1 Samuel 30
1 Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire.
Succedeu pois que, chegando David e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Siclag, já os amalekitas com impeto tinham dado sobre o sul, e sobre Siclag, e tinham ferido a Siclag e a tinham queimado a fogo.
2 And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.
E as mulheres que estavam n'ella levaram captivas, porém a ninguem mataram, nem pequenos nem grandes; tão sómente os levaram comsigo, e foram pelo seu caminho.
3 So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,
E David e os seus homens vieram á cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas eram levados captivos.
4 David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.
Então David e o povo que se achava com elle alçaram a sua voz, e choraram, até que n'elles não houve mais força para chorar.
5 For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
Tambem as duas mulheres de David foram levadas captivas; Achinoam, a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita.
6 And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.
E David muito se angustiou, porque o povo fallava de apedrejal-o, porque o animo de todo o povo estava em amargura, cada um por causa dos seus filhos e das suas filhas: todavia David se esforçou no Senhor seu Deus.
7 And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
E disse David a Abiathar, o sacerdote, filho de Achimelech: Traze-me, peço-te, aqui o ephod. E Abiathar trouxe o ephod a David.
8 And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.
Então consultou David ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? alcançal-a-hei? E o Senhor lhe disse: Persegue-a, porque decerto a alcançarás, e tudo libertarás.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.
Partiu pois David, elle e os seiscentos homens que com elle se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde os que ficaram atraz pararam.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over the torrent Besor.
E seguiu-os David, elle e os quatrocentos homens, pois que duzentos homens ficaram, por não poderem, de cançados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,
E acharam no campo um homem egypcio, e o trouxeram a David: deram-lhe pão, e comeu, e deram-lhe a beber agua.
12 As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water three days, and three nights.
Deram-lhe tambem um pedaço de massa de figos seccos e dois cachos de passas, e comeu, e voltou-lhe o seu espirito, porque havia tres dias e tres noites que não tinha comido pão nem bebido agua.
13 And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
Então David lhe disse: De quem és tu, e d'onde és? E disse o moço egypcio: Sou servo d'um homem amalekita, e meu senhor me deixou, porque adoeci ha tres dias.
14 For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire.
Nós démos com impeto para a banda do sul dos cherethitas, e para a banda de Judah, e para a banda do sul de Caleb, e pozemos fogo a Siclag.
15 And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.
E disse-lhe David: Poderias, descendo, guiar-me a essa tropa? E disse-lhe: Por Deus me jura que me não matarás, nem me entregarás na mão de meu senhor, e, descendo, te guiare a essa tropa.
16 And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
E, descendo, o guiou e eis que estavam espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra, comendo, e bebendo, e dançando, por todo aquelle grande despojo que tomaram da terra dos philisteos e da terra de Judah.
17 And David slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.
E feriu-os David, desde o crepusculo até á tarde do dia seguinte, e nenhum d'elles escapou, senão só quatrocentos mancebos que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram.
18 So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
Assim livrou David tudo quanto tomaram aos amalekitas: tambem as suas duas mulheres livrou David.
19 And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered all.
E ninguem lhes faltou, desde o menor até ao maior, e até os filhos e as filhas; e tambem desde o despojo até tudo quanto lhes tinham tomado, tudo David tornou a trazer.
20 And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.
Tambem tomou David todas as ovelhas e vaccas, e levavam-n'as diante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de David.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.
E, chegando David aos duzentos homens que, de cançados que estavam, não poderam seguir a David, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes sairam ao encontro de David e do povo que com elle vinha: e, chegando-se David ao povo, os saudou em paz.
22 Then all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.
Então todos os maus, e filhos de Belial, d'entre os homens que tinham ido com David, responderam, e disseram: Visto que não foram comnosco, não lhes daremos do despojo que libertámos; mas que leve cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, e se vá.
23 But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.
Porém David disse: Não fareis assim, irmãos meus, com o que nos deu o Senhor, que nos guardou, e entregou a tropa que contra nós vinha nas nossas mãos.
24 And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.
E quem a tal vos daria ouvidos? porque qual é a parte dos que desceram á peleja, tal tambem será a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; egualmente repartirão.
25 And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
O que assim foi desde aquelle dia em diante, porquanto o poz por estatuto e direito em Israel até ao dia de hoje.
26 Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.
E, chegando David a Siclag, enviou do despojo aos anciãos de Judah, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis ahi para vós uma benção do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor;
27 To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,
Aos de Beth-el, e aos de Ramoth do sul, e aos de Jatter,
28 And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,
E aos d'Aroer, e aos de Siphmoth, e aos d'Esthemoa,
29 And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,
E aos de Rachal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerahmeelitas e nas cidades dos keneos,
30 And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,
E aos d'Horma, e aos de Corasan, e aos d'Athak,
31 And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
E aos d'Hebron, e a todos os logares em que andara David, elle e os seus homens.
