2 Samuel 4
1 And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled.
Quando o filho de Saul soube que Abner estava morto em Hebron, suas mãos ficaram fracas, e todos os israelitas ficaram perturbados.
2 Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin.
O filho de Saul tinha dois homens que eram capitães de bandas de assalto. O nome de um era Baaná e o nome do outro Rechab, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim (pois Beerote também é considerado parte de Benjamim;
3 And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time.
e os Beerotitas fugiram para Gittaim, e viveram como estrangeiros até hoje).
4 And Jonathan the son of Saul bad a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.
Agora Jonathan, filho de Saul, tinha um filho que era coxo nos pés. Ele tinha cinco anos quando a notícia sobre Saul e Jonathan saiu de Jezreel; e sua enfermeira o pegou e fugiu. Quando ela se apressou a fugir, ele caiu e ficou coxo. Seu nome era Mephibosheth.
5 And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep.
Os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerothite, Rechab e Baanah, saíram e chegaram por volta do calor do dia à casa de Ishbosheth enquanto ele descansava ao meio-dia.
6 And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.
Eles chegaram lá no meio da casa como se tivessem buscado trigo, e o atingiram no corpo; e Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, escaparam.
7 For when they came into the house, be was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him: and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.
Agora quando entraram na casa enquanto ele estava deitado em sua cama em seu quarto, o atingiram, o mataram, o decapitaram e lhe tiraram a cabeça, e foram pelo caminho do Arabah a noite toda.
8 And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
Eles trouxeram a cabeça de Ishbosheth para David em Hebron, e disseram ao rei: “Eis a cabeça de Ishbosheth, o filho de Saul, seu inimigo, que procurava sua vida! Javé vingou hoje meu senhor, o rei de Saul e de sua descendência”.”
9 But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
David respondeu a Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotíco, e lhes disse: “Como Javé vive, que redimiu minha alma de toda adversidade,
10 The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news.
quando alguém me disse: 'Eis que Saul está morto', pensando que trazia boas novas, eu o agarrei e o matei em Ziklag, que foi a recompensa que lhe dei por suas notícias.
11 How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth?
Quanto mais, quando homens perversos mataram uma pessoa justa em sua própria casa, em sua cama, não deveria eu agora exigir seu sangue de sua mão, e livrar a terra de você”?
12 And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
David comandou seus jovens, e eles os mataram, cortaram suas mãos e seus pés, e os penduraram ao lado da piscina em Hebron. Mas eles pegaram a cabeça de Ishbosheth e a enterraram no túmulo de Abner em Hebron.
