¹Ora, faleceu Samuel; e todo o Israel se ajuntou e o pranteou; e o sepultaram na sua casa, em Ramá. E Davi se levantou e desceu ao deserto de Parã.

¹Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

²Havia um homem em Maom que tinha as suas possessões no Carmelo. Este homem era muito rico, pois tinha três mil ovelhas e mil Cabras e estava tosquiando as suas ovelhas no Carmelo.

²There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

³Chamava-se o homem Nabal, e sua mulher chamava-se Abigail; era a mulher sensata e formosa; o homem porém, era duro, e maligno nas suas ações; e era da casa de Calebe.

³Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful face: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

⁴Ouviu Davi no deserto que Nabal tosquiava as suas ovelhas,

⁴David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

⁵e enviou-lhe dez mancebos, dizendo-lhes: Subi ao Carmelo, ide a Nabal e perguntai-lhe, em meu nome, como está.

⁵David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

⁶Assim lhe direis: Paz seja contigo, e com a tua casa, e com tudo o que tens.

⁶You shall tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

⁷Agora, pois, tenho ouvido que tens tosquiadores. Ora, os pastores que tens acabam de estar conosco; agravo nenhum lhes fizemos, nem lhes desapareceu coisa alguma por todo o tempo que estiveram no Carmelo.

⁷Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t hurt them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.

⁸Pergunta-o aos teus mancebos, e eles to dirão. Que achem, portanto, os teus servos graça aos teus olhos, porque viemos em boa ocasião. Dá, pois, a teus servos e a Davi, teu filho, o que achares � mão.

⁸Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.’”

⁹Chegando, pois, os mancebos de Davi, falaram a Nabal todas aquelas palavras em nome de Davi, e se calaram.

⁹When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

¹⁰Ao que Nabal respondeu aos servos de Davi, e disse: Quem é Davi, e quem o filho de Jessé? Muitos servos há que hoje fogem ao seu senhor.

¹⁰Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

¹¹Tomaria eu, pois, o meu pão, e a minha água, e a carne das minhas reses que degolei para os meus tosquiadores, e os daria a homens que não sei donde vêm?

¹¹Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

¹²Então os mancebos de Davi se puseram a caminho e, voltando, vieram anunciar-lhe todas estas palavras.

¹²So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

¹³Pelo que disse Davi aos seus homens: Cada um cinja a sua espada. E cada um cingiu a sua espada, e Davi também cingiu a sua, e subiram após Davi cerca de quatrocentos homens, e duzentos ficaram com a bagagem.

¹³David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David; and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

¹⁴um dentre os mancebos, porém, o anunciou a Abigail, mulher de Nabal, dizendo: Eis que Davi enviou mensageiros desde o deserto a saudar o nosso amo; e ele os destratou.

¹⁴But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he railed at them.

¹⁵Todavia, aqueles homens têm-nos sido muito bons, e nunca fomos agravados deles, e nada nos desapareceu por todo o tempo em que convivemos com eles quando estávamos no campo.

¹⁵But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.

¹⁶De muro em redor nos serviram, assim de dia como de noite, todos os dias que andamos com eles apascentando as ovelhas.

¹⁶They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

¹⁷Considera, pois, agora e vê o que hás de fazer, porque o mal já está de todo determinado contra o nosso amo e contra toda a sua casa; e ele é tal filho de Belial, que não há quem lhe possa falar.

¹⁷Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”

¹⁸Então Abigail se apressou, e tomou duzentos pães, dois odres de vinho, cinco ovelhas assadas, cinco medidas de trigo tostado, cem cachos de passas, e duzentas pastas de figos secos, e os pôs sobre jumentos.

¹⁸Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

¹⁹E disse aos seus mancebos: Ide adiante de mim; eis que vos seguirei de perto. Porém não o declarou a Nabal, seu marido.

¹⁹She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I come after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.

²⁰E quando ela, montada num jumento, ia descendo pelo encoberto do monte, eis que Davi e os seus homens lhe vinham ao encontro; e ela se encontrou com eles.

²⁰It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

²¹Ora, Davi tinha dito: Na verdade que em vão tenho guardado tudo quanto este tem no deserto, de sorte que nada lhe faltou de tudo quanto lhe pertencia; e ele me pagou mal por bem.

²¹Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.

²²Assim faça Deus a Davi, e outro tanto, se eu deixar até o amanhecer, de tudo o que pertence a Nabal, um só varão.

²²God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall. or, male. ”

²³Vendo, pois, Abigail a Davi, apressou-se, desceu do jumento e prostrou-se sobre o seu rosto diante de Davi, inclinando-se � terra,

²³When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

²⁴e, prostrada a seus pés, lhe disse: Ah, senhor meu, minha seja a iniqüidade! Deixa a tua serva falar aos teus ouvidos, e ouve as palavras da tua serva.

²⁴She fell at his feet, and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ears. Hear the words of your handmaid.

²⁵Rogo-te, meu senhor, que não faças caso deste homem de Belial, a saber, Nabal; porque tal é ele qual é o seu nome. Nabal é o seu nome, e a loucura está com ele; mas eu, tua serva, não vi os mancebos de meu senhor, que enviaste.

²⁵Please don’t let my lord regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your handmaid, didn’t see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

²⁶Agora, pois, meu senhor, vive o Senhor, e vive a tua alma, porquanto o Senhor te impediu de derramares sangue, e de te vingares com a tua própria mão, sejam agora como Nabal os teus inimigos e os que procuram fazer o mal contra o meu senhor.

²⁶Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

²⁷Aceita agora este presente que a tua serva trouxe a meu senhor; seja ele dado aos mancebos que seguem ao meu senhor.

²⁷Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

²⁸Perdoa, pois, a transgressão da tua serva; porque certamente fará o Senhor casa firme a meu senhor, pois meu senhor guerreia as guerras do Senhor; e não se achará mal em ti por todos os teus dias.

²⁸Please forgive the trespass of your handmaid. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Yahweh; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.

²⁹Se alguém se levantar para te perseguir, e para buscar a tua vida, então a vida de meu senhor será atada no feixe dos que vivem com o Senhor teu Deus; porém a vida de teus inimigos ele arrojará ao longe, como do côncavo de uma funda.

²⁹Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

³⁰Quando o Senhor tiver feito para com o meu senhor conforme todo o bem que já tem dito de ti, e te houver estabelecido por príncipe sobre Israel,

³⁰It shall come to pass, when Yahweh has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,

³¹então, meu senhor, não terás no coração esta tristeza nem este remorso de teres derramado sangue sem causa, ou de haver-se vingado o meu senhor a si mesmo. E quando o Senhor fizer bem a meu senhor, lembra-te então da tua serva.

³¹that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.”

³²Ao que Davi disse a Abigail: Bendito seja o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje te enviou ao meu encontro!

³²David said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

³³E bendito seja o teu conselho, e bendita sejas tu, que hoje me impediste de derramar sangue, e de vingar-me pela minha própria mão!

³³Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

³⁴Pois, na verdade, vive o Senhor Deus de Israel que me impediu de te fazer mal, que se tu não te apressaras e não me vieras ao encontro, não teria ficado a Nabal até a luz da manhã nem mesmo um menino.

³⁴For indeed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall. or, male. ”

³⁵Então Davi aceitou da mão dela o que lhe tinha trazido, e lhe disse: Sobe em paz � tua casa; vê que dei ouvidos � tua voz, e aceitei a tua face.

³⁵So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request.”

³⁶Ora, quando Abigail voltou para Nabal, eis que ele fazia em sua casa um banquete, como banquete de rei; e o coração de Nabal estava alegre, pois ele estava muito embriagado; pelo que ela não lhe deu a entender nada daquilo, nem pouco nem muito, até a luz da manhã.

³⁶Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

³⁷Sucedeu, pois, que, pela manhã, estando Nabal já livre do vinho, sua mulher lhe contou essas coisas; de modo que o seu coração desfaleceu, e ele ficou como uma pedra.

³⁷It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

³⁸Passados uns dez dias, o Senhor feriu a Nabal, e ele morreu.

³⁸It happened about ten days after, that Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died.

³⁹Quando Davi ouviu que Nabal morrera, disse: Bendito seja o Senhor, que me vingou da afronta que recebi de Nabal, e deteve do mal a seu servo, fazendo cair a maldade de Nabal sobre a sua cabeça. Depois mandou Davi falar a Abigail, para tomá-la por mulher.

³⁹When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.

⁴⁰Vindo, pois, os servos de Davi a Abigail, no Carmelo, lhe falaram, dizendo: Davi nos mandou a ti, para te tomarmos por sua mulher.

⁴⁰When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”

⁴¹Ao que ela se levantou, e se inclinou com o rosto em terra, e disse: Eis que a tua serva servirá de criada para lavar os pés dos servos de meu senhor.

⁴¹She arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

⁴²Então Abigail se apressou e, levantando-se, montou num jumento, e levando as cinco moças que lhe assistiam, seguiu os mensageiros de Davi, que a recebeu por mulher.

⁴²Abigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five ladies of hers who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

⁴³Davi tomou também a Ainoã de Jizreel; e ambas foram suas mulheres.

⁴³David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.

⁴⁴Pois Saul tinha dado sua filha Mical, mulher de Davi, a Palti, filho de Laís, o qual era de Galim.

⁴⁴Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
