2 Samuel 4
1 Logo que o filho de Saul ouviu que Abner havia sido morto em Hebrom, as mãos se lhe desconjuntaram, e todo Israel foi atemorizado.
And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled.
2 E o filho de Saul tinha dois homens, os quais eram capitães de tropa, o nome de um era Baaná, e o do outro Recabe, filhos de Rimom beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim (porque Beerote era contada com Benjamim;
Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin.
3 esses beerotitas haviam fugido a Gitaim, e eram peregrinos ali até então).
And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time.
4 E Jônatas, filho de Saul, tinha um filho aleijado dos pés de idade de cinco anos, o qual, quando a notícia da morte de Saul e de Jônatas veio de Jezreel, a sua ama o tomou e fugiu; e quando ela ia fugindo depressa, o menino caiu e ficou aleijado. Seu nome era Mefibosete.
And Jonathan the son of Saul bad a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.
5 Então os filhos de Rimom beerotita, Recabe e Baaná, foram e entraram no maior calor do dia na casa de Is-Bosete, o qual estava dormindo à sesta.
And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep.
6 Eles entraram no meio da casa como quem vinha buscar trigo, e lhe feriram na quinta costela. E Recabe e seu irmão Baaná escaparam.
And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.
7 Pois, quando entraram na casa, estando ele em sua cama em seu quarto, feriram-no de morte, e cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e, havendo-a tomado, caminharam toda a noite pelo caminho da planície.
For when they came into the house, be was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him: and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.
8 E trouxeram a cabeça de Is-Bosete a Davi em Hebrom, e disseram ao rei: Eis aqui a cabeça de Is-Bosete, filho de Saul, teu inimigo, que procurava matar-te; e o SENHOR vingou hoje ao meu senhor, o rei, de Saul e de sua descendência.
And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
9 E Davi respondeu a Recabe e a seu irmão Baaná, filhos de Rimom beerotita, e disse-lhes: Vive o SENHOR que redimiu minha alma de toda angústia,
But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
10 que, quando um me deu a notícia, dizendo: Eis que Saul é morto, imaginando que trazia uma boa notícia, eu o detive e o matei em Ziclague, por causa da notícia.
The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news.
11 Quanto mais aos homens maus que mataram a um homem justo em sua casa, e sobre sua cama? Agora, pois, não tenho eu de exigir o seu sangue das vossas mãos, e exterminar-vos da terra?
How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth?
12 Então Davi deu ordem aos rapazes, e eles os mataram, e cortaram-lhes as mãos e os pés, e penduraram-nos sobre o tanque, em Hebrom. Depois tomaram a cabeça de Is-Bosete, e enterraram-na no sepulcro de Abner em Hebrom.
And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
