1 Samuel 25

1 E morreu Samuel, e juntou-se todo Israel, e o choraram, e o sepultaram em sua casa em Ramá. E levantou-se Davi, e se foi ao deserto de Parã.

And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

2 E em Maom havia um homem que tinha sua riqueza no Carmelo, o qual era muito rico, que tinha três mil ovelhas e mil cabras. E aconteceu achar-se tosquiando suas ovelhas no Carmelo.

And 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 O nome daquele homem era Nabal, e o nome de sua mulher, Abigail. E era aquela mulher de bom entendimento e de boa aparência; mas o homem era duro e de maus feitos; e era da linhagem de Calebe.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

4 E ouviu Davi no deserto que Nabal tosquiava suas ovelhas.

And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

5 Então enviou Davi dez criados, e disse-lhes: Subi ao Carmelo, e ide a Nabal, e saudai-lhe em meu nome.

And David sent out ten young men, and David said to the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

6 E dizei-lhe assim: Que vivas e seja paz a ti, e paz à tua família, e paz a tudo quanto tens.

And thus shall you say to him that lives in prosperity, Peace be both to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

7 Há pouco soube que tens tosquiadores. Agora, aos pastores teus que estiveram conosco, nunca lhes maltratamos, nem lhes faltou algo em todo aquele tempo que estiveram no Carmelo.

And now I have heard that you have shearers: now your shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there anything missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel.

8 Pergunta a teus criados, que eles te dirão. Portanto que estes criados achem favor em teus olhos, pois viemos em um bom dia; rogo-te que dês o que tiveres à mão a teus servos, e a teu filho Davi.

Ask your young men, and they will show you. Why let the young men find favor in your eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray you, whatever comes to your hand to your servants, and to your son David.

9 E quando chegaram os criados de Davi, disseram a Nabal todas estas palavras em nome de Davi, e se calaram.

And when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

10 E Nabal respondeu aos criados de Davi, e disse: Quem é Davi? e quem é o filho de Jessé? Muitos servos há hoje que fogem de seus senhores.

And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

11 Tomarei eu agora meu pão, minha água, e minha carne que matei para meus tosquiadores, e a darei a homens que não sei de onde são?

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men, whom I know not from where they be?

12 E virando-se os criados de Davi, voltaram por seu caminho, e vieram e disseram a Davi todas estas palavras.

So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.

13 Então Davi disse a seus homens: Cinja-se cada um sua espada. E cingiu-se cada um sua espada: também Davi cingiu sua espada; e subiram atrás Davi como quatrocentos homens, e deixaram duzentos com a bagagem.

And David said to his men, Gird you on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred stayed by the stuff.

14 E um dos criados deu aviso a Abigail mulher de Nabal, dizendo: Eis que Davi enviou mensageiros do deserto que saudassem a nosso amo, e ele os insultou.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.

15 Mas aqueles homens nos foram muito bons, e nunca nos maltrataram, nem nenhuma coisa nos faltou em todo aquele tempo que convivido com eles, enquanto estivemos no campo.

But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

16 Eles nos foram por muro de dia e de noite, todos os dias que estivemos com eles apascentando as ovelhas.

They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

17 Agora, pois, entende e olha o que farás, porque o mal está de todo decidido contra nosso amo e contra toda sua casa: pois ele é um homem tão mau, que não há quem podia falar-lhe.

Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

18 Então Abigail tomou logo duzentos pães, e dois odres de vinho, e cinco ovelhas guisadas, e cinco medidas de grão tostado, e cem cachos de uvas passas, e duzentos pães de figos secos, e carregou-o em asnos;

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

19 E disse a seus criados: Ide diante de mim, que eu vos seguirei logo. E nada declarou a seu marido Nabal.

And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

20 E sentando-se sobre um asno desceu por uma parte secreta do monte, e eis que Davi e os seus que vinham de frente a ela, e ela lhes foi ao encontro.

And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.

21 E Davi havia dito: Certamente em vão guardei tudo o que este tem no deserto, sem que nada lhe tenha faltado de tudo quanto é seu; e ele me devolveu 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: and he has requited me evil for good.

22 Assim faça Deus, e assim acrescente aos inimigos de Davi, que daqui à amanhã não tenho de deixar de tudo o que for seu nem ainda macho.

So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that urinates against the wall.

23 E quando Abigail viu a Davi, desceu prontamente do asno, e prostrando-se diante de Davi sobre seu rosto, inclinou-se à terra;

And when Abigail saw David, she hurried, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

24 E lançou-se a seus pés, e disse: Senhor meu, sobre mim seja o pecado; mas rogo-te fale tua serva em teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras de tua serva.

And fell at his feet, and said, On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be: and let your handmaid, I pray you, speak in your audience, and hear the words of your handmaid.

25 Não ponha agora meu senhor seu coração a aquele homem grosseiro, a Nabal; porque conforme seu nome, assim é. O se chama Nabal, e a loucura está com ele: mas eu tua serva não vi os criados de meu senhor, os quais tu enviaste.

Let not my lord, I pray you, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I your handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom you did send.

26 Agora, pois, senhor meu, vive o SENHOR e vive tua alma, que o SENHOR te impediu que viesses a derramar sangue, e vingar-te por tua própria mão. Sejam, pois, como Nabal teus inimigos, e todos os que procuram mal contra meu senhor.

Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the LORD has withheld you from coming to shed blood, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

27 E agora esta bênção que tua serva trouxe a meu senhor, seja dada aos criados que seguem a meu senhor.

And now this blessing which your handmaid has brought to my lord, let it even be given to the young men that follow my lord.

28 E eu te rogo que perdoes a tua serva esta ofensa; pois o SENHOR de certo fará casa firme a meu senhor, porquanto meu senhor faz as guerras do SENHOR, e mal não se achou em ti em teus dias.

I pray you, forgive the trespass of your handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil has not been found in you all your days.

29 Bem que alguém se tenha levantado a perseguir-te e atentar à tua vida, contudo, a alma de meu senhor será ligada no feixe dos que vivem com o SENHOR Deus teu, e ele atirará a alma de teus inimigos como de uma funda.

Yet a man is risen to pursue you, and to seek your soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God; and the souls of your enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

30 E acontecerá que quando o SENHOR fizer com meu senhor conforme todo aquele bem que falou de ti, e te mandar que sejas chefe sobre Israel,

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you ruler over Israel;

31 Então, senhor meu, não te será isto em tropeço e turbação de coração, o que tenhas derramado sangue sem causa, ou que meu senhor se tenha vingado por si mesmo. Guarde-se, pois, meu senhor, e quando o SENHOR fizer bem a meu senhor, lembra-te de tua serva.

That this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood causeless, or that my lord has avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.

32 E disse Davi a Abigail: Bendito seja o SENHOR Deus de Israel, que te enviou para que hoje me encontrasses;

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent you this day to meet me:

33 E bendito seja teu bom-senso, e bendita tu, que me impediste hoje de ir derramar sangue, e de vingar-me por minha própria mão:

And blessed be your advice, and blessed be you, which have kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

34 Porque, vive o SENHOR Deus de Israel que me defendeu de fazer-te mal, que se não te houvesses apressado em vir ao meu encontro, daqui a amanhã não lhe restaria a Nabal macho.

For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, which has kept me back from hurting you, except you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that urinates against the wall.

35 E recebeu Davi de sua mão o que lhe havia trazido, e disse-lhe: Sobe em paz à tua casa, e olha que ouvi tua voz, e te atendi.

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice, and have accepted your person.

36 E Abigail se veio a Nabal, e eis que ele tinha banquete em sua casa como banquete de rei: e o coração de Nabal estava alegre nele, e estava muito embriagado; pelo que ela não lhe declarou pouco nem muito, até que veio o dia seguinte.

And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: why she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

37 Porém à manhã, quando o vinho havia saído de Nabal, referiu-lhe sua mulher aquelas coisas; e se lhe amorteceu o coração, e ficou como pedra.

But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

38 E passados dez dias o SENHOR feriu a Nabal, e morreu.

And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

39 E logo que Davi ouviu que Nabal era morto, disse: Bendito seja o SENHOR que julgou a causa de minha afronta recebida da mão de Nabal, e preservou do mal a seu servo; e o SENHOR devolveu a malícia de Nabal sobre sua própria cabeça. Depois enviou Davi a falar a Abigail, para tomá-la por sua mulher.

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept his servant from evil: for the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

40 E os criados de Davi vieram a Abigail no Carmelo, e falaram com ela, dizendo: Davi nos enviou a ti, para tomar-te por sua mulher.

And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David sent us to you, to take you to him to wife.

41 E ela se levantou, e inclinou seu rosto à terra, dizendo: Eis que tua serva, para que seja serva que lave os pés dos servos de meu senhor.

And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let your handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

42 E levantando-se logo Abigail com cinco moças que a seguiam, montou-se em um asno, e seguiu os mensageiros de Davi, e foi sua mulher.

And Abigail hurried, and arose and rode on an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 Também tomou Davi a Ainoã de Jezreel, e ambas foram suas mulheres.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

44 Porque Saul havia dado sua filha Mical mulher de Davi, a Palti filho de Laís, que era de Galim.

But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
