2 Samuel 12
1 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.
The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2 O rico tinha muitissimas ovelhas e vaccas;
The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
3 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.
but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him like a daughter.
4 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.
A traveler came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man who had come to him."
5 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.
David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die.
6 E pela cordeira tornará a dar o quadruplicado, porque fez tal coisa, e porque não se compadeceu.
He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity."
7 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,
Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
8 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.
I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
9 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:
Why have you despised the LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hethite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the people of Ammon.
10 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.
Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hethite to be your wife.'
11 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.
"This is what the LORD says: 'Look, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Porque tu o fizeste em occulto, mas eu farei este negocio perante todo o Israel e perante o sol.
For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"
13 Então disse David a Nathan: Pequei contra o Senhor. E disse Nathan a David: Tambem o Senhor traspassou o teu peccado; não morrerás.
David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14 Todavia, porquanto com este feito déste logar sobremaneira a que os inimigos do Senhor blasphemem, tambem o filho que te nasceu certamente morrerá.
However, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the LORD, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
15 Então Nathan se foi para sua casa; e o Senhor feriu a creança que a mulher de Urias parira a David, e adoeceu gravemente.
Then Nathan went to his home. And God struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16 E buscou David a Deus pela creança; e jejuou David, e entrou, e passou a noite prostrado sobre a terra:
Then David sought from God on behalf of the child. And David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
17 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
And the elders of his house approached him to lift him up from the ground, but he was unwilling, and he would not eat food with them.
18 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.
It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Look, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?"
19 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.
But when David noticed that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "He is dead."
20 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.
Then David arose from the ground, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked for bread to eat. And they set bread before him, and he ate.
21 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
Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept and kept vigil for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread."
22 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?
He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
23 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.
But now he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."
24 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.
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. The LORD loved him;
25 E enviou pela mão do propheta Nathan, e chamou o seu nome Jedid-jah, por amor do Senhor.
and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD's sake.
26 Entretanto pelejou Joab contra Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Então mandou Joab mensageiros a David, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabba, e tambem tomei a cidade das aguas.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and have also taken the water supply of the city.
28 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.
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and capture it yourself, or I will capture the city, and it will be named after me."
29 Então ajuntou David a todo o povo, e marchou para Rabba, e pelejou contra ella, e a tomou.
David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 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.
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
31 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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and to labor at the brick kiln. And he did the same to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
