1 Samuel 17
1 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.
Now the Philistines, gathering their troops for battle, assembled at Socoh of Judah. And they made camp between Socoh and Azekah, within the borders of Dammim.
2 Porém Saul e os homens de Israel se ajuntaram e acamparam no valle do carvalho, e ordenaram a batalha contra os philisteos.
But Saul and the sons of Israel, having gathered together, went to the Valley of Terebinth. And they positioned the army so as to fight against the Philistines.
3 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.
And the Philistines were standing on a mountain on the one side, and Israel was standing on a mountain on the other side. And there was a valley between them.
4 Então saiu do arraial dos philisteos um homem guerreiro, cujo nome era Goliath, de Gath, que tinha de altura seis covados e um palmo.
And there went out from the camp of the Philistines, a man of illegitimate birth, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a palm.
5 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.
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a breastplate of scales. Moreover, the weight of his breastplate was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 E trazia grevas de bronze por cima de seus pés, e um escudo de bronze entre os seus hombros.
And he had plates of brass on his lower legs, and a small shield of brass was covering his shoulders.
7 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.
Now the shaft of his spear was like the beam used by a weaver. And the iron of his spear held six hundred shekels of iron. And his armor bearer went before him.
8 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.
And standing still, he cried out to the battle lines of Israel, and he said to them: “Why have you arrived, prepared for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose one man from among you, and let him descend to do battle alone.
9 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.
If he is able to fight with me and to strike me down, we will be your servants. But if I will prevail over him, and strike him down, you will be the servants, and you will serve us.”
10 Disse mais o philisteo: Hoje desafio as companhias de Israel, dizendo: Dae-me um homem, para que ambos pelejemos.
And the Philistine was saying: “I have reproached the troops of Israel today. Present a man to me, and let him undertake a fight against me alone.”
11 Ouvindo então Saul e todo o Israel estas palavras do philisteo, espantaram-se, e temeram muito.
And Saul and all the Israelites, hearing these words of the Philistine in this manner, were stupefied and exceedingly afraid.
12 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.
Now David was the son of an Ephrathite man, the one mentioned above, from Bethlehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse. He had eight sons, and during the days of Saul, he was an elderly man, and of great age among men.
13 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.
Now his three eldest sons followed Saul into battle. And the names of his three sons, who went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 E David era o menor; e os tres maiores seguiram a Saul.
But David was the youngest. Therefore, when the three eldest had followed Saul,
15 David porém foi-se e voltou de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pae em Beth-lehem.
David went away from Saul, and he returned, so that he might pasture the flock of his father at Bethlehem.
16 Chegava-se pois o philisteo pela manhã e á tarde; e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.
Truly, the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and he stood forth, for forty days.
17 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.
Now Jesse said to his son David: “Take, for your brothers, an ephah of cooked grain, and these ten loaves, and hurry to the camp, to your brothers.
18 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.
And you shall carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune. And visit your brothers, to see if they are doing well. And learn with whom they have been stationed.”
19 E estavam Saul, e elles, e todos os homens d'Israel no valle do carvalho, pelejando com os philisteos.
But they were in the valley of Terebinth, with Saul and all the sons of Israel, fighting against the Philistines.
20 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.
And so, David rose up in the morning, and he commended the flock to the caretaker. And he went away burdened, just as Jesse had instructed him. And he went to the place of the battle line, and to the army, which, in going out to fight, was shouting in the conflict.
21 E os israelitas e philisteos se pozeram em ordem, fileira contra fileira.
For Israel had positioned their troops, but the Philistines also had prepared themselves against them.
22 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.
Then, leaving the items that he had brought under the hand of the keeper of baggage, David ran to the place of the conflict. And he was asking if all was going well with his brothers.
23 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.
And while he was still speaking with them, there appeared the man of spurious descent, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine of Gath, ascending from the camp of the Philistines. And he was speaking in these same words, which David heard.
24 Porém todos os homens em Israel, vendo aquelle homem, fugiam de diante d'elle e temiam grandemente.
Then all the Israelites, when they had seen the man, fled from his face, fearing him greatly.
25 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.
And someone of Israel said: “Have you seen this man, who has risen up. For he ascended in order to reproach Israel. Therefore, the man who will strike him down, the king will enrich with great wealth, and will give to him his daughter, and will cause his father’s house to be free of tribute in Israel.”
26 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?
And David spoke to the men who were standing with him, saying: “What will be given to the man who will have struck down this Philistine, and who will have taken away the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should reproach the soldiers of the living God?”
27 E o povo lhe tornou a fallar conforme áquella palavra dizendo: Assim farão ao homem que o ferir.
Then the people repeated to him the same words, saying, “These things shall be given to the man who will have struck him down.”
28 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
Now when Eliab, his eldest brother, had heard this, as he was speaking with the others, he became angry against David, and he said: “Why did you come here? And why did you leave behind those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, that you have come down so that you might see the battle.”
29 Então disse David: Que fiz eu agora? porventura não ha razão para isso?
And David said: “What have I done? Is there any word against me?”
30 E desviou-se d'elle para outro, e fallou conforme áquella palavra: e o povo lhe tornou a responder conforme ás primeiras palavras.
And he turned away from him a little, toward another. And he asked the same question. And the people responded to him as before.
31 E, ouvidas as palavras que David havia fallado, as annunciaram a Saul, e mandou em busca d'elle.
Now the words that David had spoken were heard and reported in the sight of Saul.
32 E David disse a Saul: Não desfalleça o coração de ninguem por causa d'elle: teu servo irá, e pelejará contra este philisteo.
When he had been led to Saul, he said to him: “Let no one lose heart over him. I, your servant, shall go and fight against the Philistine.”
33 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.
And Saul said to David: “You are not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him. For you are a boy, but he has been a warrior from his boyhood.”
34 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;
And David said to Saul: “Your servant was pasturing the flock of his father. And there approached a lion or a bear, and it took a ram from the midst of the flock.
35 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.
And I pursued after them, and I struck them, and I rescued from their mouth. And they rose up against me. And I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
36 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.
For I, your servant, have killed both lion and bear. And so this uncircumcised Philistine, too, will be like one of them. Now I will go and take away the reproach of the people. For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who has dared to curse the army of the living God?”
37 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.
And David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the hand of the lion, and from the hand of the bear, he himself will free me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
38 E Saul vestiu a David dos seus vestidos, e poz-lhe sobre a cabeça um capacete de bronze: e o vestiu de uma couraça.
And Saul clothed David with his garments. And he placed a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clothed him with a breastplate.
39 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.
Then David, having girded his sword over his armor, began to see if he could walk in the armor. But he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: “I cannot move about in this way. For I am not used to it.” And he put them aside.
40 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.
And he took up his staff, which he held always in his hands. And he chose for himself five very smooth stones from the torrent. And he put them into the shepherd’s bag that he had with him. And he took up a sling in his hand. And he went out against the Philistine.
41 O philisteo tambem veiu e se vinha chegando a David: e o que lhe levava o escudo ia diante d'elle.
And the Philistine, advancing, went and drew near against David. And his armor bearer was before him.
42 E, olhando o philisteo, e vendo a David, o desprezou, porquanto era mancebo, ruivo, e de gentil aspecto.
And when the Philistine had seen and considered David, he despised him. For he was a youth, ruddy and of handsome appearance.
43 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.
And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you approach against me with a staff?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Disse mais o philisteo a David: Vem a mim, e darei a tua carne ás aves do céu e ás bestas do campo.
And he said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.”
45 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.
But David said to the Philistine: “You approach me with sword, and spear, and shield. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have reproached.
46 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
Today, the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down. And I will take your head from you. And today, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that God is with Israel.
47 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.
And this entire assembly will know that the Lord does not save by sword, nor by spear. For this is his war, and he will deliver you into our hands.”
48 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.
Then, when the Philistine had risen up, and was approaching, and was drawing near against David, David hurried and ran to the fight against the Philistine.
49 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.
And he put his hand into his bag, and took out one stone. And swinging it around, he cast it with the sling and struck the Philistine on the forehead. And the stone became imbedded in his forehead. And he fell on his face, upon the ground.
50 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.
And David prevailed against the Philistine with a sling and a stone. And he struck and killed the Philistine. But since David held no sword in his hand,
51 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.
he ran and stood over the Philistine, and he took his sword, and withdrew it from the sheath. And he killed him and cut off his head. Then the Philistines, seeing that their strongest man was dead, fled away.
52 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
And the men of Israel and Judah, rising up, shouted and pursued after the Philistines, even until they arrived at the valley and as far as the gates of Ekron. And many wounded among the Philistines fell on the way of Shaaraim, and as far as Gath, and as far as Ekron.
53 Então voltaram os filhos de Israel de perseguirem os philisteos, e despojaram os seus arraiaes.
And the sons of Israel, returning after they had pursued the Philistines, invaded their camp.
54 E David tomou a cabeça do philisteo, e a trouxe a Jerusalem: porém poz as armas d'elle na sua tenda.
Then David, taking up the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem. Yet truly, he placed his armor in his own tent.
55 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
Now at the time that Saul had seen David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the leader of the military, “From what stock is this youth descended, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”
56 Disse então o rei: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho este mancebo.
And the king said, “You shall inquire as to whose son this boy may be.”
57 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.
And when David had returned, after the Philistine had been struck down, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, having the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 E disse-lhe Saul: De quem és filho, mancebo? E disse David: Filho de teu servo Jessé, beth-lehemita.
And Saul said to him, “Young man, from what ancestry are you?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”
