< 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.
So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
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.
Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented—they all gathered to him. David became captain over them. There were about four hundred men with him.
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.
Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother go out with you until 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.
He left them with the king of Moab. His father and mother stayed with him the whole time that David was in his stronghold.
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.
Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in your stronghold. Leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left there and went into the forest of Hereth.
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.
Saul heard that David had been discovered, along with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around 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?
Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Listen now, people of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
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.
in exchange for all of you plotting against me? None of you informs me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me. None of you informs me that my son has incited my servant David against me. Today he hides and waits for me so he may attack me.”
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,
Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.
10 O qual consultou por elle ao Senhor, e lhe deu mantimento, e lhe deu tambem a espada de Goliath, o philisteo.
He prayed to Yahweh that he might help him, and he gave him provisions and 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 someone to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. All of them came to the king.
12 E disse Saul: Ouve, peço-te, filho d'Ahitub. E elle disse: Eis-me aqui, senhor meu.
Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my master.”
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
Saul said to him, “Why have you plotted against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have prayed to God that he might help him, so that he might rise up against me, to hide in secret, as he does today?”
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?
Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law and is over your bodyguard, and is honored in your 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.
Is today the first time I have prayed to God to help him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father. For your servant knows nothing of this whole matter.”
16 Porém o rei disse: Achimelech, morrerás certamente, tu e toda a casa de teu pae.
The king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your 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.
The king said to the guard that stood around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh. Because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, but did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to kill the priests of Yahweh.
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.
Then the king said to Doeg, “Turn and kill the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests; he killed eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod that day.
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.
He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests; both men and women, children and infants, and oxen and donkeys and sheep he put to 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 Ahimelech son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
21 E Abiathar annunciou a David que Saul tinha matado os sacerdotes do Senhor.
Abiathar told David that Saul had killed Yahweh's priests.
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.
David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for every death in your father's family!
23 Fica comigo, não temas, porque quem procurar a minha morte tambem procurará a tua, pois estarás salvo comigo.
Stay with me and do not be afraid. For the one who seeks your life seeks mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
