< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 Então David se retirou d'ali, e escapou para a caverna de Adullam: e ouviram-n'o seus irmãos e toda a casa de seu pae, e desceram ali para elle.
David therefore went from thence and fled to the cave of Odollam. And when his brethren, and all his father’s house had heard of it, they went down to him thither;
2 E ajuntou-se a elle todo o homem que se achava em aperto, e todo o homem endividado, e todo o homem de espirito desgostoso, e elle se fez chefe d'elles: e eram com elle uns quatrocentos homens.
And all that were in distress and oppressed with debt, and under affliction of mind gathered themselves unto him: and he became their prince, and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 E foi-se David d'ali a Mispeh dos moabitas, e disse ao rei dos moabitas: Deixa estar meu pae e minha mãe comvosco, até que saiba o que Deus ha de fazer de mim.
And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me.
4 E trouxe-os perante o rei dos moabitas, e ficaram com elle todos os dias que David esteve no logar forte.
And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold.
5 Porém o propheta Gad disse a David: Não fiques n'aquelle logar forte; vae, e entra na terra de Judah. Então David se foi, e veiu para o bosque de Chereth.
And Gad the prophet said to David: Abide not in the hold, depart, and go into the land of Juda. And David departed, and came into the forest of Haret.
6 E ouviu Saul que já se sabia de David e dos homens que estavam com elle: e estava Saul em Gibeah, debaixo d'um arvoredo, em Rama, e tinha na mão a sua lança, e todos os seus creados estavam com elle.
And Saul heard that David was seen, and the men that were with him. Now whilst Saul abode in Gabaa, and was in the wood, which is by Rama, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him,
7 Então disse Saul a todos os seus creados que estavam com elle: Ouvi, peço-vos, filhos de Benjamin, dar-vos-ha tambem o filho de Jessé, a todos vós, terras e vinhas, e far-vos-ha a todos chefes de milhares e chefes de centenas?
He said to his servants that stood about him: Hear me now, ye sons of Jemini: will the son of Isai give everyone of you fields, and vineyards, and make you all tribunes, and centurions:
8 Para que todos vos tenhaes conspirado contra mim, e ninguem ha que me dê aviso de que meu filho tem feito alliança com o filho de Jessé, e nenhum d'entre vós ha que se dôa de mim, e m'o participe, pois meu filho tem contra mim sublevado a meu servo, para me armar ciladas, como se vê n'este dia.
That all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son hath entered into league with the soil of Isai? There is not one of you that pitieth my case, nor that giveth me any information: because my son hath raised up my servant against me, plotting against me to this day.
9 Então respondeu Doeg, o idumeo, que tambem estava com os creados de Saul, e disse: Ao filho de Jessé vi vir a Nob, a Achimelech, filho de Ahitub,
And Doeg the Edomite who stood by, and was the chief among the servants of Saul, answering, said: I saw the son of Isai, in Nobe with Achimelech the son of Achitob the priest.
10 O qual consultou por elle ao Senhor, e lhe deu mantimento, e lhe deu tambem a espada de Goliath, o philisteo.
And he consulted the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11 Então o rei mandou chamar a Achimelech, sacerdote, filho de Ahitub, e a toda a casa de seu pae, os sacerdotes que estavam em Nob; e todos elles vieram ao rei.
Then the king sent to call for Achimelech the priest the son of Achitob, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king.
12 E disse Saul: Ouve, peço-te, filho d'Ahitub. E elle disse: Eis-me aqui, senhor meu.
And Saul said to Achimelech: Hear, thou son of Achitob. He answered: Here I am, my lord.
13 Então lhe disse Saul: Porque conspirastes contra mim, tu e o filho de Jessé? pois deste-lhe pão e espada, e consultaste por elle a Deus, para que se levantasse contra mim a armar-me ciladas, como se vê n'este dia
And Saul said to him: Why have you conspired against me, thou, and the son of Isai, and thou hast given him bread and a sword, and hast consulted the Lord for him, that he should rise up against me, continuing a traitor to this day.
14 E respondeu Achimelech ao rei, e disse: E quem, entre todos os teus creados, ha tão fiel como David, o genro do rei, prompto na sua obediencia, e honrado na tua casa?
And Achimelech answering the king, said: And who amongst all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son in law, and goeth forth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house?
15 Comecei, porventura, hoje a consultar por elle a Deus? longe de mim tal! não impute o rei coisa nenhuma a seu servo, nem a toda a casa de meu pae, pois o teu servo não soube nada de tudo isso, nem muito nem pouco.
Did I begin today to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father’s house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great.
16 Porém o rei disse: Achimelech, morrerás certamente, tu e toda a casa de teu pae.
And the king said: Dying thou shalt die, Achimelech, thou and all thy father’s house.
17 E disse o rei aos da sua guarda que estavam com elle: Virae-vos, e matae os sacerdotes do Senhor, porque tambem a sua mão é com David, e porque souberam que fugiu e não m'o fizeram saber. Porém os creados do rei não quizeram estender as suas mãos para arremetter contra os sacerdotes do Senhor.
And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king’s servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord.
18 Então disse o rei a Doeg: Vira-te tu, e arremette contra os sacerdotes. Então se virou Doeg, o idumeo, e arremetteu contra os sacerdotes, e matou n'aquelle dia oitenta e cinco homens que vestiam ephod de linho.
And the king said to Doeg: Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell upon the priests and slew in that day eighty-five men that wore the linen ephod.
19 Tambem a Nob, cidade d'estes sacerdotes, passou a fio de espada, desde o homem até á mulher, desde os meninos até aos de mama, e até os bois, jumentos e ovelhas passou a fio de espada.
And Nobe the city of the priests he smote with the edge of his sword, both men and women, children, and sucklings, and ox and ass, and sheep with the edge of the sword.
20 Porém escapou um dos filhos de Achimelech, filho de Ahitub, cujo nome era Abiathar, o qual fugiu atraz de David.
But one of the sons of Achimelech the son of Achitob, whose name was Abiathar, escaped, and fled to David,
21 E Abiathar annunciou a David que Saul tinha matado os sacerdotes do Senhor.
And told him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.
22 Então David disse a Abiathar: Bem sabia eu n'aquelle dia que, estando ali Doeg, o idumeo, não deixaria de o denunciar a Saul: eu dei occasião contra todas as almas da casa de teu pae.
And David said to Abiathar: I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there, that without doubt he would tell Saul: I have been the occasion of the death of all the souls of thy father’s house.
23 Fica comigo, não temas, porque quem procurar a minha morte tambem procurará a tua, pois estarás salvo comigo.
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy life also, and with me thou shalt be saved.
