< 1 Samuel 30 >
1 E Quando Davi e os seus vieram a Ziclague o terceiro dia, os de Amaleque haviam invadido o sul e a Ziclague, e haviam assolado a Ziclague, e posto-a a fogo.
It came about, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the Negev and on Ziklag. They attacked Ziklag, burned it,
2 E haviam-se levado cativas às mulheres que estavam nela, desde a menor até a maior; mas a ninguém haviam matado, mas sim levado, e ido seu caminho.
and captured the women and everyone who was in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off as they went on their way.
3 Veio, pois Davi com os seus à cidade, e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres e seus filhos e filhas levadas cativas.
When David and his men came to the city, it was burned, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
4 Então Davi e a gente que com ele estava, levantaram sua voz e choraram, até que lhes faltaram as forças para chorar.
Then David and the people that were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more power to weep.
5 As duas mulheres de Davi, Ainoã jezreelita e Abigail a que foi mulher de Nabal do Carmelo, também eram cativas.
David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite woman, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 E Davi foi muito angustiado, porque o povo falava de apedrejá-lo; porque todo aquele povo estava com ânimo amargo, cada um por seus filhos e por suas filhas: mas Davi se esforçou no SENHOR seu Deus.
David was greatly distressed, for the people were talking about stoning him, for all the people were bitter in spirit, each man for his sons and daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh, his God.
7 E disse Davi ao sacerdote Abiatar filho de Aimeleque: Eu te rogo que me tragas o éfode. E Abiatar trouxe o éfode a Davi.
David said to Abiathar son of Ahimelech, the priest, “I beg you, bring the ephod here for me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 E Davi consultou ao SENHOR, dizendo: Seguirei esta tropa? Poderei alcançá-la? E ele lhe disse: Segue-a que de certo a alcançarás, e sem falta livrarás a presa.
David prayed to Yahweh for direction, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” Yahweh answered him, “Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will surely recover everything.”
9 Partiu-se, pois, Davi, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele estavam, e vieram até o ribeiro de Besor, de onde se restaram alguns.
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him; they came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 E Davi seguiu o alcance com quatrocentos homens; porque se restaram atrás duzentos, que cansados não puderam passar o ribeiro de Besor.
But David kept pursuing, he and four hundred men; for two hundred had stayed behind, who were so weak that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 E acharam no acampamento um homem egípcio, o qual trouxeram a Davi, e deram-lhe pão que comesse, e a beber água;
They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David; they gave him bread, and he ate; they gave him water to drink;
12 Deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos, e dois cachos de passas. E logo que comeu, voltou nele seu espírito; porque não havia comido pão nem bebido água em três dias e três noites.
and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, he gained strength again, for he had eaten no bread nor drunk any water for three days and three nights.
13 E disse-lhe Davi: De quem és tu? E de onde és? E respondeu o jovem egípcio: Eu sou servo de um amalequita, e deixou-me meu amo hoje há três dias, porque estava enfermo;
David said to him, “To whom do you belong? Where do you come from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; my master left me because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Pois fizemos uma incursão à parte do sul dos queretitas, e a Judá, e ao sul de Calebe; e pusemos fogo a Ziclague.
We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and what belongs to Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag.”
15 E disse-lhe Davi: Tu me levarás a essa tropa? E ele disse: Faze-me juramento por Deus que não me matarás, nem me entregarás nas mãos de meu amo, e eu te levarei a essa gente.
David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this raiding party?” The Egyptian said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or betray me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this raiding party.”
16 Então o levou-o; e eis que estavam dispersos sobre a face de toda aquela terra, comendo e bebendo e fazendo festa, por toda aquela grande presa que haviam tomado da terra dos filisteus, e da terra de Judá.
When the Egyptian had brought David down, the raiders were spread out over all the ground, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the booty they had taken out of the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
17 E feriu-os Davi desde aquela manhã até à tarde do dia seguinte: e não escapou deles nenhum, a não ser quatrocentos rapazes, que haviam subido em camelos e fugiram.
David attacked them from the twilight to the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped except for four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18 E livrou Davi tudo o que os amalequitas haviam tomado: e também libertou Davi a suas duas mulheres.
David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
19 E não lhes faltou coisa pequena nem grande, tanto de filhos como de filhas, do roubo, e de todas as coisas que lhes haviam tomado: todo o recuperou Davi.
Nothing was missing, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither booty, nor anything that the raiders had taken for themselves. David brought back everything.
20 Tomou também Davi todas as ovelhas e gados maiores; e trazendo-o todo adiante, diziam: Esta é a presa de Davi.
David took all the flocks and the herds, which the men drove ahead of the other cattle. They said, “This is David's booty.”
21 E veio Davi aos duzentos homens que haviam restado cansados e não haviam podido perseguir a Davi, aos quais haviam feito restar no ribeiro de Besor; e eles saíram a receber a Davi, e ao povo que com ele estava. E quando Davi chegou à gente, saudou-os com paz.
David came to the two hundred men who had been too weak to follow him, the ones the others had made to stay at the brook Besor. These men went ahead to meet David and the people who were with him. When David came to these people, he greeted them.
22 Então todos os maus e perversos dentre os que haviam ido com Davi, responderam e disseram: Pois que não foram conosco, não lhes daremos da presa que tiramos, a não ser a cada um sua mulher e seus filhos; os quais tomem e se vão.
Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows among those who had gone with David said, “Because these men did not go with us, we will not give them any of the booty that we have recovered. Except that each man may take his wife and children, lead them away, and go.”
23 E Davi disse: Não façais isso, irmãos meus, do que nos deu o SENHOR; o qual nos guardou, e entregou em nossas mãos a caterva que veio sobre nós.
Then David said, “You must not act like this, my brothers, with what Yahweh has given to us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the raiders who came against us.
24 E quem vos escutará neste caso? Porque igual parte será a dos que vem à batalha, e a dos que ficam com a bagagem; que repartam juntos.
Who will listen to you in this matter? For as the share is for anyone who goes into battle, so also will the share be for anyone who waits by the baggage; they will share and share alike.”
25 E desde aquele dia em diante foi isto posto por lei e ordenança em Israel, até hoje.
It has been so from that day to this day, for David made it a statute and a decree for Israel.
26 E quando Davi chegou a Ziclague, enviou da presa aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis aqui uma bênção para vós, da presa dos inimigos do SENHOR.
When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the booty to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “See, here is a present for you from the booty from Yahweh's enemies.”
27 Aos que estavam em Betel, e em Ramote ao sul, e aos que estavam em Jattir;
He also sent some to the elders who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 E aos que estavam em Aroer, e em Sifmote, e aos que estavam em Estemoa;
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa.
29 E aos que estavam em Racal, e aos que estavam nas cidades de Jerameel, e aos que estavam nas cidades dos queneus;
He also sent some to the elders who were in Rakal, 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 que estavam em Hormá, e aos que estavam em Corasã, e aos que estavam em Atace;
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athak,
31 E aos que estavam em Hebrom, e em todos os lugares de onde Davi havia estado com os seus.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men habitually went.
