< 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;
E Quando Davi e os seus vieram a Ziclague o terceiro dia, os de Amaleque haviam invadido o sul e a Ziclague, e haviam assolado a Ziclague, e posto-a 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 haviam-se levado cativas às mulheres que estavam nela, desde a menor até a maior; mas a ninguém haviam matado, mas sim levado, e ido 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.
Veio, pois Davi com os seus à cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres e seus filhos e filhas levadas cativas.
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 Davi e a gente que com ele estava, levantaram sua voz e choraram, até que lhes faltaram as forças para chorar.
5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
As duas mulheres de Davi, Ainoã jezreelita e Abigail a que foi mulher de Nabal do Carmelo, também eram cativas.
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 Davi foi muito angustiado, porque o povo falava de apedrejá-lo; porque todo aquele povo estava com ânimo amargo, cada um por seus filhos e por suas filhas: mas Davi 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 Davi ao sacerdote Abiatar filho de Aimeleque: Eu te rogo que me tragas o éfode. E Abiatar trouxe o éfode a Davi.
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].
E Davi consultou ao SENHOR, dizendo: Seguirei esta tropa? Poderei alcançá-la? E ele lhe disse: Segue-a que de certo a alcançarás, e sem falta livrarás a presa.
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-se, pois, Davi, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele estavam, e vieram até o ribeiro de Besor, de onde se restaram alguns.
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 Davi seguiu o alcance com quatrocentos homens; porque se restaram atrás duzentos, que cansados não puderam 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 acampamento um homem egípcio, o qual trouxeram a Davi, e deram-lhe pão que comesse, e 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 logo que comeu, voltou nele seu espírito; porque não havia comido pão nem bebido água em três dias e três noites.
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.
E disse-lhe Davi: De quem és tu? E de onde és? E respondeu o jovem egípcio: Eu sou servo de um amalequita, e deixou-me meu amo hoje há três dias, porque estava enfermo;
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.
Pois fizemos uma incursão à parte do sul dos queretitas, e a Judá, e ao sul de Calebe; e pusemos fogo a Ziclague.
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 Davi: Tu me levarás a essa tropa? E ele disse: Faze-me juramento por Deus que não me matarás, nem me entregarás nas mãos de meu amo, e eu te levarei a essa gente.
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.
Então o levou-o; e eis que estavam dispersos sobre a face de toda aquela terra, comendo e bebendo e fazendo festa, por toda aquela grande presa que haviam tomado da terra dos filisteus, 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 Davi desde aquela manhã até à tarde do dia seguinte: e não escapou deles nenhum, a não ser quatrocentos rapazes, que haviam subido em camelos e fugiram.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: and David rescued his two wives.
E livrou Davi tudo o que os amalequitas haviam tomado: e também libertou Davi a suas duas mulheres.
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 não lhes faltou coisa pequena nem grande, tanto de filhos como de filhas, do roubo, e de todas as coisas que lhes haviam tomado: todo o recuperou Davi.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
Tomou também Davi todas as ovelhas e gados maiores; e trazendo-o todo adiante, diziam: Esta é a presa de Davi.
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 veio Davi aos duzentos homens que haviam restado cansados e não haviam podido perseguir a Davi, aos quais haviam feito restar no ribeiro de Besor; e eles saíram a receber a Davi, e ao povo que com ele estava. E quando Davi chegou à gente, saudou-os com 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 perversos dentre os que haviam ido com Davi, responderam e disseram: Pois que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos da presa que tiramos, a não ser a cada um sua mulher e seus filhos; os quais tomem e se vão.
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.
E Davi disse: Não façais isso, irmãos meus, do que nos deu o SENHOR; o qual nos guardou, e entregou em nossas mãos a caterva que veio sobre nós.
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 vos escutará neste caso? Porque igual parte será a dos que vem à batalha, e a dos que ficam com a bagagem; que repartam juntos.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, unto this day.
E desde aquele dia em diante foi isto posto por lei e ordenança em Israel, até 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 quando Davi chegou a Ziclague, enviou da presa aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis aqui uma bênção para vós, da presa 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 que estavam em Betel, e em Ramote ao sul, e aos que estavam em Jattir;
28 and to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa;
E aos que estavam em Aroer, e em Sifmote, e aos que estavam em Estemoa;
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 que estavam em Racal, e aos que estavam nas cidades de Jerameel, e aos que estavam nas cidades dos queneus;
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 que estavam em Hormá, e aos que estavam em Corasã, e aos que estavam em Atace;
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 que estavam em Hebrom, e em todos os lugares de onde Davi havia estado com os seus.
