Kings II 15
1 And it came to pass after this that Abessalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Aconteceu depois disto, que Absalão se fez de carros e cavalos, e cinquenta que corressem diante dele.
2 And Abessalom rose early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every man who had a cause, came to the king for judgement, and Abessalom cried to him, and said to him, Of what city are you? And he said, Your servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.
E levantava-se Absalão de manhã, e punha-se a um lado do caminho da porta; e a qualquer um que tinha pleito e vinha ao rei a juízo, Absalão lhe chamava a si, e dizia-lhe: De que cidade és? E ele respondia: Teu servo é de uma das tribos de Israel.
3 And Abessalom said to him, See, your affairs [are] right and clear, yet you have no one [appointed] of the king to hear you.
Então Absalão lhe dizia: Olha que tuas palavras são boas e justas: mas não tens quem te ouça pelo rei.
4 And Abessalom said, O that one would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a cause would come to me, and I would judge him!
E dizia Absalão: Quem me dera se eu fosse constituído juiz na terra, para que viessem a mim todos os que têm pleito ou negócio, que eu lhes faria justiça!
5 And it came to pass when a man came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
E acontecia que, quando alguém se chegava para inclinar-se a ele, ele estendia sua mão, e o tomava, e o beijava.
6 And Abessalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgement; and Abessalom gained the hearts of the men of Israel.
E desta maneira fazia com todo Israel que vinha ao rei a juízo: e assim roubava Absalão o coração dos de Israel.
7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Abessalom said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows, which I vowed to the Lord in Chebron.
E ao fim de quarenta anos aconteceu que Absalão disse ao rei: Eu te rogo me permitas que vá a Hebrom, a pagar meu voto que ei prometido ao SENHOR:
8 For your servant vowed a vow when I lived at Gedsur in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord.
Porque teu servo fez voto quando estava em Gesur em Síria, dizendo: Se o SENHOR me voltar a Jerusalém, eu servirei ao SENHOR.
9 And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he arose and went to Chebron.
E o rei disse: Vai em paz. E ele se levantou, e se foi a Hebrom.
10 And Abessalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When you hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall you say, Abessalom is become king in Chebron.
Porém enviou Absalão espias por todas as tribos de Israel, dizendo: Quando ouvirdes o som da trombeta, direis: Absalão reina em Hebrom.
11 And there went with Abessalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything.
E foram com Absalão duzentos homens de Jerusalém por ele convidados, os quais iam em sua ingenuidade, sem saber nada.
12 And Abessalom sent to Achitophel the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Abessalom were increasingly numerous.
Também enviou Absalão por Aitofel gilonita, do conselho de Davi, a Gilo sua cidade, enquanto fazia seus sacrifícios. E a conspiração veio a ser grande, pois se ia aumentando o povo com Absalão.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom.
E veio o aviso a Davi, dizendo: O coração de todo Israel segue Absalão.
14 And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Abessalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.
Então Davi disse a todos os seus servos que estavam com ele em Jerusalém: Levantai-vos, e fujamos, porque não poderemos escapar diante de Absalão; apressai-vos a partir, não seja que se apressando ele nos alcance, e lance o mal sobre nós, e fira a cidade a fio de espada.
15 And the king's servants said to the king, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold [we are] your servants.
E os servos do rei disseram ao rei: Eis que, teus servos estão prontos a tudo que nosso senhor, o rei, decidir fazer.
16 And the king and all his house went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his concubines to keep the house.
O rei então saiu, com toda sua família depois dele. E deixou o rei dez mulheres concubinas para que guardassem a casa.
17 And the king and all his servants went out on foot; and abode in a distant house.
Saiu pois o rei com todo o povo que lhe seguia, e pararam-se em um lugar distante.
18 And all his servants passed on by his side, and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and they stood by the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him, and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out of Geth, and they went on before the king.
E todos os seus servos passavam a seu lado, com todos os quereteus e peleteus; e todos os giteus, seiscentos homens que haviam vindo a pé desde Gate, iam diante do rei.
19 And the king said to Ethi, the Gittite, Why do you also go with us? return, and dwell with the king, for you are a stranger, and you has come forth as a sojourner out of your place.
E disse o rei a Itai giteu: Para que vens tu também conosco? Volta, e fica com o rei; porque tu és estrangeiro, e desterrado também de teu lugar.
20 Whereas you came yesterday, shall I today cause you to travel with us, and shall you [thus] change your place? you did come forth yesterday, and today shall I set you in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go wherever I may go: return then, and cause your brethren to return with you, and may the Lord deal mercifully and truly with you.
Ontem vieste, e tenho-te de fazer hoje que mudes lugar para ir conosco? Eu vou como vou: tu volta, e faze voltar a teus irmãos: em ti haja misericórdia e verdade.
21 And Ethi answered the king and said, [As] the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place wherever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there shall your servant be.
E respondeu Itai ao rei, dizendo: Vive Deus, e vive meu senhor o rei, que, ou para morte ou para vida, de onde meu senhor o rei estiver, ali estará também teu servo.
22 And the king said to Ethi, Come and pass over with me. So Ethi the Gittite and the king passed over, and all his servants, and all the multitude with him.
Então Davi disse a Itai: Vem, pois, e passa. E passou Itai giteu, e todos os seus homens, e toda sua família.
23 And all the country wept with a loud voice. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kedron; and the king crossed the brook Kedron: and all the people and the king passed on towards the way of the wilderness.
E toda aquela terra chorou em alta voz; passou, logo, toda a gente o ribeiro de Cedrom; também passou o rei, e todo aquele povo passou, ao caminho que vai ao deserto.
24 And behold also Sadoc, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Baethar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed out of the city.
E eis que, também ia Zadoque, e com ele todos os levitas que levavam a arca do pacto de Deus; e assentaram a arca do pacto de Deus. E subiu Abiatar depois que acabou de sair da cidade todo aquele povo.
25 And the king said to Sadoc, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favour in the eyes of the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will show me it and its beauty.
Porém disse o rei a Zadoque: Volta a arca de Deus à cidade; que se eu achar favor aos olhos do SENHOR, ele me voltará, e me fará ver a ela e a seu tabernáculo:
26 But if he should say thus, I have no pleasure in you; behold, [here] I am, let him do to me according to that which is good in his eyes.
E se disser: Não me agradas: aqui estou, faça de mim o que bem lhe parecer.
27 And the king said to Sadoc the priest, Behold, you shall return to the city in peace, and Achimaas your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
Disse ainda o rei a Zadoque sacerdote: Não és tu vidente? Volta-te em paz à cidade; e convosco vossos dois filhos, teu filho Aimaás, e Jônatas filho de Abiatar.
28 Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me.
Olhai que eu me deterei nos campos do deserto, até que venha resposta de vós que me dê aviso.
29 So Sadoc and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued there.
Então Zadoque e Abiatar trouxeram de volta a arca de Deus a Jerusalém; e estiveram ali.
30 And David went up by the ascent of [the mount of] Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered [every] man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping.
E Davi subiu o monte das Oliveiras; e subiu chorando, levando a cabeça coberta, e os pés descalços. Também todo aquele povo que tinha consigo cobriu cada um sua cabeça, e subiram chorando assim como subiam.
31 And it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also [is] amongst the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray you, the counsel of Achitophel.
E deram aviso a Davi, dizendo: Aitofel está entre os que conspiraram com Absalão. Então disse Davi: Torna loucura agora, ó SENHOR, o conselho de Aitofel.
32 And David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having tore his garment, and earth [was] upon his head.
E quando Davi chegou ao cume do monte para adorar ali a Deus, eis que Husai arquita que lhe saiu ao encontro, trazendo rasgada sua roupa, e terra sobre sua cabeça.
33 And David said to him, If you should go over with me, then will you be a burden to me;
E disse-lhe Davi: Se passares comigo, tu me serás prejudicial;
34 but if you shall return to the city, and shall say to Abessalom, Your brethren are passed over, and the king your father is passed over after me: and now I am your servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of your father, and now I [am] your humble servant—so shall you disconcert for me, the counsel of Achitophel.
Mas se voltares à cidade, e disseres a Absalão: Rei, eu serei teu servo; como até aqui fui servo de teu pai, assim serei agora servo teu, então tu me dissiparás o conselho de Aitofel.
35 And, behold, [there are] there with you Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that you shall hear of the house of the king, you shall report it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests.
Não estarão ali contigo Zadoque e Abiatar sacerdotes? Portanto, tudo o que ouvires na casa do rei, darás aviso disso a Zadoque e a Abiatar sacerdotes.
36 Behold, [there are] there with them their two sons, Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar; and by them you shall report to me every word which you shall hear.
E eis que estão com eles seus dois filhos, Aimaás o de Zadoque, e Jônatas o de Abiatar; por meio deles me enviareis aviso de tudo o que ouvirdes.
37 So Chusi the friend of David went into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem.
Assim se veio Husai amigo de Davi à cidade; e Absalão entrou em Jerusalém.
