1 Samuel 30
1 Sucedeu pois que, chegando David e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Siclag, já os amalequitas com ímpeto tinham dado sobre o sul, e sobre Siclag, e tinham ferido a Siclag e a tinham queimado a fogo.
And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2 E as mulheres que estavam nela levaram cativas, porém a ninguém mataram, nem pequenos nem grandes; tão somente os levaram consigo, e foram pelo seu caminho.
and had taken captive the women and all that were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3 E David e os seus homens vieram à cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas eram levados cativos.
And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire. And their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4 Então David e o povo que se achava com ele alçaram a sua voz, e choraram, até que neles não houve mais força para chorar.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Também as duas mulheres de David foram levadas cativas; Achinoam, a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita.
And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 E David muito se angustiou, porque o povo falava de apedreja-lo, porque o ânimo de todo o povo estava em amargura, cada um por causa dos seus filhos e das suas filhas: todavia David se esforçou no Senhor seu Deus.
And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
7 E disse David a Abiathar, o sacerdote, filho de Achimelech: Traze-me, peço-te, aqui o éfode. E Abiathar trouxe o éfode a David.
And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought there the ephod to David.
8 Então consultou David ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? alcança-la-ei? E o Senhor lhe disse: Persegue-a, porque decerto a alcançarás, e tudo libertarás.
And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue, for thou shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all.
9 Partiu pois David, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde os que ficaram atráz pararam.
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 E seguiu-os David, ele e os quatrocentos homens, pois que duzentos homens ficaram, por não poderem, de cançados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 E acharam no campo um homem egípcio, e o trouxeram a David: deram-lhe pão, e comeu, e deram-lhe a beber água.
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread. And he ate, and they gave him water to drink.
12 Deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos e dois cachos de passas, e comeu, e voltou-lhe o seu espírito, porque havia três dias e três noites que não tinha comido pão nem bebido água.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him, for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 Então David lhe disse: De quem és tu, e de onde és? E disse o moço egípcio: Sou servo dum homem amalekita, e meu senhor me deixou, porque adoeci há três dias.
And David said to him, To whom do thou belong? And from where are thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite. And my master left me because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Nós demos com ímpeto para a banda do sul dos cherethitas, e para a banda de Judá, e para a banda do sul de Caleb, e pusemos fogo a Siclag.
We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongs to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15 E disse-lhe David: Poderias, descendo, guiar-me a essa tropa? E disse-lhe: Por Deus me jura que me não matarás, nem me entregarás na mão de meu senhor, e, descendo, te guiarei a essa tropa.
And David said to him, Will thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
16 E, descendo, o guiou e eis que estavam espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra, comendo, e bebendo, e dançando, por todo aquele grande despojo que tomaram da terra dos philisteus e da terra de Judá.
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 E feriu-os David, desde o crepúsculo até à tarde do dia seguinte, e nenhum deles escapou, senão só quatrocentos mancebos que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram.
And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. And there escaped not a man of them, except four hundred young men who rode upon camels and fled.
18 Assim livrou David tudo quanto tomaram aos amalequitas: também as suas duas mulheres livrou David.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
19 E ninguém lhes faltou, desde o menor até ao maior, e até os filhos e as filhas; e também desde o despojo até tudo quanto lhes tinham tomado, tudo David tornou a trazer.
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
20 Também tomou David todas as ovelhas e vacas, e levavam-nas diante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de David.
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21 E, chegando David aos duzentos homens que, de cançados que estavam, não puderam seguir a David, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes sairam ao encontro de David e do povo que com ele vinha: e, chegando-se David ao povo, os saudou em paz.
And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor. And they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22 Então todos os maus, e filhos de Belial, dentre os homens que tinham ido com David, responderam, e disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos do despojo que libertamos; mas que leve cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, e se vá.
Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows of those who went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered except to every man his wife and his children that he may lead them away, and depart.
23 Porém David disse: Não fareis assim, irmãos meus, com o que nos deu o Senhor, que nos guardou, e entregou a tropa que contra nós vinha nas nossas mãos.
Then David said, Ye shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Jehovah has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24 E quem a tal vos daria ouvidos? porque qual é a parte dos que desceram à peleja, tal também será a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; igualmente repartirão.
And who will hearken to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle so shall his share be who remains by the baggage; they shall share alike.
25 O que assim foi desde aquele dia em diante, porquanto o pôs por estatuto e direito em Israel até ao dia de hoje.
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 E, chegando David a Siclag, enviou do despojo aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis ai para vós uma benção do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor;
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent from the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
27 Aos de bethel, e aos de Ramoth do sul, e aos de Jatter,
to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 E aos de Aroer, e aos de Siphmoth, e aos de Esthemoa,
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 E aos de Rachal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerahmeelitas e nas cidades dos keneos,
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 E aos de Horma, e aos de Corasan, e aos de Athak,
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 E aos de Hebron, e a todos os lugares em que andara David, ele e os seus homens.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to frequent.
