1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned 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 had taken captive the women [and all] that were therein, both small and great: they slew not any, but carried them off, and went 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 when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
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 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more 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 David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the 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 was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
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 said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod 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 inquired of the LORD, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and shalt without fail recover [all].
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 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
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 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook 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 found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink:
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 they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, 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 said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
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 made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon 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 said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee 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 when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had 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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels and fled.
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 recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: and David rescued his two wives.
Assim livrou David tudo quanto tomaram aos amalequitas: também as suas duas mulheres livrou David.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David brought back all.
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 took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, 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 came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
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 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart.
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 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came 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 will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall 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 was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, unto 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 when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
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 them which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in Ramoth of the South, and to them which were in Jattir;
Aos de bethel, e aos de Ramoth do sul, e aos de Jatter,
28 and to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa;
E aos de Aroer, e aos de Siphmoth, e aos de Esthemoa,
29 and to them which were in Racal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were 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 them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Cor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach;
E aos de Horma, e aos de Corasan, e aos de Athak,
31 and to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
E aos de Hebron, e a todos os lugares em que andara David, ele e os seus homens.
