1 A nd the Philistines assembled their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.

Ora, os filisteus ajuntaram as suas forças para a guerra e congregaram-se em Socó, que pertence a Judá, e acamparam entre Socó e Azeca, em Efes-Damim.

2 A nd Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of terebinths, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.

Saul, porém, e os homens de Israel se ajuntaram e acamparam no vale de Elá, e ordenaram a batalha contra os filisteus.

3 A nd the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and the ravine was between them.

Os filisteus estavam num monte de um lado, e os israelitas estavam num monte do outro lado; e entre eles o vale.

4 A nd there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

Então saiu do arraial dos filisteus um campeão, cujo nome era Golias, de Gate, que tinha de altura seis côvados e um palmo.

5 A nd he had a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze.

Trazia na cabeça um capacete de bronze, e vestia uma couraça escameada, cujo peso era de cinco mil siclos de bronze.

6 A nd he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.

Também trazia grevas de bronze nas pernas, e um dardo de bronze entre os ombros.

7 A nd the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the shield-bearer went before him.

A haste da sua lança era como o órgão de um tear, e a ponta da sua lança pesava seiscentos siclos de ferro; adiante dele ia o seu escudeiro.

8 A nd he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.

Ele, pois, de pé, clamava

9 I f he be able to fight with me, and to smite me, then will we be your servants; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us.

Se ele puder pelejar comigo e matar-me, seremos vossos servos; porem, se eu prevalecer contra ele e o matar, então sereis nossos servos, e nos servireis.

10 A nd the Philistine said, I have defied the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

Disse mais o filisteu: Desafio hoje as fileiras de Israel; dai-me um homem, para que nós dois pelejemos.

11 A nd Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

Ouvindo, então, Saul e todo o Israel estas palavras do filisteu, desalentaram-se, e temeram muito.

12 N ow David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced among men.

Ora, Davi era filho de um homem efrateu, de Belém de Judá, cujo nome era Jessé, que tinha oito filhos; e nos dias de Saul este homem era já velho e avançado em idade entre os homens.

13 A nd the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

Os três filhos mais velhos de Jessé tinham seguido a Saul ã guerra; eram os nomes de seus três filhos que foram ã guerra: Eliabe, o primogênito, o segundo Abinadabe, e o terceiro Samá:

14 A nd David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul.

Davi era o mais moço; os três maiores seguiram a Saul,

15 B ut David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

mas Davi ia e voltava de Saul, para apascentar as ovelhas de seu pai em Belem.

16 A nd the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.

Chegava-se, pois, o filisteu pela manhã e ã tarde; e apresentou-se por quarenta dias.

17 A nd Jesse said to David his son, Take, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephah of parched and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren;

Disse então Jessé a Davi, seu filho: Toma agora para teus irmãos uma refa deste grão tostado e estes dez pães, e corre a levá-los ao arraial, a teus irmãos.

18 a nd carry these ten cheeses to the captain of the thousand, and visit thy brethren to see how they are, and take a pledge of them.

Leva, também, estes dez queijos ao seu comandante de mil; e verás como passam teus irmãos, e trarás notícias deles.

19 N ow Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel in the valley of terebinths, fighting against the Philistines.

Ora, estavam Saul, e eles, e todos os homens de Israel no vale de Elá, pelejando contra os filisteus.

20 A nd David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took his charge and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the wagon-defence; and the host which was going forth to the battle-array shouted for the fight.

Davi então se levantou de madrugada e, deixando as ovelhas com um guarda, carregou-se e partiu, como Jessé lhe ordenara; e chegou ao arraial quando o exército estava saindo em ordem de batalha e dava gritos de guerra.

21 A nd Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, rank against rank.

Os israelitas e os filisteus se punham em ordem de batalha, fileira contra fileira.

22 A nd David left the things he was carrying in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the ranks, and came and saluted his brethren.

E Davi, deixando na mão do guarda da bagagem a carga que trouxera, correu

23 A nd as he talked with them, behold there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard.

Enquanto ainda falava com eles, eis que veio subindo do exército dos filisteus o campeão, cujo nome era Golias, o filisteu de Gate, e falou conforme aquelas palavras; e Davi as ouviu.

24 A nd all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were greatly afraid.

E todos os homens de Israel, vendo aquele homem, fugiam, de diante dele, tomados de pavor.

25 A nd the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who smites him, him will the king enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.

Diziam os homens de Israel: Vistes aquele homem que subiu? pois subiu para desafiar a Israel. Ao homem, pos, que o matar, o rei cumulará de grandes riquezas, e lhe dará a sua filha, e fará livre a casa de seu pai em Israel.

26 A nd David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that smites this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

Então falou Davi aos homens que se achavam perto dele, dizendo: Que se fará ao homem que matar a esse filisteu, e tirar a afronta de sobre Israel? pois quem é esse incircunciso filisteu, para afrontar os exércitos do Deus vivo?

27 A nd the people told him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that smites him.

E o povo lhe repetiu aquela palavra, dizendo: Assim se fará ao homem que o matar.

28 A nd Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.

Eliabe, seu irmão mais velho, ouviu-o quando falava

29 A nd David said, What have I now done? Was it not laid upon me?

Respondeu Davi: Que fiz eu agora? porventura não há razão para isso?

30 A nd he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner.

E virou-se dele para outro, e repetiu as suas perguntas; e o povo lhe respondeu como da primeira vez.

31 A nd the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.

Então, ouvidas as palavras que Davi falara, foram elas referidas a Saul, que mandou chamá-lo.

32 A nd David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

E Davi disse a Saul: Não desfaleça o coração de ninguém por causa dele; teu servo irá, e pelejará contra este filisteu.

33 A nd Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

Saul, porém, disse a Davi: Não poderás ir contra esse filisteu para pelejar com ele, pois tu ainda és moço, e ele homem de guerra desde a sua mocidade.

34 A nd David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock.

Então disse Davi a Saul: Teu servo apascentava as ovelhas de seu pai, e sempre que vinha um leão, ou um urso, e tomava um cordeiro do rebanho,

35 A nd I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

eu saía após ele, e o matava, e lho arrancava da boca; levantando-se ele contra mim, segurava-o pela queixada, e o feria e matava.

36 T hy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.

O teu servo matava tanto ao leão como ao urso; e este incircunciso filisteu será como um deles, porquanto afrontou os exércitos do Deus vivo.

37 A nd David said, Jehovah 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 Jehovah be with thee.

Disse mais Davi: O Senhor, que me livrou das garras do leão, e das garras do urso, me livrará da mão deste filisteu. Então disse Saul a Davi: Vai, e o Senhor seja contigo.

38 A nd Saul clothed David with his dress, and put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and clothed him with a corselet.

E vestiu a Davi da sua própria armadura, pôs-lhe sobre a cabeça um capacete de bronze, e o vestiu de uma couraça.

39 A nd David girded his sword upon his dress, and endeavoured to go; for he had not yet tried. And David said to Saul, I cannot go in these; for I have never tried. And David put them off him.

Davi cingiu a espada sobre a armadura e procurou em vão andar, pois não estava acostumado

40 A nd he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

Então tomou na mão o seu cajado, escolheu do ribeiro cinco seixos lisos e pô-los no alforje de pastor que trazia, a saber, no surrão, e, tomando na mão a sua funda, foi-se chegando ao filisteu.

41 A nd the Philistine came on and approached David; and the man that bore the shield was before him.

O filisteu também vinha se aproximando de Davi, tendo a: sua frente o seu escudeiro.

42 A nd when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was a youth, and ruddy, and besides of a beautiful countenance.

Quando o filisteu olhou e viu a Davi, desprezou-o, porquanto era mancebo, ruivo, e de gentil aspecto.

43 A nd the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

Disse o filisteu a Davi: Sou eu algum cão, para tu vires a mim com paus? E o filisteu, pelos seus deuses, amaldiçoou a Davi.

44 A nd the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the heavens and to the beasts of the field.

Disse mais o filisteu a Davi: Vem a mim, e eu darei a tua carne

45 A nd David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin; but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

Davi, porém, lhe respondeu: Tu vens a mim com espada, com lança e com escudo; mas eu venho a ti em nome do Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus dos exércitos de Israel, a quem tens afrontado.

46 T his day will Jehovah deliver thee up into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth. And all the earth shall know that Israel has a God;

Hoje mesmo o Senhor te entregará na minha mão; ferir-te-ei, e tirar-te-ei a cabeça; os cadáveres do arraial dos filisteus darei hoje mesmo

47 a nd all this congregation shall know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hands.

e para que toda esta assembléia saiba que o Senhor salva, não com espada, nem com lança; pois do Senhor é a batalha, e ele vos entregará em nossas mãos.

48 A nd it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and advanced to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the ranks to meet the Philistine.

Quando o filisteu se levantou e veio chegando para se defrontar com Davi, este se apressou e correu ao combate, a encontrar-se com o filisteu.

49 A nd David put his hand into the bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.

E Davi, metendo a mão no alforje, tirou dali uma pedra e com a funda lha atirou, ferindo o filisteu na testa; a pedra se lhe cravou na testa, e ele caiu com o rosto em terra.

50 S o David overcame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him; and there was no sword in the hand of David.

Assim Davi prevaleceu contra o filisteu com uma funda e com uma pedra; feriu-o e o matou; e não havia espada na mão de Davi.

51 A nd David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him completely, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.

Correu, pois, Davi, pôs-se em pé sobre o filisteu e, tomando a espada dele e tirando-a da bainha, o matou, decepando-lhe com ela a cabeça. Vendo então os filisteus que o seu campeão estava morto, fugiram.

52 A nd the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down on the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.

Então os homens de Israel e de Judá se levantaram gritando, e perseguiram os filisteus até a entrada de Gai e até as portas de Ecrom; e caíram os feridos dos filisteus pelo caminho de Saraim até Gate e até Ecrom.

53 A nd the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they pillaged their camps.

Depois voltaram os filhos de Israel de perseguirem os filisteus, e despojaram os seus arraiais.

54 A nd David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

Davi tomou a cabeça do filisteu e a trouxe a Jerusalém; porém pôs as armas dele na sua tenda.

55 A nd when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

Quando Saul viu Davi sair e encontrar-se com o filisteu, perguntou a Abner, o chefe do exército: De quem é filho esse jovem, Abner? Respondeu Abner: Vive a tua alma, ó rei, que não sei.

56 A nd the king said, Inquire thou whose son this youth is.

Disse então o rei: Pergunta, pois, de quem ele é filho.

57 A nd as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

Voltando, pois, Davi de ferir o filisteu, Abner o tomou consigo, e o trouxe ã presença de Saul, trazendo Davi na mão a cabeça do filisteu.

58 A nd Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? And David said, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.

E perguntou-lhe Saul: De quem és filho, jovem? Respondeu Davi: Filho de teu servo Jessé, belemita.
