1 Samuel 21
1 And David came to Nob to Achimelech the priest; and Achimelech hastened trembling to meet David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man is with thee?
E veio Davi a Nobe, a Aimeleque sacerdote: e surpreendeu-se Aimeleque de seu encontro, e disse-lhe: Como tu somente, e ninguém contigo?
2 And David said unto Achimelech the priest, The king commanded me a business, and said unto me, Let not any man know the least of the business concerning which I send thee, and which I have commanded thee. And the young men have I appointed to such and such a place.
E respondeu Davi ao sacerdote Aimeleque: O rei me encomendou um negócio, e me disse: Ninguém saiba coisa alguma deste negócio a que eu te envio, e que eu te mandei; e eu assinalei aos criados certo lugar.
3 And now what hast thou on hand: put five loaves of bread into my hand, or what else can be found.
Agora, pois, o que tens à mão? Dá-me cinco pães, ou o que se achar.
4 And the priest answered David, and said, I have no common bread on hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have only withheld themselves from women.
E o sacerdote respondeu a Davi, e disse: Não tenho pão comum à mão; somente tenho pão sagrado: mas o darei se os criados se abstiveram de mulheres.
5 And David answered the priest and said to him, To a certainty women have been denied us yesterday and the day before, when I went forth, and the vessels of the young men were holy: and if this was the custom with unholy things, how much more will it remain this day holy in the vessels.
E Davi respondeu ao sacerdote, e disse-lhe: Certamente as mulheres nos foram afastadas desde anteontem quando saí, e os instrumentos dos moços foram santos, ainda que a jornada seja comum; quanto mais que hoje haverá outro pão santificado nos vasos.
6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread; for there was no bread there except the showbread, that was removed from before the Lord, so as to put down hot bread on the day when it was taken away.
Assim o sacerdote lhe deu o pão sagrado, porque ali não havia outro pão que os pães da proposição, os quais haviam sido tirados de diante do SENHOR, para que se pusessem pães quentes o dia que os outros foram tirados.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there on that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul.
Aquele dia estava ali um dos servos de Saul detido diante do SENHOR, o nome do qual era Doegue, edomita, principal dos pastores de Saul.
8 And David said unto Achimelech, Hast thou not also here at hand a spear or sword: for both my sword as also my other weapons have I not brought with me, because the king's business was urgent.
E Davi disse a Aimeleque: Não tens aqui à mão lança ou espada? Porque não tomei em minha mão minha espada nem minhas armas, porquanto o mandamento do rei era urgente.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst slay in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that for thyself, take it; for there is no other save it here. And David said, There is none like that: give it to me.
E o sacerdote respondeu: A espada de Golias o filisteu, que tu venceste no vale de Elá, está aqui embrulhada em um véu detrás do éfode: se tu queres tomá-la, toma-a: porque aqui não há outra a não ser essa. E disse Davi: Nenhuma como ela: dá-a a mim.
10 And David arose, and fled on that day from before Saul, and came to Achish the king of Gath.
E levantando-se Davi aquele dia, fugiu da presença de Saul, e veio a Aquis rei de Gate.
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not of this man sing one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
E os servos de Aquis lhe disseram: Não é este Davi, o rei da terra? Não é este a quem cantavam em danças, dizendo: Feriu Saul seus milhares, E Davi seus dez milhares?
12 And David took these words to his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
E Davi pôs em seu coração estas palavras, e teve grande temor de Aquis rei de Gate.
13 And he disguised his reason before their eyes, and played the madman in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down upon his beard.
E mudou sua fala diante deles, e fingiu-se de louco entre suas mãos, e riscava nas entradas das portas, deixando escorrer sua saliva por sua barba.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see, the man is mad: wherefore then will ye bring him to me?
E disse Aquis a seus servos: Eis que estais vendo um homem demente; por que o trouxestes a mim?
15 Have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this man to play his pranks about me? shall this one come into my house?
Faltam a mim loucos, para que trouxésseis este que fizesse de louco diante de mim? havia de vir este à minha casa?
