1 Samuel 25

1 E falleceu Samuel, e todo o Israel se ajuntou, e o prantearam, e o sepultaram na sua casa, em Rama. E David, se levantou e desceu ao deserto de Paran.

AND Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

2 E havia um homem em Maon, que tinha as suas possessões no Carmelo: e era este homem mui poderoso, e tinha tres mil ovelhas e mil cabras: e estava tosquiando as suas ovelhas no Carmelo.

And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

3 E era o nome d'este homem Nabal, e o nome de sua mulher Abigail; e era a mulher de bom entendimento e formosa, porém o homem era duro, e maligno nas obras, e era da casa de Caleb.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

4 E ouviu David no deserto que Nabal tosquiava as suas ovelhas,

And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

5 E enviou David dez mancebos, e disse aos mancebos: Subi ao Carmelo, e, vindo a Nabal, perguntae-lhe, em meu nome, como está.

And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

6 E assim direis áquelle prospero: Paz tenhas, e que a tua casa tenha paz, e tudo o que tens tenha paz!

And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

7 Agora, pois, tenho ouvido que tens tosquiadores: ora os pastores que tens estiveram comnosco; aggravo nenhum lhes fizemos, nem coisa alguma lhes faltou todos os dias que estiveram no Carmelo.

And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

8 Pergunta-o aos teus mancebos, e elles t'o dirão; estes mancebos pois achem graça em teus olhos, porque viemos em bom dia: dá pois a teus servos e a David, teu filho, o que achares á mão

Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

9 Chegando pois os mancebos de David, e fallando a Nabal todas aquellas palavras em nome de David, se calaram.

And when David’s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

10 E Nabal respondeu aos creados de David, e disse: Quem é David, e quem o filho de Jessé? muitos servos ha hoje, que cada um foge a seu senhor.

And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

11 Tomaria eu pois o meu pão, e a minha agua, e a carne das minhas rezes que degolei para os meus tosquiadores, e o daria a homens que eu não sei d'onde veem?

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?

12 Então os mancebos de David se tornaram para o seu caminho: e voltaram, e vieram, e lhe annunciaram tudo conforme a todas estas palavras.

So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.

13 Pelo que disse David aos seus homens: Cada um cinja a sua espada. E cada um cingiu a sua espada, e cingiu tambem David a sua: e subiram após David uns quatrocentos homens, e duzentos ficaram com a bagagem.

And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.

14 Porém um d'entre os mancebos o annunciou a Abigail, mulher de Nabal, dizendo: Eis que David enviou mensageiros desde o deserto a saudar o nosso amo; porém elle se lançou a elles.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.

15 Todavia, aquelles homens teem-nos sido muito bons, e nunca fomos aggravados d'elles, e nada nos faltou em todos os dias que conversámos com elles quando estavamos no campo.

But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

16 De muro em redor nos serviram, assim de dia como de noite, todos os dias que andámos com elles apascentando as ovelhas.

They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

17 Olha pois, agora, e vê o que has de fazer, porque já de todo determinado está o mal contra o nosso amo e contra toda a sua casa, e elle é um tal filho de Belial, que não ha quem lhe possa fallar.

Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

18 Então Abigail se apressou, e tomou duzentos pães, e dois odres de vinho, e cinco ovelhas guisadas, e cinco medidas de trigo tostado, e cem cachos de passas, e duzentas pastas de figos passados, e os poz sobre jumentos.

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

19 E disse aos seus mancebos: Ide adiante de mim, eis que vos seguirei de perto. O que, porém, não declarou a seu marido Nabal.

And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

20 E succedeu que, andando ella montada n'um jumento, desceu pelo encoberto do monte, e eis que David e os seus homens lhe vinham ao encontro, e encontrou-se com elles.

And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.

21 E disse David: Na verdade que em vão tenho guardado tudo quanto este tem no deserto, e nada lhe faltou de tudo quanto tem, e elle me pagou mal por bem.

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.

22 Assim faça Deus aos inimigos de David, e outro tanto, se eu deixar até á manhã de tudo o que tem, mesmo até um menino.

So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

23 Vendo pois Abigail a David, apressou-se, e desceu do jumento, e prostrou-se sobre o seu rosto diante de David, e se inclinou á terra.

And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

24 E lançou-se a seus pés, e disse: Ah, Senhor meu, minha seja a transgressão; deixa pois fallar a tua serva aos teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras da tua serva.

And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

25 Meu senhor, agora não faça este homem de Belial, a saber, Nabal, impressão no seu coração, porque tal é elle qual é o seu nome. Nabal é o seu nome, e a loucura está com elle, e eu, tua serva, não vi os mancebos de meu senhor, que enviaste.

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

26 Agora, pois, meu senhor, vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, que o Senhor te impediu de vires com sangue, e de que a tua mão te salvasse: e, agora, taes quaes Nabal sejam os teus inimigos e os que procuram mal contra o meu senhor.

Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

27 E agora esta é a benção que trouxe a tua serva a meu senhor: dê-se aos mancebos que andam após das pisadas de meu senhor.

And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

28 Perdôa pois á tua serva esta transgressão, porque certamente fará o Senhor casa firme a meu senhor, porque meu senhor guerreia as guerras do Senhor, e não se tem achado mal em ti por todos os teus dias

I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the Lord, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

29 E, levantando-se algum homem para te perseguir, e para procurar a tua morte; comtudo a vida de meu senhor será atada no feixe dos que vivem com o Senhor teu Deus; porém a vida de teus inimigos se arrojará ao longe, como do meio do concavo de uma funda.

Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

30 E ha de ser que, usando o Senhor com o meu senhor conforme a todo o bem que já tem dito de ti, e te tiver estabelecido chefe sobre Israel,

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

31 Então, meu senhor, não te será por tropeço, nem por pezar no coração, o sangue que sem causa derramaste, nem tão pouco o haver-se salvado meu senhor a si mesmo: e quando o Senhor fizer bem a meu senhor, lembra-te então da tua serva.

That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the Lord shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

32 Então David disse a Abigail: Bemdito o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje te enviou ao meu encontro.

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:

33 E bemdito o teu conselho, e bemdita tu, que hoje me estorvaste de vir com sangue, e de que a minha mão me salvasse.

And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

34 Porque, na verdade, vive o Senhor Deus d'Israel, que me impediu de que te fizesse mal, que se tu não te apressaras, e me não vieras ao encontro, não ficaria a Nabal pela luz da manhã nem mesmo um menino.

For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

35 Então David tomou da sua mão o que tinha trazido, e lhe disse: Sobe em paz á tua casa; vês aqui que tenho dado ouvidos á tua voz, e tenho acceitado a tua face

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

36 E, vindo Abigail a Nabal, eis que tinha em sua casa um banquete, como banquete de rei; e o coração de Nabal estava alegre n'elle, e elle já mui embriagado, pelo que não lhe deu a entender palavra alguma, pequena nem grande, até á luz da manhã

And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

37 Succedeu pois que pela manhã, havendo já saido de Nabal o vinho, sua mulher lhe deu a entender aquellas palavras: e se amorteceu n'elle, o seu coração, e ficou elle como pedra.

But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

38 E aconteceu que, passados quasi dez dias, feriu o Senhor a Nabal, e este morreu.

And it came to pass about ten days after, that the Lord smote Nabal, that he died.

39 E, ouvindo David que Nabal morrera, disse: Bemdito seja o Senhor, que pleiteou o pleito da minha affronta da mão de Nabal, e deteve a seu servo do mal, fazendo o Senhor tornar o mal de Nabal sobre a sua cabeça. E mandou David fallar a Abigail, para tomal-a por sua mulher.

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

40 Vindo pois os creados de David a Abigail, no Carmelo, lhe fallaram, dizendo: David nos tem mandado a ti, para te tomar por sua mulher.

And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

41 Então ella se levantou, e se inclinou com o rosto em terra, e disse: Eis aqui a tua serva servirá de creada para lavar os pés dos creados de meu senhor.

And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

42 E Abigail se apressou, e se levantou, e montou n'um jumento com as suas cinco moças que seguiam as suas pisadas: e ella seguiu os mensageiros de David, e foi sua mulher.

And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 Tambem tomou David a Achinoam de Jizreel: e tambem ambas foram suas mulheres.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

44 Porque Saul tinha dado sua filha Michal, mulher de David, a Phalti, filho de Lais, o qual era de Gallim.

But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
