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 Natã a Davi, o qual vindo a ele, disse-lhe: Havia dois homens em uma cidade, um rico, e o outro pobre.
2 The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds,
O rico tinha numerosas 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 mais que uma só cordeira, que ele havia comprado e criado, e que havia crescido com ele e com seus filhos juntamente, comendo de seu bocado, e bebendo de seu vaso, e dormindo em seu fundo: e tinha-a como de uma vez 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 veio um de caminho ao homem rico; e ele não quis tomar de suas ovelhas e de suas vacas, para guisar ao caminhante que lhe havia vindo, mas sim que tomou a ovelha daquele homem pobre, e preparou-a para aquele que lhe havia vindo.
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 se acendeu o furor de Davi em grande maneira contra aquele homem, e disse a Natã: Vive o SENHOR, que o que tal fez é digno de morte.
6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
E que ele deve pagar a cordeira com quatro tantos, porque fez esta tal coisa, e não teve misericórdia.
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 Natã a Davi: Tu és aquele homem. Assim disse o SENHOR, Deus de Israel: Eu te ungi por rei sobre Israel, e te livre da mão 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.
Eu te dei a casa de teu senhor, e as mulheres de teu senhor em teu fundo: demais disto te dei a casa de Israel e de Judá; e se isto é pouco, eu te acrescentarei 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.
Por que, pois, tiveste em pouco a palavra do SENHOR, fazendo o que era mau diante de seus olhos? A Urias Heteu feriste à espada, e tomaste por tua mulher a sua mulher, e a ele mataste com a espada dos filhos de Amom.
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.
Pelo qual agora não se apartará jamais de tua casa a espada; porquanto me menosprezaste, e tomaste a mulher de Urias Heteu para que fosse tua 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 disse o SENHOR: Eis que eu levantarei sobre ti o mal de tua mesma casa, e tomarei tuas mulheres diante de teus olhos, e as darei a teu próximo, o qual se deitará com tuas mulheres à vista deste 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 secreto; mas eu farei isto diante de todo Israel, e diante do 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 Davi a Natã: Pequei contra o SENHOR. E Natã disse a Davi: Também o SENHOR removeu 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.
Mas porquanto com este negócio fizeste blasfemar aos inimigos do SENHOR, o filho que te nasceu morrerá certamente.
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
E Natã se voltou à sua casa. E o SENHOR feriu ao menino que a mulher de Urias havia dado à luz a Davi, e o fez ficar gravemente doente.
16 David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground.
Então rogou Davi a Deus pelo menino; e jejuou Davi, recolheu-se, e passou a noite deitado em 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.
E levantando-se os anciãos de sua casa foram a ele para fazê-lo levantar da terra; mas ele não quis, nem comeu com eles pão.
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 ao sétimo dia morreu o menino; mas seus servos não ousavam fazer-lhe saber que o menino era morto, dizendo entre si: Quando o menino ainda vivia, lhe falávamos, e não queria ouvir nossa voz: pois quanto mais mal lhe fará, se lhe dissermos que o menino está morto?
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.
Mas Davi vendo a seus servos falar entre si, entendeu que o menino era morto; pelo que disse Davi a seus servos: É morto o menino? E eles responderam: Morto é.
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 Davi se levantou da terra, e lavou-se e ungiu-se, e mudou suas roupas, e entrou à casa do SENHOR, e adorou. E depois veio à sua casa, e mandou, e puseram-lhe 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? Pelo menino, vivendo ainda, jejuavas e choravas; e ele morto, levantaste-te 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 ele respondeu: Vivendo ainda o menino, eu jejuava e chorava, dizendo: Quem sabe se Deus terá compaixão de mim, por maneira que viva o menino?
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.
Mas agora que já é morto, para que tenho de jejuar? Poderei eu fazer-lhe voltar? Eu vou a ele, mas ele não voltará a 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,
E consolou Davi a Bate-Seba sua mulher, e entrando a ela, dormiu com ela; e deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Salomão, ao qual o SENHOR amou:
25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet. And he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake.
Que enviou por meio de Natã profeta, e chamou seu nome Jedidias, por causa do SENHOR.
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took the royal city.
E Joabe lutava contra Rabá dos filhos de Amom, 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 enviou Joabe mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: Eu lutei contra Rabá, e 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.
Junta, pois, agora o povo que resta, e assenta acampamento contra a cidade, e toma-a; porque tomando eu a cidade, não se chame de meu nome.
29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
E juntando Davi todo aquele povo foi contra Rabá, e combateu-a, e tomou-a.
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 tomou a coroa de seu rei de sua cabeça, a qual pesava um talento de ouro, e tinha pedras preciosas; e foi posta sobre a cabeça de Davi. E trouxe muito grande despojo da cidade.
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.
Tirou também o povo que estava nela, e o pôs ao trabalho de serras, e de trilhos de ferro, e de machados de ferro; e os fez passar por fornos de tijolos: e o mesmo fez a todas as cidades dos filhos de Amom. Voltou-se logo Davi com todo o povo a Jerusalém.
