1 Samuel 30
1 And it comes to pass, in the coming in of David and his men to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites have pushed toward the south, and to Ziklag, and strike Ziklag, and burn it with fire,
Sucedeu pois que, chegando David e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Siclag, já os amalequitas com ímpeto tinham dado sobre o sul, e sobre Siclag, e tinham ferido a Siclag e a tinham queimado a fogo.
2 and they take the women who [are] in it captive; they have not put anyone to death from small to great, and they lead [them] away, and go on their way.
E as mulheres que estavam nela levaram cativas, porém a ninguém mataram, nem pequenos nem grandes; tão somente os levaram consigo, e foram pelo seu caminho.
3 And David comes in—and his men—to the city, and behold, [it is] burned with fire, and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters have been taken captive.
E David e os seus homens vieram à cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas eram levados cativos.
4 And David lifts up—and the people who [are] with him—their voice and weep, until they have no power to weep.
Então David e o povo que se achava com ele alçaram a sua voz, e choraram, até que neles não houve mais força para chorar.
5 And the two wives of David have been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
Também as duas mulheres de David foram levadas cativas; Achinoam, a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita.
6 and David has great distress, for the people have said to stone him, for the soul of all the people has been bitter, each for his sons and for his daughters; and David strengthens himself in his God YHWH.
E David muito se angustiou, porque o povo falava de apedreja-lo, porque o ânimo 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 David says to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod near to me”; and Abiathar brings the ephod near to David,
E disse David a Abiathar, o sacerdote, filho de Achimelech: Traze-me, peço-te, aqui o éfode. E Abiathar trouxe o éfode a David.
8 and David inquires of YHWH, saying, “I pursue after this troop—do I overtake it?” And He says to him, “Pursue, for you certainly overtake, and certainly deliver.”
Então consultou David ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? alcança-la-ei? E o Senhor lhe disse: Persegue-a, porque decerto a alcançarás, e tudo libertarás.
9 And David goes on, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, and they come to the Brook of Besor, and those left have stood still,
Partiu pois David, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde os que ficaram atráz pararam.
10 and David pursues, he and four hundred men (and two hundred men stand still who have been too faint to pass over the Brook of Besor),
E seguiu-os David, ele e os quatrocentos homens, pois que duzentos homens ficaram, por não poderem, de cançados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor.
11 and they find a man, an Egyptian, in the field, and take him to David, and give bread to him, and he eats, and they cause him to drink water,
E acharam no campo um homem egípcio, e o trouxeram a David: deram-lhe pão, e comeu, e deram-lhe a beber água.
12 and give to him a piece of a bunch of dried figs, and two bunches of raisins, and he eats, and his spirit returns to him, for he has not eaten bread nor drunk water [for] three days and three nights.
Deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos e dois cachos de passas, e comeu, e voltou-lhe o seu espírito, porque havia três dias e três noites que não tinha comido pão nem bebido água.
13 And David says to him, “Whose [are] you? And where [are] you from?” And he says, “I [am] an Egyptian youth, servant to a man, an Amalekite, and my lord forsakes me, for I have been sick [for] three days,
Então David lhe disse: De quem és tu, e de onde és? E disse o moço egípcio: Sou servo dum homem amalekita, e meu senhor me deixou, porque adoeci há três dias.
14 we pushed [to] the south of the Cherethite, and against that which [is] to Judah, and against the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
Nós demos com ímpeto para a banda do sul dos cherethitas, e para a banda de Judá, e para a banda do sul de Caleb, e pusemos fogo a Siclag.
15 And David says to him, “Do you bring me down to this troop?” And he says, “Swear to me by God [that] you do not put me to death, nor do you shut me up into the hand of my lord, and I bring you down to this troop.”
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 guiarei a essa tropa.
16 And he brings him down, and behold, they are spread out over the face of all the earth, eating, and drinking, and celebrating, with all the great spoil which they have taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
E, descendo, o guiou e eis que estavam espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra, comendo, e bebendo, e dançando, por todo aquele grande despojo que tomaram da terra dos philisteus e da terra de Judá.
17 And David strikes them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day, and there has not escaped of them a man, except four hundred young men who have ridden on the camels and flee.
E feriu-os David, desde o crepúsculo até à tarde do dia seguinte, e nenhum deles escapou, senão só quatrocentos mancebos que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram.
18 And David delivers all that the Amalekites have taken; David has also delivered his two wives.
Assim livrou David tudo quanto tomaram aos amalequitas: também as suas duas mulheres livrou David.
19 And nothing of theirs has lacked, from small to great, and to sons and daughters, and from the spoil, even to all that they had taken to themselves, David has brought back the whole,
E ninguém lhes faltou, desde o menor até ao maior, e até os filhos e as filhas; e também desde o despojo até tudo quanto lhes tinham tomado, tudo David tornou a trazer.
20 and David takes the whole of the flock and of the herd [that] they have led on before these livestock, and they say, “This [is] David’s spoil.”
Também tomou David todas as ovelhas e vacas, e levavam-nas diante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de David.
21 And David comes to the two hundred men who were too faint to go after David, and whom they cause to abide at the Brook of Besor, and they go out to meet David, and to meet the people who [are] with him, and David approaches the people, and asks of them of welfare.
E, chegando David aos duzentos homens que, de cançados que estavam, não puderam seguir a David, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes sairam ao encontro de David e do povo que com ele vinha: e, chegando-se David ao povo, os saudou em paz.
22 And every bad and worthless man, of the men who have gone with David, answers, indeed, they say, “Because that they have not gone with us we do not give to them of the spoil which we have delivered, except each his wife and his children, and they lead away and go.”
Então todos os maus, e filhos de Belial, dentre os homens que tinham ido com David, responderam, e disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos do despojo que libertamos; mas que leve cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, e se vá.
23 And David says, “You do not do so, my brothers, with that which YHWH has given to us, and He preserves us, and gives the troop which comes against us into our hand;
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 who listens to you in this thing? For as the portion of him who was brought down into battle, so also [is] the portion of him who is abiding by the vessels—they share alike.”
E quem a tal vos daria ouvidos? porque qual é a parte dos que desceram à peleja, tal também será a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; igualmente repartirão.
25 And it comes to pass from that day and forward, that he appoints it for a statute and for an ordinance for Israel to this day.
O que assim foi desde aquele dia em diante, porquanto o pôs por estatuto e direito em Israel até ao dia de hoje.
26 And David comes to Ziklag, and sends of the spoil to [the] elderly of Judah, to his friends, saying, “Behold, a blessing for you of the spoil of the enemies of YHWH,”
E, chegando David a Siclag, enviou do despojo aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis ai para vós uma benção do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor;
27 to those in Beth-El, and to those in South Ramoth, and to those in Jattir,
Aos de bethel, e aos de Ramoth do sul, e aos de Jatter,
28 and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa,
E aos de Aroer, e aos de Siphmoth, e aos de Esthemoa,
29 and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites,
E aos de Rachal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerahmeelitas e nas cidades dos keneos,
30 and to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-Ashan, and to those in Athach,
E aos de Horma, e aos de Corasan, e aos de Athak,
31 and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David—he and his men—had gone up and down.
E aos de Hebron, e a todos os lugares em que andara David, ele e os seus homens.
