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?”
Então David veio a Nob para Ahimelech, o padre. Ahimelech veio ao encontro de David tremendo, e lhe disse: “Por que você está sozinho, e nenhum homem com você?
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].
David disse a Ahimelech, o sacerdote: “O rei me ordenou que fizesse algo, e me disse: 'Que ninguém saiba nada sobre os negócios sobre os quais eu te envio, e o que eu te ordenei'. Enviei os jovens para um 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?”
Now portanto, o que está sob sua mão? Por favor, dê-me cinco pães na mão, ou o que estiver disponível”.
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].”
O padre respondeu a David, e disse: “Não tenho pão comum, mas há pão sagrado; se ao menos os jovens homens se tivessem mantido afastados das 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.”
David respondeu ao padre, e lhe disse: “Verdadeiramente, as mulheres foram mantidas longe de nós como de costume nestes três dias. Quando eu saí, os vasos dos jovens homens eram santos, embora fosse apenas uma viagem comum. Quanto mais então, hoje, seus vasos devem ser santos”.
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.
Então o padre lhe deu pão sagrado; pois não havia ali nenhum pão, a não ser o pão de exposição que foi tirado de antes de Javé, para ser substituído por pão quente no dia em que foi tirado.
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.
Agora um certo homem dos criados de Saul estava lá naquele dia, detido antes de Yahweh; e seu nome era Doeg, o Edomita, o melhor dos pastores que pertenciam a 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.”
David disse a Ahimelech: “Não há aqui debaixo de sua lança de mão ou espada? Pois não trouxe minha espada ou minhas armas comigo, porque os negócios do rei exigiam pressa”.
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.”
O sacerdote disse: “Eis que a espada de Golias, o filisteu, que mataste no vale de Elá, está aqui envolta em um pano atrás do éfode”. Se você quiser levar isso, leve-o, pois não há outro senão aquele aqui”. David disse: “Não há nenhum igual a este. Dê-me isso”.
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.
David levantou-se e fugiu naquele dia por medo de Saul, e foi para Achish the king of Gath.
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!’”
Os servos de Aquis lhe disseram: “Não é este Davi o rei da terra? Não cantaram uns para os outros sobre ele nos bailes, dizendo, “Saul matou seus milhares”, e David seus dez mil...”
12 David heard what those men were saying, so he was afraid of [what] King Achish [might do to him].
Davi colocou estas palavras em seu coração, e tinha muito medo de Alcançar o 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.
Ele mudou seu comportamento diante deles e fingiu estar louco em suas mãos, e rabiscou nas portas do portão, e deixou sua saliva cair sobre 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?
Então Achish disse a seus servos: “Vejam, vocês vêem que o homem é louco”. Por que então você o trouxe até 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-me loucos, que você tenha trazido este homem para fazer de louco na minha presença? Este companheiro deveria entrar em minha casa?”
