2 Samuel 17
1 And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night.
Disse mais Achitophel a Absalão: Deixa-me escolher doze mil homens, e me levantarei, e seguirei após David esta noite.
2 And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone.
E virei sobre elle, pois está cançado e frouxo das mãos: e o espantarei, e fugirá todo o povo que está com elle; e então ferirei o rei só.
3 And I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace.
E farei tornar a ti todo o povo; pois o homem a quem tu buscas é como se tornassem todos; assim todo o povo estará em paz.
4 And his saying pleased Absalom, and all the ancients of Israel.
E esta palavra pareceu boa aos olhos de Absalão, e aos olhos de todos os anciãos de Israel.
5 But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith.
Disse porém Absalão: Chamae agora tambem a Husai o archita: e ouçamos tambem o que elle dirá.
6 And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do it or not? what counsel dost thou give?
E, chegando Husai a Absalão, lhe fallou Absalão, dizendo: D'esta maneira fallou Achitophel: faremos conforme á sua palavra? Se não, falla tu.
7 And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good.
Então dise Husai a Absalão: O conselho que Achitophel esta vez aconselhou não é bom
8 And again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people.
Disse mais Husai: Bem conheces tu a teu pae, e a seus homens, que são valorosos, e que estão com o espirito amargurado, como a ursa no campo, roubada dos cachorros: e tambem teu pae é homem de guerra, e não passará a noite com o povo
9 Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he list: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom.
Eis que agora estará escondido n'alguma cova, ou em qualquer outro logar: e será que, caindo no principio alguns d'entre elles, cada um que o ouvir então dirá: Houve derrota no povo que segue a Absalão.
10 And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant.
Então até o homem valente, cujo coração é como coração de leão, sem duvida desmaiará; porque todo o Israel sabe que teu pae é valoroso, e homens valentes os que estão com elle.
11 But this seemeth to me to be good counsel: Let all Israel be gathered to thee, from Dan to Bersabee, as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered: and thou shalt be in the midst of them.
Eu porém aconselho que com toda a pressa se ajunte a ti todo o Israel desde Dan até Ber-seba, em multidão como a areia do mar: e tu em pessoa vás com elle á peleja.
12 And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one.
Então viremos a elle, em qualquer logar que se achar, e facilmente viremos sobre elle, como o orvalho cae sobre a terra: e não ficará d'elle e de todos os homens que estão com elle nem ainda um só.
13 And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof.
E, se elle se retirar para alguma cidade, todo o Israel trará cordas áquella cidade: e arrastal-a-hemos até ao ribeiro, até que não se ache ali nem uma só pedrinha.
14 And Absalom, and all the men of Israel said: The counsel of Chusai the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel: and by the will of the Lord the profitable counsel of Achitophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.
Então disse Absalão e todos os homens d'Israel: Melhor é o conselho de Husai, o archita, do que o conselho d'Achitophel (porém assim o Senhor o ordenara, para aniquilar o bom conselho d'Achitophel, para que o Senhor trouxesse o mal sobre Absalão).
15 And Chusai said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests: Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Absalom, and the ancients of Israel: and thus and thus did I counsel them.
E disse Husai a Zadok e a Abiathar, sacerdotes: Assim e assim aconselhou Achitophel a Absalão e aos anciãos d'Israel; porém assim e assim aconselhei eu
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him.
Agora, pois, enviae apressadamente, e avisae a David, dizendo: Não passes esta noite nas campinas do deserto, e logo tambem passa á outra banda, para que o rei e todo o povo que com elle está não seja devorado.
17 And Jonathan and Achimaas stayed by the fountain Rogel: and there went a maid and told them: and they went forward, to carry the message to king David, for they might not be seen, nor enter into the city.
Estavam pois Jonathan e Ahimaas junto á fonte de Rogel: e foi uma creada, e lh'o disse, e elles foram, e o disseram ao rei David, porque não podiam ser vistos entrar na cidade,
18 But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
Mas viu-os todavia um moço, e avisou a Absalão; porém ambos logo partiram apressadamente, e entraram em casa de um homem, em Bahurim, o qual tinha um poço no seu pateo, e ali dentro desceram.
19 And a woman took, and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as it were to dry sodden barley: and so the thing was not known.
E tomou a mulher a tampa, e a estendeu sobre a bocca do poço, e espalhou grão descascado sobre ella: assim nada se soube.
20 And when Absalom’s servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem.
Chegando pois os servos de Absalão á mulher, áquella casa, disseram: Onde estão Ahimaas e Jonathan? E a mulher lhes disse: Já passaram o váo das aguas. E, havendo-os buscado, e não os achando, voltaram para Jerusalem.
21 And when they were gone, they came up out of the well, and going on told king David, and said: Arise, and pass quickly over the river: for this manner of counsel has Achitophel given against you.
E succedeu que, depois que se foram, sairam do poço, e foram, e annunciaram a David; e disseram a David: Levantae-vos, e passae depressa as aguas, porque assim aconselhou contra vós Achitophel.
22 So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone over the river.
Então David e todo o povo que com elle estava se levantou, e passaram o Jordão: e já pela luz da manhã nem ainda faltava um só que não passasse o Jordão.
23 But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Vendo pois Achitophel que se não tinha seguido o seu conselho, albardou o jumento, e levantou-se, e foi para sua casa e para a sua cidade, e deu ordem a sua casa, e se enforcou: e morreu, e foi sepultado na sepultura de seu pae.
24 But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, be and all the men of Israel with him.
E David veiu a Mahanaim; e Absalão passou o Jordão, elle e todo o homem d'Israel com elle,
25 Now Absalom appointed Amasa in Joab’s stead over the army: and Amasa was the son of a man who was called Jethra of Jezrael, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Naas, the sister of Sarvia who was the mother of Joab.
E Absalão constituiu a Amasa em logar de Joab sobre o arraial: e era Amasa filho de um homem cujo nome era Jethra, o israelita, o qual entrara a Abigal, filha de Nahas, irmã de Zeruia, mãe de Joab.
26 And Israel camped with Absalom in the land of Galaad.
Israel, pois, e Absalão acamparam na terra de Gilead.
27 And when David was come to the camp, Sobi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammihel of Lodabar, and Berzellai the Galaadite of Rogelim,
E succedeu que, chegando David a Mahanaim, Sobi, filho de Nahas, de Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e Machir, filho de Ammiel, de Lo-debar, e Barzillai, o gileadita, de Rogelim,
28 Brought him beds, and tapestry, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and fried pulse,
Tomaram camas e bacias, e vasilhas de barro, e trigo, e cevada, e farinha, e grão torrado, e favas, e lentilhas, tambem torradas,
29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness.
E mel, e manteiga, e ovelhas, e queijos de vaccas, e os trouxeram a David e ao povo que com elle estava, para comerem, porque disseram: Este povo no deserto está faminto, e cançado, e sedento.
