2 Samuel 12
1 And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, 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 rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.
O rico tinha numerosas ovelhas e vacas:
3 But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter.
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 And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man’s ewe, and dressed it for the man that was 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 And David’s anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child 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 ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.
E que ele deve pagar a cordeira com quatro tantos, porque fez esta tal coisa, e não teve misericórdia.
7 And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee 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 gave thee thy master’s house and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.
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 Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children 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 Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy 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 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy 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 thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all 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 also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt 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 Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely 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 house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life 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 besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.
Então rogou Davi a Deus pelo menino; e jejuou Davi, recolheu-se, e passou a noite deitado em terra.
17 And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat 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 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child 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 saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered 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 Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and 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 And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat 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 the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may 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? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall 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 comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: I 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 called his name, Amiable to 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 Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to 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 fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.
Então enviou Joabe mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: Eu lutei contra Rabá, e tomei a cidade das águas.
28 Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory 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 Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took 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 which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David’s head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away.
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 And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the 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.
