Kings II 12
1 And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
E o Senhor enviou Nathan a David: e, entrando elle a David, disse-lhe: Havia n'uma cidade dois homens, um rico e outro pobre.
2 And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.
O rico tinha muitissimas ovelhas e vaccas;
3 But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
Mas o pobre não tinha coisa nenhuma, senão uma pequena cordeira que comprara e creara; e ella tinha crescido com elle e com seus filhos egualmente; do seu bocado comia, e do seu copo bebia, e dormia em seu regaço, e a tinha como filha.
4 And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
E, vindo ao homem rico um viajante, deixou este de tomar das suas ovelhas e das suas vaccas para guizar para o viajante que viera a elle: e tomou a cordeira do homem pobre, e a preparou para o homem que viera a elle.
5 And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
Então o furor de David se accendeu em grande maneira contra aquelle homem, e disse a Nathan: Vive o Senhor, que digno de morte é o homem que fez isso.
6 And he shall restore the lamb sevenfold, because he has not spared.
E pela cordeira tornará a dar o quadruplicado, porque fez tal coisa, e porque não se compadeceu.
7 And Nathan said to David, You are the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out the hand of Saul;
Então disse Nathan a David: Tu és este homem. Assim diz o Senhor Deus d'Israel: Eu te ungi rei sobre Israel, e eu te livrei das mãos de Saul,
8 and I gave you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given you yet more.
E te dei a casa de teu senhor, e as mulheres de teu senhor em teu seio, e tambem te dei a casa d'Israel e de Judah, e, se isto é pouco, mais te accrescentaria taes e taes coisas.
9 Why have you set at nothing the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? you have slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and you have taken his wife to be your wife, and you have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
Porque, pois, desprezaste a palavra do Senhor, fazendo o mal diante de seus olhos? A Urias, o hetheo, feriste á espada, e a sua mulher tomaste por tua mulher; e a elle mataste com a espada dos filhos d'Ammon:
10 Now therefore the sword shall not depart from your house for ever, because you has set me at nothing, and you have taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be your wife.
Agora, pois, não se apartará a espada jámais da tua casa, porquanto me desprezaste, e tomaste a mulher de Urias, o hetheo, para que te seja por mulher.
11 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against you evil out of your house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and will give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que suscitarei da tua mesma casa o mal sobre ti, e tomarei tuas mulheres perante os teus olhos, e as darei a teu proximo, o qual se deitará com tuas mulheres perante este sol.
12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
Porque tu o fizeste em occulto, mas eu farei este negocio perante todo o Israel e perante o sol.
13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.
Então disse David a Nathan: Pequei contra o Senhor. E disse Nathan a David: Tambem o Senhor traspassou o teu peccado; não morrerás.
14 Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you shall surely die.
Todavia, porquanto com este feito déste logar sobremaneira a que os inimigos do Senhor blasphemem, tambem o filho que te nasceu certamente morrerá.
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord struck the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
Então Nathan se foi para sua casa; e o Senhor feriu a creança que a mulher de Urias parira a David, e adoeceu gravemente.
16 And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
E buscou David a Deus pela creança; e jejuou David, e entrou, e passou a noite prostrado sobre a terra:
17 And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.
Então os anciãos da sua casa se levantaram a elle, para o levantar da terra; porém elle não quiz, e não comeu pão com elles
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he listened not to our voice; and you should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
E succedeu que ao setimo dia morreu a creança: e temiam os servos de David dizer-lhe que a creança era morta, porque diziam: Eis que, sendo a creança ainda viva, lhe fallavamos, porém não dava ouvidos á nossa voz; como pois lhe diremos que a creança é morta? Porque mais mal lhe faria.
19 And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
Viu porém David que seus servos fallavam baixo, e entendeu David que a creança era morta, pelo que disse David a seus servos: É morta a creança? E elles disseram: É morta.
20 Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
Então David se levantou da terra, e se lavou, e se ungiu, e mudou de vestidos, e entrou na casa do Senhor, e adorou: então veiu a sua casa, e pediu pão; e lhe pozeram pão, e comeu.
21 And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that you have done concerning the child? while it was yet living you did fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead you did rise up, and did eat bread, and drink.
E disseram-lhe seus servos: Que é isto que fizeste? Pela creança viva jejuaste e choraste; porém depois que morreu a creança te levantaste e comeste pão
22 And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?
E disse elle: Vivendo ainda a creança, jejuei e chorei, porque dizia: Quem sabe se o Senhor se compadecerá de mim, e viva a creança?
23 But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
Porém, agora que é morta, porque jejuaria eu agora? Poderei eu fazel-a mais voltar? Eu irei a ella, porém ella não voltará para mim.
24 And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
Então consolou David a Bath-seba, sua mulher, e entrou a ella, e se deitou com ella: e pariu ella um filho, e chamou o seu nome Salomão: e o Senhor o amou.
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
E enviou pela mão do propheta Nathan, e chamou o seu nome Jedid-jah, por amor do Senhor.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
Entretanto pelejou Joab contra Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.
Então mandou Joab mensageiros a David, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabba, e tambem tomei a cidade das aguas.
28 And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
Ajunta, pois, agora o resto do povo, e cerca a cidade, e toma-a, para que, tomando eu a cidade, não se acclame sobre ella o meu nome.
29 And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
Então ajuntou David a todo o povo, e marchou para Rabba, e pelejou contra ella, e a tomou.
30 And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
E tirou a corôa da cabeça do seu rei, cujo peso era d'um talento de oiro, e havia n'ella pedras preciosas, e foi posta sobre a cabeça de David: e da cidade levou mui grande despojo.
31 And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
E, trazendo o povo que havia n'ella, o poz ás serras, e ás talhadeiras de ferro, e aos machados de ferro, e os fez passar por forno de tijolos; e assim fez a todas as cidades dos filhos de Ammon: e voltou David e todo o povo para Jerusalem.
