< 2 Samuel 15 >

1 AND it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
E aconteceu depois d'isto que Absalão fez apparelhar carros e cavallos, e cincoenta homens que corressem adiante d'elle.
2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
Tambem Absalão se levantou pela manhã, e parava a uma banda do caminho da porta. E succedia que a todo o homem que tinha alguma demanda para vir ao rei a juizo, o chamava Absalão a si, e lhe dizia: De que cidade és tu? E, dizendo elle: D'uma das tribus d'Israel é teu servo;
3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
Então Absalão lhe dizia: Olha, os teus negocios são bons e rectos, porém não tens quem te ouça da parte do rei.
4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
Dizia mais Absalão: Ah, quem me dera ser juiz na terra! para que viesse a mim todo o homem que tivesse demanda ou questão, para que lhe fizesse justiça.
5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
Succedia tambem que, quando alguem se chegava a elle para se inclinar diante d'elle, elle estendia a sua mão, e pegava d'elle, e o beijava.
6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
E d'esta maneira fazia Absalão a todo o Israel que vinha ao rei para juizo: assim furtava Absalão o coração dos homens de Israel.
7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord, in Hebron.
Aconteceu, pois, ao cabo de quarenta annos, que Absalão disse ao rei: Deixa-me ir pagar em Hebron o meu voto que votei ao Senhor.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.
Porque, morando eu em Gesur, em Syria, votou o teu servo um voto, dizendo: Se o Senhor outra vez me fizer tornar a Jerusalem, servirei ao Senhor.
9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
Então lhe disse o rei: Vae em paz. Levantou-se, pois, e foi para Hebron.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
E enviou Absalão espias por todas as tribus d'Israel, dizendo: Quando ouvirdes o som das trombetas, direis: Absalão reina em Hebron.
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
E de Jerusalem foram com Absalão duzentos homens convidados, porém iam na sua simplicidade, porque nada sabiam d'aquelle negocio.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counseller, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Tambem Absalão enviou por Achitophel, o gilonita, do conselho de David, á sua cidade de Gilo, estando elle sacrificando os seus sacrificios: e a conjuração se fortificava, e vinha o povo, e se augmentava com Absalão.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
Então veiu um mensageiro a David, dizendo: O coração de cada um em Israel segue a Absalão.
14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
Disse pois David a todos os seus servos que estavam com elle em Jerusalem: Levantae-vos, e fujamos, porque não poderiamos escapar diante de Absalão. Dae-vos pressa a caminhar, para que porventura não se apresse elle, e nos alcance, e lance sobre nós algum mal, e fira a cidade a fio de espada.
15 And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
Então os servos do rei disseram ao rei: Eis aqui os teus servos, para tudo quanto determinar o rei, nosso senhor.
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
E saiu o rei, com toda a sua casa, a pé: deixou porém o rei dez mulheres concubinas, para guardarem a casa.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
Tendo pois saido o rei com todo o povo a pé, pararam n'um logar distante.
18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
E todos os seus servos iam a seu lado, como tambem todos os cheretheos e todos os peletheos: e todos os getheos, seiscentos homens que vieram de Gath a pé, caminhavam diante do rei.
19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
Disse pois o rei a Ittai, o getheo: Porque irias tu tambem comnosco? Volta, e fica-te com o rei, porque estranho és, e tambem te tornarás a teu logar.
20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
Hontem vieste, e te levaria eu hoje comnosco a caminhar? Pois força me é ir aonde quer que podér ir: volta, pois, e torna a levar teus irmãos comtigo, com beneficencia e fidelidade.
21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
Respondeu porém Ittai ao rei, e disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive o rei meu senhor, que no logar em que estiver o rei meu senhor, seja para morte seja para vida, ahi certamente estará tambem o teu servidor.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
Então David disse a Ittai: Vem pois, e passa adiante. Assim passou Ittai, o getheo, e todos os seus homens, e todas as creanças que havia com elle.
23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
E toda a terra chorava a grandes vozes, passando todo o povo: tambem o rei passou o ribeiro de Cedron, e passou todo o povo na direcção do caminho do deserto.
24 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
Eis que tambem Zadok ali estava, e com elle todos os levitas que levavam a arca do concerto de Deus; e pozeram ali a arca de Deus, e subiu Abiathar, até que todo o povo acabou de passar da cidade.
25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
Então disse o rei a Zadok: Torna a levar a arca de Deus á cidade; que, se achar graça nos olhos do Senhor, elle me tornará a trazer para lá, e me deixará vêr a ella e a sua habitação.
26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
Se porém disser assim: Não tenho prazer em ti; eis-me aqui, faça de mim como parecer bem aos seus olhos.
27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
Disse mais o rei a Zadok, o sacerdote: Não és tu porventura o vidente? torna pois em paz para a cidade, e comvosco tambem vossos dois filhos, Ahimaas, teu filho, e Jonathan, filho d'Abiathar.
28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
Olhae que me demorarei nas campinas do deserto até que tenha novas vossas.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
Zadok pois e Abiathar tornaram a levar para Jerusalem a arca de Deus: e ficaram ali.
30 And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
E subiu David pela subida das oliveiras, subindo e chorando, e com a cabeça coberta; e caminhava com os pés descalços: e todo o povo que ia com elle cobria cada um a sua cabeça, e subiam chorando sem cessar.
31 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
Então fizeram saber a David, dizendo: Tambem Achitophel está entre os que se conjuraram com Absalão. Pelo que disse David: Ó Senhor, enlouquece o conselho de Achitophel.
32 And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
E aconteceu, que chegando David ao cume, para adorar ali a Deus, eis que Husai, o archita, veiu encontrar-se com elle com o vestido rasgado e terra sobre a cabeça.
33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
E disse-lhe David: Se passares comigo, ser-me-has pesado.
34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
Porém se voltares para a cidade, e disseres a Absalão: Eu serei, ó rei, teu servo; bem fui d'antes servo de teu pae, mas agora serei teu servo: dissipar-me-has então o conselho de Achitophel.
35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
E não estão ali comtigo Zadok e Abiathar, sacerdotes? E será que todas as coisas que ouvires da casa do rei, farás saber a Zadok e a Abiathar, sacerdotes.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok’s son, and Jonathan Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
Eis que estão tambem ali com elles seus dois filhos, Ahimaas filho de Zadok, e Jonathan filho de Abiathar: pela mão d'elles aviso me mandareis pois de todas as coisas que ouvirdes.
37 So Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Husai pois, amigo de David, veiu para a cidade: e Absalão entrou em Jerusalem.
