1 Samuel 25

1 Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.

E falleceu Samuel, e todo o Israel se ajuntou, e o prantearam, e o sepultaram na sua casa, em Rama. E David, se levantou e desceu ao deserto de Paran.

2 There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

E havia um homem em Maon, que tinha as suas possessões no Carmelo: e era este homem mui poderoso, e tinha tres mil ovelhas e mil cabras: e estava tosquiando as suas ovelhas no Carmelo.

3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings; and the man was a Calebite.

E era o nome d'este homem Nabal, e o nome de sua mulher Abigail; e era a mulher de bom entendimento e formosa, porém o homem era duro, e maligno nas obras, e era da casa de Caleb.

4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

E ouviu David no deserto que Nabal tosquiava as suas ovelhas,

5 So David sent ten young men, and said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

E enviou David dez mancebos, e disse aos mancebos: Subi ao Carmelo, e, vindo a Nabal, perguntae-lhe, em meu nome, como está.

6 Thus you are to say to my brother, 'Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

E assim direis áquelle prospero: Paz tenhas, e que a tua casa tenha paz, e tudo o que tens tenha paz!

7 And now, look, I have heard that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us in the wilderness, and we did not hurt them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.

Agora, pois, tenho ouvido que tens tosquiadores: ora os pastores que tens estiveram comnosco; aggravo nenhum lhes fizemos, nem coisa alguma lhes faltou todos os dias que estiveram no Carmelo.

8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.'"

Pergunta-o aos teus mancebos, e elles t'o dirão; estes mancebos pois achem graça em teus olhos, porque viemos em bom dia: dá pois a teus servos e a David, teu filho, o que achares á mão

9 So the young men came and spoke to Nabal according to all those words on David's behalf, but he behaved arrogantly.

Chegando pois os mancebos de David, e fallando a Nabal todas aquellas palavras em nome de David, se calaram.

10 Nabal answered David's servants, and said, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

E Nabal respondeu aos creados de David, e disse: Quem é David, e quem o filho de Jessé? muitos servos ha hoje, que cada um foge a seu senhor.

11 Shall I then take my bread, and my wine, and my meat that I have slaughtered for the shearers of my sheep, and give it to men who I do not know where they come from?"

Tomaria eu pois o meu pão, e a minha agua, e a carne das minhas rezes que degolei para os meus tosquiadores, e o daria a homens que eu não sei d'onde veem?

12 So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

Então os mancebos de David se tornaram para o seu caminho: e voltaram, e vieram, e lhe annunciaram tudo conforme a todas estas palavras.

13 David said to his men, "Every man put on his sword." So every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David; and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

Pelo que disse David aos seus homens: Cada um cinja a sua espada. E cada um cingiu a sua espada, e cingiu tambem David a sua: e subiram após David uns quatrocentos homens, e duzentos ficaram com a bagagem.

14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them.

Porém um d'entre os mancebos o annunciou a Abigail, mulher de Nabal, dizendo: Eis que David enviou mensageiros desde o deserto a saudar o nosso amo; porém elle se lançou a elles.

15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.

Todavia, aquelles homens teem-nos sido muito bons, e nunca fomos aggravados d'elles, e nada nos faltou em todos os dias que conversámos com elles quando estavamos no campo.

16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

De muro em redor nos serviram, assim de dia como de noite, todos os dias que andámos com elles apascentando as ovelhas.

17 Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can't speak to him."

Olha pois, agora, e vê o que has de fazer, porque já de todo determinado está o mal contra o nosso amo e contra toda a sua casa, e elle é um tal filho de Belial, que não ha quem lhe possa fallar.

18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

Então Abigail se apressou, e tomou duzentos pães, e dois odres de vinho, e cinco ovelhas guisadas, e cinco medidas de trigo tostado, e cem cachos de passas, e duzentas pastas de figos passados, e os poz sobre jumentos.

19 She said to her young men, "Go on before me. Look, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband.

E disse aos seus mancebos: Ide adiante de mim, eis que vos seguirei de perto. O que, porém, não declarou a seu marido Nabal.

20 It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that look, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

E succedeu que, andando ella montada n'um jumento, desceu pelo encoberto do monte, e eis que David e os seus homens lhe vinham ao encontro, e encontrou-se com elles.

21 Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.

E disse David: Na verdade que em vão tenho guardado tudo quanto este tem no deserto, e nada lhe faltou de tudo quanto tem, e elle me pagou mal por bem.

22 God do so to David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."

Assim faça Deus aos inimigos de David, e outro tanto, se eu deixar até á manhã de tudo o que tem, mesmo até um menino.

23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and got off from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground at his feet.

Vendo pois Abigail a David, apressou-se, e desceu do jumento, e prostrou-se sobre o seu rosto diante de David, e se inclinou á terra.

24 And she said, "On me, my lord, be the guilt; and please let your servant speak to you directly, and hear the words of your servant.

E lançou-se a seus pés, e disse: Ah, Senhor meu, minha seja a transgressão; deixa pois fallar a tua serva aos teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras da tua serva.

25 Please do not let my lord regard this worthless fellow, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom you sent.

Meu senhor, agora não faça este homem de Belial, a saber, Nabal, impressão no seu coração, porque tal é elle qual é o seu nome. Nabal é o seu nome, e a loucura está com elle, e eu, tua serva, não vi os mancebos de meu senhor, que enviaste.

26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Agora, pois, meu senhor, vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que o Senhor te impediu de vires com sangue, e de que a tua mão te salvasse: e, agora, taes quaes Nabal sejam os teus inimigos e os que procuram mal contra o meu senhor.

27 Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

E agora esta é a benção que trouxe a tua serva a meu senhor: dê-se aos mancebos que andam após das pisadas de meu senhor.

28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.

Perdôa pois á tua serva esta transgressão, porque certamente fará o Senhor casa firme a meu senhor, porque meu senhor guerreia as guerras do Senhor, e não se tem achado mal em ti por todos os teus dias

29 Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

E, levantando-se algum homem para te perseguir, e para procurar a tua morte; comtudo a vida de meu senhor será atada no feixe dos que vivem com o Senhor teu Deus; porém a vida de teus inimigos se arrojará ao longe, como do meio do concavo de uma funda.

30 It shall come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,

E ha de ser que, usando o Senhor com o meu senhor conforme a todo o bem que já tem dito de ti, e te tiver estabelecido chefe sobre Israel,

31 that this will have no cause of grief or a troubled conscience for my lord, that blood was shed without cause and that my lord has gained victory by his own hand. And when the LORD has done well with my lord, then remember your servant."

Então, meu senhor, não te será por tropeço, nem por pezar no coração, o sangue que sem causa derramaste, nem tão pouco o haver-se salvado meu senhor a si mesmo: e quando o Senhor fizer bem a meu senhor, lembra-te então da tua serva.

32 David said to Abigail, "Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.

Então David disse a Abigail: Bemdito o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje te enviou ao meu encontro.

33 Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

E bemdito o teu conselho, e bemdita tu, que hoje me estorvaste de vir com sangue, e de que a minha mão me salvasse.

34 For indeed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."

Porque, na verdade, vive o Senhor Deus d'Israel, que me impediu de que te fizesse mal, que se tu não te apressaras, e me não vieras ao encontro, não ficaria a Nabal pela luz da manhã nem mesmo um menino.

35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. Look, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request."

Então David tomou da sua mão o que tinha trazido, e lhe disse: Sobe em paz á tua casa; vês aqui que tenho dado ouvidos á tua voz, e tenho acceitado a tua face

36 Abigail came to Nabal; and look, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

E, vindo Abigail a Nabal, eis que tinha em sua casa um banquete, como banquete de rei; e o coração de Nabal estava alegre n'elle, e elle já mui embriagado, pelo que não lhe deu a entender palavra alguma, pequena nem grande, até á luz da manhã

37 It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

Succedeu pois que pela manhã, havendo já saido de Nabal o vinho, sua mulher lhe deu a entender aquellas palavras: e se amorteceu n'elle, o seu coração, e ficou elle como pedra.

38 It happened about ten days after, that the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.

E aconteceu que, passados quasi dez dias, feriu o Senhor a Nabal, e este morreu.

39 And David heard, and he said, "Blessed is the LORD, who has taken my side in the matter of Nabal's insult, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.

E, ouvindo David que Nabal morrera, disse: Bemdito seja o Senhor, que pleiteou o pleito da minha affronta da mão de Nabal, e deteve a seu servo do mal, fazendo o Senhor tornar o mal de Nabal sobre a sua cabeça. E mandou David fallar a Abigail, para tomal-a por sua mulher.

40 When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you, to take you to be his wife."

Vindo pois os creados de David a Abigail, no Carmelo, lhe fallaram, dizendo: David nos tem mandado a ti, para te tomar por sua mulher.

41 She got up and bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, "Look, your servant is a lowly servant to wash the feet of your servants."

Então ella se levantou, e se inclinou com o rosto em terra, e disse: Eis aqui a tua serva servirá de creada para lavar os pés dos creados de meu senhor.

42 Then Abigail got up quickly and rode on a donkey, and with five female servants following her; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.

E Abigail se apressou, e se levantou, e montou n'um jumento com as suas cinco moças que seguiam as suas pisadas: e ella seguiu os mensageiros de David, e foi sua mulher.

43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.

Tambem tomou David a Achinoam de Jizreel: e tambem ambas foram suas mulheres.

44 Now Saul had given Mikal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

Porque Saul tinha dado sua filha Michal, mulher de David, a Phalti, filho de Lais, o qual era de Gallim.
