2 Samuel 21
1 E nos dias de Davi houve fome por três anos consecutivos. E Davi consultou ao SENHOR, e o SENHOR lhe disse: É por Saul, e por aquela casa de sangue; porque matou aos gibeonitas.
There was a famine in David's time for three years in a row, and David sought the face of Yahweh. So Yahweh said, “This famine is on you because of Saul and his murderous family, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
2 Então o rei chamou aos gibeonitas, e falou-lhes. (Os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas sim do resto dos amorreus, aos quais os filhos de Israel fizeram juramento; mas Saul havia procurado matá-los com motivo de zelo pelos filhos de Israel e de Judá).
Now the Gibeonites were not from the people of Israel; they were from what remained of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul tried to kill them all anyway in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.
3 Disse, pois Davi aos gibeonitas: Que vos farei, e com que expiarei para que abençoeis à herança do SENHOR?
So King David called together the Gibeonites and said to them, “What should I do for you? How can I make atonement, so that you may bless the people of Yahweh, who inherit his goodness and promises?”
4 E os gibeonitas lhe responderam: Não temos nós queixa sobre prata nem sobre ouro com Saul, e com sua casa: nem queremos que morra homem de Israel. E ele lhes disse: O que vós disserdes vos farei.
The Gibeonites responded to him, “It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his family. In the same way it is not for us to put to death any man in Israel.” David replied, “What are you saying that I should do for you?”
5 E eles responderam ao rei: Daquele homem que nos destruiu, e que tramou contra nós, para nos exterminar sem deixar nada de nós em todo aquele termo de Israel;
They answered the king, “The man who tried to kill us all, who schemed against us, so that we are now destroyed and have no place within the borders of Israel—
6 Deem-se a nós sete homens de seus filhos, para que os enforquemos ao SENHOR em Gibeá de Saul, o escolhido do SENHOR. E o rei disse: Eu os darei.
let seven men from his descendants be handed over to us, and we will hang them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the one chosen by Yahweh.” So the king said, “I will give them to you.”
7 E perdoou o rei a Mefibosete, filho de Jônatas, filho de Saul, pelo juramento do SENHOR que havia entre eles, entre Davi e Jônatas filho de Saul.
But the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul, because of Yahweh's oath between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
8 Mas tomou o rei dois filhos de Rispa filha de Aiá, os quais ela havia dado à luz de Saul, a saber, a Armoni e a Mefibosete; e cinco filhos de Mical filha de Saul, os quais ela havia dado à luz de Adriel, filho de Barzilai meolatita;
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, sons whom she bore to Saul—the two sons were named Armoni and Mephibosheth; and David also took the five sons of Merab daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 E entregou-os em mãos dos gibeonitas, e eles os enforcaram no monte diante do SENHOR: e morreram juntos aqueles sete, os quais foram mortos no tempo da colheita, nos primeiros dias, no princípio da colheita das cevadas.
He handed them over into the hands of the Gibeonites. They hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and they died all seven together. They were put to death during the time of harvest, during the first days at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Tomando logo Rispa filha de Aiá um saco, estendeu-o sobre um penhasco, desde o princípio da colheita até que choveu sobre eles água do céu; e não deixou a nenhuma ave do céu assentar-se sobre eles de dia, nem animais do campo de noite.
Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the mountain beside the dead bodies, from the beginning of harvest until the rain poured down on them from the sky. She did not allow the birds of the sky to disturb the bodies by day or the wild animals by night.
11 E foi dito a Davi o que fazia Rispa filha de Aiá, concubina de Saul.
It was told to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the slave wife of Saul, had done.
12 Então Davi foi, e tomou os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho, dos homens de Jabes de Gileade, que os haviam furtado da praça de Bete-Seã, de onde os haviam pendurado os filisteus, quando os filisteus mataram a Saul em Gilboa:
So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, after the Philistines had killed Saul in Gilboa.
13 E fez levar dali os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho; e juntaram também os ossos dos enforcados.
David took away from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of the seven men who had been hanged, as well.
14 E sepultaram os ossos de Saul e os de seu filho Jônatas em terra de Benjamim, em Selá, no sepulcro de Quis seu pai; e fizeram tudo o que o rei havia mandado. Depois se aplacou Deus com a terra.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They performed all that the king commanded. After that God answered their prayers for the land.
15 Quando os filisteus voltaram a fazer guerra a Israel, Davi desceu com os seus servos, e lutaram contra os filisteus; e Davi se cansou.
Then the Philistines went to war again with Israel. So David went down with his army and fought against the Philistines. David was overcome with battle fatigue.
16 Nisso, Isbi-Benobe, que era dos filhos do gigante, e que cuja lança pesava trezentos siclos de bronze, estando ele cingido com uma espada nova, pretendeu ferir Davi.
Ishbi-Benob, a descendant of the giants, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels, and who was armed with a new sword, intended to kill David.
17 Mas Abisai, filho de Zeruia, o socorreu, feriu o filisteu, e o matou. Então os homens de Davi lhe juraram, dizendo: “Nunca mais sairás conosco à batalha, para que não apagues a lâmpada de Israel.”
But Abishai son of Zeruiah rescued David, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You must not go to battle anymore with us, so that you do not put out the lamp of Israel.”
18 Outra segunda guerra houve depois em Gobe contra os filisteus; então Sibecai, husatita, feriu a Safe, que era dos filhos do gigante.
It came about after this that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob, when Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the descendants of the Rephaim.
19 Outra guerra houve em Gobe contra os filisteus, na qual Elanã, filho de Jaaré-Oregim de Belém, feriu a Golias geteu, a haste de cuja lança era como um lançador de tear.
It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Depois houve outra guerra em Gate, de onde houve um homem de grande altura, o qual tinha doze dedos nas mãos, e outros doze nos pés, vinte e quatro em todos: e também era dos filhos do gigante.
It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
21 Este desafiou a Israel, e foi morto por Jônatas, filho de Simeia irmão de Davi.
When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
22 Estes quatro lhe haviam nascido ao gigante em Gate, os quais caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão de seus servos.
These were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
