1 ¶ Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongs to Judah, and pitched camp between Shochoh 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 pitched camp by the valley of Elah and ordered the battle 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 a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side; and there was a valley 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 a man named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span, came out of the camp of the Philistines and stood between the two camps.

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 brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail of scales; and the weight of the coat of mail was five thousand shekels of brass.

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 brass upon his legs and a shield of brass between his shoulders.

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

7 A nd the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron, and one bearing a shield 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 unto the armies of Israel and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and ye slaves to Saul? Choose a man from among you, and let him come down to me.

Ele, pois, de pé, clamava

9 I f he is able to fight with me and to overcome me, then will we be your slaves, but if I prevail against him and overcome him, then ye shall be our slaves 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 dishonoured the ranks of Israel today; 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 W hen Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

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

12 ¶ And David was the son of an Ephrathite man of Bethlehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons, and this man was old in the days of Saul and of advanced age 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 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 next unto 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, the three eldest having gone after Saul.

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

15 B ut David had gone and returned from being with Saul to feed his father’s sheep in 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 for forty days.

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

17 A nd Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves and run 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 unto the captain of their thousand and look how thy brethren fare and take their pledge.

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 were in the valley of Elah, 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 and went with his burden as Jesse had commanded him, and he came to the trench as the host was going forth in battle array, and they had already sounded the alarm for the battle.

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 F or Israel and the Philistines had ordered the battle, army against army.

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

22 A nd David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage and ran into the army and came and asked about his brethren, if they were well.

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 that man, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, speaking the same words, and David heard them.

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 feared greatly.

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

25 A nd each one of the men of Israel were saying, Have ye seen this man that is come up? He is come up to dishonour Israel. It shall be that the king will enrich the man who overcomes him 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 T hen David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that overcomes this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should dishonour 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 answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that overcomes 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 when he spoke unto the men, and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why didst thou come down here? And with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the malice of thy heart, for thou art come down that thou might see the battle.

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

29 A nd David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?

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

30 A nd he turned from him toward 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 ¶ And the words which David had spoken were heard, and they were rehearsed 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 slave 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 young man, 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 replied unto Saul, Thy slave was the pastor of his father’s sheep, and if a lion or a bear came 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 I went out after him and smote him and delivered it out of his mouth; and if he arose against me, I caught 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 W hether it was a lion or a bear thy slave would kill it, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has dishonoured 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 D avid said moreover, The LORD that 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 unto David, Go, and the LORD 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 clothing, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head; he also armed him with a coat of mail.

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 Saul’s sword upon Saul’s clothing, and he undertook to go, for he had not proved them. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these, for I have not proved them. And putting them off, David

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

40 ¶ took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a provision bag, and with his sling in his hand 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 drew near unto David, and the man that bore the shield went 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 but a youth and ruddy and of a fair 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 unto 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 unto the fowls of the heaven and to the beasts of the field.

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

45 T hen 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 the hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast dishonoured.

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 the LORD will deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee and take thy head from thee, and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the heaven and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

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 the LORD does not save with sword and spear, for the battle is the LORD’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 ¶ And it came to pass when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David that David hastened and ran to do battle against 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 in his bag and took a stone from there and slang it and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone remained sunk into his forehead, and he fell upon 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 with a stone and smote the Philistine and slew him, but 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 T herefore David ran and stood upon the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and slew him and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw their giant 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 unto the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath and unto 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 sons of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.

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 weapons 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 unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul lives, 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, Enquire whose son the young man 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 answered, I am the son of thy slave Jesse of Bethlehem.

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