1 Samuel 29

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now the Philistines had mustered all their forces in Aphek, and the Israelites were encamped at the spring of Harod near Jezreel.	1 Reuniram os filisteus todas as suas forças em Afec, estando os israelitas acampados junto à fonte de Jezrael.
2 As the Philistine lords were marching their groups of a hundred and a thousand, David and his men were marching in the rear guard with Achish.	2 Os príncipes dos filisteus iam à frente com suas tropas, divididas em companhias de cem e de mil homens. Davi e sua gente caminhavam na retaguarda com Aquis.
3 The Philistine chiefs asked, "What are those Hebrews doing here?" And Achish answered them: "Why, that is David, the officer of Saul, king of Israel. He has been with me now for a year or two, and I have no fault to find with him from the day he came over to me until the present."	3 Os chefes dos filisteus disseram: Quem são esses hebreus? É Davi, respondeu Aquis, servo de Saul, rei de Israel, que está em minha companhia há muitos dias, e mesmo há muitos anos. Nada tenho a censurar-lhe desde o dia em que se refugiou junto de mim até hoje.
4 But the Philistine chiefs were angered at this and said to him: "Send that man back! Let him return to the place you picked out for him. He must not go down into battle with us, lest during the battle he become our enemy. For how else can he win back his master's favor, if not with the heads of these men of ours?	4 Furiosos, os chefes dos filisteus disseram-lhe: Vá-se embora esse homem; manda que ele volte ao lugar que lhe marcaste, mas que não desça conosco à batalha; não suceda que se volte contra nós no meio do combate. Pois como poderia ele ganhar melhor as graças de seu amo, do que ao preço das cabeças de nossos homens?
5 Is this not the David of whom they sing during their dances, 'Saul has slain his thousands, but David his ten thousands'?"	5 Não é ele porventura aquele Davi, do qual se cantava dançando: Saul matou seus milhares, e Davi seus dez milhares?
6 So Achish summoned David and said to him: "As the LORD lives, you are honest, and I should be pleased to have you active with me in the camp, for I have found nothing wrong with you from the day of your arrival to this day. But you are not welcome to the lords.	6 Aquis chamou Davi e disse-lhe: Viva Deus! Tu és um homem reto e teu proceder comigo no acampamento me parece justo. Até hoje nada tive a censurar-te desde que chegaste à minha casa. Mas não és bem visto pelos príncipes.
7 Withdraw peaceably, now, and do nothing that might displease the Philistine lords."	7 Retira-te, pois, e vai em paz, para não descontentar os príncipes dos filisteus.
8 But David said to Achish: "What have I done? Or what have you against your servant from the first day I have been with you to this day, that I cannot go to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"	8 Davi disse a Aquis: Mas, que fiz eu? Que achaste de censurável no teu servo, desde o dia em que cheguei à tua casa até hoje, para que eu não vá combater contra os inimigos do rei, meu senhor?
9 "You know," Achish answered David, "that you are acceptable to me. But the Philistine chiefs have determined you are not to go up with us to battle.	9 Eu o sei, respondeu Aquis; tens sido bom para comigo, como um anjo do Senhor. Mas os chefes dos filisteus é que não querem que vás com eles ao combate.
10 So the first thing tomorrow, you and your lord's servants who came with you, go to the place I picked out for you. Do not decide to take umbrage at this; you are as acceptable to me as an angel of God. But make an early morning start, as soon as it grows light, and be on your way."	10 Amanhã cedo, portanto, parti, tu e os servos de teu senhor que te seguiram. Ide, parti bem cedo, ao clarear do dia.
11 So David and his men left early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. The Philistines, however, went on up to Jezreel.	11 Davi e os seus homens levantaram-se de madrugada e voltaram à terra dos filisteus. Estes, porém, subiram a Jezrael.
