CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINSAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Then David went away from there, and he fled to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all of his father’s house had heard of it, they descended to him there.1 Davi partiu dali e refugiou-se na caverna de Odolão. Seus irmãos e toda a sua família, ouvindo isso, foram juntar-se a ele.
2 And all those left in distress, or oppressed by debt to strangers, or bitter in soul, gathered themselves to him. And he became their leader, and about four hundred men were with him.2 Todos os que se viam em miséria, os endividados, os descontentes, foram ter com Davi, e ele tornou-se o seu chefe. E estiveram com ele cerca de quatrocentos homens.
3 And David set out from there to Mizpah, which is of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, “I beg you, let my father and my mother remain with you, until I know what God will do for me.”3 Dali foi Davi para Masfa, em Moab, e disse ao rei de Moab: Permiti que meu pai e minha mãe venham habitar no meio de vós, até que eu saiba o que o Senhor me reserva.
4 And he left them before the face of the king of Moab. And they stayed with him for all the days that David was in the stronghold.4 Apresentou-os, pois, ao rei de Moab, e ficaram com ele durante todo o tempo em que Davi permaneceu no fortim.
5 And the prophet Gad said to David: “Do not choose to stay in the stronghold. Set out and go into the land of Judah.” And so, David set out, and he went into the forest of Hereth.5 Mas o profeta Gad disse a Davi: Não fiques no fortim. Parte, volta à terra de Judá. Davi partiu e internou-se na floresta de Haret.
6 And Saul heard that David, and the men who were with him, had been seen. Now while Saul was staying in Gibeah, and while he was in the forest that is in Ramah, holding a spear in his hand, with all his servants standing around him,6 Saul foi informado de que haviam descoberto Davi e os seus. Estava o rei em Gabaa, sentado debaixo de uma tamareira, na colina, com a sua lança na mão, tendo todos os seus familiares em redor de si.
7 he said to his servants who were assisting him: “Listen now, you sons of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give to all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make all of you tribunes or centurions,7 Saul disse-lhes: Escutai, benjaminitas: será que o filho de Isaí dará a todos vós campos e vinhas? Irá ele fazer de todos vós chefes de milhares e chefes de centenas?
8 so that you would all conspire against me, and so that there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son has formed a pact with the son of Jesse? There is no one among you who grieves for my situation, or who would report to me. For my son has raised up my servant against me, seeking to betray me, even to this day.”8 Por que vos conjurastes contra mim? Ninguém de vós me informou que meu filho tinha feito aliança com o filho de Isaí, e ninguém se deu o trabalho de avisar-me que meu filho instigava meu servo contra mim, para armar-me ciladas, como ele o faz hoje!
9 Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was standing near, and who was first among the servants of Saul, responding, said: “I saw the son of Jesse, in Nob, with Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, the priest.9 Doeg, o edomita, que era o primeiro entre os domésticos de Saul, respondeu: Eu vi o filho de Isaí chegar a Nobe, à casa de Aquimelec, filho de Aquitob.
10 And he consulted the Lord for him, and he gave him food. Moreover, he gave him the sword of Goliath, the Philistine.”10 Este consultou o Senhor por ele e deu-lhe provisões, entregando-lhe também a espada do filisteu Golias.
11 Then the king sent to summon Ahimelech, the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all of his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob, and they all came before the king.11 O rei mandou chamar o sacerdote Aquimelec, filho de Aquitob, com toda a casa de seu pai, os sacerdotes que estavam em Nobe. Chegando eles à presença do rei,
12 And Saul said to Ahimelech, “Listen, son of Ahitub.” He responded, “Here I am, lord.”12 Saul disse-lhes: Escuta, filho de Aquitob! Eis-me aqui, meu senhor, respondeu ele.
13 And Saul said to him: “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse? For you gave him bread and a sword, and you consulted the Lord for him, so that he might rise up against me, continuing as a traitor even to this day.”13 Por que, retomou Saul, conspiraste contra mim, tu e o filho de Isaí? Deste-lhe pão e uma espada, e consultaste Deus por ele, a fim de que ele se revolte contra mim e me arme ciladas como hoje acontece.
14 And responding to the king, Ahimelech said: “But who among all your servants is as faithful as David? And he is the son-in-law of the king, and he goes forth at your order, and he is a glory within your house.14 Aquimelec respondeu ao rei: Haverá entre todos os teus servos alguém mais fiel que Davi, genro do rei, teu conselheiro, um homem estimado por toda a tua casa?
15 Did I begin to consult the Lord for him today? May this be far from me! Let not the king suspect this kind of thing against his servant, nor against anyone in all my father’s house. For your servant did not know anything about this matter, either small or great.”15 Foi porventura hoje que comecei a consultar Deus por ele? Longe de mim {qualquer idéia de revolta}! Não impute o rei crime algum ao seu servo, nem à sua família! Teu servo nada soube de tudo isto, nem pouco nem muito.
16 And the king said, “You shall die a death, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”16 O rei disse: Tu morrerás, Aquimelec, tu e toda a tua família!
17 And the king said to the emissaries who were standing around him: “You shall turn, and put to death the priests of the Lord. For their hand is with David. They knew that he had fled, and they did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king were not willing to extend their hands against the priests of the Lord.17 E, dirigindo-se aos guardas que o cercavam: Ide, disse ele; matai os sacerdotes do Senhor, pois fizeram-se cúmplices de Davi: sabiam de sua fuga e não me preveniram. Mas os guardas do rei se recusaram a levantar a mão contra os sacerdotes do Senhor.
18 And the king said to Doeg, “You shall turn and rush against the priests.” And Doeg, the Edomite, turned and rushed against the priests. And he massacred, on that day, eighty-five men, vested with the linen ephod.18 Então o rei ordenou a Doeg: Vamos, fere-os. E Doeg, o edomita, aproximou-se e foi ele quem matou os sacerdotes. Massacrou naquele dia oitenta e cinco homens que vestiam o efod de linho.
19 Then he struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword; he struck down men and women, little ones and infants, as well as ox and donkey and sheep, with the edge of the sword.19 Ordenou também Saul que fosse passada ao fio da espada a cidade sacerdotal de Nobe: homens, mulheres, meninos, crianças de peito, bois, jumentos e ovelhas.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaping, fled to David.20 Só escapou um filho de Aquimelec, filho de Aquitob, chamado Abiatar, que se refugiou junto de Davi.
21 And he reported to him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.21 Abiatar anunciou-lhe que Saul tinha massacrado os sacerdotes do Senhor.
22 And David said to Abiathar: “I knew, on that day when Doeg, the Edomite was there, that without doubt he would report it to Saul. I am guilty of all the souls of your father’s house.22 Davi disse-lhe: Eu bem suspeitava naquele dia que, estando ali Doeg, o edomita, ele iria contar tudo a Saul. Sou eu o culpado da morte de toda a casa de teu pai.
23 You should remain with me. Do not be afraid. For he who seeks my life, seeks your life also, but with me you shall be saved.”23 Fica comigo; não temas. Aquele que odeia a minha vida, odeia igualmente a tua. Junto de mim estarás seguro.
