1 Samuel 23

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

And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they rob 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.

Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.

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, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies 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 inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine 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.

And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew therewith a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

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 Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.

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 Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine 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 summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, 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 knew that Saul devised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar 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, the God of Israel, thy servant hath surely heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, 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 Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD, the 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 Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.

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 David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare 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 abode in the wilderness in the strong holds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, 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 come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.

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

And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, 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 shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.

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

And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and 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 to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in the strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south 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.

Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up 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 had compassion 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 sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, [and] who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.

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 take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me of a 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 among 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 Maon, in the Arabah on the south 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 seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

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 for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.

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

But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon 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.

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

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

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