< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard [it], they went down thither to him.
Então David se retirou d'ali, e escapou para a caverna de Adullam: e ouviram-n'o seus irmãos e toda a casa de seu pae, e desceram ali para elle.
2 And every one [that was] in distress, and every one that [was] in debt, and every one [that was] discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
E ajuntou-se a elle todo o homem que se achava em aperto, e todo o homem endividado, e todo o homem de espirito desgostoso, e elle se fez chefe d'elles: e eram com elle uns quatrocentos homens.
3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till I know what God will do for me.
E foi-se David d'ali a Mispeh dos moabitas, e disse ao rei dos moabitas: Deixa estar meu pae e minha mãe comvosco, até que saiba o que Deus ha de fazer de mim.
4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
E trouxe-os perante o rei dos moabitas, e ficaram com elle todos os dias que David esteve no logar forte.
5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
Porém o propheta Gad disse a David: Não fiques n'aquelle logar forte; vae, e entra na terra de Judah. Então David se foi, e veiu para o bosque de Chereth.
6 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that [were] with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants [were] standing about him; )
E ouviu Saul que já se sabia de David e dos homens que estavam com elle: e estava Saul em Gibeah, debaixo d'um arvoredo, em Rama, e tinha na mão a sua lança, e todos os seus creados estavam com elle.
7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, [and] make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
Então disse Saul a todos os seus creados que estavam com elle: Ouvi, peço-vos, filhos de Benjamin, dar-vos-ha tambem o filho de Jessé, a todos vós, terras e vinhas, e far-vos-ha a todos chefes de milhares e chefes de centenas?
8 That all of you have conspired against me, and [there is] none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
Para que todos vos tenhaes conspirado contra mim, e ninguem ha que me dê aviso de que meu filho tem feito alliança com o filho de Jessé, e nenhum d'entre vós ha que se dôa de mim, e m'o participe, pois meu filho tem contra mim sublevado a meu servo, para me armar ciladas, como se vê n'este dia.
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
Então respondeu Doeg, o idumeo, que tambem estava com os creados de Saul, e disse: Ao filho de Jessé vi vir a Nob, a Achimelech, filho de Ahitub,
10 And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
O qual consultou por elle ao Senhor, e lhe deu mantimento, e lhe deu tambem a espada de Goliath, o philisteo.
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that [were] in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
Então o rei mandou chamar a Achimelech, sacerdote, filho de Ahitub, e a toda a casa de seu pae, os sacerdotes que estavam em Nob; e todos elles vieram ao rei.
12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I [am], my lord.
E disse Saul: Ouve, peço-te, filho d'Ahitub. E elle disse: Eis-me aqui, senhor meu.
13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
Então lhe disse Saul: Porque conspirastes contra mim, tu e o filho de Jessé? pois deste-lhe pão e espada, e consultaste por elle a Deus, para que se levantasse contra mim a armar-me ciladas, como se vê n'este dia
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who [is so] faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king’s son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
E respondeu Achimelech ao rei, e disse: E quem, entre todos os teus creados, ha tão fiel como David, o genro do rei, prompto na sua obediencia, e honrado na tua casa?
15 Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute [any] thing unto his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
Comecei, porventura, hoje a consultar por elle a Deus? longe de mim tal! não impute o rei coisa nenhuma a seu servo, nem a toda a casa de meu pae, pois o teu servo não soube nada de tudo isso, nem muito nem pouco.
16 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.
Porém o rei disse: Achimelech, morrerás certamente, tu e toda a casa de teu pae.
17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also [is] with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
E disse o rei aos da sua guarda que estavam com elle: Virae-vos, e matae os sacerdotes do Senhor, porque tambem a sua mão é com David, e porque souberam que fugiu e não m'o fizeram saber. Porém os creados do rei não quizeram estender as suas mãos para arremetter contra os sacerdotes do Senhor.
18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
Então disse o rei a Doeg: Vira-te tu, e arremette contra os sacerdotes. Então se virou Doeg, o idumeo, e arremetteu contra os sacerdotes, e matou n'aquelle dia oitenta e cinco homens que vestiam ephod de linho.
19 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
Tambem a Nob, cidade d'estes sacerdotes, passou a fio de espada, desde o homem até á mulher, desde os meninos até aos de mama, e até os bois, jumentos e ovelhas passou a fio de espada.
20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
Porém escapou um dos filhos de Achimelech, filho de Ahitub, cujo nome era Abiathar, o qual fugiu atraz de David.
21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD’s priests.
E Abiathar annunciou a David que Saul tinha matado os sacerdotes do Senhor.
22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew [it] that day, when Doeg the Edomite [was] there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy father’s house.
Então David disse a Abiathar: Bem sabia eu n'aquelle dia que, estando ali Doeg, o idumeo, não deixaria de o denunciar a Saul: eu dei occasião contra todas as almas da casa de teu pae.
23 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard.
Fica comigo, não temas, porque quem procurar a minha morte tambem procurará a tua, pois estarás salvo comigo.
