New International Version NIV
1 Davi, contudo, pensou: “Algum dia serei morto por Saul. É melhor fugir para a terra dos filisteus. Então Saul desistirá de procurar-me por todo o Israel, e escaparei dele”.
1
But David thought to himself, “One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
2 Assim, Davi e os seiscentos homens que estavam com ele foram até Aquis, filho de Maoque, rei de Gate.
2
So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maok king of Gath.
3 Davi e seus soldados se estabeleceram em Gate, acolhidos por Aquis. Cada homem levou sua família, e Davi, suas duas mulheres: Ainoã, de Jezreel, e Abigail, que fora mulher de Nabal, de Carmelo.
3
David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
4 Quando contaram a Saul que Davi havia fugido para Gate, ele parou de persegui-lo.
4
When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
5 Então Davi disse a Aquis: “Se eu conto com a tua simpatia, dá-me um lugar numa das cidades desta terra onde eu possa viver. Por que este teu servo viveria contigo na cidade real?”
5
Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
6 Naquele dia Aquis deu-lhe Ziclague. Por isso, Ziclague pertence aos reis de Judá até hoje.
6
So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.
7 Davi morou em território filisteu durante um ano e quatro meses.
7
David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months.
8 Ele e seus soldados atacavam os gesuritas, os gersitas e os amalequitas, povos que, desde tempos antigos, habitavam a terra que se estende desde Sur até o Egito.
8
Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)
9 Quando Davi atacava a região, não poupava homens nem mulheres e tomava ovelhas, bois, jumentos, camelos e roupas. Depois retornava a Aquis.
9
Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.
10 Quando Aquis perguntava: “Quem você atacou hoje?” Davi respondia: “O Neguebe de Judá” ou “O Neguebe de Jerameel” ou “O Neguebe dos queneus”.
10
When Achish asked, “Where did you go raiding today?” David would say, “Against the Negev of Judah” or “Against the Negev of Jerahmeel” or “Against the Negev of the Kenites.”
11 Ele matava todos, homens e mulheres, para que não fossem levados a Gate, pois pensava: “Eles poderão denunciar-me”. Este foi o seu procedimento enquanto viveu em território filisteu.
11
He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, “They might inform on us and say, ‘This is what David did.’ ” And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory.
12 Aquis confiava em Davi e dizia: “Ele se tornou tão odiado por seu povo, os israelitas, que será meu servo para sempre”.
12
Achish trusted David and said to himself, “He has become so obnoxious to his people, the Israelites, that he will be my servant for life.”
