< 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.
And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
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 gather together, and they encamp in the valley, 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 stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was 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 forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four 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 upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
6 E trazia grevas de bronze por cima de seus pés, e um escudo de bronze entre os seus ombros.
And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] 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 the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-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 to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and you Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, 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.
And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall strike me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and strike him, you shall 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, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
11 Ouvindo então Saul e todo o Israel estas palavras do philisteu, espantaram-se, e temeram muito.
And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
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.
[And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man amongst men in the days of Saul. ]
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 elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
14 E David era o menor; e os três maiores seguiram a Saul.
[And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
15 David porém foi-se e voltou de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pai em Beth-lehem.
[And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
16 Chegava-se pois o philisteu pela manhã e à tarde; e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.
[And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up 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 Jessae said to David, Take now to your brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to your brothers. ]
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 you shall carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and you shall see how your brethren fare, and learn what they lack. ]
19 E estavam Saul, e eles, e todos os homens de Israel no vale do carvalho, pelejando com os philisteus.
[And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring 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 early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they shouted for the battle. ]
21 E os israelitas e philisteus se puseram em ordem, fileira contra fileira.
[And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
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 deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
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 while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
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 before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
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 you seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall strike him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall 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 spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall strike that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army 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 spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall strike 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 elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why have you thus come down, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the naughtiness of your heart, for you are come down to see the battle. ]
29 Então disse David: Que fiz eu agora? porventura não há razão para isso?
[And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
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 from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
31 E, ouvidas as palavras que David havia falado, as anunciaram a Saul, e mandou em busca dele.
[And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
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 not, I pray you, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: your 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, You will not in anyway be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are a mere 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 to Saul, Your servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep 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.
then I went forth after him, and struck him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and struck him, and killed 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.
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and strike him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army 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.
The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with you.
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 clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
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 he girded David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from 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 he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached 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 advanced and drew near to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
42 E, olhando o philisteu, e vendo a David, o desprezou, porquanto era mancebo, ruivo, e de gentil aspecto.
And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with 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 to David, Am I as a dog, that you come against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] 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 your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
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.
And David said to the Philistine, You come to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to you in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which you have 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. And the Lord shall deliver you this day into my hand; and I will kill you, and take away your head from off you, and will give your limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall 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 all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.
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 the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
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 stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
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 a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him, and 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.
And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and killed him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and 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 Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
53 Então voltaram os filhos de Israel de perseguirem os philisteus, e despojaram os seus arraiais.
And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed 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 armour 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 going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As your sould lives, O King, I know not.
56 Disse então o rei: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho este mancebo.
And the king said, Do you ask whose son this youth 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, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was 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 are you, young man? and David said, The son of your servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
