2 Samuel 5

1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.

Então todas as tribos de Israel vieram a David, a Hebron, e falaram, dizendo: Eis-nos aqui, teus ossos e tua carne somos.

2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler over Israel.'"

E também de antes, sendo Saul ainda rei sobre nós, eras tu o que saías e entravas com Israel; e também o Senhor te disse: Tu apascentarás o meu povo de Israel, e tu serás chefe sobre Israel.

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.

Assim pois todos os anciãos de Israel vieram ao rei, a Hebron; e o rei David fez com eles aliança em Hebron, perante o Senhor: e ungiram a David rei sobre Israel.

4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

Da idade de trinta anos era David quando começou a reinar: quarenta anos reinou.

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

Em Hebron reinou sobre Judá sete anos e seis meses, e em Jerusalém reinou trinta e três anos sobre todo o Israel e Judá.

6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, "You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will repel you"; thinking, "David can't come in here."

E partiu o rei com os seus homens a Jerusalém, contra os jebuseus que habitavam naquela terra; e falaram a David, dizendo: Não entrarás aqui, que os cegos e os coxos te rechaçaram daqui (querendo dizer: Não entrará David aqui)

7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.

Porém David tomou a fortaleza de Sião: esta é a cidade de David.

8 David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."

Porque David disse naquele dia: Qualquer que ferir aos jebuseus, e chegar ao canal, e aos coxos e aos cegos, que a alma de David aborrece, será cabeça e capitão. Por isso se diz: Nem cego nem coxo entrará nesta casa.

9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.

Assim habitou David na fortaleza, e a chamou a cidade de David: e David foi edificando em redor, desde milo até dentro.

10 David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.

E David se ia cada vez mais aumentando e crescendo, porque o Senhor Deus dos exércitos era com ele.

11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.

E Hirão, rei de Tiro, enviou mensageiros a David, e madeira de cedro, e carpinteiros, e pedreiros: edificaram a David uma casa.

12 And David knew that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

E entendeu David que o Senhor o confirmara rei sobre Israel, e que exaltara o seu reino por amor do seu povo.

13 David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

E tomou David mais concubinas e mulheres de Jerusalém, depois que viera de Hebron: e nasceram a David mais filhos e filhas.

14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

E estes são os nomes dos que lhe nasceram em Jerusalém: Sammua, e Sobab, e Nathan, e Salomão,

15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

E Ibhar, e Elisua, e Nepheg, e Japhia,

16 and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.

E Elisama, e Eliada, e Eliphelet.

17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.

Ouvindo pois os philisteus que haviam ungido a David rei sobre Israel, todos os philisteus subiram em busca de David: o que ouvindo David, desceu à fortaleza.

18 Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

E os philisteus vieram, e se estenderam pelo vale de Rephaim.

19 David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to David, "Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand."

E David consultou ao Senhor, dizendo: Subirei contra os philisteus? entregar-mos-ás nas minhas mãos? E disse o Senhor a David: Sobe, porque certamente entregarei os philisteus nas tuas mãos.

20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

Então veio David a Baal-perasim; e feriu-os ali David, e disse: Rompeu o Senhor a meus inimigos diante de mim, como quem rompe águas. Por isso chamou o nome daquele lugar Baal-perasim.

21 And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.

E deixaram ali os seus ídolos; e David e os seus homens os tomaram.

22 The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.

E os philisteus tornaram a subir, e se estenderam pelo vale de Rephaim.

23 And David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar trees.

E David consultou ao Senhor, o qual disse: Não subirás: mas rodeia por detraz deles, e virás a eles por defronte das amoreiras.

24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."

E há de ser que, ouvindo tu um estrondo de marcha pelas copas das amoreiras, então te apressarás: porque o Senhor saiu então diante de ti, a ferir o arraial dos philisteus.

25 David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Geba as far as the approach to Gezer.

E fez David assim como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado: e feriu os philisteus desde Gibeah, até chegar a Gezer.
