1 Samuel 23

1 E foi annunciado a David, dizendo: Eis que os philisteos pelejam contra Keila, e saqueiam as eiras.

Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Ke'ilah, and they are plundering the threshing-floors.

2 E consultou David ao Senhor, dizendo: Irei eu, e ferirei a estes philisteos? E disse o Senhor a David: Vae, e ferirás aos philisteos, e livrarás a Keila.

Thereupon David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite among these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go and smite among the Philistines, and deliver Ke'ilah.

3 Porém os homens de David lhe disseram: Eis que tememos aqui em Judah, quanto mais indo a Keila contra os esquadrões dos philisteos.

And David's men said unto him, Behold, here in Judah are we afraid: how much more then if we should go to Ke'ilah against the battle-arrays of the Philistines?

4 Então David tornou a consultar ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe respondeu, e disse: Levanta-te, desce a Keila, porque te dou os philisteos na tua mão.

Then David asked yet again counsel of the Lord. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, Go down to Ke'ilah; for I [will] deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

5 Então David partiu com os seus homens a Keila, e pelejou contra os philisteos, e levou os gados, e fez grande estrago entre elles: e David livrou os moradores de Keila.

So David and his men went to Ke'ilah; and he fought with the Philistines, and lead away their cattle, and smote among them a great slaughter. So David delivered the inhabitants of Ke'ilah.

6 E succedeu que, quando Abiathar, filho de Achimelech, fugiu para David, a Keila, desceu com o ephod na mão.

And it came to pass, when Ebyathar the son of Achimelech, fled over to David, to Ke'ilah, that the ephod came down with him.

7 E foi annunciado a Saul que David era vindo a Keila, e disse Saul: Deus o entregou nas minhas mãos, pois está encerrado, entrando n'uma cidade de portas e ferrolhos.

And it was told to Saul that David was come to Ke'ilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.

8 Então Saul mandou chamar a todo o povo á peleja, para que descessem a Keila, para cercar a David e os seus homens.

And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Ke'ilah, to besiege David and his men.

9 Sabendo pois David, que Saul maquinava este mal contra elle, disse a Abiathar, sacerdote: Traze aqui o ephod.

And David understood that Saul secretly devised mischief against him; and he said to Ebyathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.

10 E disse David: Ó Senhor, Deus de Israel, teu servo decerto tem ouvido que Saul procura vir a Keila, para destruir a cidade por causa de mim.

Then said David, O Lord, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Ke'ilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

11 Entregar-me-hão os cidadãos de Keila na sua mão? descerá Saul, como o teu servo tem ouvido? ah Senhor Deus d'Israel! fal-o saber ao teu servo. E disse o Senhor: Descerá.

Will the men of Ke'ilah surrender me into his hand? will Saul come down as thy servant hath heard? O Lord, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down.

12 Disse mais David: Entregar-me-hiam os cidadãos de Keila, a mim e aos meus homens, nas mãos de Saul? E disse o Senhor: Entregariam.

Then said David, Will the men of Ke'ilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul! And the Lord said, They will surrender.

13 Então se levantou David com os seus homens, uns seiscentos, e sairam de Keila, e foram-se aonde poderam: e sendo annunciado a Saul, que David escapara de Keila, cessou de sair contra elle.

Then arose David and his men, about six hundred men, and departed out of Ke'ilah, and wandered about whithersoever they could go. And when it was told to Saul that David was escaped from Ke'ilah, he forbore to go forth.

14 E David permaneceu no deserto, nos logares fortes, e ficou em um monte no deserto de Ziph: e Saul o buscava todos os dias, porém Deus não o entregou na sua mão.

And David remained in the wilderness in strong-holds, and abode on the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him all the time, but God delivered him not into his hand.

15 Vendo pois David, que Saul sairá á busca da sua vida, David esteve no deserto de Ziph, n'um bosque.

And David saw that Saul was gone forth to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the forest.

16 Então se levantou Jonathan, filho de Saul, e foi para David ao bosque, e confortou a sua mão em Deus;

And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose and went to David into the forest, and strengthened his hand in God.

17 E disse-lhe: Não temas, que não te achará a mão de Saul, meu pae, porém tu reinarás sobre Israel, e eu serei comtigo o segundo: o que tambem Saul meu pae, bem sabe.

And he said unto him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou wilt be king over Israel, and I will be next unto thee; and also Saul my father knoweth this.

18 E ambos fizeram alliança perante o Senhor: David ficou no bosque, e Jonathan voltou para a sua casa.

And they made, both of them, a covenant before the Lord: and David remained in the forest; but Jonathan went to his house.

19 Então subiram os zipheos a Saul, a Gibeah, dizendo: Não se escondeu David entre nós, nos logares fortes no bosque, no outeiro de Hachila, que está á mão direita de Jesimon?

Then came up the Ziphites unto Saul to Gib'ah, saying, Behold, David is hiding himself with us in the strong-holds in the forest, on the hill of Chachilah, which is on the right of the desert.

20 Agora pois, ó rei, apressadamente desce conforme a todo o desejo da tua alma; por nós fica entregar-mol-o nas mãos do rei.

And now in accordance with all the longing of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand.

21 Então disse Saul: Bemditos sejaes vós do Senhor, porque vos compadecestes de mim.

And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ye have pity on me.

22 Ide pois, e diligenciae ainda mais, e sabei e notae o logar que frequenta, e quem o tenha visto ali; porque me foi dito que é astutissimo.

Go, I pray you, make yet more preparations, and remark and see his place where his foot may be, who hath seen him there; for I am told that he dealeth with great subtilty.

23 Pelo que attentae bem, e informae-vos ácerca de todos os esconderijos, em que elle se esconde; e então voltae para mim com toda a certeza, e ir-me-hei comvosco; e ha de ser que, se estiver n'aquella terra, o buscarei entre todos os milhares de Judah.

See therefore, and remark every one of all the lurking-places where he usually hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.

24 Então se levantaram elles, e se foram a Ziph, diante de Saul: David porém e os seus homens estavam no deserto de Maon, na campanha, á direita de Jesimon.

And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Ma'on, in the plain on the right of the desert.

25 E Saul e os seus homens se foram em busca d'elle; o que annunciaram a David, e desceu para aquella penha, e ficou no deserto de Maon: o que ouvindo Saul, seguiu a David para o deserto de Maon.

And Saul and his men went to make a search. And they told it to David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Ma'on. And when Saul heard this, he pursued after David into the wilderness of Ma'on.

26 E Saul ia d'esta banda do monte, e David e os seus homens da outra banda do monte: e succedeu que David se apressou a escapar de Saul; Saul porém e os seus homens cercaram a David e aos seus homens, para lançar mão d'elles.

And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away from before Saul; and Saul and his men were compassing David and his men to seize them.

27 Então veiu um mensageiro a Saul, dizendo: Apressa-te, e vem, porque os philisteos com impeto entraram na terra.

But a messenger came unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.

28 Pelo que Saul voltou de perseguir a David, e foi-se ao encontro dos philisteos: por esta razão aquelle logar se chamou Sela-hammahlecoth.

Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammachlekoth.

29 E subiu David d'ali, e ficou nos logares fortes de Engedi.

And David went up from there, and dwelt in strong-holds of 'En-gedi.
