1 Samuel 23
1 Then 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 Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and strike these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and strike 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 And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come 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 Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your 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 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and stroke 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, that 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 was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God has delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town 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 called all the people together 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 David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod.
Sabendo pois David, que Saul maquinava este mal contra elle, disse a Abiathar, sacerdote: Traze aqui o ephod.
10 Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks 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 men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I plead to you, tell your servant. And the LORD 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 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver you 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, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went anywhere they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he ceased 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 strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not 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 was 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 unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto you; 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 the LORD: 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 Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
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 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him 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 all of you of the LORD; for all of you have compassion on me.
Então disse Saul: Bemditos sejaes vós do Senhor, porque vos compadecestes de mim.
22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there: for it is told me that he deals very subtlely.
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 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself, and come all of you again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all 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 Jeshimon.
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 Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, 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 for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about 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 unto Saul, saying, Haste you, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
Então veiu um mensageiro a Saul, dizendo: Apressa-te, e vem, porque os philisteos com impeto entraram na terra.
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.
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 dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
E subiu David d'ali, e ficou nos logares fortes de Engedi.
