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.
When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burnt 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 who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t 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.
When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, 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.
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.
David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD 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.
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought 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.
David enquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will 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 couldn’t 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.
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.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for 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.
David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got 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 on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burnt 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.
David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you 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.
When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder 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.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
18 Assim livrou David tudo quanto tomaram aos amalequitas: também as suas duas mulheres livrou David.
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.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
20 Também tomou David todas as ovelhas e vacas, e levavam-nas diante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de David.
David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
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.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted 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 all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder 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, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD 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.
Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with 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.
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;
When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
27 Aos de bethel, e aos de Ramoth do sul, e aos de Jatter,
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
28 E aos de Aroer, e aos de Siphmoth, e aos de Esthemoa,
to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 E aos de Rachal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerahmeelitas e nas cidades dos keneos,
to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 E aos de Horma, e aos de Corasan, e aos de Athak,
to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, 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.
to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
