< 1 Samuel 26 >

1 And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, and said, Is not David waiting secretly near us in the hill of Hachilah, before the waste land?
E vieram os zipheos a Saul, a Gibeah, dizendo: Não está David escondido no outeiro d'Hachila, á entrada de Jesimon?
2 Then Saul went down to the waste land of Ziph, taking with him three thousand of the best men of Israel, to make search for David in the waste land of Ziph.
Então Saul se levantou, e desceu ao deserto de Ziph, e com elle tres mil homens escolhidos de Israel, a buscar a David no deserto de Ziph.
3 And Saul put up his tents on the hill of Hachilah, which is in front of the waste land on the road. But David was in the waste land, and he saw that Saul was coming after him.
E acampou-se Saul no outeiro d'Hachila, que está á entrada de Jesimon, junto ao caminho: porém David ficou no deserto, e viu que Saul vinha após d'elle ao deserto.
4 And so David sent out watchers, and got word from them that Saul was certainly coming.
Pois David enviou espias, e soube que Saul vinha decerto.
5 And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.
E David se levantou, e veiu ao logar onde Saul se tinha acampado; viu David o logar onde se tinha deitado Saul, e Abner, filho de Ner, chefe do seu exercito: e Saul estava deitado dentro do logar dos carros, e o povo estava acampado ao redor d'elle.
6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.
E respondeu David, e fallou a Achimelech, o hetheo, e a Abisai, filho de Zeruia, irmão de Jacob, dizendo: Quem descerá comigo a Saul ao arraial? E disse Abisai: Eu descerei comtigo.
7 So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.
Vieram pois David e Abisai de noite ao povo, e eis que Saul estava deitado dormindo dentro do logar dos carros, e a sua lança estava pregada na terra á sua cabeceira: e Abner e o povo deitavam-se ao redor d'elle.
8 Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.
Então disse Abisai a David: Deus te entregou hoje nas mãos a teu inimigo; deixa-m'o pois agora encravar com a lança d'uma vez com a terra, e não o ferirei segunda vez
9 And David said to Abishai Do not put him to death; for who, without sin, may put out his hand against the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil?
E disse David a Abisai: Nenhum damno lhe faças: porque quem estendeu a sua mão contra o ungido do Senhor, e ficou innocente?
10 And David said, By the living Lord, the Lord will send destruction on him; the natural day of his death will come, or he will go into the fight and come to his end.
Disse mais David: Vive o Senhor, que o Senhor o ferirá, ou o seu dia chegará em que morra, ou descerá para a batalha e perecerá;
11 Never will my hand be stretched out against the man marked with the holy oil; but take the spear which is by his head and the vessel of water, and let us go.
O Senhor me guarde, de que eu estenda a mão contra o ungido do Senhor: agora porém toma lá a lança que está á sua cabeceira e a bilha da agua, e vamo-nos.
12 So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.
Tomou pois David a lança e a bilha da agua, da cabeceira de Saul, e foram-se: e ninguem houve que o visse, nem que o advertisse, nem que acordasse; porque todos estavam dormindo, porque havia caido sobre elles um profundo somno do Senhor.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;
E David, passando á outra banda, poz-se no cume do monte ao longe, de maneira que entre elles havia grande distancia.
14 And crying out to the people and to Abner, the son of Ner, David said, Have you no answer to give, Abner? Then Abner said, Who is that crying out to the king?
E David bradou ao povo, e a Abner, filho de Ner, dizendo: Não responderás, Abner? Então Abner respondeu e disse: Quem és tu, que bradas ao rei
15 And David said to Abner, Are you not a man of war? is there any other like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? for one of the people came in to put the king your lord to death.
Então disse David a Abner: Porventura não és varão? e quem ha em Israel como tu, porque, pois, não guardaste tu o rei teu senhor? porque um do povo veiu para destruir o rei teu senhor.
16 What you have done is not good. By the living Lord, death is the right fate for you, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil. Now see, where is the king's spear, and the vessel of water which was by his head?
Não é bom isto, que fizeste; vive o Senhor, que sois dignos de morte, vós que não guardastes a vosso senhor, o ungido do Senhor: vede pois agora onde está a lança do rei, e a bilha da agua, que tinha á sua cabeceira.
17 And Saul, conscious that the voice was David's, said, Is that your voice, David, my son? And David said, It is my voice, O my lord king.
Então conheceu Saul a voz de David, e disse: Não é esta a tua voz, meu filho David? E disse David: Minha voz é, ó rei meu senhor.
18 And he said, Why does my lord go armed against his servant? what have I done? or what evil is there in me?
Disse mais: Porque persegue o meu senhor assim o seu servo? porque, que fiz eu? e que maldade se acha nas minhas mãos?
19 Let my lord the king give ear now to the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who is moving you against me, let him take an offering: but if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, for driving me out today and keeping me from my place in the heritage of the Lord, saying, Go, be the servant of other gods.
Ouve pois agora, te rogo, rei meu senhor, as palavras de teu servo: Se o Senhor te incita contra mim, cheire elle a offerta de manjares; porém se os filhos dos homens, malditos sejam perante o Senhor: pois elles me teem expellido hoje para que eu não fique apegado á herança do Senhor, dizendo: Vae, serve a outros deuses.
20 Then do not let my blood be drained out on the earth away from the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel has come out to take my life, like one going after birds in the mountains.
Agora pois não se derrame o meu sangue na terra diante do Senhor: pois saiu o rei d'Israel em busca d'uma pulga; como quem persegue uma perdiz nos montes.
21 Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.
Então disse Saul: Pequei; volta, meu filho David, porque não ordenarei a fazer-te mal; porque foi hoje preciosa a minha vida aos teus olhos: eis que fiz loucamente, e errei grandissimamente.
22 Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.
David então respondeu, e disse: Eis aqui a lança do rei; passe cá um dos mancebos, e leve-a.
23 And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.
O Senhor porém pague a cada um a sua justiça e a sua lealdade; pois o Senhor te tinha dado hoje na minha mão, porém não quiz estender a minha mão contra o ungido do Senhor.
24 And so, as your life was dear to me today, may my life be dear to the Lord, and may he make me free from all my troubles.
E eis que assim como foi a tua vida hoje de tanta estima aos meus olhos, d'outra tanta estima seja a minha vida aos olhos do Senhor, e elle me livre de toda a tribulação.
25 Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.
Então Saul disse a David: Bemdito sejas tu, meu filho David; pois grandes coisas farás e tambem prevalecerás. Então David se foi pelo seu caminho e Saul voltou para o seu logar.
