que estava ao redor dele: Voltai-vos e matai aos sacerdotes do SENHOR; porque também a mão deles é com Davi, pois sabendo eles que fugia, não o revelaram a mim. Mas os servos do rei não quiseram estender suas mãos para matar os sacerdotes do SENHOR.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, You are to put the priests to death. And Doeg the Edomite, turning on the priests and attacking them, put to death that day eighty-five men who took up the ephod.
Então disse o rei a Doegue: Volta tu, e arremete contra os sacerdotes. E revolvendo-se Doegue edomita, arremeteu contra os sacerdotes, e matou naquele dia oitenta e cinco homens que vestiam éfode de linho.
19 And Nob, the town of the priests, he put to the sword, all the men and women, children and babies at the breast, and oxen and asses and sheep.
E a Nobe, cidade dos sacerdotes, pôs à espada: tanto a homens como a mulheres, meninos e mamantes, bois e asnos e ovelhas, tudo à espada.
20 And Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, got away and went in flight after David;
Mas um dos filhos de Aimeleque filho de Aitube, que se chamava Abiatar, escapou, e fugiu-se a Davi.
21 And gave him the news of how Saul had put to death the Lord's priests.
E Abiatar noticiou a Davi como Saul havia matado os sacerdotes do SENHOR.
22 And David said to Abiathar, I was certain that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would take the news to Saul: I am responsible for the lives of all your father's family.
E disse Davi a Abiatar: Eu sabia que estando ali aquele dia Doegue o edomita, ele o havia de fazer saber a Saul. Eu dei ocasião contra todas as pessoas da casa de teu pai.
23 Keep here with me and have no fear; for he who has designs on my life has designs on yours: but with me you will be safe.
Fica-te comigo, não temas: quem buscar minha vida, buscará também a tua: bem que comigo tu estarás seguro.
