1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gathered together their hosts, unto battle, and they were gathered together unto Socoh, which belongeth unto Judah, —and they encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim;
E os philisteos ajuntaram os seus arraiaes para a guerra e congregaram-se em Socoh, que está em Judah, e acamparam-se entre Socoh e Azeka, no termo de Dammim.
2 and, Saul and the men of Israel, gathered themselves together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the army in array against the Philistines.
Porém Saul e os homens de Israel se ajuntaram e acamparam no valle do carvalho, e ordenaram a batalha contra os philisteos.
3 And, the Philistines, were standing near the hill on one side, and, the Israelites, were standing near the hill on the other side, —while, the valley, was between them.
E os philisteos estavam n'um monte da banda d'além, e os israelitas estavam no outro monte da banda d'áquem; e o valle estava entre elles.
4 And there came forth a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, Goliath, his name, from Gath, —his height, six cubits and a span;
Então saiu do arraial dos philisteos um homem guerreiro, cujo nome era Goliath, de Gath, que tinha de altura seis covados e um palmo.
5 with a helmet of bronze on his head, and, with a scaly coat of mail, was he clad, —the weight of the coat, being five thousand shekels of bronze;
Trazia na cabeça um capacete de bronze, e vestia uma couraça de escamas; e era o peso da couraça de cinco mil siclos de bronze.
6 and, greaves of bronze, on his feet, —and, a javelin of bronze, between his shoulders;
E trazia grevas de bronze por cima de seus pés, e um escudo de bronze entre os seus hombros.
7 and, the shaft of his spear, was like a weaver’s beam, and, the flashing head of his spear, was six hundred shekels of iron, —and, his shield-bearer, was coming on before him.
E a haste da sua lança era como o orgão do tecelão, e o ferro da sua lança de seiscentos siclos de ferro, e diante d'elle ia o escudeiro.
8 And he took his stand, and cried unto the ranks of Israel, and said unto them, Wherefore should ye come out, to set in array for battle? Am not, I, a Philistine, while, ye, are servants unto Saul? Choose you a man, and let him come down unto me:
E parou, e clamou ás companhias d'Israel, e disse-lhes: Para que saireis a ordenar a batalha? não sou eu philisteo e vós servos de Saul? escolhei d'entre vós um homem que desça a mim.
9 If he prevail in fighting with me, and smite me, then will we become your servants, —but, if, I, prevail over him, and smite him, then shall ye become our servants, and serve, us.
Se elle puder pelejar comigo, e me ferir, a vós seremos por servos; porém, se eu o vencer, e o ferir, então a nós sereis por servos, e nos servireis.
10 And the Philistine said—I, reproach the ranks of Israel, this day, —give me a man, that we may fight together.
Disse mais o philisteo: Hoje desafio as companhias de Israel, dizendo: Dae-me um homem, para que ambos pelejemos.
11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and feared exceedingly.
Ouvindo então Saul e todo o Israel estas palavras do philisteo, espantaram-se, e temeram muito.
12 Now, David, was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-judah, whose, name, was Jesse, and, who, had eight sons, —and, the man, in the days of Saul was old, advanced in years.
E David era filho de um homem, ephrateo, de Beth-lehem de Judah, cujo nome era Jessé, que tinha oito filhos: e nos dias de Saul era este homem já velho e adiantado na edade entre os homens.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle, —and, the names of his three sons who went into the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and, the next to him, Abinadab, and, the third, Shammah.
Foram-se os tres filhos mais velhos de Jessé, e seguiram a Saul á guerra: e eram os nomes de seus tres filhos, que se foram á guerra, Eliab, o primogenito, e o segundo Abinadab, e o terceiro Samma.
14 But, as for David, he, was the youngest, —and, the three eldest, followed Saul;
E David era o menor; e os tres maiores seguiram a Saul.
15 whereas, David, kept going and returning from Saul, —to tend his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
David porém foi-se e voltou de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pae em Beth-lehem.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, —and presented himself forty days.
Chegava-se pois o philisteo pela manhã e á tarde; e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take, I pray thee, unto thy brethren—this ephah of parched corn, and these ten loaves, —and run to the camp unto thy brethren;
E disse Jessé a David, seu filho: Toma, peço-te, para teus irmãos um epha d'este grão tostado e estes dez pães, e corre a leval-os ao arraial, a teus irmãos.
18 also these ten slices of soft cheese, shalt thou take to the captain of their thousand, —and, as for thy brethren, give good heed to their welfare, their pledge, also shalt thou receive.
Porém estes dez queijos de leite leva ao chefe de mil; e visitarás a teus irmãos, a ver se lhes vae bem; e tomarás o seu penhor.
19 Now, Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, ready to fight with the Philistines.
E estavam Saul, e elles, e todos os homens d'Israel no valle do carvalho, pelejando com os philisteos.
20 So then David rose up early in the morning, and entrusted the sheep to a keeper, and took up [the provisions] and went his way, as Jesse had commanded him, —and came into the circular rampart, as, the force, was going forth into the ranks, and shouted for the fight.
David então de madrugada se levantou pela manhã, e deixou as ovelhas a um guarda, e carregou-se, e partiu, como Jessé lhe ordenara: e chegou ao logar dos carros, quando já o arraial sahia em ordem de batalha, e a gritos chamavam á peleja.
21 So Israel and the Philistines set in array for battle, army against army.
E os israelitas e philisteos se pozeram em ordem, fileira contra fileira.
22 Then David entrusted the provisions that were upon him to the care of the keeper of the stores, and ran unto the ranks, —and came and asked for the welfare of his brethren.
E David deixou a carga que trouxera na mão do guarda da bagagem, e correu á batalha; e, chegando, perguntou a seus irmãos se estavam bem.
23 Now, as he was speaking with them, lo! the champion coming up, Goliath the Philistine, by name, of Gath, [coming up] out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he spake according to these words, —and David heard [them].
E, estando elle ainda fallando com elles, eis que vinha subindo do exercito dos philisteos o homem guerreiro, cujo nome era Goliath, o philisteo de Gath e fallou conforme áquellas palavras, e David as ouviu.
24 Now, all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him, and feared exceedingly.
Porém todos os homens em Israel, vendo aquelle homem, fugiam de diante d'elle e temiam grandemente.
25 And the men of Israel said—Have ye seen this man that is coming up? For, to reproach Israel, is he coming. So then it shall be, that, the man that shall smite him, the same, will the king enrich with great riches, and, his own daughter, will give him, and, his father’s house, will he make free in Israel.
E diziam os homens de Israel: Vistes aquelle homem que subiu? pois subiu para affrontar a Israel: ha de ser pois que o homem que o ferir o rei o enriquecerá de grandes riquezas, e lhe dará a sua filha, e fará franca a casa de seu pae em Israel.
26 Then spake David unto the men that were standing by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that shall smite yonder Philistine, and so shall take away reproach from off Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of a Living God?
Então fallou David aos homens que estavam com elle, dizendo: Que farão áquelle homem que ferir a este philisteo, e tirar a affronta de sobre Israel? quem é pois este incircumciso philisteo, para affrontar os exercitos do Deus vivo?
27 And the people answered him, according to this word saying, —So, shall it be done to the man that shall smite him.
E o povo lhe tornou a fallar conforme áquella palavra dizendo: Assim farão ao homem que o ferir.
28 Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men, —then was kindled the anger of Eliab against David, and he said—Wherefore is it that thou hast come down? and to whom hast thou entrusted those few sheep in the wilderness? I, know thy pride, and the foolishness of thy heart, for, to see the battle, hast thou come down.
E, ouvindo Eliab, seu irmão mais velho, fallar áquelles homens, accendeu-se a ira d'Eliab contra David, e disse: Porque desceste aqui? e a quem deixaste aquellas poucas ovelhas no deserto? bem conheço a tua presumpção, e a maldade do teu coração, que desceste para ver a peleja
29 And David said, What have I done, now? Was there not, a cause?
Então disse David: Que fiz eu agora? porventura não ha razão para isso?
30 Then turned he from him unto another, and said—according to this word, —and the people returned him an answer, like the first.
E desviou-se d'elle para outro, e fallou conforme áquella palavra: e o povo lhe tornou a responder conforme ás primeiras palavras.
31 And the words which David spake were overheard, —and, when they told them before Saul, he summoned him.
E, ouvidas as palavras que David havia fallado, as annunciaram a Saul, e mandou em busca d'elle.
32 And David said unto Saul, Let not the heart of my lord fail, because of him, —thy servant, will go, and fight with this Philistine.
E David disse a Saul: Não desfalleça o coração de ninguem por causa d'elle: teu servo irá, e pelejará contra este philisteo.
33 And Saul said unto David—Thou art not able to go against this Philistine, to fight with him, —for, a youth, art, thou, but, he, a man of war, from his youth.
Porém Saul disse a David: Contra este philisteo não poderás ir para pelejar com elle: pois tu ainda és moço, e elle homem de guerra desde a sua mocidade.
34 Then said David unto Saul, Thy servant used to tend his father’s sheep, —and there would come a lion, or a bear, and carry off a lamb out of the flock;
Então disse David a Saul: Teu servo apascentava as ovelhas de seu pae; e vinha um leão e um urso, e tomava uma ovelha do rebanho;
35 and I would go out after him, and smite him, and rescue it out of his mouth, —and, if he rose against me, I would catch him by his beard, and smite him, and slay him.
E eu sahi após elle, e o feri, e livrei-a da sua bocca: e, levantando-se elle contra mim, lancei-lhe mão da barba, e o feri, e o matei.
36 Thy servant could slay, either a lion or a bear, —and, this uncircumcised Philistine, shall become, as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks of a Living God.
Assim feriu o teu servo o leão, como o urso: assim será este incircumciso philisteo como um d'elles; porquanto affrontou os exercitos do Deus vivo.
37 And David said, Yahweh, who hath rescued me out of the power of the lion, and out of the power of the bear, he, will rescue us out of the hand of this Philistine. Then said Saul unto David—Go! and, Yahweh, will be with thee.
Disse mais David: O Senhor me livrou da mão do leão, e da do urso; elle me livrará da mão d'este philisteo. Então disse Saul a David: Vae-te embora, e o Senhor seja comtigo.
38 And Saul clad David with his own military coat, and set a helmet of bronze upon his head, —and clad him with a coat of mail.
E Saul vestiu a David dos seus vestidos, e poz-lhe sobre a cabeça um capacete de bronze: e o vestiu de uma couraça.
39 And David girded his sword above his military coat, but was reluctant to go, for he had not proved them, —so David said unto Saul—I cannot go in these, for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
E David cingiu a espada sobre os seus vestidos, e começou a andar; porém nunca o havia experimentado: então disse David a Saul: Não posso andar com isto, pois nunca o experimentei. E David tirou aquillo de sobre si.
40 Then took he his stick in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the torrent-bed, and put them in the shepherd’s-pouch which he had—even in the wallet, and had his sling in his hand, —and so drew near unto the Philistine.
E tomou o seu cajado na mão, e escolheu para si cinco seixos do ribeiro, e pôl-os no alforge de pastor, que trazia, a saber, no surrão, e lançou mão da sua funda: e foi-se chegando ao philisteo.
41 And the Philistine came on and on, and drew near unto David, —and the man carrying the shield was before him.
O philisteo tambem veiu e se vinha chegando a David: e o que lhe levava o escudo ia diante d'elle.
42 And, when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him, —for he was a youth, and ruddy, a stripling of fair countenance.
E, olhando o philisteo, e vendo a David, o desprezou, porquanto era mancebo, ruivo, e de gentil aspecto.
43 Then said the Philistine unto David, A dog, am, I, that thou art coming unto me, with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David, by his god.
Disse pois o philisteo a David: Sou eu algum cão, para tu vires a mim com paus? E o philisteo amaldiçoou a David pelos seus deuses.
44 And the Philistine said unto David, —Come, unto me, that I may give thy flesh to the birds of heaven, and to the beasts of the field.
Disse mais o philisteo a David: Vem a mim, e darei a tua carne ás aves do céu e ás bestas do campo.
45 Then said David unto the Philistine—Thou, art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin, —but, I, am coming unto thee in the name of Yahweh of hosts, God of the ranks of Israel which thou hast reproached.
David porém disse ao philisteo: Tu vens a mim com espada, e com lança, e com escudo; porém eu venho a ti em nome do Senhor dos exercitos, o Deus dos exercitos de Israel, a quem tens affrontado.
46 This day, will Yahweh deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee, and will give thy dead body and the dead bodies of the host of Philistines, this day, unto the birds of heaven, and unto the wild beasts of the earth, —that all the earth may know that Israel hath a God;
Hoje mesmo o Senhor te entregará na minha mão, e ferir-te-hei, e te tirarei a cabeça, e os corpos do arraial dos philisteos darei hoje mesmo ás aves do céu e ás bestas da terra: e toda a terra saberá que ha Deus em Israel
47 and that all this gathered host may know that, not with sword and with spear, doth Yahweh save, —for, unto Yahweh, belongeth the battle, and he will deliver you into our hand.
E saberá toda esta congregação que o Senhor salva, não com espada, nem com lança; porque do Senhor é a guerra, e elle vos entregará na nossa mão.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the ranks to meet the Philistine.
E succedeu que, levantando-se o philisteo, e indo encontrar-se com David, apressou-se David, e correu ao combate, a encontrar-se com o philisteo.
49 And David thrust his hand into his pouch, and took from thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine, in his forehead, —that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face, to the earth.
E David metteu a mão no alforge, e tomou d'ali uma pedra e com a funda lh'a atirou, e feriu o philisteo na testa, e a pedra se lhe encravou na testa, e caiu sobre o seu rosto em terra.
50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine, with the sling and with the stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him, —but, sword, was there none in the hand of David.
Assim David prevaleceu contra o philisteo, com uma funda e com uma pedra, e feriu o philisteo, e o matou sem que David tivesse uma espada na mão.
51 So David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off, therewith, his head, —and, when the Philistines saw that their hero was slain, they fled.
Pelo que correu David, e poz-se em pé sobre o philisteo, e tomou a sua espada, e tirou-a da bainha, e o matou, e lhe cortou com ella a cabeça: vendo então os philisteos, que o seu campeão era morto, fugiram.
52 Then arose the men of Israel and Judah, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, as far as the entrance into Gath, and as far as the gates of Ekron, —and the slain of the Philistines fell in the way to the two gates, even as far as Gath and as far as Ekron.
Então os homens de Israel e Judah se levantaram, e jubilaram, e seguiram os philisteos, até chegar ao valle, e até ás portas d'Ekron: e cairam os feridos dos philisteos pelo caminho de Saaraim até Gath e até Ekron
53 And the sons of Israel returned from hotly pursuing the Philistines, —and plundered their camps.
Então voltaram os filhos de Israel de perseguirem os philisteos, e despojaram os seus arraiaes.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it into Jerusalem, —but, his armour, put he into his tent.
E David tomou a cabeça do philisteo, e a trouxe a Jerusalem: porém poz as armas d'elle na sua tenda.
55 And, when Saul saw David going forth to meet the Philistine, he said unto Abner, prince of the host, Whose son is the young man, Abner? And Abner said, By the life of thy soul, O king! I know not.
Vendo porém Saul sair David a encontrar-se com o philisteo, disse a Abner, o chefe do exercito: De quem é filho este mancebo, Abner? E disse Abner: Vive a tua alma, ó rei, que o não sei
56 Then said the king, —Ask, thou, whose son the stripling is?
Disse então o rei: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho este mancebo.
57 And, when David returned from smiting the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, —with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Voltando pois David de ferir o philisteo, Abner o tomou comsigo, e o trouxe á presença de Saul, trazendo elle na mão a cabeça do philisteo.
58 And Saul said unto him, Whose son art, thou, O young man? And David said, Son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlehemite.
E disse-lhe Saul: De quem és filho, mancebo? E disse David: Filho de teu servo Jessé, beth-lehemita.
