1 Samuel 17
1 The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
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 Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight 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 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley 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 Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
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 He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
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 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
E trazia grevas de bronze por cima de seus pés, e um escudo de bronze entre os seus hombros.
7 He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of 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 Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to 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 fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
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 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
Disse mais o philisteo: Hoje desafio as companhias de Israel, dizendo: Dae-me um homem, para que ambos pelejemos.
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
Ouvindo então Saul e todo o Israel estas palavras do philisteo, espantaram-se, e temeram muito.
12 David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
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 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
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 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
E David era o menor; e os tres maiores seguiram a Saul.
15 David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
David porém foi-se e voltou de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pae em Beth-lehem.
16 For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Chegava-se pois o philisteo pela manhã e á tarde; e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.
17 [One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
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 And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
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 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
E estavam Saul, e elles, e todos os homens d'Israel no valle do carvalho, pelejando com os philisteos.
20 So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
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 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
E os israelitas e philisteos se pozeram em ordem, fileira contra fileira.
22 David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
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 While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
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 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
Porém todos os homens em Israel, vendo aquelle homem, fugiam de diante d'elle e temiam grandemente.
25 They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
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 David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful 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 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
E o povo lhe tornou a fallar conforme áquella palavra dizendo: Assim farão ao homem que o ferir.
28 But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
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 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
Então disse David: Que fiz eu agora? porventura não ha razão para isso?
30 Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
E desviou-se d'elle para outro, e fallou conforme áquella palavra: e o povo lhe tornou a responder conforme ás primeiras palavras.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
E, ouvidas as palavras que David havia fallado, as annunciaram a Saul, e mandou em busca d'elle.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
E David disse a Saul: Não desfalleça o coração de ninguem por causa d'elle: teu servo irá, e pelejará contra este philisteo.
33 Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
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 David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
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 I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
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 I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful 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 Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
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 Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
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 David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
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 he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
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 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
O philisteo tambem veiu e se vinha chegando a David: e o que lhe levava o escudo ia diante d'elle.
42 he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
E, olhando o philisteo, e vendo a David, o desprezou, porquanto era mancebo, ruivo, e de gentil aspecto.
43 He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
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 He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
Disse mais o philisteo a David: Vem a mim, e darei a tua carne ás aves do céu e ás bestas do campo.
45 David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
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 Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] 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 everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
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 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
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 He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
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 Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
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.
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 The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
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 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
Então voltaram os filhos de Israel de perseguirem os philisteos, e despojaram os seus arraiaes.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
E David tomou a cabeça do philisteo, e a trouxe a Jerusalem: porém poz as armas d'elle na sua tenda.
55 As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
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 the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
Disse então o rei: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho este mancebo.
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
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 Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
E disse-lhe Saul: De quem és filho, mancebo? E disse David: Filho de teu servo Jessé, beth-lehemita.
