2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
Depois disto aconteceu que Davi consultou ao SENHOR, dizendo: Subirei a alguma das cidades de Judá? E o SENHOR lhe respondeu: Sobe. E Davi voltou a dizer: Para onde subirei? E ele lhe disse: A Hebrom.
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
E Davi subiu ali, e com ele suas duas mulheres, Ainoã jezreelita e Abigail, a que foi mulher de Nabal do Carmelo.
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
E levou também Davi consigo os homens que com ele haviam estado, cada um com sua família; os quais moraram nas cidades de Hebrom.
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul.
E vieram os homens de Judá, e ungiram ali a Davi por rei sobre a casa de Judá. E deram aviso a Davi, dizendo: Os de Jabes de Gileade são os que sepultaram a Saul.
5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!
E Davi enviou mensageiros aos de Jabes de Gileade, dizendo-lhes: Benditos sejais vós do SENHOR, que fizestes esta misericórdia com vosso senhor Saul em haver-lhe dado sepultura.
6 And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.
Agora, pois, o SENHOR faça convosco misericórdia e verdade; e eu também vos farei bem por isto que fizestes.
7 And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
Esforcem-se, pois agora vossas mãos, e sede valentes; pois que morto Saul vosso senhor, os da casa de Judá me ungiram por rei sobre eles.
8 And Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Mas Abner filho de Ner, general de exército de Saul, tomou a Is-Bosete filho de Saul, e o fez passar ao acampamento:
9 and made him king over Gilead, and over the Asshurites, and over Jizreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
E o constituiu rei sobre Gileade, Assuri, Jezreel, Efraim, Benjamim, e sobre todo Israel.
10 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. However, the house of Judah followed David.
De quarenta anos era Is-Bosete filho de Saul, quando começou a reinar sobre Israel; e reinou dois anos. Só a casa de Judá seguia a Davi.
11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
E foi o número dos dias que Davi reinou em Hebrom sobre a casa de Judá, sete anos e seis meses.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
E Abner filho de Ner saiu de Maanaim a Gibeão com os servos de Is-Bosete filho de Saul.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool.
E Joabe filho de Zeruia, e os servos de Davi, saíram e encontraram-nos junto ao tanque de Gibeão: e quando se juntaram, pararam-se os uns da uma parte do tanque, e os outros da outra.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
E disse Abner a Joabe: Levantem-se agora os rapazes, e lutem diante de nós. E Joabe respondeu: Levante-se.
15 And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Então se levantaram, e em número de doze, passaram de Benjamim da parte de Is-Bosete filho de Saul; e doze dos servos de Davi.
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
E cada um lançou mão da cabeça de seu companheiro, e meteu-lhe sua espada pelo lado, caindo assim de uma vez; pelo que foi chamado aquele lugar, Helcate-Hazurim, o qual está em Gibeão.
17 And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
E houve aquele dia uma batalha muito dura, e Abner e os homens de Israel foram vencidos pelos servos de Davi.
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field.
E estavam ali os três filhos de Zeruia: Joabe, e Abisai, e Asael. Este Asael era veloz de pés como um corço do campo.
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner.
O qual Asael seguiu a Abner, indo atrás dele sem desviar-se à direita nem à esquerda.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am.
E Abner olhou atrás, e disse: Não és tu Asael? E ele respondeu: Sim.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
Então Abner lhe disse: Aparta-te à direita ou à esquerda, e agarra-te algum dos rapazes, e toma para ti seus despojos. Porém Asael não quis desviar-se de detrás dele.
22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
E Abner voltou a dizer a Asael: Aparta-te de detrás de mim, porque te ferirei derrubando-te em terra, e depois como levantarei meu rosto a teu irmão Joabe?
23 But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
E não querendo ele ir-se, feriu-o Abner com a ponta da lança pela quinta costela, e saiu-lhe a lança pelas costas, e caiu ali, e morreu naquele mesmo lugar. E todos os que vinham por aquele lugar, de onde Asael havia caído e estava morto, paravam.
24 And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
Mas Joabe e Abisai seguiram a Abner; e o sol se pôs quando chegaram ao morro de Amá, que está diante de Gia, junto ao caminho do deserto de Gibeão.
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill.
E juntaram-se os filhos de Benjamim em um esquadrão com Abner, e pararam-se no cume do morro.
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
E Abner deu vozes a Joabe, dizendo: Consumirá a espada perpetuamente? Não sabes tu que ao fim se segue amargura? Até quando não dirás ao povo que deixem de perseguir a seus irmãos?
27 And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
E Joabe respondeu: Vive Deus que se não houvesses falado, já desde esta manhã o povo haveria deixado de perseguir a seus irmãos.
28 And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.
Então Joabe tocou o chifre, e todo aquele povo se deteve, e não seguiu mais aos de Israel, nem lutou mais.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
E Abner e os seus caminharam pela campina toda aquela noite, e passando o Jordão cruzaram por todo Bitrom, e chegaram a Maanaim.
30 And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
Joabe também deixou de perseguir a Abner, e juntando todo aquele povo, faltaram dos servos de Davi dezenove homens, e Asael.
31 And the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men, who had died.
Mas os servos de Davi feriram dos de Benjamim e dos de Abner, trezentos e sessenta homens, que morreram. Tomaram logo a Asael, e sepultaram-no no sepulcro de seu pai em Belém.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
E caminharam toda aquela noite Joabe e os seus, e amanheceu-lhes em Hebrom.
