2 Samuel 16

1 E quando Davi passou um pouco do cume do monte, eis que Ziba, o criado de Mefibosete, que o saía a receber com um par de asnos aprontados, e sobre eles duzentos pães, e cem cachos de passas, e cem pães de figos secos, e um odre de vinho.

When David had gone a short distance over the summit of the hill, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys; on them were two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred bunches of figs, and a skin of wine.

2 E disse o rei a Ziba: Que é isto? E Ziba respondeu: Os asnos são para a família do rei, em que s; os pães e a passa para os criados, que comam; e o vinho, para que bebam os que se cansarem no deserto.

The king said to Ziba, “Why did you bring these things?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and fig cakes are for your men to eat, and the wine is for anyone who is faint in the wilderness to drink.”

3 E disse o rei: Onde está o filho de teu senhor? E Ziba respondeu ao rei: Eis que ele ficou em Jerusalém, porque disse: Hoje me devolverá a casa de Israel o reino de meu pai.

The king said, “Then where is your master's grandson?” Ziba replied to the king, “Look, he has stayed behind in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore my father's kingdom to me.'”

4 Então o rei disse a Ziba: Eis que, seja teu tudo o que tem Mefibosete. E respondeu Ziba inclinando-se: Rei senhor meu, ache eu favor diante de ti.

Then the king said to Ziba, “Look, all that belonged to Mephibosheth now belongs to you.” Ziba answered, “I bow in humility to you, my master, king. Let me find favor in your eyes.”

5 E veio o rei Davi até Baurim: e eis que, saía um da família da casa de Saul, o qual se chamava Simei, filho de Gera; e saía amaldiçoando,

When King David approached Bahurim, there came out from there a man from the clan of Saul, whose name was Shimei son of Gera. He came out cursing as he walked.

6 E lançando pedras contra Davi, e contra todos os servos do rei Davi: e todo aquele povo, e todos os homens valentes estavam à sua direita e à sua esquerda.

He threw stones at David and at all of the king's officials, in spite of the army and bodyguards who were on the king's right and left.

7 E dizia Simei, amaldiçoando-lhe: Sai, sai, homem sanguinário, e homem maligno!

Shimei called out in cursing, “Go away, get out of here, you villain, you man of blood!

8 O SENHOR te retribuiu por todo o sangue da casa de Saul, em lugar do qual tu reinaste: mas o SENHOR entregou o reino em mãos de teu filho Absalão; e eis que estás em tua desgraça, porque és homem sanguinário.

Yahweh has repaid all of you for the blood you shed within the family of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. Yahweh has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. You have come to ruin because you are a man of blood.”

9 Então Abisai filho de Zeruia, disse ao rei: Por que almadiçoa este cão morto a meu senhor o rei? Eu te rogo que me deixes passar, e tirarei dele a cabeça.

Then Abishai son of Zeruiah, said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my master the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”

10 E o rei respondeu: Que tenho eu convosco, filhos de Zeruia? Ele almadiçoa assim, porque o SENHOR lhe disse que almadiçoasse a Davi; quem pois lhe dirá: Por que o fazes assim?

But the king said, “What have I to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? Perhaps he is cursing me because Yahweh has said to him, 'Curse David.' Who then could say to him, 'Why are you cursing the king?'”

11 E disse Davi a Abisai e a todos os seus servos: Eis que, meu filho que saiu de minhas entranhas, busca à minha vida: quanto mais agora um filho de Benjamim? Deixai-lhe que amaldiçoe, que o SENHOR se o disse.

So David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Look, my son, who was born from my body, wants to take my life. How much more may this Benjamite now desire my ruin? Leave him alone and let him curse, for Yahweh has commanded him to do it.

12 Talvez o SENHOR olhe a minha aflição, e o SENHOR me conceda o bem por suas maldições de hoje.

Perhaps Yahweh will look at the misery unleashed on me, and repay me with good for his cursing me today.”

13 E quando Davi e os seus iam pelo caminho, Simei ia pelo lado do monte diante dele, andando e amaldiçoando, e lançando pedras diante dele, e espalhando pó.

So David and his men traveled on the road, while Shimei went beside him up on the hillside, cursing and throwing dust and stones at him as he went.

14 E o rei e todo aquele povo que com ele estava, chegaram exaustos, e descansaram ali.

Then the king and all the people who were with him became weary, and he rested when they stopped for the night.

15 E Absalão e todo aquele povo, os homens de Israel, entraram em Jerusalém, e com ele Aitofel.

As for Absalom and all the men of Israel who were with him, they came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

16 E aconteceu logo, que quando Husai arquita amigo de Davi chegou a Absalão, disse-lhe Husai: Viva o rei, viva o rei.

It came about when Hushai the Arkite, David's friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”

17 E Absalão disse a Husai: Este é teu agradecimento para com teu amigo? Por que não foste com teu amigo?

Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with him?”

18 E Husai respondeu a Absalão: Não; mas sim a quem o SENHOR escolher, assim como este povo e todos os homens de Israel, dele serei eu, e com ele permanecerei.

Hushai said to Absalom, “No! Instead, the one whom Yahweh and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, that is the man to whom I will belong, and I will stay with him.

19 E a quem havia eu de servir? Não seria a seu filho? Como servi diante de teu pai, assim serei diante de ti.

Also, what man should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, I will serve in your presence.”

20 Então disse Absalão a Aitofel: Consultai que faremos.

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give us your advice about what we should do.”

21 E Aitofel disse a Absalão: Entra às concubinas de teu pai, que ele deixou para guardar a casa; e todo aquele povo de Israel ouvirá que te fizeste aborrecível a teu pai, e assim se esforçarão as mãos de todos os que estão contigo.

Ahithophel answered Absalom, “Go sleep with your father's slave wives whom he has left to keep the palace, and all Israel will hear that you have become a stench to your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”

22 Então puseram uma tenda a Absalão sobre o terraço, e entrou Absalão às concubinas de seu pai, em olhos de todo Israel.

So they spread for Absalom a tent on the top of the palace, and Absalom slept with his father's slave wives in the sight of all Israel.

23 E o conselho que dava Aitofel em aqueles dias, era como se consultassem a palavra de Deus. Tal era o conselho de Aitofel, assim com Davi como com Absalão.

Now the advice of Ahithophel that he gave in those days was as if a man heard from the mouth of God himself. That was how all of Ahithophel's advice was viewed by both David and Absalom.
