< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's house heard it, they went down there 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 Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became 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 David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, until 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 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
E trouxe-os perante o rei dos moabitas, e ficaram com elle todos os dias que David esteve no logar forte.
5 The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah." Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
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 Saul heard that David had been discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree at the high place, with 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 And he said to them, "Hear now, you Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he 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 who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has 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 Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered 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 He inquired of God for him, gave him food, 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 son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who 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 Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub." 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 Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired 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, "Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and a commander over your bodyguard, and honored in your 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 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows 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 The king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father's house."
Porém o rei disse: Achimelech, morrerás certamente, tu e toda a casa de teu pae.
17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn, and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on 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 The king said to Doeg, "Turn and attack the priests." Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore 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 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep.
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 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 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
E Abiathar annunciou a David que Saul tinha matado os sacerdotes do Senhor.
22 Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for all the lives of your 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 Stay with me, do not be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard."
Fica comigo, não temas, porque quem procurar a minha morte tambem procurará a tua, pois estarás salvo comigo.
