2 Samuel 11
1 Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.
E aconteceu que, tendo decorrido um anno, no tempo em que os reis saem, enviou David a Joab, e a seus servos com elle, e a todo o Israel, para que destruissem os filhos de Ammon, e cercassem a Rabba; porém David ficou em Jerusalem.
2 Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.
E aconteceu á hora da tarde que David se levantou do seu leito, e andava passeando no terraço da casa real, e viu do terraço a uma mulher que se estava lavando: e era esta mulher mui formosa á vista.
3 And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?
E enviou David, e perguntou por aquella mulher: e disseram: Porventura não é esta Bathseba, filha d'Eliam, mulher de Urias, o hetheo?
4 And David sent and took her; and she came to him, and he took her to his bed: (for she had been made clean; ) then she went back to her house.
Então enviou David mensageiros, e a mandou trazer; e, entrando ella a elle, se deitou com ella (e já ella se tinha purificado da sua immundicia): então voltou ella para sua casa.
5 And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.
E a mulher concebeu; e enviou, e fel-o saber a David, e disse: Prenhe estou.
6 And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
Então enviou David a Joab, dizendo: Envia-me Urias o hetheo. E Joab enviou Urias a David.
7 And when Uriah came to him, David put questions to him about how Joab and the people were, and how the war was going.
Vindo pois Urias a elle, perguntou David como ficava Joab, e como ficava o povo, e como ia a guerra.
8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and let your feet be washed. And Uriah went away from the king's house, and an offering from the king was sent after him.
Depois disse David a Urias: Desce a tua casa, e lava os teus pés. E, saindo Urias da casa real, logo saiu atraz d'elle iguaria do rei.
9 But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
Porém Urias se deitou á porta da casa real, com todos os servos do seu senhor: e não desceu á sua casa.
10 And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?
E o fizeram saber a David, dizendo: Urias não desceu a sua casa. Então disse David a Urias: Não vens tu d'uma jornada? Porque não desceste a tua casa?
11 And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing.
E disse Urias a David: A arca, e Israel, e Judah ficam em tendas; e Joab meu senhor e os servos de meu senhor estão acampados no campo; e hei de eu entrar na minha casa, para comer e beber, e para me deitar com minha mulher? Pela tua vida, e pela vida da tua alma, não farei tal coisa.
12 And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.
Então disse David a Urias: Fica cá ainda hoje, e ámanhã te despedirei. Urias pois ficou em Jerusalem aquelle dia e o seguinte.
13 And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
E David o convidou, e comeu e bebeu diante d'elle, e o embebedou: e á tarde saiu a deitar-se na sua cama como os servos de seu senhor; porém não desceu a sua casa.
14 Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab.
E succedeu que pela manhã David escreveu uma carta a Joab: e mandou-lh'a por mão de Urias.
15 And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death.
Escreveu na carta, dizendo: Ponde a Urias na frente da maior força da peleja; e retirae-vos de detraz d'elle, para que seja ferido e morra.
16 So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.
Aconteceu, pois, que, tendo Joab observado bem a cidade, poz a Urias no logar onde sabia que havia homens valentes.
17 And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.
E, saindo os homens da cidade, e pelejando com Joab, cairam alguns do povo, dos servos de David: e morreu tambem Urias, o hetheo.
18 Then Joab sent David news of everything which had taken place in the war:
Então enviou Joab, e fez saber a David todo o successo d'aquella peleja.
19 And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,
E deu ordem ao mensageiro, dizendo: Acabando tu de contar ao rei todo o successo d'esta peleja;
20 If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?
E succedendo que o rei se encolerize, e te diga: Porque vos chegastes tão perto da cidade a pelejar? Não sabieis vós que haviam de atirar do muro?
21 Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.
Quem feriu a Abimelech, filho de Jerubbeseth? Não lançou uma mulher sobre elle do muro um pedaço d'uma mó corredora, de que morreu em Thebes? Porque vos chegastes ao muro? Então dirás: Tambem morreu teu servo Urias, o hetheo.
22 So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?
E foi o mensageiro, e entrou, e fez saber a David tudo, porque Joab o enviara dizer.
23 And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.
E disse o mensageiro a David: Na verdade que mais poderosos foram aquelles homens do que nós, e sairam a nós ao campo; porém nós fomos contra elles, até á entrada da porta
24 And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.
Então os frecheiros atiraram contra os teus servos desde o alto do muro, e morreram alguns dos servos do rei: e tambem morreu o teu servo Urias, o hetheo.
25 Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.
E disse David ao mensageiro: Assim dirás a Joab: Não te pareça isto mal aos teus olhos; pois a espada tanto consome este como aquelle: esforça a tua peleja contra a cidade, e a derrota: esforça-o tu assim.
26 And when the wife of Uriah had news that her husband was dead, she gave herself up to weeping for him.
Ouvindo pois a mulher de Urias que Urias seu marido era morto, lamentou a seu senhor.
27 And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.
E, passado o nojo, enviou David, e a recolheu em sua casa, e lhe foi por mulher, e pariu-lhe um filho. Porém esta coisa que David fez pareceu mal aos olhos do Senhor.
