1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
E falleceu Samuel, e todo o Israel se ajuntou, e o prantearam, e o sepultaram na sua casa, em Rama. E David, se levantou e desceu ao deserto de Paran.
2 And there was a man at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.
E havia um homem em Maon, que tinha as suas possessões no Carmelo: e era este homem mui poderoso, e tinha tres mil ovelhas e mil cabras: e estava tosquiando as suas ovelhas no Carmelo.
3 And the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite.
E era o nome d'este homem Nabal, e o nome de sua mulher Abigail; e era a mulher de bom entendimento e formosa, porém o homem era duro, e maligno nas obras, e era da casa de Caleb.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
E ouviu David no deserto que Nabal tosquiava as suas ovelhas,
5 Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
E enviou David dez mancebos, e disse aos mancebos: Subi ao Carmelo, e, vindo a Nabal, perguntae-lhe, em meu nome, como está.
6 And thus shall ye say: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast!
E assim direis áquelle prospero: Paz tenhas, e que a tua casa tenha paz, e tudo o que tens tenha paz!
7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while they were in Carmel.
Agora, pois, tenho ouvido que tens tosquiadores: ora os pastores que tens estiveram comnosco; aggravo nenhum lhes fizemos, nem coisa alguma lhes faltou todos os dias que estiveram no Carmelo.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David.
Pergunta-o aos teus mancebos, e elles t'o dirão; estes mancebos pois achem graça em teus olhos, porque viemos em bom dia: dá pois a teus servos e a David, teu filho, o que achares á mão
9 And David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Chegando pois os mancebos de David, e fallando a Nabal todas aquellas palavras em nome de David, se calaram.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.
E Nabal respondeu aos creados de David, e disse: Quem é David, e quem o filho de Jessé? muitos servos ha hoje, que cada um foge a seu senhor.
11 And shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men whom I know not whence they are?
Tomaria eu pois o meu pão, e a minha agua, e a carne das minhas rezes que degolei para os meus tosquiadores, e o daria a homens que eu não sei d'onde veem?
12 And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those words.
Então os mancebos de David se tornaram para o seu caminho: e voltaram, e vieram, e lhe annunciaram tudo conforme a todas estas palavras.
13 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.
Pelo que disse David aos seus homens: Cada um cinja a sua espada. E cada um cingiu a sua espada, e cingiu tambem David a sua: e subiram após David uns quatrocentos homens, e duzentos ficaram com a bagagem.
14 And one of [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them.
Porém um d'entre os mancebos o annunciou a Abigail, mulher de Nabal, dizendo: Eis que David enviou mensageiros desde o deserto a saudar o nosso amo; porém elle se lançou a elles.
15 And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields.
Todavia, aquelles homens teem-nos sido muito bons, e nunca fomos aggravados d'elles, e nada nos faltou em todos os dias que conversámos com elles quando estavamos no campo.
16 They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding the sheep.
De muro em redor nos serviram, assim de dia como de noite, todos os dias que andámos com elles apascentando as ovelhas.
17 And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot speak to him.
Olha pois, agora, e vê o que has de fazer, porque já de todo determinado está o mal contra o nosso amo e contra toda a sua casa, e elle é um tal filho de Belial, que não ha quem lhe possa fallar.
18 And Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, and laid them on asses.
Então Abigail se apressou, e tomou duzentos pães, e dois odres de vinho, e cinco ovelhas guisadas, e cinco medidas de trigo tostado, e cem cachos de passas, e duzentas pastas de figos passados, e os poz sobre jumentos.
19 And she said to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
E disse aos seus mancebos: Ide adiante de mim, eis que vos seguirei de perto. O que, porém, não declarou a seu marido Nabal.
20 And as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to her; and she met them.
E succedeu que, andando ella montada n'um jumento, desceu pelo encoberto do monte, e eis que David e os seus homens lhe vinham ao encontro, e encontrou-se com elles.
21 Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good.
E disse David: Na verdade que em vão tenho guardado tudo quanto este tem no deserto, e nada lhe faltou de tudo quanto tem, e elle me pagou mal por bem.
22 So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.
Assim faça Deus aos inimigos de David, e outro tanto, se eu deixar até á manhã de tudo o que tem, mesmo até um menino.
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
Vendo pois Abigail a David, apressou-se, e desceu do jumento, e prostrou-se sobre o seu rosto diante de David, e se inclinou á terra.
24 and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
E lançou-se a seus pés, e disse: Ah, Senhor meu, minha seja a transgressão; deixa pois fallar a tua serva aos teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras da tua serva.
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
Meu senhor, agora não faça este homem de Belial, a saber, Nabal, impressão no seu coração, porque tal é elle qual é o seu nome. Nabal é o seu nome, e a loucura está com elle, e eu, tua serva, não vi os mancebos de meu senhor, que enviaste.
26 And now, my lord, [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Agora, pois, meu senhor, vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que o Senhor te impediu de vires com sangue, e de que a tua mão te salvasse: e, agora, taes quaes Nabal sejam os teus inimigos e os que procuram mal contra o meu senhor.
27 And now this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow my lord.
E agora esta é a benção que trouxe a tua serva a meu senhor: dê-se aos mancebos que andam após das pisadas de meu senhor.
28 I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days.
Perdôa pois á tua serva esta transgressão, porque certamente fará o Senhor casa firme a meu senhor, porque meu senhor guerreia as guerras do Senhor, e não se tem achado mal em ti por todos os teus dias
29 And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the sling.
E, levantando-se algum homem para te perseguir, e para procurar a tua morte; comtudo a vida de meu senhor será atada no feixe dos que vivem com o Senhor teu Deus; porém a vida de teus inimigos se arrojará ao longe, como do meio do concavo de uma funda.
30 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel,
E ha de ser que, usando o Senhor com o meu senhor conforme a todo o bem que já tem dito de ti, e te tiver estabelecido chefe sobre Israel,
31 that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
Então, meu senhor, não te será por tropeço, nem por pezar no coração, o sangue que sem causa derramaste, nem tão pouco o haver-se salvado meu senhor a si mesmo: e quando o Senhor fizer bem a meu senhor, lembra-te então da tua serva.
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me.
Então David disse a Abigail: Bemdito o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje te enviou ao meu encontro.
33 And blessed be thy discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
E bemdito o teu conselho, e bemdita tu, que hoje me estorvaste de vir com sangue, e de que a minha mão me salvasse.
34 But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.
Porque, na verdade, vive o Senhor Deus d'Israel, que me impediu de que te fizesse mal, que se tu não te apressaras, e me não vieras ao encontro, não ficaria a Nabal pela luz da manhã nem mesmo um menino.
35 So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
Então David tomou da sua mão o que tinha trazido, e lhe disse: Sobe em paz á tua casa; vês aqui que tenho dado ouvidos á tua voz, e tenho acceitado a tua face
36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
E, vindo Abigail a Nabal, eis que tinha em sua casa um banquete, como banquete de rei; e o coração de Nabal estava alegre n'elle, e elle já mui embriagado, pelo que não lhe deu a entender palavra alguma, pequena nem grande, até á luz da manhã
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
Succedeu pois que pela manhã, havendo já saido de Nabal o vinho, sua mulher lhe deu a entender aquellas palavras: e se amorteceu n'elle, o seu coração, e ficou elle como pedra.
38 And it came to pass in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and he died.
E aconteceu que, passados quasi dez dias, feriu o Senhor a Nabal, e este morreu.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife.
E, ouvindo David que Nabal morrera, disse: Bemdito seja o Senhor, que pleiteou o pleito da minha affronta da mão de Nabal, e deteve a seu servo do mal, fazendo o Senhor tornar o mal de Nabal sobre a sua cabeça. E mandou David fallar a Abigail, para tomal-a por sua mulher.
40 And the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife.
Vindo pois os creados de David a Abigail, no Carmelo, lhe fallaram, dizendo: David nos tem mandado a ti, para te tomar por sua mulher.
41 And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
Então ella se levantou, e se inclinou com o rosto em terra, e disse: Eis aqui a tua serva servirá de creada para lavar os pés dos creados de meu senhor.
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
E Abigail se apressou, e se levantou, e montou n'um jumento com as suas cinco moças que seguiam as suas pisadas: e ella seguiu os mensageiros de David, e foi sua mulher.
43 David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.
Tambem tomou David a Achinoam de Jizreel: e tambem ambas foram suas mulheres.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Porque Saul tinha dado sua filha Michal, mulher de David, a Phalti, filho de Lais, o qual era de Gallim.
