1 Samuel 30
1 Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
E Quando Davi e os seus vieram a Ziclague o terceiro dia, os de Amaleque haviam invadido o sul e a Ziclague, e haviam assolado a Ziclague, e posto-a a fogo.
2 They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
E haviam-se levado cativas às mulheres que estavam nela, desde a menor até a maior; mas a ninguém haviam matado, mas sim levado, e ido seu caminho.
3 When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
Veio, pois Davi com os seus à cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres e seus filhos e filhas levadas cativas.
4 David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
Então Davi e a gente que com ele estava, levantaram sua voz e choraram, até que lhes faltaram as forças para chorar.
5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
As duas mulheres de Davi, Ainoã jezreelita e Abigail a que foi mulher de Nabal do Carmelo, também eram cativas.
6 David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
E Davi foi muito angustiado, porque o povo falava de apedrejá-lo; porque todo aquele povo estava com ânimo amargo, cada um por seus filhos e por suas filhas: mas Davi se esforçou no SENHOR seu Deus.
7 David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
E disse Davi ao sacerdote Abiatar filho de Aimeleque: Eu te rogo que me tragas o éfode. E Abiatar trouxe o éfode a Davi.
8 and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
E Davi consultou ao SENHOR, dizendo: Seguirei esta tropa? Poderei alcançá-la? E ele lhe disse: Segue-a que de certo a alcançarás, e sem falta livrarás a presa.
9 So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
Partiu-se, pois, Davi, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele estavam, e vieram até o ribeiro de Besor, de onde se restaram alguns.
10 David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
E Davi seguiu o alcance com quatrocentos homens; porque se restaram atrás duzentos, que cansados não puderam passar o ribeiro de Besor.
11 [As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
E acharam no acampamento um homem egípcio, o qual trouxeram a Davi, e deram-lhe pão que comesse, e a beber água;
12 They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
Deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos, e dois cachos de passas. E logo que comeu, voltou nele seu espírito; porque não havia comido pão nem bebido água em três dias e três noites.
13 David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
E disse-lhe Davi: De quem és tu? E de onde és? E respondeu o jovem egípcio: Eu sou servo de um amalequita, e deixou-me meu amo hoje há três dias, porque estava enfermo;
14 We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
Pois fizemos uma incursão à parte do sul dos queretitas, e a Judá, e ao sul de Calebe; e pusemos fogo a Ziclague.
15 David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
E disse-lhe Davi: Tu me levarás a essa tropa? E ele disse: Faze-me juramento por Deus que não me matarás, nem me entregarás nas mãos de meu amo, e eu te levarei a essa gente.
16 [David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
Então o levou-o; e eis que estavam dispersos sobre a face de toda aquela terra, comendo e bebendo e fazendo festa, por toda aquela grande presa que haviam tomado da terra dos filisteus, e da terra de Judá.
17 David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
E feriu-os Davi desde aquela manhã até à tarde do dia seguinte: e não escapou deles nenhum, a não ser quatrocentos rapazes, que haviam subido em camelos e fugiram.
18 David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
E livrou Davi tudo o que os amalequitas haviam tomado: e também libertou Davi a suas duas mulheres.
19 Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
E não lhes faltou coisa pequena nem grande, tanto de filhos como de filhas, do roubo, e de todas as coisas que lhes haviam tomado: todo o recuperou Davi.
20 They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
Tomou também Davi todas as ovelhas e gados maiores; e trazendo-o todo adiante, diziam: Esta é a presa de Davi.
21 David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
E veio Davi aos duzentos homens que haviam restado cansados e não haviam podido perseguir a Davi, aos quais haviam feito restar no ribeiro de Besor; e eles saíram a receber a Davi, e ao povo que com ele estava. E quando Davi chegou à gente, saudou-os com paz.
22 But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
Então todos os maus e perversos dentre os que haviam ido com Davi, responderam e disseram: Pois que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos da presa que tiramos, a não ser a cada um sua mulher e seus filhos; os quais tomem e se vão.
23 David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
E Davi disse: Não façais isso, irmãos meus, do que nos deu o SENHOR; o qual nos guardou, e entregou em nossas mãos a caterva que veio sobre nós.
24 (Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
E quem vos escutará neste caso? Porque igual parte será a dos que vem à batalha, e a dos que ficam com a bagagem; que repartam juntos.
25 David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
E desde aquele dia em diante foi isto posto por lei e ordenança em Israel, até hoje.
26 When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
E quando Davi chegou a Ziclague, enviou da presa aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis aqui uma bênção para vós, da presa dos inimigos do SENHOR.
27 [Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
Aos que estavam em Betel, e em Ramote ao sul, e aos que estavam em Jattir;
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
E aos que estavam em Aroer, e em Sifmote, e aos que estavam em Estemoa;
29 Racal, the cities where the descendants of Jehrameel lived and the cities where the Ken people-group lived,
E aos que estavam em Racal, e aos que estavam nas cidades de Jerameel, e aos que estavam nas cidades dos queneus;
30 Hormah, Bor-Ashan, Athach,
E aos que estavam em Hormá, e aos que estavam em Corasã, e aos que estavam em Atace;
31 Hebron, and all the other places where David and his men had gone [when they were hiding from Saul].
E aos que estavam em Hebrom, e em todos os lugares de onde Davi havia estado com os seus.
