2 Samuel 21
1 In the days of David they were short of food for three years, year after year; and David went before the Lord for directions. And the Lord said, On Saul and on his family there is blood, because he put the Gibeonites to death.
E houve em dias de David uma fome de três anos, de ano em ano; e David consultou ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe disse: É por causa de Saul e da sua casa sanguinária, porque matou os gibeonitas.
2 Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives: )
Então chamou o rei aos gibeonitas, e lhes falou (ora os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas do resto dos amorreus, e os filhos de Israel lhes tinham jurado, porém Saul procurou feri-los no seu zelo à causa dos filhos de Israel e de Judah).
3 So David said to the Gibeonites, What may I do for you? how am I to make up to you for your wrongs, so that you may give a blessing to the heritage of the Lord?
Disse pois David aos gibeonitas: Que quereis que eu vos faça? e que satisfação vos darei, para que abençoeis a herança do Senhor?
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, It is not a question of silver and gold between us and Saul or his family; and it is not in our power to put to death any man in Israel. And he said, Say, then, what am I to do for you?
Então os gibeonitas lhe disseram: Não é por prata nem ouro que temos questão com Saul e com sua casa; nem tão pouco pretendemos matar pessoa alguma em Israel. E disse ele: Que é pois que quereis que vos faça?
5 And they said to the king, As for the man by whom we were wasted, and who made designs against us to have us completely cut off from the land of Israel,
E disseram ao rei: O homem que nos destruiu, e intentou contra nós que fossemos assolados, sem que podessemos subsistir em termo algum de Israel,
6 Let seven men of his family be given up to us and we will put an end to them by hanging them before the Lord in Gibeon, on the hill of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
De seus filhos se nos dêem sete homens, para que os enforquemos ao Senhor em Gibeah de Saul, o eleito do Senhor. E disse o rei: Eu os darei.
7 But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
Porém o rei poupou a Mephiboseth, filho de Jonathan, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento do Senhor, que entre eles houvera, entre David e Jonathan, filho de Saul.
8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
Porém tomou o rei os dois filhos de Rispa, filha de Aia, que tinha parido a Saul, a saber a Armoni e a Mephiboseth; como também os cinco filhos da irmã de Michal, filha de Saul, que parira a Adriel, filho de Barzillai, meholathita.
9 And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.
E os entregou na mão dos gibeonitas, os quais os enforcaram no monte, perante o Senhor; e cairam estes sete juntamente: e foram mortos nos dias da sega, nos dias primeiros, no princípio da sega das cevadas.
10 And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night.
Então Rispa, filha de Aia, tomou um pano de cilício, e estendeu-lho sobre uma penha, desde o princípio da sega, até que destilou a água sobre eles do céu: e não deixou as aves do céu pousar sobre eles de dia, nem os animais do campo de noite.
11 And news was given to David of what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, one of Saul's wives, had done.
E foi dito a David o que fizera Rispa, filha de Aia, concubina de Saul.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them away secretly from the public place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had put them, hanging up the bodies there on the day when they put Saul to death in Gilboa:
Então foi David, e tomou os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho, dos moradores de Jabéz-gilead, os quais os furtaram da rua de Beth-san, onde os philisteus os tinham pendurado, quando os philisteus feriram a Saul em Gilboa.
13 And he took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from that place; and they got together the bones of those who had been put to death by hanging.
E fez subir dali os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho: e ajuntaram também os ossos dos enforcados.
14 And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do. And after that, God gave ear to their prayers for the land.
Enterraram os ossos de Saul, e de Jonathan seu filho na terra de Benjamin, em Zela, na sepultura de seu pai Kis, e fizeram tudo o que o rei ordenara; e depois disto Deus se aplacou com a terra.
15 And the Philistines went to war again with Israel; and David went down with his people, and while they were at Gob they had a fight with the Philistines:
Tiveram mais os philisteus uma peleja contra Israel: e desceu David, e com ele os seus servos: e tanto pelejaram contra os philisteus, que David se cançou.
16 And there came against David one of the offspring of the Rephaim, whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, and having a new sword, he made an attempt to put David to death.
E Isbi-benob, que era dos filhos do gigante, e o peso de cuja lança tinha trezentos siclos de peso de cobre, e que cingia uma espada nova, este intentou ferir a David.
17 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.
Porém Abisai, filho de Zeruia, o socorreu, e feriu o philisteu, e o matou: então os homens de David lhe juraram, dizendo: Nunca mais sairás conosco à peleja, para que não apagues a lâmpada de Israel.
18 Now after this there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Saph, one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
E aconteceu depois disto que houve em Gob ainda outra peleja contra os philisteus: então Sibbechai, o husatita, feriu a Saph, que era dos filhos do gigante.
19 And again there was war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan, the son of Jair the Beth-lehemite, put to death Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.
Houve mais outra peleja contra os philisteus em Gob: e El-hanan, filho de Jaaré-oregim, o beth-lehemita feriu Goliath, o getheu, de cuja lança era a haste como órgão de tecelão.
20 And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
Houve ainda também outra peleja em Gath, onde estava um homem de Alta estatura, que tinha em cada mão seis dedos, e em cada pé outros seis, vinte e quatro por todos, e também este nascera do gigante.
21 And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death.
E injuriava a Israel: porém Jonathan, filho de Simea, irmão de David, o feriu.
22 These four were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; and they came to their end by the hands of David and his servants.
Estes quatro nasceram ao gigante em Gath: e cairam pela mão de David e pela mão de seus servos.
