Chapter 30

And 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;

Sucedeu, pois, que, chegando Davi e os seus homens ao terceiro dia a Ziclague, os amalequitas tinham feito uma incursão sobre o Negebe, e sobre Ziclague, e tinham ferido a Ziclague e a tinham queimado a fogo;   

And 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.

e 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.   

So 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.

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

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

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

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

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

And 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.

Também Davi se angustiou; pois o povo falava em apedrejá-lo, porquanto a alma de todo o povo estava amargurada por causa de seus filhos e de suas filhas. Mas Davi se fortaleceu no Senhor seu Deus.   

And 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.

Disse Davi a Abiatar, o sacerdote, filho de Aimeleque: Traze-me aqui o éfode. E Abiatar trouxe o éfode a Davi.   

And 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.

Então consultou Davi ao Senhor, dizendo: Perseguirei eu a esta tropa? alcançá-la-ei? Respondeu-lhe o Senhor: Persegue-a; porque de certo a alcançarás e tudo recobrarás.   

So 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.

Ao que partiu Davi, ele e os seiscentos homens que com ele se achavam, e chegaram ao ribeiro de Besor, onde pararam os que tinham ficado para trás.   

But 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.

Mas Davi ainda os perseguia, com quatrocentos homens, enquanto que duzentos ficaram atrás, por não poderem, de cansados que estavam, passar o ribeiro de Besor.   

And 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;

Ora, acharam no campo um egípcio, e o trouxeram a Davi; deram-lhe pão a comer, e água a beber;   

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.

deram-lhe também um pedaço de massa de figos secos e dois cachos de passas. Tendo ele comido, voltou-lhe o ânimo; pois havia três dias e três noites que não tinha comido pão nem bebido água.   

And 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.

Então Davi lhe perguntou: De quem és tu, e donde vens? Respondeu ele: Sou um moço egípcio, servo dum amalequita; e o meu senhor me abandonou, porque adoeci há três dias.   

We 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.

Nós fizemos uma incursão sobre o Negebe dos queretitas, sobre o de Judá e sobre o de Calebe, e pusemos fogo a Ziclague.   

And 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.

Perguntou-lhe Davi: Poderias descer e guiar-me a essa tropa? Respondeu ele: Jura-me tu por Deus que não me matarás, nem me entregarás na mão de meu senhor, e eu descerei e te guiarei a essa tropa.   

And 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.

Desceu, pois, e o guiou; e eis que eles estavam espalhados sobre a face de toda a terra, comendo, bebendo e dançando, por causa de todo aquele grande despojo que haviam tomado da terra dos filisteus e a terra de Judá.   

And 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.

Então Davi os feriu, desde o crepúsculo até a tarde do dia seguinte, e nenhum deles escapou, senão só quatrocentos mancebos que, montados sobre camelos, fugiram.   

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

Assim recobrou Davi tudo quanto os amalequitas haviam tomado; também libertou as suas duas mulheres.   

And 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.

De modo que não lhes faltou coisa alguma, nem pequena nem grande, nem filhos nem filhas, nem qualquer coisa de tudo quanto os amalequitas lhes haviam tomado; tudo Davi tornou a trazer.   

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

Davi lhes tomou também todos os seus rebanhos e manadas; e o povo os levava adiante do outro gado, e dizia: Este é o despojo de Davi.   

And 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.

Quando Davi chegou aos duzentos homens que, de cansados que estavam, não tinham podido segui-los, e que foram obrigados a ficar ao pé do ribeiro de Besor, estes saíram ao encontro de Davi e do povo que com ele vinha; e Davi, aproximando-se deles, os saudou em paz.   

Then 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.

Então todos os malvados e perversos, dentre os homens que tinham ido com Davi, disseram: Visto que não foram conosco, nada lhes daremos do despojo que recobramos, senão a cada um sua mulher e seus filhos, para que os levem e se retirem.   

Then 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.

Mas Davi disse: Não fareis assim, irmãos meus, com o que nos deu o Senhor, que nos guardou e entregou nas nossas mãos a tropa que vinha contra nós.   

For 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.

E quem vos daria ouvidos nisso? pois qual é a parte dos que desceram à batalha, tal será também a parte dos que ficaram com a bagagem; receberão partes.   

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

E assim foi daquele dia em diante, ficando estabelecido por estatuto e direito em Israel até o dia de hoje.   

And 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;

Quando Davi chegou a Ziclague, enviou do despojo presente aos anciãos de Judá, seus amigos, dizendo: Eis aí para vós um presente do despojo dos inimigos do Senhor;   

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

aos de Betel, aos de Ramote do Sul, e aos de Jatir;   

And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,

aos de Aroer, aos de Sifmote, e aos de Estemoa;   

And 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,

aos de Racal, aos das cidades dos jerameelitas, e aos das cidades dos queneus;   

And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,

aos de Horma, aos de Corasã, e aos de Atace;   

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

e aos de Hebrom, e aos de todos os lugares que Davi e os seus homens costumavam freqüentar.
