2 Samuel 3
1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. And David grew stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
E houve uma longa guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de David: porém David se ia fortalecendo, mas os da casa de Saul se iam enfraquecendo.
2 And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
E a David nasceram filhos em Hebron: e foi o seu primogenito Amnon, de Achinoam a jizreelita;
3 and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
E seu segundo Chileab, de Abigail, mulher de Nabal, o carmelita; e o terceiro Absalão, filho de Maaka, filha de Talmai, rei de Gesur;
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith, and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital,
E o quarto Adonias, filho d'Haggith; e o quinto Sephatias, filho d'Abital;
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
E o sexto Jithream, d'Egla, tambem mulher de David: estes nasceram a David em Hebron.
6 And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong in the house of Saul.
E, havendo guerra entre a casa de Saul, e a casa de David, succedeu que Abner se esforçava na casa de Saul.
7 Now Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have thou gone in to my father's concubine?
E tinha tido Saul uma concubina, cujo nome era Rispa, filha de Aia: e disse Isboseth a Abner: Porque entraste á concubina de meu pae?
8 Then Abner was very angry for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? This day I show kindness to the house of Saul thy father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, and yet thou charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
Então se irou muito Abner pelas palavras de Isboseth, e disse: Sou eu cabeça de cão, que pertença a Judah? ainda hoje faço beneficencia á casa de Saul, teu pae, a seus irmãos, e a seus amigos, e te não entreguei nas mãos de David, e tu hoje buscas motivo para me arguires por respeito da maldade d'uma mulher.
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah has sworn to David, I do not even so to him,
Assim faça Deus a Abner, e outro tanto, que como o Senhor jurou a David assim lhe hei de fazer,
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.
Transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e levantando o throno de David sobre Israel, e sobre Judah, desde Dan até Berseba.
11 And he could not answer Abner another word because he feared him.
E nem ainda uma palavra podia responder a Abner: porque o temia.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? And saying, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee to bring about all Israel to thee.
Então ordenou Abner da sua parte mensageiros a David, dizendo: De quem é a terra? E disse: Comigo faze a tua alliança, e eis que a minha mão será comtigo, para tornar a ti todo o Israel.
13 And he said, Well! I will make a league with thee, but one thing I require of thee. That is, thou shall not see my face unless thou first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when thou come to see my face.
E disse David: Bem, eu farei comtigo alliança, porém uma coisa te peço, que é: não verás a minha face, se primeiro me não trouxeres a Michal, filha de Saul, quando vieres ver a minha face.
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying, Deliver to me my wife Michal whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Tambem enviou David mensageiros a Isboseth, filho de Saul, dizendo: Dá-me minha mulher Michal, que eu desposei comigo por cem prepucios de philisteos.
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish.
E enviou Isboseth, e a tirou a seu marido, a Phaltiel, filho de Lais.
16 And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, Go, return, and he returned.
E ia com ella seu marido, caminhando, e chorando detraz d'ella, até Baurim. Então lhe disse Abner: Vae-te agora, volta. E elle voltou.
17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, In times past ye sought for David to be king over you.
E praticava Abner com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Muito tempo ha que procuraveis que David reinasse sobre vós;
18 Now then do it, for Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
Fazei-o pois agora, porque o Senhor fallou a David, dizendo: Pela mão de David meu servo livrarei o meu povo das mãos dos philisteos e das mãos de todos os seus inimigos.
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin. And Abner also went to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
E fallou tambem Abner o mesmo aos ouvidos de Benjamin: e foi tambem Abner dizer aos ouvidos de David, em Hebron, tudo o que era bom aos olhos de Israel e aos olhos de toda a casa de Benjamin.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
E veiu Abner a David, a Hebron, e vinte homens com elle: e David fez um banquete a Abner e aos homens que com elle vinham.
21 And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou may reign over all that thy soul desires. And David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
Então disse Abner a David: Eu me levantarei, e irei, e ajuntarei ao rei meu senhor todo o Israel, para fazerem alliança comtigo; e tu reinarás sobre tudo o que desejar a tua alma. Assim despediu David a Abner, e foi-se elle em paz.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a foray, and brought in a great spoil with them, but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
E eis que os servos de David e Joab vieram d'uma sortida, e traziam comsigo grande despojo; e já Abner não estava com David em Hebron, porque o tinha despedido, e se tinha ido em paz.
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him came, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.
Chegando pois Joab, e todo o exercito que vinha com elle, deram aviso a Joab, dizendo: Abner, filho de Ner, veiu ao rei, e o despediu, e foi-se em paz.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What have thou done? Behold, Abner came to thee. Why is it that thou have sent him away, and he is quite gone?
Então Joab entrou ao rei, e disse: Que fizeste? eis que Abner veiu ter comtigo; porque pois o despediste, de maneira que se fosse assim livremente?
25 Thou know Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou do.
Bem conheces a Abner, filho de Ner, que te veiu enganar, e saber a tua saida e a tua entrada, e entender tudo quanto fazes.
26 And when Joab came out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah, but David knew it not.
E Joab, retirando-se de David, enviou mensageiros atraz d'Abner, e o fizeram voltar desde o poço de Sira, sem que David o soubesse.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Tornando pois Abner a Hebron, Joab o tirou á parte, á entrada da porta, para lhe fallar em segredo: e feriu-o ali pela quinta costella, e morreu, por causa do sangue de Asael seu irmão.
28 And afterward, when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
O que David depois ouvindo, disse: Innocente sou eu, e o meu reino, para com o Senhor, para sempre, do sangue d'Abner, filho de Ner.
29 Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house. And let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.
Fique-se sobre a cabeça de Joab e sobre toda a casa de seu pae, e nunca da casa de Joab falte quem tenha fluxo, nem quem seja leproso, nem quem se atenha a bordão, nem quem caia á espada, nem quem necessite de pão.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Joab pois e Abisai, seu irmão, mataram a Abner, por ter morto a Asael, seu irmão, na peleja em Gibeon.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.
Disse pois David a Joab, e a todo o povo que com elle estava: Rasgae os vossos vestidos; e cingi-vos de saccos e ide pranteando diante de Abner. E o rei David ia seguindo o feretro.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron. And the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
E, sepultando a Abner em Hebron, o rei levantou a sua voz, e chorou junto da sepultura de Abner; e chorou todo o povo.
33 And the king lamented for Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dies?
E o rei, pranteando a Abner, disse: Não morreu Abner como morre o vilão?
34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters. As a man falls before the sons of iniquity, so did thou fall. And all the people wept again over him.
As tuas mãos não estavam atadas, nem os teus pés carregados de grilhões de bronze, mas caiste como os que caem diante dos filhos da maldade! Então todo o povo chorou muito mais por elle
35 And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day, but David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, till the sun is down.
Então todo o povo veiu fazer que David comesse pão, sendo ainda dia, porém David jurou, dizendo: Assim Deus me faça, e outro tanto, se, antes que o sol se ponha, eu provar pão ou alguma coisa.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them, as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
O que todo o povo entendendo, pareceu bem aos seus olhos, assim como tudo quanto o rei fez pareceu bem aos olhos de todo o povo.
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
E todo o povo e todo o Israel entenderam n'aquelle mesmo dia que não procedera do rei que matassem a Abner, filho de Ner.
38 And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
Então disse o rei aos seus servos: Não sabeis que hoje caiu em Israel um principe e um grande?
39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king, and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. Jehovah reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.
Que eu ainda sou tenro, ainda que ungido rei; estes homens, filhos de Zeruia, são mais duros do que eu: o Senhor pagará ao malfeitor, conforme a sua maldade.
