1 Samuel 21
1 David fled from there and went to Nob [city to see] Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech trembled when he saw David [because he was afraid that something bad had happened]. He said to David, “Why are you alone? Why have no men come with you?”
E veio Davi a Nobe, a Aimeleque sacerdote: e surpreendeu-se Aimeleque de seu encontro, e disse-lhe: Como tu somente, e ninguém contigo?
2 David [deceived Ahimelech] by replying, “The king sent me. But he does not want anyone to know anything about what he sent me to do. I have told my men where [they should meet me].
E respondeu Davi ao sacerdote Aimeleque: O rei me encomendou um negócio, e me disse: Ninguém saiba coisa alguma deste negócio a que eu te envio, e que eu te mandei; e eu assinalei aos criados certo lugar.
3 Now [I want to know], do you have any [food here for me to eat] [IDM]? Could you give me five loaves of bread, or whatever [other food] that you can find?”
Agora, pois, o que tens à mão? Dá-me cinco pães, ou o que se achar.
4 The priest answered David, “There is no ordinary bread here, but I have some of the sacred bread [that was placed before Yahweh]. Your men may eat it if they have not slept with [EUP] women [recently].”
E o sacerdote respondeu a Davi, e disse: Não tenho pão comum à mão; somente tenho pão sagrado: mas o darei se os criados se abstiveram de mulheres.
5 David replied, “They have not been near women for many days. I do not allow my men to defile themselves by sleeping with women while they are preparing to fight in battles. They must continue to keep themselves acceptable to God when they are on ordinary trips, and [today they have kept themselves acceptable to God] because now we are doing something very special/important.”
E Davi respondeu ao sacerdote, e disse-lhe: Certamente as mulheres nos foram afastadas desde anteontem quando saí, e os instrumentos dos moços foram santos, ainda que a jornada seja comum; quanto mais que hoje haverá outro pão santificado nos vasos.
6 The only bread that the priest had was the sacred bread that had been placed in Yahweh’s presence [in the Sacred tent]. So the priest gave David some of that bread. On that day the priest had taken those loaves from the table and replaced them with (fresh/newly baked) loaves.
Assim o sacerdote lhe deu o pão sagrado, porque ali não havia outro pão que os pães da proposição, os quais haviam sido tirados de diante do SENHOR, para que se pusessem pães quentes o dia que os outros foram tirados.
7 It happened that Doeg, from the Edom people-group, was there on that day to make himself acceptable to Yahweh, [and he saw what Ahimelech did]. He was one of Saul’s officials and the leader of Saul’s shepherds.
Aquele dia estava ali um dos servos de Saul detido diante do SENHOR, o nome do qual era Doegue, edomita, principal dos pastores de Saul.
8 David asked Ahimelech, “Do you have a spear or a sword [that I could use]? The king [appointed us to do] this task [and told us to leave] immediately, so I did not have time to bring any weapons.”
E Davi disse a Aimeleque: Não tens aqui à mão lança ou espada? Porque não tomei em minha mão minha espada nem minhas armas, porquanto o mandamento do rei era urgente.
9 Ahimelech replied, “I have only the sword that belonged to Goliath [the giant] from the Philistia people-group whom you killed in Elah Valley. It is wrapped in a cloth, and is behind the sacred vest [in the Sacred Tent]. If you want it, take it, because I have no other [weapon] here.” David replied, “Truly, there is no other sword that is [as good] as that one! Give it to me.”
E o sacerdote respondeu: A espada de Golias o filisteu, que tu venceste no vale de Elá, está aqui embrulhada em um véu detrás do éfode: se tu queres tomá-la, toma-a: porque aqui não há outra a não ser essa. E disse Davi: Nenhuma como ela: dá-a a mim.
10 [So Ahimelech gave it to him], and David left there. He [and his men] and went to Gath [city in the Philistia region], to stay with King Achish.
E levantando-se Davi aquele dia, fugiu da presença de Saul, e veio a Aquis rei de Gate.
11 But the officers of King Achish [objected to David being there. They] said to King Achish, “This man is [RHQ] David, the king of Israel! He is the one [RHQ] whom [our enemies], the [Israeli] people, [honored by] dancing and singing, ‘Saul has killed thousands [of his enemies], but David has killed tens of thousands of them!’”
E os servos de Aquis lhe disseram: Não é este Davi, o rei da terra? Não é este a quem cantavam em danças, dizendo: Feriu Saul seus milhares, E Davi seus dez milhares?
12 David heard what those men were saying, so he was afraid of [what] King Achish [might do to him].
E Davi pôs em seu coração estas palavras, e teve grande temor de Aquis rei de Gate.
13 So he pretended that he was insane. He started scratching on the gates [of the city] and allowing his saliva to run down his beard.
E mudou sua fala diante deles, e fingiu-se de louco entre suas mãos, e riscava nas entradas das portas, deixando escorrer sua saliva por sua barba.
14 Then King Achish said to his men, “Look at this man! He is acting like an insane man! Why have you brought him to me?
E disse Aquis a seus servos: Eis que estais vendo um homem demente; por que o trouxestes a mim?
15 Have you brought him because I do not have enough insane men here already [RHQ]? I do not want [RHQ] him to come into my house!”
Faltam a mim loucos, para que trouxésseis este que fizesse de louco diante de mim? havia de vir este à minha casa?
