2 Samuel 12
1 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And when he had come to him, he said to him: “Two men were in one city: one wealthy, 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 wealthy man had very many sheep and oxen.
O rico tinha numerosas ovelhas e vacas:
3 But the poor man had nothing at all, except one little sheep, which he had bought and nourished. And she had grown up before him, together with his children, eating from his bread, and drinking from his cup, and sleeping in his bosom. And she was like a daughter to him.
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 But when a certain traveler had come to the wealthy man, neglecting to take from his own sheep and oxen, so that he might present a feast for that traveler, who had come to him, he took the sheep of the poor man, and he prepared a meal for the man who had come 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 Then David’s indignation was enraged exceedingly against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this is a son of death.
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 He shall restore the sheep fourfold, because he did this word, and he did not take pity.”
E que ele deve pagar a cordeira com quatro tantos, porque fez esta tal coisa, e não teve misericórdia.
7 But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued you from 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 the house of your lord to you, and the wives of your lord into your bosom. And I gave the house of Israel and of Judah to you. And as if these things were small, I shall add much greater things to you.
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 Therefore, why have you despised the word of the Lord, so that you did evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword. And you have taken his wife as a wife for yourself. And you have put him to death 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 For this reason, the sword shall not withdraw from your house, even perpetually, because you have despised me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, so that she may be your 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 And so, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up over you an evil from your own house. And I will take your wives away before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor. And he will sleep with your 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 you acted secretly. But I will do this word in the sight of all of Israel, and in the sight of 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 the Lord.” And Nathan said to David: “The Lord has also taken away your sin. You 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 Yet truly, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, because of this word, the son who was born to you: dying he shall die.”
Mas porquanto com este negócio fizeste blasfemar aos inimigos do SENHOR, o filho que te nasceu morrerá certamente.
15 And Nathan returned to his own house. And the Lord struck the little one, whom the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he was despaired of.
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 And David begged the Lord on behalf of the little one. And David fasted strictly, and entering alone, he lay upon the ground.
Então rogou Davi a Deus pelo menino; e jejuou Davi, recolheu-se, e passou a noite deitado em terra.
17 Then the elders of his house came, urging him to rise up from the ground. And he was not willing, nor would he eat a meal 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 Then, on the seventh day, it happened that the infant died. And the servants of David were afraid to report to him that the little one had died. For they said: “Behold, when the child was still alive, we were speaking to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How much more will he afflict himself, if we tell him that the boy 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 had seen his servants whispering, he realized that the infant had died. And he said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they responded to him, “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 Therefore, David rose up from the ground. And he washed and anointed himself. And when he had changed his clothing, he entered the house of the Lord, and he worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked them to place 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 But his servants said to him: “What is this word that you have done? You fasted and were weeping, on behalf of the infant, while he was still alive. But when the boy was dead, you 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 he was yet alive, I fasted and wept on behalf of the infant. For I said: Who knows if the Lord may perhaps give him to me, and let the infant 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 that he is dead, why should I fast? Would I be able to bring him back anymore? Instead, I will go to him. Yet truly, 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 consoled his wife Bathsheba. And entering to her, he slept with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord 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, Beloved of the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
Que enviou por meio de Natã profeta, e chamou seu nome Jedidias, por causa do SENHOR.
26 And then Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he fought outside the royal city.
E Joabe lutava contra Rabá dos filhos de Amom, e tomou a cidade real.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: “I have struggled against Rabbah, and so the City of Waters will soon be seized.
Então enviou Joabe mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: Eu lutei contra Rabá, e tomei a cidade das águas.
28 Now therefore, gather the remaining portion of the people together, and besiege the city and take it. Otherwise, when the city will have been laid waste by me, the victory will be ascribed to 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 so David gathered together all the people, and he set out against Rabbah. And after he had fought, he seized 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 his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.
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 Also, bringing forth its people, he sawed them, and he drove over them with iron wagons, and he divided them with knives, and he dragged them through brick kilns. So he did to all the citizens of the sons of Ammon. And David returned, with the entire army, 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.
