< 1 Samuel 17 >

1 E os philisteus ajuntaram os seus arraiais para a guerra e congregaram-se em Socoh, que está em Judá, e acamparam-se entre Socoh e Azeka, no termo de Dammim.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
2 Porém Saul e os homens de Israel se ajuntaram e acamparam no vale do carvalho, e ordenaram a batalha contra os philisteus.
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 E os philisteus estavam num monte da banda de além, e os israelitas estavam no outro monte da banda de aquém; e o vale estava entre eles.
And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 Então saiu do arraial dos philisteus um homem guerreiro, cujo nome era Goliath, de Gath, que tinha de altura seis côvados e um palmo.
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 Trazia na cabeça um capacete de bronze, e vestia uma couraça de escamas; e era o peso da couraça de cinco mil siclos de bronze.
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 E trazia grevas de bronze por cima de seus pés, e um escudo de bronze entre os seus ombros.
And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.
7 E a haste da sua lança era como o órgão do tecelão, e o ferro da sua lança de seiscentos siclos de ferro, e diante dele ia o escudeiro.
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and his shield-bearer went before him.
8 E parou, e clamou às companhias de Israel, e disse-lhes: Para que saireis a ordenar a batalha? não sou eu philisteu e vós servos de Saul? escolhei dentre vós um homem que desça a mim.
And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9 Se ele puder pelejar comigo, e me ferir, a vós seremos por servos; porém, se eu o vencer, e o ferir, então a nós sereis por servos, e nos servireis.
If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
10 Disse mais o philisteu: Hoje desafio as companhias de Israel, dizendo: dai-me um homem, para que ambos pelejemos.
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 Ouvindo então Saul e todo o Israel estas palavras do philisteu, espantaram-se, e temeram muito.
And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 E David era filho de um homem, ephrateo, de Beth-lehem de Judá, cujo nome era Jessé, que tinha oito filhos: e nos dias de Saul era este homem já velho e adiantado na idade entre os homens.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken [in years] among men.
13 Foram-se os três filhos mais velhos de Jessé, e seguiram a Saul à guerra: e eram os nomes de seus três filhos, que se foram à guerra, Eliab, o primogênito, e o segundo Abinadab, e o terceiro Samma.
And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 E David era o menor; e os três maiores seguiram a Saul.
And David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 David porém foi-se e voltou de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pai em Beth-lehem.
Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.
16 Chegava-se pois o philisteu pela manhã e à tarde; e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 E disse Jessé a David, seu filho: Toma, peço-te, para teus irmãos um epha deste grão tostado e estes dez pães, e corre a leva-los ao arraial, a teus irmãos.
And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry [them] quickly to the camp to thy brethren;
18 Porém estes dez queijos de leite leva ao chefe de mil; e visitarás a teus irmãos, a ver se lhes vai bem; e tomarás o seu penhor.
and bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
19 E estavam Saul, e eles, e todos os homens de Israel no vale do carvalho, pelejando com os philisteus.
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 David então de madrugada se levantou pela manhã, e deixou as ovelhas a um guarda, e carregou-se, e partiu, como Jessé lhe ordenara: e chegou ao lugar dos carros, quando já o arraial saía em ordem de batalha, e a gritos chamavam à peleja.
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
21 E os israelitas e philisteus se puseram em ordem, fileira contra fileira.
And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
22 E David deixou a carga que trouxera na mão do guarda da bagagem, e correu à batalha; e, chegando, perguntou a seus irmãos se estavam bem.
And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
23 E, estando ele ainda falando com eles, eis que vinha subindo do exército dos philisteus o homem guerreiro, cujo nome era Goliath, o philisteu de Gath e falou conforme àquelas palavras, e David as ouviu.
And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 Porém todos os homens em Israel, vendo aquele homem, fugiam de diante dele e temiam grandemente.
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25 E diziam os homens de Israel: Vistes aquele homem que subiu? pois subiu para afrontar a Israel: há de ser pois que o homem que o ferir o rei o enriquecerá de grandes riquezas, e lhe dará a sua filha, e fará franca a casa de seu pai em Israel.
And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
26 Então falou David aos homens que estavam com ele, dizendo: Que farão àquele homem que ferir a este philisteu, e tirar a afronta de sobre Israel? quem é pois este incircunciso philisteu, para afrontar os exércitos do Deus vivo?
And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 E o povo lhe tornou a falar conforme àquela palavra dizendo: Assim farão ao homem que o ferir.
And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28 E, ouvindo Eliab, seu irmão mais velho, falar àqueles homens, acendeu-se a ira de Eliab contra David, e disse: Porque desceste aqui? e a quem deixaste aquelas poucas ovelhas no deserto? bem conheço a tua presunção, e a maldade do teu coração, que desceste para ver a peleja
And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
29 Então disse David: Que fiz eu agora? porventura não há razão para isso?
And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30 E desviou-se dele para outro, e falou conforme àquela palavra: e o povo lhe tornou a responder conforme às primeiras palavras.
And he turned away from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 E, ouvidas as palavras que David havia falado, as anunciaram a Saul, e mandou em busca dele.
And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 E David disse a Saul: Não desfaleça o coração de ninguém por causa dele: teu servo irá, e pelejará contra este philisteu.
And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 Porém Saul disse a David: Contra este philisteu não poderás ir para pelejar com ele: pois tu ainda és moço, e ele homem de guerra desde a sua mocidade.
And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 Então disse David a Saul: Teu servo apascentava as ovelhas de seu pai; e vinha um leão e um urso, e tomava uma ovelha do rebanho;
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 E eu saí após ele, e o feri, e livrei-a da sua boca: e, levantando-se ele contra mim, lancei-lhe mão da barba, e o feri, e o matei.
I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Assim feriu o teu servo o leão, como o urso: assim será este incircunciso philisteu como um deles; porquanto afrontou os exércitos do Deus vivo.
Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 Disse mais David: O Senhor me livrou da mão do leão, e da do urso; ele me livrará da mão deste philisteu. Então disse Saul a David: vai-te embora, e o Senhor seja contigo.
And David said, Jehovah that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and Jehovah shall be with thee.
38 E Saul vestiu a David dos seus vestidos, e pôs-lhe sobre a cabeça um capacete de bronze: e o vestiu de uma couraça.
And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39 E David cingiu a espada sobre os seus vestidos, e começou a andar; porém nunca o havia experimentado: então disse David a Saul: Não posso andar com isto, pois nunca o experimentei. E David tirou aquilo de sobre si.
And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
40 E tomou o seu cajado na mão, e escolheu para si cinco seixos do ribeiro, e pô-los no alforge de pastor, que trazia, a saber, no surrão, e lançou mão da sua funda: e foi-se chegando ao philisteu.
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 O philisteu também veio e se vinha chegando a David: e o que lhe levava o escudo ia diante dele.
And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
42 E, olhando o philisteu, e vendo a David, o desprezou, porquanto era mancebo, ruivo, e de gentil aspecto.
And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance.
43 Disse pois o philisteu a David: Sou eu algum cão, para tu vires a mim com paus? E o philisteu amaldiçoou a David pelos seus deuses.
And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Disse mais o philisteu a David: Vem a mim, e darei a tua carne às aves do céu e às bestas do campo.
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field.
45 David porém disse ao philisteu: Tu vens a mim com espada, e com lança, e com escudo; porém eu venho a ti em nome do Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus dos exércitos de Israel, a quem tens afrontado.
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 Hoje mesmo o Senhor te entregará na minha mão, e ferir-te-ei, e te tirarei a cabeça, e os corpos do arraial dos philisteus darei hoje mesmo às aves do céu e às bestas da terra: e toda a terra saberá que há Deus em Israel
This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47 E saberá toda esta congregação que o Senhor salva, não com espada, nem com lança; porque do Senhor é a guerra, e ele vos entregará na nossa mão.
and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah’s, and he will give you into our hand.
48 E sucedeu que, levantando-se o philisteu, e indo encontrar-se com David, apressou-se David, e correu ao combate, a encontrar-se com o philisteu.
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 E David meteu a mão no alforge, e tomou dali uma pedra e com a funda lha atirou, e feriu o philisteu na testa, e a pedra se lhe encravou na testa, e caiu sobre o seu rosto em terra.
And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 Assim David prevaleceu contra o philisteu, com uma funda e com uma pedra, e feriu o philisteu, e o matou sem que David tivesse uma espada na mão.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Pelo que correu David, e pôs-se em pé sobre o philisteu, e tomou a sua espada, e tirou-a da bainha, e o matou, e lhe cortou com ela a cabeça: vendo então os philisteus, que o seu campeão era morto, fugiram.
Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 Então os homens de Israel e Judá se levantaram, e jubilaram, e seguiram os philisteus, até chegar ao vale, e até às portas de Ekron: e cairam os feridos dos philisteus pelo caminho de Saaraim até Gath e até Ekron
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53 Então voltaram os filhos de Israel de perseguirem os philisteus, e despojaram os seus arraiais.
And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 E David tomou a cabeça do philisteu, e a trouxe a Jerusalém: porém pôs as armas dele na sua tenda.
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
55 Vendo porém Saul sair David a encontrar-se com o philisteu, disse a Abner, o chefe do exército: De quem é filho este mancebo, Abner? E disse Abner: Vive a tua alma, ó rei, que o não sei
And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
56 Disse então o rei: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho este mancebo.
And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.
57 Voltando pois David de ferir o philisteu, Abner o tomou consigo, e o trouxe à presença de Saul, trazendo ele na mão a cabeça do philisteu.
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 E disse-lhe Saul: De quem és filho, mancebo? E disse David: Filho de teu servo Jessé, beth-lehemita.
And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
