2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel unto David, in Hebron, —and spake, saying—Behold us! thy bone and thy flesh, we are.

E vieram todas as tribos de Israel a Davi em Hebrom, e falaram, dizendo: Eis que nós somos teus ossos e tu carne.

2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou, wast he that led out and brought in, Israel, —and Yahweh said to thee—Thou, shalt be shepherd unto my people, Israel, and, thou, shalt become leader over Israel.

E ainda ontem e antes, quando Saul reinava sobre nós, tu tiravas e voltavas a Israel. Além disso, o SENHOR te disse: Tu apascentarás a meu povo Israel, e tu serás sobre Israel príncipe.

3 So all the elders of Israel came unto the king, in Hebron, and King David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel.

Vieram, pois, todos os anciãos de Israel ao rei em Hebrom, e o rei Davi fez com eles aliança em Hebrom diante do SENHOR; e ungiram a Davi por rei sobre Israel.

4 Thirty years old, was David when he began to reign, —forty years, he reigned:

Era Davi de trinta anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou quarenta anos.

5 in Hebron, reigned he over Judah, seven years, and six months, —and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.

Em Hebrom reinou sobre Judá sete anos e seis meses: e em Jerusalém reinou trinta e três anos sobre todo Israel e Judá.

6 Then went the king and his men, to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites, inhabiting the land, —and they spake to David, saying—Thou canst not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind and lame—Thinking, David will not come in hither.

Então o rei e os seus foram a Jerusalém aos jebuseus que habitavam na terra; os qual falaram a Davi, dizendo: Tu não entrarás aqui, a não ser que consigas expulsar aos cegos e aos coxos; e pensavam: Davi não entrará aqui.

7 So then David captured the citadel of Zion, —the same, is the city of David.

Porém Davi tomou a fortaleza de Sião, a qual é a cidade de Davi.

8 And David said, on that day—Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul, —for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place.

E disse Davi aquele dia: Quem chegará até os canais, e ferirá ao jebuseu, e aos coxos e cegos, aos quais a alma de Davi aborrece? Por isto se disse: Cego nem coxo não entrará em casa.

9 So then David dwelt in the citadel, and called it, The City of David, —and David built round about, from Millo and inwards.

E Davi morou na fortaleza e pôs-lhe por nome a Cidade de Davi: e edificou ao redor, desde Milo para dentro.

10 And David went on and on waxing great, —Yahweh, God of hosts, being with him.

E Davi ia crescendo e aumentando-se, e o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos era com ele.

11 Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers unto David, with cedar-wood, and carpenters, and masons, and they built a house for David.

E Hirão rei de Tiro enviou também embaixadores a Davi, e madeira de cedro, e carpinteiros, e pedreiros para os muros, os quais edificaram a casa de Davi.

12 So David perceived that Yahweh had established him to be king over Israel, —and that he had exalted his kingdom, for the sake of his people Israel.

E entendeu Davi que o SENHOR lhe havia confirmado por rei sobre Israel, e que havia exaltado seu reino por causa de seu povo Israel.

13 And David took him yet more concubines and wives, out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron, and there were, yet further, born unto David, sons and daughters.

E tomou Davi mais concubinas e mulheres de Jerusalém depois que veio de Hebrom, e nasceram-lhe mais filhos e filhas.

14 Now, these, are the names of the sons who were born unto him in Jerusalem, —Shammua and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;

Estes são os nomes dos que lhe nasceram em Jerusalém: Samua, e Sobabe, e Natã, e Salomão,

15 and Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Yaphia;

E Ibar, e Elisua, e Nefegue,

16 and Elishama and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

E Jafia, e Elisama, e Eliada, e Elifelete.

17 And, when the Philistine heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel, then came up all the Philistines to seek to secure David, and David heard of it, and went down into the citadel.

E ouvindo os filisteus que haviam ungido a Davi por rei sobre Israel, todos os filisteus subiram a buscar a Davi: o qual quando Davi ouviu, veio à fortaleza.

18 Now, the Philistines, had come, —and had spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.

E vieram os filisteus, e estenderam-se pelo vale de Refaim.

19 So then David enquired of Yahweh, saying, —Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said unto David—Go up; for I, will surely deliver, the Philistines into thy hand.

Então consultou Davi ao SENHOR, dizendo: Irei contra os filisteus? os entregarás em minhas mãos? E o SENHOR respondeu a Davi: Vai, porque certamente entregarei os filisteus em tuas mãos.

20 And David entered Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said—Yahweh hath broken forth upon mine enemies, before me, like a breaking forth of waters. For this cause, called he the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

E veio Davi a Baal-Perazim, e ali os venceu Davi, e disse: O SENHOR rompeu meus inimigos diante de mim, como o romper das águas. E por isto chamou o nome daquele lugar Baal-Perazim.

21 And they left their images there, —and David and his men took them away.

E deixaram ali seus ídolos, os quais queimou Davi e os seus.

22 And, yet again, did the Philistines come up, —and they spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.

E os filisteus voltaram a vir, e estenderam-se no vale de Refaim.

23 So David enquired of Yahweh, and he said—Thou shalt not go up, —Get round behind them, and come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees.

E consultando Davi ao SENHOR, ele lhe respondeu: Não subas; mas rodeia-os, e virás a eles por diante das amoreiras:

24 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou act with decision, —for, then, will Yahweh have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

E quando ouvires um estrondo que irá pelas copas das amoreiras, então te moverás; porque o SENHOR sairá diante de ti a ferir o acampamento dos filisteus.

25 And David did so, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and smote the Philistines, from Gibeon until thou enterest Gezer.

E Davi o fez assim como o SENHOR havia lhe mandado; e feriu aos filisteus desde Gibeá até chegar a Gaza.
