2 Samuel 3
1 And the war lasted a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker and weaker.
E houve uma longa guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de David: porém David se ia fortalecendo, mas os da casa de Saul se iam enfraquecendo.
2 And there were born unto David sons in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Achino'am the Yizre'elitess;
E a David nasceram filhos em Hebron: e foi o seu primogênito Amnon, de Achinoam a jizreelita;
3 And his second was Kilab, of Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Abshalom, the son of Ma'achah the daughter of Talmai the king of Geshur;
E seu segundo Chileab, de Abigail, mulher de Nabal, o carmelita; e o terceiro Absalão, filho de Maaka, filha de Talmai, rei de Gesur;
4 And the fourth, Adoniyah, the son of Chaggith; and the fifth, Shephatyah, the son of Abital;
E o quarto Adonias, filho de Haggith; e o quinto Sephatias, filho de Abital;
5 And the sixth, Yithre'am, by 'Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
E o sexto Jithream, de Egla, também mulher de David: estes nasceram a David em Hebron.
6 And it came to pass, while the war lasted between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner upheld with all his strength the house of Saul.
E, havendo guerra entre a casa de Saul, e a casa de David, sucedeu que Abner se esforçava na casa de Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Ayah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
E tinha tido Saul uma concubina, cujo nome era Rispa, filha de Aia: e disse Isboseth a Abner: Porque entraste à concubina de meu pai?
8 And Abner became very wroth because of the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I the chief of the dogs which belong to Judah? unto this day have I shown kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me today with a wrong committed with this woman?
Então se irou muito Abner pelas palavras de Isboseth, e disse: Sou eu cabeça de cão, que pertença a Judá? ainda hoje faço beneficência à casa de Saul, teu pai, a seus irmãos, e a seus amigos, e te não entreguei nas mãos de David, e tu hoje buscas motivo para me arguires por respeito da maldade de uma mulher.
9 May God do so to Abner, and continue to do yet more to him, that, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so will I surely do to him;
Assim faça Deus a Abner, e outro tanto, que como o Senhor jurou a David assim lhe hei de fazer,
10 To transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba'.
Transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e levantando o trono de David sobre Israel, e sobre Judá, desde Dan até Berseba.
11 And he could not answer Abner a word more in reply, because of his fear of him.
E nem ainda uma palavra podia responder a Abner: porque o temia.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also, ] Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.
Então ordenou Abner da sua parte mensageiros a David, dizendo: De quem é a terra? E disse: Comigo faze a tua aliança, e eis que a minha mão será contigo, para tornar a ti todo o Israel.
13 And he said, Well: I will indeed make a covenant with thee; but one thing I require of thee, namely, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
E disse David: Bem, eu farei contigo aliança, porém uma coisa te peço, que é: não verás a minha face, se primeiro me não trouxeres a Michal, filha de Saul, quando vieres ver a minha face.
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, saying, Give up to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Também enviou David mensageiros a Isboseth, filho de Saul, dizendo: Dá-me minha mulher Michal, que eu desposei comigo por cem prepúcios de philisteus.
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from the man, from Paltiel the son of Layish.
E enviou Isboseth, e a tirou a seu marido, a Phaltiel, filho de Lais.
16 And her husband went with her going along and weeping behind her as far as Bachurim: when Abner said unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
E ia com ela seu marido, caminhando, e chorando detraz dela, até Baurim. Então lhe disse Abner: vai-te agora, volta. E ele voltou.
17 And Abner had used these words with the elders of Israel, saying, Already yesterday and even before ye have been desiring David as king over you:
E praticava Abner com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Muito tempo há que procuráveis que David reinasse sobre vós;
18 And now do it; for the Lord hath said of David thus, By the hand of my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
Fazei-o pois agora, porque o Senhor falou a David, dizendo: Pela mão de David meu servo livrarei o meu povo das mãos dos philisteus e das mãos de todos os seus inimigos.
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of the whole house of Benjamin.
E falou também Abner o mesmo aos ouvidos de Benjamin: e foi também Abner dizer aos ouvidos de David, em Hebron, tudo o que era bom aos olhos de Israel e aos olhos de toda a casa de Benjamin.
20 And Abner came to David to Hebron, and with him were twenty men; and David made for Abner and for the men that were with him a feast.
E veio Abner a David, a Hebron, e vinte homens com ele: e David fez um banquete a Abner e aos homens que com ele vinham.
21 And Abner said unto David, I will now arise and go, and I will assemble unto my Lord the king all Israel, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul longeth for. And David dismissed Abner: and he went in peace.
Então disse Abner a David: Eu me levantarei, e irei, e ajuntarei ao rei meu senhor todo o Israel, para fazerem aliança contigo; e tu reinarás sobre tudo o que desejar a tua alma. Assim despediu David a Abner, e foi-se ele em paz.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a predatory excursion, and brought in much booty with them; but Abner was no more with David in Hebron; for he had dismissed him, and he was gone in peace.
E eis que os servos de David e Joab vieram de uma sortida, e traziam consigo grande despojo; e já Abner não estava com David em Hebron, porque o tinha despedido, e se tinha ido em paz.
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath dismissed him, and he is gone in peace.
Chegando pois Joab, e todo o exército que vinha com ele, deram aviso a Joab, dizendo: Abner, filho de Ner, veio ao rei, e o despediu, e foi-se em paz.
24 Then came Joab to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee: why is it that thou hast dismissed him, that he went freely away?
Então Joab entrou ao rei, e disse: Que fizeste? eis que Abner veio ter contigo; porque pois o despediste, de maneira que se fosse assim livremente?
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that to deceive thee did he come, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou art doing.
Bem conheces a Abner, filho de Ner, que te veio enganar, e saber a tua saída e a tua entrada, e entender tudo quanto fazes.
26 And Joab went out from David, and he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David knew it not.
E Joab, retirando-se de David, enviou mensageiros atráz de Abner, e o fizeram voltar desde o poço de Sira, sem que David o soubesse.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him in private; and he smote him there under the fifth rib, and he died, for the blood of 'Asahel his brother.
Tornando pois Abner a Hebron, Joab o tirou à parte, à entrada da porta, para lhe falar em segredo: e feriu-o ali pela quinta costela, e morreu, por causa do sangue de Asael seu irmão.
28 And when David heard it afterward, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
O que David depois ouvindo, disse: inocente sou eu, e o meu reino, para com o Senhor, para sempre, do sangue de Abner, filho de Ner.
29 May it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and may there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
Fique-se sobre a cabeça de Joab e sobre toda a casa de seu pai, e nunca da casa de Joab falte quem tenha fluxo, nem quem seja leproso, nem quem se atenha a bordão, nem quem caia à espada, nem quem necessite de pão.
30 But Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother 'Asahel at Gib'on in the battle.
Joab pois e Abisai, seu irmão, mataram a Abner, por ter morto a Asael, seu irmão, na peleja em Gibeon.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and [go] mourning before Abner. And king David walked behind the bier.
Disse pois David a Joab, e a todo o povo que com ele estava: rasgai os vossos vestidos; e cingi-vos de sacos e ide pranteando diante de Abner. E o rei David ia seguindo o féretro.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
E, sepultando a Abner em Hebron, o rei levantou a sua voz, e chorou junto da sepultura de Abner; e chorou todo o povo.
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, O, that Abner had to die, as the worthless dieth!
E o rei, pranteando a Abner, disse: Não morreu Abner como morre o vilão?
34 Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet were not put into fetters: as one falleth before men of wickedness art thou fallen. And all the people wept again over him.
As tuas mãos não estavam atadas, nem os teus pés carregados de grilhões de bronze, mas caíste como os que caem diante dos filhos da maldade! Então todo o povo chorou muito mais por ele
35 And all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and thus may he continue, if before the sun be down I taste bread, or the least else.
Então todo o povo veio fazer que David comesse pão, sendo ainda dia, porém David jurou, dizendo: Assim Deus me faça, e outro tanto, se, antes que o sol se ponha, eu provar pão ou alguma coisa.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it was pleasing in their eyes: as whatsoever the king did was pleasing in the eyes of all the people.
O que todo o povo entendendo, pareceu bem aos seus olhos, assim como tudo quanto o rei fez pareceu bem aos olhos de todo o povo.
37 And all the people and all Israel understood on that day that it had not been of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
E todo o povo e todo o Israel entenderam naquele mesmo dia que não procedera do rei que matassem a Abner, filho de Ner.
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that a prince and a great man hath fallen this day in Israel?
Então disse o rei aos seus servos: Não sabeis que hoje caiu em Israel um príncipe e um grande?
39 And I am this day yet weak, and just anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruyah, are too strong for me: may the Lord pay the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
Que eu ainda sou tenro, ainda que ungido rei; estes homens, filhos de Zeruia, são mais duros do que eu: o Senhor pagará ao malfeitor, conforme a sua maldade.
