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.

Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then 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.

There was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. 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. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

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

David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing 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.

David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go 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!

Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!

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.

Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the time 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 your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’”

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

When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.

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.

Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

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, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

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 on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.

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.

David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

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 greet our master; and he insulted 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 to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything as long as we went 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 to us both by night and by 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 you will do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t 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 hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

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.

She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell 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.

As she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward 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 I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned 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.

God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a 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.

When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, 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.

She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.

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.

Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.

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 Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies and those who 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.

Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who 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

Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights Yahweh’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your 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.

Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.

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,

It will come to pass, when Yahweh has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince 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 to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”

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

David said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you today 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.

Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my 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 indeed, as Yahweh the God of Israel lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a 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 from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and have granted your request.”

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

Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing 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.

In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things; and 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.

About ten days later, Yahweh struck Nabal, so 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.

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as 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.

When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as 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.

She arose and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is 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.

Abigail hurriedly arose and rode on a donkey with her five maids who followed 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 both became his wives.

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

Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
