1 Samuel 25

1 E faleceu 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 lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.

2 E havia um homem em Maon, que tinha as suas possessões no Carmelo: e era este homem mui poderoso, e tinha três 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, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

3 E era o nome deste 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 the woman was intelligent and beautiful, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings; and the man was a Calebite.

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, perguntai-lhe, em meu nome, como está.

So David sent ten young men, and said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

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

Thus you are to say to my brother, 'Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

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

And now, look, I have heard that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us in the wilderness, and we did not hurt them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.

8 Pergunta-o aos teus mancebos, e eles to 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 à mão

Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in 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 falando a Nabal todas aquelas palavras em nome de David, se calaram.

So the young men came and spoke to Nabal according to all those words on David's behalf, but he behaved arrogantly.

10 E Nabal respondeu aos criados de David, e disse: Quem é David, e quem o filho de Jessé? muitos servos há 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 água, e a carne das minhas rezes que degolei para os meus tosquiadores, e o daria a homens que eu não sei de onde veem?

Shall I then take my bread, and my wine, and my meat that I have slaughtered for the shearers of my sheep, and give it to men who I do not know where they come from?"

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

So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to 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 também 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." So 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 dentre os mancebos o anunciou a Abigail, mulher de Nabal, dizendo: Eis que David enviou mensageiros desde o deserto a saudar o nosso amo; porém ele se lançou a eles.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them.

15 Todavia, aqueles homens teem-nos sido muito bons, e nunca fomos agravados deles, e nada nos faltou em todos os dias que conversamos com eles quando estávamos no campo.

But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we 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 andamos com eles 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 as de fazer, porque já de todo determinado está o mal contra o nosso amo e contra toda a sua casa, e ele é um tal filho de Belial, que não há quem lhe possa falar.

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 pôs sobre jumentos.

Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures 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. Look, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband.

20 E sucedeu que, andando ela montada num jumento, desceu pelo encoberto do monte, e eis que David e os seus homens lhe vinham ao encontro, e encontrou-se com eles.

It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that look, 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 ele me pagou mal por bem.

Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I 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 à manhã de tudo o que tem, mesmo até um menino.

God do so to 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 à terra.

When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and got off from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground at his feet.

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

And she said, "On me, my lord, be the guilt; and please let your servant speak to you directly, and 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 ele qual é o seu nome. Nabal é o seu nome, e a loucura está com ele, e eu, tua serva, não vi os mancebos de meu senhor, que enviaste.

Please do not let my lord regard this worthless fellow, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, did not see the 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, tais quais Nabal sejam os teus inimigos e os que procuram mal contra o meu senhor.

Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD 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 à 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 the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.

29 E, levantando-se algum homem para te perseguir, e para procurar a tua morte; contudo 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 côncavo de uma funda.

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

30 E há 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 shall come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,

31 Então, meu senhor, não te será por tropeço, nem por pesar 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 will have no cause of grief or a troubled conscience for my lord, that blood was shed without cause and that my lord has gained victory by his own hand. And when the LORD has done well with my lord, then remember your servant."

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

David said to Abigail, "Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.

33 E bendito o teu conselho, e bendita 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, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

34 Porque, na verdade, vive o Senhor Deus de 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting 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 à tua casa; vês aqui que tenho dado ouvidos à tua voz, e tenho aceitado a tua face

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. Look, 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 nele, e ele já mui embriagado, pelo que não lhe deu a entender palavra alguma, pequena nem grande, até à luz da manhã

Abigail came to Nabal; and look, 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, less or more, until the morning light.

37 Sucedeu pois que pela manhã, havendo já saído de Nabal o vinho, sua mulher lhe deu a entender aquelas palavras: e se amorteceu nele, o seu coração, e ficou ele como pedra.

It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

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

It happened about ten days after, that the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.

39 E, ouvindo David que Nabal morrera, disse: bendito seja o Senhor, que pleiteou o pleito da minha afronta 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 falar a Abigail, para toma-la por sua mulher.

And David heard, and he said, "Blessed is the LORD, who has taken my side in the matter of Nabal's insult, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.

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

When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you, to take you to be his wife."

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

She got up and bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, "Look, your servant is a lowly servant to wash the feet of your servants. "

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

Then Abigail got up quickly and rode on a donkey, and with five female servants following her; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 Também tomou David a Achinoam de Jizreel: e também 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 Mikal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
