1 Samuel 26
1 E vieram os zipheos a Saul, a Gibeah, dizendo: Não está David escondido no outeiro d'Hachila, á entrada de Jesimon?
And the Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, David is hidden on the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite the wilderness.”
2 Então Saul se levantou, e desceu ao deserto de Ziph, e com elle tres mil homens escolhidos de Israel, a buscar a David no deserto de Ziph.
And Saul rose up, and he descended into the desert of Ziph, and with him three thousand elect men of Israel, so that he might seek David in the desert of Ziph.
3 E acampou-se Saul no outeiro d'Hachila, que está á entrada de Jesimon, junto ao caminho: porém David ficou no deserto, e viu que Saul vinha após d'elle ao deserto.
And Saul encamped at Gibeah on Hachilah, which was opposite the wilderness on the way. But David was living in the desert. Then, seeing that Saul had arrived after him in the wilderness,
4 Pois David enviou espias, e soube que Saul vinha decerto.
he sent explorers, and he learned that he certainly had arrived in that place.
5 E David se levantou, e veiu ao logar onde Saul se tinha acampado; viu David o logar onde se tinha deitado Saul, e Abner, filho de Ner, chefe do seu exercito: e Saul estava deitado dentro do logar dos carros, e o povo estava acampado ao redor d'elle.
And David rose up secretly, and he went to the place where Saul was. And when he had seen the place where Saul was sleeping, and Abner, the son of Ner, the leader of his military, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the remainder of the common people all around him,
6 E respondeu David, e fallou a Achimelech, o hetheo, e a Abisai, filho de Zeruia, irmão de Jacob, dizendo: Quem descerá comigo a Saul ao arraial? E disse Abisai: Eu descerei comtigo.
David spoke to Ahimelech, the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, saying, “Who will descend with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will descend with you.”
7 Vieram pois David e Abisai de noite ao povo, e eis que Saul estava deitado dormindo dentro do logar dos carros, e a sua lança estava pregada na terra á sua cabeceira: e Abner e o povo deitavam-se ao redor d'elle.
Therefore, David and Abishai went to the people by night, and they found Saul lying down and sleeping in the tent, with his spear fixed in the ground at his head. And Abner and the people were sleeping all around him.
8 Então disse Abisai a David: Deus te entregou hoje nas mãos a teu inimigo; deixa-m'o pois agora encravar com a lança d'uma vez com a terra, e não o ferirei segunda vez
And Abishai said to David: “God has enclosed your enemy this day in your hands. Now therefore, I will pierce him with my lance, through to the ground, once, and there will not need to be a second.”
9 E disse David a Abisai: Nenhum damno lhe faças: porque quem estendeu a sua mão contra o ungido do Senhor, e ficou innocente?
And David said to Abishai: “You shall not kill him. For who may extend his hand against the Christ of the Lord, and yet be innocent?”
10 Disse mais David: Vive o Senhor, que o Senhor o ferirá, ou o seu dia chegará em que morra, ou descerá para a batalha e perecerá;
And David said: “As the Lord lives, unless the Lord himself will strike him, or unless his day to die will have arrived, or unless, descending into battle, he will perish,
11 O Senhor me guarde, de que eu estenda a mão contra o ungido do Senhor: agora porém toma lá a lança que está á sua cabeceira e a bilha da agua, e vamo-nos.
may the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, take the spear that is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.”
12 Tomou pois David a lança e a bilha da agua, da cabeceira de Saul, e foram-se: e ninguem houve que o visse, nem que o advertisse, nem que acordasse; porque todos estavam dormindo, porque havia caido sobre elles um profundo somno do Senhor.
And so, David took the spear, and the cup of water that was at Saul’s head, and they went away. And there was no one who saw it, or realized it, or awakened, but they were all sleeping. For a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen over them.
13 E David, passando á outra banda, poz-se no cume do monte ao longe, de maneira que entre elles havia grande distancia.
And when David had crossed over to the opposite side, and had stood upon the top of the hill far away, so that there was a great interval between them,
14 E David bradou ao povo, e a Abner, filho de Ner, dizendo: Não responderás, Abner? Então Abner respondeu e disse: Quem és tu, que bradas ao rei
David cried out to the people, and to Abner, the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not respond, Abner?” And responding, Abner said, “Who are you, that you would cry out and disquiet the king?”
15 Então disse David a Abner: Porventura não és varão? e quem ha em Israel como tu, porque, pois, não guardaste tu o rei teu senhor? porque um do povo veiu para destruir o rei teu senhor.
And David said to Abner: “Are you not a man? And who else is like you in Israel? Then why have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people entered, so that he might kill the king, your lord.
16 Não é bom isto, que fizeste; vive o Senhor, que sois dignos de morte, vós que não guardastes a vosso senhor, o ungido do Senhor: vede pois agora onde está a lança do rei, e a bilha da agua, que tinha á sua cabeceira.
This is not good, what you have done. As the Lord lives, you are sons of death, because you have not guarded your lord, the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, where is the king’s spear, and where is the cup of water that was at his head?”
17 Então conheceu Saul a voz de David, e disse: Não é esta a tua voz, meu filho David? E disse David: Minha voz é, ó rei meu senhor.
Then Saul recognized the voice of David, and he said, “Is this not your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.”
18 Disse mais: Porque persegue o meu senhor assim o seu servo? porque, que fiz eu? e que maldade se acha nas minhas mãos?
And he said: “For what reason has my lord pursued his servant? What have I done? Or what evil is there in my hand?
19 Ouve pois agora, te rogo, rei meu senhor, as palavras de teu servo: Se o Senhor te incita contra mim, cheire elle a offerta de manjares; porém se os filhos dos homens, malditos sejam perante o Senhor: pois elles me teem expellido hoje para que eu não fique apegado á herança do Senhor, dizendo: Vae, serve a outros deuses.
Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king, to the words of your servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, let him make the sacrifice fragrant. But if the sons of men have done so, they are accursed in the sight of the Lord, who has cast me out this day, so that I would not live within the inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve strange gods.’
20 Agora pois não se derrame o meu sangue na terra diante do Senhor: pois saiu o rei d'Israel em busca d'uma pulga; como quem persegue uma perdiz nos montes.
And now, let not my blood be poured out upon the earth before the Lord. For the king of Israel has gone out, so that he might seek a flea, just as the partridge is pursued amid the mountains.”
21 Então disse Saul: Pequei; volta, meu filho David, porque não ordenarei a fazer-te mal; porque foi hoje preciosa a minha vida aos teus olhos: eis que fiz loucamente, e errei grandissimamente.
And Saul said: “I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will never again do evil to you, because my life has been precious in your eyes this day. For it is apparent that I have acted senselessly, and have been ignorant of very many things.”
22 David então respondeu, e disse: Eis aqui a lança do rei; passe cá um dos mancebos, e leve-a.
And responding, David said: “Behold, the king’s spear. Let one of the servants of the king cross over and take it.
23 O Senhor porém pague a cada um a sua justiça e a sua lealdade; pois o Senhor te tinha dado hoje na minha mão, porém não quiz estender a minha mão contra o ungido do Senhor.
And the Lord will repay each one according to his justice and faith. For the Lord has delivered you this day into my hand, but I was not willing to extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord.
24 E eis que assim como foi a tua vida hoje de tanta estima aos meus olhos, d'outra tanta estima seja a minha vida aos olhos do Senhor, e elle me livre de toda a tribulação.
And just as your soul has been magnified this day in my eyes, so let my soul be magnified in the eyes of the Lord, and may he free me from all distress.”
25 Então Saul disse a David: Bemdito sejas tu, meu filho David; pois grandes coisas farás e tambem prevalecerás. Então David se foi pelo seu caminho e Saul voltou para o seu logar.
Then Saul said to David: “You are blessed, my son David. And whatever you may do, it shall certainly succeed.” And David departed on his way. And Saul returned to his place.
