1 Samuel 17

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now the Philistines gathering together their troops to battle, assembled at Socho of Juda, and camped between Socho and Azeca in the borders of Dommim.	1 Mobilizaram os filisteus as suas tropas para a guerra e concentraram-se em Soco, em Judá. Acamparam entre Soco e Azeca, em Efes-Domim.
2 And Saul and the children of Israel being gathered together came to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines.	2 Saul e os israelitas mobilizaram-se de seu lado e acamparam no vale do Terebinto, pondo-se em linha de combate contra os filisteus.
3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.	3 Estes estavam num lado da montanha e Israel na colina defronte; o vale os separava.
4 And there went out a man baseborn from the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Geth, whose height was six cubits and a span:	4 Saiu do acampamento dos filisteus um campeão chamado Golias, de Get, cujo talhe era de seis côvados e um palmo.
5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass:	5 Trazia na cabeça um capacete de bronze e no corpo uma couraça de escamas, cujo peso era de cinco mil siclos de bronze.
6 And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders.	6 Tinha perneiras de bronze e um dardo de bronze entre os ombros.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him.	7 O cabo de sua lança era como o cilindro de um tear, e sua ponta pesava seiscentos siclos de ferro. Um escudeiro o precedia.
8 And standing he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.	8 Apresentou-se ele diante das tropas israelitas e gritou-lhes: Por que viestes dispostos a uma batalha? Não sou eu filisteu, e vós os escravos de Saul? Escolhei entre vós um homem que desça contra mim.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us.	9 Se ele me vencer, batendo-se comigo, e matar-me, seremos vossos escravos; mas, se eu o vencer e o matar, então sois vós que sereis nossos escravos e nos servireis!
10 And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.	10 E ajuntou: Lanço hoje este desafio ao exército de Israel: dai-me um homem para lutarmos juntos!
11 And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid.	11 Saul e todo o Israel ouviram essas palavras do filisteu, e ficaram consternados, cheios de medo.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Juda before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.	12 Ora, Davi era um dos oito filhos de um efrateu de Belém de Judá, chamado Isaí, já idoso no tempo de Saul.
13 And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and the second Abinadab, and the third Samma.	13 Seus três filhos mais velhos tinham seguido Saul na guerra. Chamavam-se: o primogênito Eliab, Abinadab o segundo e o terceiro Sama.
14 But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul,	14 Davi era o mais novo. Os três mais velhos estavam com Saul,
15 David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father's flock at Bethlehem.	15 e Davi ora ia ao acampamento de Saul, ora voltava para apascentar o rebanho de seu pai em Belém.
16 Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.	16 O filisteu aproximava-se pela manhã e pela tarde, e isso por quarenta dias seguidos.
17 And Isai said to David his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren.	17 Um dia, disse Isaí ao seu filho Davi: Toma para teus irmãos um efá de grão torrado e estes dez pães, e apressa-te a levá-los aos teus irmãos no acampamento.
18 And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed.	18 Entrega estes dez queijos ao chefe dos mil. Informa-te se teus irmãos vão bem e traze algo de sua parte como prova.
19 But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting against the Philistines.	19 Eles estavam com Saul e todos os homens de Israel no vale do Terebinto, em guerra com os filisteus.
20 David therefore arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle.	20 No dia seguinte pela manhã, Davi, confiando o rebanho a um pastor, tomou sua bagagem e partiu, como lhe ordenara Isaí. Chegou ao acampamento no momento em que saía o exército para a batalha, levantando o grito de guerra.
21 For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared.	21 Israel e os filisteus puseram-se em linha de combate, tropa contra tropa.
22 And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle and asked if all things went well with his brethren.	22 Davi entregou sua carga ao guarda das bagagens e correu às fileiras para informar-se de seus irmãos.
23 And as he talked with them, that baseborn man whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them.	23 Enquanto lhes falava, eis que o campeão filisteu, Golias, de Get, avançou para fora das fileiras do seu exército, proferindo o mesmo desafio {como nos dias precedentes}, que Davi escutou.
24 And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly.	24 Todo o Israel recuava à vista do homem, tremendo de medo.
25 And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel.	25 Vedes, diziam eles, esse homem que avança? Ele vem insultar Israel. Aquele que o matar, o rei o cumulará de favores, dar-lhe-á sua filha e isentará de impostos em Israel a casa de seu pai.
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?	26 Davi perguntou aos que estavam perto dele: Que será feito àquele que ferir esse filisteu e tirar o opróbrio que pesa sobre Israel? E quem é esse filisteu incircunciso para insultar desse modo o exército do Deus vivo?
27 And the people answered him the same words saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him.	27 E deram-lhe a mesma resposta: Dar-se-á isto e isto a quem o ferir.
28 Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why earnest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle.	28 Eliab, seu irmão mais velho, ouvindo-o falar assim, encolerizou-se: Por que vieste aqui? Com quem deixaste tuas ovelhas no deserto? Conheço a tua pretensão e a tua má índole; foi para ver a batalha que vieste!
29 And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak?	29 Que fiz eu de mal?, respondeu Davi. Nada mais fiz que uma simples pergunta!
30 And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before.	30 E afastou-se de seu irmão, indo perguntar a outros, dos quais obteve sempre as mesmas respostas.
31 And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul.	31 As palavras de Davi foram ouvidas e comunicadas a Saul, que o mandou vir à sua presença.
32 And when he was brought to him, he said to him: Let not any man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine.	32 Davi disse-lhe: Ninguém desanime por causa desse filisteu! Teu servo irá combatê-lo.
33 And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth.	33 Combatê-lo, tu?!, exclamou o rei. Não é possível. Não passas de um menino e ele é um homem de guerra desde a sua mocidade.
34 And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock:	34 Davi respondeu a Saul: Quando o teu servo apascentava as ovelhas do seu pai e vinha um leão ou um urso roubar uma ovelha do rebanho,
35 And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.	35 eu o perseguia e o matava, tirando-lhe a ovelha da boca. E se ele se levantava contra mim, agarrava-o pela goela e estrangulava-o.
36 For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God?	36 Assim como o teu servo matou o leão e o urso, assim fará ele a esse filisteu incircunciso, que insultou os exércitos do Deus vivo.
37 And David said: The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with thee.	37 O Senhor, acrescentou, que me salvou das garras do leão e do urso, salvar-me-á também das mãos desse filisteu. Vai, disse Saul a Davi; e que o Senhor esteja contigo!
38 And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail.	38 O rei revestiu Davi com sua armadura, pôs-lhe na cabeça um capacete de bronze e armou-o de uma couraça.
39 And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off,	39 Davi cingiu a espada de Saul por cima de sua armadura e tentou andar com aquela equipagem inusitada. Mas disse a Saul: Não posso andar com isso, pois não estou habituado!
40 And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.	40 E, tirando a armadura, tomou seu cajado e escolheu no regato cinco pedras lisas, pondo-as no alforje de pastor que lhe servia de bolsa. Em seguida, com a sua funda na mão, avançou contra o filisteu.
41 And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.	41 De seu lado, o filisteu, precedido de seu escudeiro, aproximou-se de Davi,
42 And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.	42 mediu-o com os olhos, e, vendo que era jovem, louro e de delicado aspecto, desprezou-o.
43 And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.	43 Disse-lhe: Sou eu porventura um cão, para vires a mim com um cajado? E amaldiçoou-o em nome de seus deuses.
44 And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.	44 Vem, continuou ele, e eu darei a tua carne às aves do céu e aos animais da terra!
45 And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied.	45 Davi respondeu: Tu vens contra mim com espada, lança e escudo; eu, porém, vou contra ti em nome do Senhor dos exércitos, do Deus das fileiras de Israel, que tu insultaste.
46 This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.	46 Hoje o Senhor te entregará nas minhas mãos, e eu te matarei, cortar-te-ei a cabeça, e darei os cadáveres do exército dos filisteus às aves do céu e aos animais da terra. Toda a terra saberá que há um Deus em Israel;
47 And all this assembly shall know, that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands.	47 e toda essa multidão saberá que não é com a espada nem com a lança que o Senhor triunfa, pois a batalha é do Senhor, e ele vos entregou em nossas mãos!
48 And when the Philistine arose and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine.	48 Levantou-se o filisteu e marchou contra Davi. Davi também correu para a linha inimiga ao encontro do filisteu.
49 And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth.	49 Meteu a mão no alforje, tomou uma pedra e arremessou-a com a funda, ferindo o filisteu na fronte. A pedra penetrou-lhe na fronte, e o gigante caiu com o rosto por terra.
50 And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand,	50 Assim venceu Davi o filisteu, ferindo-o de morte com uma funda e uma pedra. E como não tinha espada na mão,
51 He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away.	51 correu ao filisteu, subiu-lhe em cima, arrancou-lhe a espada da bainha e acabou de matá-lo, cortando-lhe a cabeça. Vendo morto o seu campeão, os filisteus fugiram.
52 And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron.	52 Os homens de Israel e de Judá levantaram-se então, soltando gritos de guerra, e perseguiram os inimigos até a entrada de Get e até as portas de Acaron. Os cadáveres dos filisteus juncavam o caminho desde Saraim até Get e até Acaron.
53 And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp.	53 Voltando da perseguição, os israelitas saquearam o acampamento dos inimigos.
54 And David taking the head of the Philistine brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent.	54 Davi tomou a cabeça do filisteu e mandou levá-la para Jerusalém. Conservou, porém, em sua própria tenda a armadura de Golias.
55 Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not.	55 Quando Saul viu Davi partir ao encontro do filisteu, disse a Abner, seu general: De quem é filho esse jovem, Abner? Por tua vida, ó rei, respondeu Abner, não o sei.
56 And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this man is.	56 Disse-lhe o rei: Informa-te, pois, de quem é filho esse jovem.
57 And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.	57 E quando voltou Davi, depois de ter matado o filisteu, levou-o Abner à presença de Saul, tendo ainda na mão a cabeça de Golias.
58 And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou? And David said: I am the son of thy servant Isai the Bethlehemite.	58 Saul perguntou-lhe: Quem é o teu pai, ó jovem? Eu sou filho de Isaí de Belém, teu servo, respondeu Davi.
