2 Samuel 12
1 And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
E o Senhor enviou Nathan a David: e, entrando ele a David, disse-lhe: Havia numa cidade dois homens, um rico e outro pobre.
2 The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds,
O rico tinha muitíssimas ovelhas e vacas;
3 but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up. And it grew up together with him, and with his sons. It ate of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
Mas o pobre não tinha coisa nenhuma, senão uma pequena cordeira que comprara e criara; e ela tinha crescido com ele e com seus filhos igualmente; do seu bocado comia, e do seu copo bebia, e dormia em seu regaço, e a tinha como filha.
4 And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd to dress for the wayfaring man who came to him, but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man who came to him.
E, vindo ao homem rico um viajante, deixou este de tomar das suas ovelhas e das suas vacas para guizar para o viajante que viera a ele: e tomou a cordeira do homem pobre, e a preparou para o homem que viera a ele.
5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die.
Então o furor de David se acendeu em grande maneira contra aquele homem, e disse a Nathan: Vive o Senhor, que digno de morte é o homem que fez isso.
6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
E pela cordeira tornará a dar o quadruplicado, porque fez tal coisa, e porque não se compadeceu.
7 And Nathan said to David, Thou are the man. Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul.
Então disse Nathan a David: Tu és este homem. Assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: Eu te ungi rei sobre Israel, e eu te livrei das mãos de Saul,
8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah. And if that had been too little, I would have added to thee such and such things.
E te dei a casa de teu senhor, e as mulheres de teu senhor em teu seio, e também te dei a casa de Israel e de Judá, e, se isto é pouco, mais te acrescentaria tais e tais coisas.
9 Why have thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? Thou have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be thy wife, and have slain him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
Porque, pois, desprezaste a palavra do Senhor, fazendo o mal diante de seus olhos? A Urias, o hetheu, feriste à espada, e a sua mulher tomaste por tua mulher; e a ele mataste com a espada dos filhos de Ammon:
10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
Agora, pois, não se apartará a espada jamais da tua casa, porquanto me desprezaste, e tomaste a mulher de Urias, o hetheu, para que te seja por mulher.
11 Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house. And I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them to thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que suscitarei da tua mesma casa o mal sobre ti, e tomarei tuas mulheres perante os teus olhos, e as darei a teu próximo, o qual se deitará com tuas mulheres perante este sol.
12 For thou did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
Porque tu o fizeste em oculto, mas eu farei este negócio perante todo o Israel e perante o sol.
13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said to David, Jehovah also has put away thy sin; thou shall not die.
Então disse David a Nathan: Pequei contra o Senhor. E disse Nathan a David: também o Senhor traspassou o teu pecado; não morrerás.
14 However, because by this deed thou have given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born to thee shall surely die.
Todavia, porquanto com este feito deste lugar sobremaneira a que os inimigos do Senhor blasfemem, também o filho que te nasceu certamente morrerá.
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
Então Nathan se foi para sua casa; e o Senhor feriu a criança que a mulher de Urias parira a David, e adoeceu gravemente.
16 David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground.
E buscou David a Deus pela criança; e jejuou David, e entrou, e passou a noite prostrado sobre a terra:
17 And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
Então os anciãos da sua casa se levantaram a ele, para o levantar da terra; porém ele não quis, e não comeu pão com eles
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he did not hearken to our voice, how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!
E sucedeu que ao sétimo dia morreu a criança: e temiam os servos de David dizer-lhe que a criança era morta, porque diziam: Eis que, sendo a criança ainda viva, lhe falavamos, porém não dava ouvidos à nossa voz; como pois lhe diremos que a criança é morta? Porque mais mal lhe faria.
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead. And David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
Viu porém David que seus servos falavam baixo, e entendeu David que a criança era morta, pelo que disse David a seus servos: É morta a criança? E eles disseram: É morta.
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel. And he came into the house of Jehovah, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
Então David se levantou da terra, e se lavou, e se ungiu, e mudou de vestidos, e entrou na casa do Senhor, e adorou: então veio a sua casa, e pediu pão; e lhe puseram pão, e comeu.
21 Then his servants said to him, What thing is this that thou have done? Thou fasted and wept for the child while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou arose and ate bread.
E disseram-lhe seus servos: Que é isto que fizeste? Pela criança viva jejuaste e choraste; porém depois que morreu a criança te levantaste e comeste pão
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept. For I said, Who knows whether Jehovah will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
E disse ele: Vivendo ainda a criança, jejuei e chorei, porque dizia: Quem sabe se o Senhor se compadecerá de mim, e viva a criança?
23 But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
Porém, agora que é morta, porque jejuaria eu agora? Poderei eu faze-la mais voltar? Eu irei a ela, porém ela não voltará para mim.
24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And Jehovah loved him,
Então consolou David a Bath-seba, sua mulher, e entrou a ela, e se deitou com ela: e pariu ela um filho, e chamou o seu nome Salomão: e o Senhor o amou.
25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet. And he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake.
E enviou pela mão do profeta Nathan, e chamou o seu nome Jedid-jah, por amor do Senhor.
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took the royal city.
Entretanto pelejou Joab contra Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yea, I have taken the city of waters.
Então mandou Joab mensageiros a David, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabba, e também tomei a cidade das águas.
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it, lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
Ajunta, pois, agora o resto do povo, e cerca a cidade, e toma-a, para que, tomando eu a cidade, não se aclame sobre ela o meu nome.
29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
Então ajuntou David a todo o povo, e marchou para Rabba, e pelejou contra ela, e a tomou.
30 And he took the crown of their king from off his head. And the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones. And it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceedingly much.
E tirou a coroa da cabeça do seu rei, cujo peso era dum talento de ouro, e havia nela pedras preciosas, e foi posta sobre a cabeça de David: e da cidade levou mui grande despojo.
31 And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
E, trazendo o povo que havia nela, o pôs às serras, e às talhadeiras de ferro, e aos machados de ferro, e os fez passar por forno de tijolos; e assim fez a todas as cidades dos filhos de Ammon: e voltou David e todo o povo para Jerusalém.
