1 Samuel 30

1Sucedeu, pois, que, chegando Davi e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Ziclague, já os amalequitas tinham invadido o sul, e Ziclague, e tinham ferido a Ziclague e a tinham queimado a fogo.

1And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

2E tinham levado cativas as mulheres, e todos os que estavam nela, tanto pequenos como grandes; a ninguém, porém, mataram, tão-somente os levaram consigo, e foram o seu caminho.

2And had taken the women captives, that {were} therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried {them} away, and went on their way.

3E Davi e os seus homens chegaram à cidade e eis que estava queimada a fogo, e suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas tinham sido levados cativos.

3So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, {it was} burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

4Então Davi e o povo que se achava com ele alçaram a sua voz, e choraram, até que neles não houve mais forças para chorar.

4Then David and the people that {were} with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

5Também as duas mulheres de Davi foram levadas cativas; Ainoã, a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita.

5And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6E Davi muito se angustiou, porque o povo falava de apedrejá-lo, porque a alma de todo o povo estava em amargura, cada um por causa dos seus filhos e das suas filhas; todavia Davi se fortaleceu no Senhor seu Deus.

6And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. {grieved: Heb. bitter}

7E disse Davi a Abiatar, o sacerdote, filho de Aimeleque: Traze-me, peço-te, aqui o éfode. E Abiatar trouxe o éfode a Davi.

7And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

8Então consultou Davi ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? Alcançá-la-ei? E lhe disse: Persegue-a, porque decerto a alcançarás e tudo libertarás.

8And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake {them}, and without fail recover {all}.

9Partiu, pois, Davi, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde pararam os que ficaram atrás.

9So David went, he and the six hundred men that {were} with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.

10E perseguiu-os Davi, ele e os quatrocentos homens, pois que duzentos homens ficaram, por não poderem, de cansados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor.

10But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

11E acharam no campo um homem egípcio, e o trouxeram a Davi; deram-lhe pão, e comeu, e deram-lhe a beber água.

11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;

12Deram-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.

12And 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.

13Então Davi lhe disse: De quem és tu, e de onde és? E disse o moço egípcio: Sou servo de um homem amalequita, e meu senhor me deixou, porque adoeci há três dias.

13And David said unto him, To whom {belongest} thou? and whence {art} thou? And he said, I {am} a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.

14Nós invadimos o lado do sul dos queretitas, e o lado de Judá, e o lado do sul de Calebe, e pusemos fogo a Ziclague.

14We made an invasion {upon} the south of the Cherethites, and upon {the coast} which {belongeth} to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

15E disse-lhe Davi: Poderias, descendo, guiar-me a essa tropa? E disse-lhe: Por Deus jura-me que não me matarás, nem me entregarás na mão de meu senhor, e, descendo, te guiarei a essa tropa.

15And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.

16E, 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 filisteus e da terra de Judá.

16And when he had brought him down, behold, {they were} spread abroad upon all the earth, 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.

17E feriu-os Davi, desde o crepúsculo até à tarde do dia seguinte; nenhum deles escapou, senão só quatrocentos moços que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram.

17And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled. {the next...: Heb. their morrow}

18Assim salvou Davi tudo quanto tomaram os amalequitas; também as suas duas mulheres salvou Davi.

18And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

19E 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 Davi tornou a trazer.

19And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any {thing} that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

20Também tomou Davi todas as ovelhas e vacas, e levavam-nas adiante do outro gado, e diziam: Este é o despojo de Davi.

20And David took all the flocks and the herds, {which} they drave before those {other} cattle, and said, This {is} David's spoil.

21E, chegando Davi aos duzentos homens que, de cansados que estavam, não puderam seguir a Davi, e que deixaram ficar no ribeiro de Besor, estes saíram ao encontro de Davi e do povo que com ele vinha; e, chegando-se Davi com o povo, os saudou em paz.

21And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that {were} with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them. {saluted...: or, asked them how they did}

22Então todos os maus e perversos, dentre os homens que tinham ido com Davi, 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.

22Then answered all the wicked men and {men} of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them {ought} of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead {them} away, and depart. {those: Heb. men}

23Porém Davi 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.

23Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

24E quem vos daria ouvidos nisso? Porque qual é a parte dos que desceram à peleja, tal também será a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; igualmente repartirão.

24For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part {is} that goeth down to the battle, so {shall} his part {be} that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

25O que assim foi desde aquele dia em diante, porquanto o pôs por estatuto e direito em Israel até ao dia de hoje.

25And it was {so} from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. {forward: Heb. and forward}

26E, chegando Davi a Ziclague, enviou do despojo aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis aí para vós uma bênção do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor;

26And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, {even} to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD; {present: Heb. blessing}

27Aos de Betel, e aos de Ramote do sul, e aos de Jater,

27To {them} which {were} in Bethel, and to {them} which {were} in south Ramoth, and to {them} which {were} in Jattir,

28E aos de Aroer, e aos de Sifmote, e aos de Estemoa,

28And to {them} which {were} in Aroer, and to {them} which {were} in Siphmoth, and to {them} which {were} in Eshtemoa,

29E aos de Racal, e aos que estavam nas cidades jerameelitas e nas cidades dos queneus,

29And to {them} which {were} in Rachal, and to {them} which {were} in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to {them} which {were} in the cities of the Kenites,

30E aos de Hormá, e aos de Corasã, e aos de Ataca,

30And to {them} which {were} in Hormah, and to {them} which {were} in Chorashan, and to {them} which {were} in Athach,

31E aos de Hebrom, e a todos os lugares em que andara Davi, ele e os seus homens.

31And to {them} which {were} in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
