1 Samuel 22
1 David [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
E indo-se Davi dali escapou-se à cova de Adulão; o qual quando ouviram seus irmãos e toda a casa de seu pai, vieram ali a ele.
2 Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
E juntaram-se com ele todos os afligidos, e todo aquele que estava endividado, e todos os que se achavam em amargura de espírito, e foi feito capitão deles: e teve consigo como quatrocentos homens.
3 Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
E foi-se Davi dali a Mispá de Moabe, e disse ao rei de Moabe: Eu te rogo que meu pai e minha mãe estejam convosco, até que saiba o que Deus fará de mim.
4 [The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
Trouxe-os, pois, à presença do rei de Moabe, e habitaram com ele todo aquele tempo que Davi esteve na fortaleza.
5 One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
E Gade profeta disse a Davi: Não fiques nesta fortaleza, parte-te, e vai-te à terra de Judá. E Davi se partiu, e veio ao bosque de Herete.
6 One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
E ouviu Saul como havia aparecido Davi, e os que estavam com ele. Estava então Saul em Gibeá debaixo de uma árvore em Ramá, e tinha sua lança em sua mão, e todos os seus criados estavam em derredor dele.
7 He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
E disse Saul a seus criados que estavam em derredor dele: Ouvi agora, filhos de Benjamim: O filho de Jessé também dará a todos vós terras e vinhas, e vos fará a todos comandantes de mim e comandantes de cem,
8 Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
Que todos vós conspirastes contra mim, e não há quem me revele ao ouvido como meu filho fez aliança com o filho de Jessé, nem alguém de vós que se condoa de mim, e me revele como meu filho levantou meu servo contra mim, para que me prepare ciladas, como ele hoje faz?
9 Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
Então Doegue edomita, que era superior entre os servos de Saul, respondeu e disse: Eu vi ao filho de Jessé que veio a Nobe, a Aimeleque filho de Aitube;
10 Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
O qual consultou por ele ao SENHOR, e deu-lhe provisão, e também lhe deu a espada de Golias o filisteu.
11 Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
E o rei enviou pelo sacerdote Aimeleque filho de Aitube, e por toda a casa de seu pai, os sacerdotes que estavam em Nobe: e todos vieram ao rei.
12 Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
E Saul lhe disse: Ouve agora, filho de Aitube. E ele disse: Eis-me aqui, senhor meu.
13 Saul said, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
E disse-lhe Saul: Por que conspirastes contra mim, tu e o filho de Jessé, quando tu lhe deste pão e espada, e consultaste por ele a Deus, para que se levantasse contra mim e me armasse cilada, como o faz hoje dia?
14 Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
Então Aimeleque respondeu ao rei, e disse: E quem entre todos teus servos é tão fiel como Davi, genro também do rei, e que vai por teu mandado, e é ilustre em tua casa?
15 Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
Comecei eu desde hoje a consultar por ele a Deus? Longe seja de mim: não impute o rei coisa alguma a seu servo, nem a toda a casa de meu pai; porque teu servo nenhuma coisa sabe deste negócio, grande nem pequena.
16 The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
E o rei disse: Sem dúvida morrerás, Aimeleque, tu e toda a casa de teu pai.
17 Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
Então disse o rei à gente de sua guarda que estava ao redor dele: Voltai-vos e matai aos sacerdotes do SENHOR; porque também a mão deles é com Davi, pois sabendo eles que fugia, não o revelaram a mim. Mas os servos do rei não quiseram estender suas mãos para matar os sacerdotes do SENHOR.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
Então disse o rei a Doegue: Volta tu, e arremete contra os sacerdotes. E revolvendo-se Doegue edomita, arremeteu contra os sacerdotes, e matou naquele dia oitenta e cinco homens que vestiam éfode de linho.
19 He also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
E a Nobe, cidade dos sacerdotes, pôs à espada: tanto a homens como a mulheres, meninos e mamantes, bois e asnos e ovelhas, tudo à espada.
20 But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
Mas um dos filhos de Aimeleque filho de Aitube, que se chamava Abiatar, escapou, e fugiu-se a Davi.
21 He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’s priests.
E Abiatar noticiou a Davi como Saul havia matado os sacerdotes do SENHOR.
22 Then David said to him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
E disse Davi a Abiatar: Eu sabia que estando ali aquele dia Doegue o edomita, ele o havia de fazer saber a Saul. Eu dei ocasião contra todas as pessoas da casa de teu pai.
23 You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
Fica-te comigo, não temas: quem buscar minha vida, buscará também a tua: bem que comigo tu estarás seguro.
