1 Samuel 23
1 And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-floors.
E foi annunciado a David, dizendo: Eis que os philisteos pelejam contra Keila, e saqueiam as eiras.
2 And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
E consultou David ao Senhor, dizendo: Irei eu, e ferirei a estes philisteos? E disse o Senhor a David: Vae, e ferirás aos philisteos, e livrarás a Keila.
3 But David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
Porém os homens de David lhe disseram: Eis que tememos aqui em Judah, quanto mais indo a Keila contra os esquadrões dos philisteos.
4 And David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into thy hand.
Então David tornou a consultar ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe respondeu, e disse: Levanta-te, desce a Keila, porque te dou os philisteos na tua mão.
5 And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Então David partiu com os seus homens a Keila, e pelejou contra os philisteos, e levou os gados, e fez grande estrago entre elles: e David livrou os moradores de Keila.
6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
E succedeu que, quando Abiathar, filho de Achimelech, fugiu para David, a Keila, desceu com o ephod na mão.
7 And it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. Then Saul said, God has cast him off into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a city that has gates and bars.
E foi annunciado a Saul que David era vindo a Keila, e disse Saul: Deus o entregou nas minhas mãos, pois está encerrado, entrando n'uma cidade de portas e ferrolhos.
8 And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
Então Saul mandou chamar a todo o povo á peleja, para que descessem a Keila, para cercar a David e os seus homens.
9 And when David knew that Saul devised mischief against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod.
Sabendo pois David, que Saul maquinava este mal contra elle, disse a Abiathar, sacerdote: Traze aqui o ephod.
10 Then said David, Jehovah, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
E disse David: Ó Senhor, Deus de Israel, teu servo decerto tem ouvido que Saul procura vir a Keila, para destruir a cidade por causa de mim.
11 Will the citizens of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down.
Entregar-me-hão os cidadãos de Keila na sua mão? descerá Saul, como o teu servo tem ouvido? ah Senhor Deus d'Israel! fal-o saber ao teu servo. E disse o Senhor: Descerá.
12 And David said, Will the citizens of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver [thee] up.
Disse mais David: Entregar-me-hiam os cidadãos de Keila, a mim e aos meus homens, nas mãos de Saul? E disse o Senhor: Entregariam.
13 Then David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, and he forbore to go forth.
Então se levantou David com os seus homens, uns seiscentos, e sairam de Keila, e foram-se aonde poderam: e sendo annunciado a Saul, que David escapara de Keila, cessou de sair contra elle.
14 And David abode in the wilderness in strongholds, and abode in the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.
E David permaneceu no deserto, nos logares fortes, e ficou em um monte no deserto de Ziph: e Saul o buscava todos os dias, porém Deus não o entregou na sua mão.
15 And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life; and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
Vendo pois David, que Saul sairá á busca da sua vida, David esteve no deserto de Ziph, n'um bosque.
16 And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
Então se levantou Jonathan, filho de Saul, e foi para David ao bosque, e confortou a sua mão em Deus;
17 And he said to him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; and that also Saul my father knows.
E disse-lhe: Não temas, que não te achará a mão de Saul, meu pae, porém tu reinarás sobre Israel, e eu serei comtigo o segundo: o que tambem Saul meu pae, bem sabe.
18 And they two made a covenant before Jehovah; and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
E ambos fizeram alliança perante o Senhor: David ficou no bosque, e Jonathan voltou para a sua casa.
19 And the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strongholds in the wood, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the waste?
Então subiram os zipheos a Saul, a Gibeah, dizendo: Não se escondeu David entre nós, nos logares fortes no bosque, no outeiro de Hachila, que está á mão direita de Jesimon?
20 And now, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and it will be for us to deliver him up into the king's hand.
Agora pois, ó rei, apressadamente desce conforme a todo o desejo da tua alma; por nós fica entregar-mol-o nas mãos do rei.
21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of Jehovah; for ye have compassion upon me.
Então disse Saul: Bemditos sejaes vós do Senhor, porque vos compadecestes de mim.
22 Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his track is, who has seen him there; for it is told me that he deals very subtilly.
Ide pois, e diligenciae ainda mais, e sabei e notae o logar que frequenta, e quem o tenha visto ali; porque me foi dito que é astutissimo.
23 And see, and ascertain all the lurking-places where he hides himself, and come ye again to me with sure information, that I may go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout the thousands of Judah.
Pelo que attentae bem, e informae-vos ácerca de todos os esconderijos, em que elle se esconde; e então voltae para mim com toda a certeza, e ir-me-hei comvosco; e ha de ser que, se estiver n'aquella terra, o buscarei entre todos os milhares de Judah.
24 And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of the waste.
Então se levantaram elles, e se foram a Ziph, diante de Saul: David porém e os seus homens estavam no deserto de Maon, na campanha, á direita de Jesimon.
25 And Saul and his men went to seek [him]. And they told David; and he came down from the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And Saul heard [that], and he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
E Saul e os seus homens se foram em busca d'elle; o que annunciaram a David, e desceu para aquella penha, e ficou no deserto de Maon: o que ouvindo Saul, seguiu a David para o deserto de Maon.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away from Saul; and Saul and his men sought to surround David and his men to take them.
E Saul ia d'esta banda do monte, e David e os seus homens da outra banda do monte: e succedeu que David se apressou a escapar de Saul; Saul porém e os seus homens cercaram a David e aos seus homens, para lançar mão d'elles.
27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee and come; for the Philistines have made a raid against the land.
Então veiu um mensageiro a Saul, dizendo: Apressa-te, e vem, porque os philisteos com impeto entraram na terra.
28 And Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.
Pelo que Saul voltou de perseguir a David, e foi-se ao encontro dos philisteos: por esta razão aquelle logar se chamou Sela-hammahlecoth.
29 And David went up from thence, and abode in the strongholds of Engedi.
E subiu David d'ali, e ficou nos logares fortes de Engedi.
