2 Samuel 1
1 Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
E sucedeu, depois da morte de Saul, voltando David da derrota dos amalequitas, e ficando David dois dias em Siclag,
2 Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
Sucedeu ao terceiro dia que eis que um homem veio do arraial de Saul com os vestidos rotos e com terra sobre a cabeça; e, sucedeu que chegando ele a David, se lançou no chão, e se inclinou.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”
E David lhe disse: de onde vens? E ele lhe disse: Escapei do exército de Israel.
4 And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
E disse-lhe David: Como foi lá isso? peço-te, dize-mo. E ele lhe respondeu: O povo fugiu da batalha, e muitos do povo cairam, e morreram, assim como também Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, foram mortos.
5 And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
E disse David ao mancebo que lhe trazia as novas: Como sabes tu que Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, são mortos?
6 And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
Então disse o mancebo que lhe dava a notícia: Cheguei por acaso à montanha de Gilboa, e eis que Saul estava encostado sobre a sua lança, e eis que carros e capitães de cavalaria apertavam com ele.
7 And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
E, olhando ele para traz de si, viu-me a mim, e chamou-me; e eu disse: Eis-me aqui.
8 he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”
E ele me disse: Quem és tu? E eu lhe disse: Sou amalekita.
9 And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”
Então ele me disse: Peço-te, arremessa-te sobre mim, e mata-me, porque angústias me tem cercado, pois toda a minha vida está ainda em mim.
10 And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
Arremessei-me pois sobre ele, e o matei, porque bem sabia eu que não viveria depois da sua queda, e tomei a coroa que tinha na cabeça, e a manilha que trazia no braço, e as trouxe aqui a meu senhor.
11 Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.
Então apanhou David os seus vestidos, e os rasgou, como também todos os homens que estavam com ele.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
E prantearam, e choraram, e jejuaram até à tarde por Saul, e por Jonathan, seu filho, e pelo povo do Senhor, e pela casa de Israel, porque tinham caído à espada.
13 And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
Disse então David ao mancebo que lhe trouxera a nova: de onde és tu? E disse ele: Sou filho de um homem estrangeiro, amalekita.
14 And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
E David lhe disse: Como não temeste tu estender a mão para matares ao ungido do Senhor?
15 And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
Então chamou David a um dos mancebos, e disse: Chega, e lança-te sobre ele. E ele o feriu, e morreu.
16 And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
E disse-lhe David: O teu sangue seja sobre a tua cabeça, porque a tua própria boca testificou contra ti, dizendo: Eu matei o ungido do Senhor.
17 Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
E lamentou David a Saul e a Jonathan, seu filho, com esta lamentação,
18 (And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
Dizendo ele que ensinassem aos filhos de Judá o uso do arco: Eis que está escrito no livro do reto:
19 The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
Ah, ornamento de Israel! nos teus altos fui ferido: como cairam os valentes!
20 Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
Não o noticieis em Gath, não o publiqueis nas ruas de Escalon, para que não se alegrem as filhas dos philisteus, para que não saltem de contentamento as filhas dos incircuncisos.
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.
Vós, montes de Gilboa, nem orvalho, nem chuva caia sobre vós, nem sobre vós, campos de ofertas alçadas, pois ai desprezivelmente foi arrojado o escudo dos valentes, o escudo de Saul, como se não fôra ungido com óleo.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
Do sangue dos feridos, da gordura dos valentes, nunca se retirou para traz o arco de Jonathan, nem voltou vazia a espada de Saul.
23 Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
Saul e Jonathan, tão amados e queridos na sua vida, também na sua morte se não separaram: eram mais ligeiros do que as águias, mais fortes do que os leões.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
Vós, filhas de Israel, chorai por Saul, que vos vestia de escarlata em delícias, que vos fazia trazer ornamentos de ouro sobre os vossos vestidos.
25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
Como cairam os valentes no meio da peleja! Jonathan nos teus altos foi ferido,
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
Angustiado estou por ti, meu irmão Jonathan; quão amabilíssimo me eras! mais maravilhoso me era o teu amor do que o amor das mulheres.
27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
Como cairam os valentes, e pereceram as armas de guerra!
