2 Samuel 3
1 And the war lasted a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker and weaker.
E houve longa guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de Davi; mas Davi se ia fortificando, e a casa de Saul ia diminuindo.
2 And there were born unto David sons in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Achino'am the Yizre'elitess;
E nasceram filhos a Davi em Hebrom: seu primogênito foi Amom, de Ainoã jezreelita;
3 And his second was Kilab, of Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Abshalom, the son of Ma'achah the daughter of Talmai the king of Geshur;
Seu segundo Quileabe, de Abigail a mulher de Nabal, o do Carmelo; o terceiro, Absalão, filho de Maaca, filha de Talmai rei de Gesur:
4 And the fourth, Adoniyah, the son of Chaggith; and the fifth, Shephatyah, the son of Abital;
O quarto, Adonias filho de Hagite; o quinto, Sefatias filho de Abital;
5 And the sixth, Yithre'am, by 'Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
O sexto, Itreão, de Eglá mulher de Davi. Estes nasceram a Davi em Hebrom.
6 And it came to pass, while the war lasted between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner upheld with all his strength the house of Saul.
E quando havia guerra entre a casa de Saul e a de Davi, aconteceu que Abner se esforçava pela casa de Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Ayah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
E havia Saul tido uma concubina que se chamava Rispa, filha de Aiá. E disse Is-Bosete a Abner: Por que te deitaste com a concubina de meu pai?
8 And Abner became very wroth because of the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I the chief of the dogs which belong to Judah? unto this day have I shown kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me today with a wrong committed with this woman?
E irou-se Abner em grande maneira pelas palavras de Is-Bosete, e disse: Sou eu uma cabeça de cão pertencente a Judá? Eu fiz hoje misericórdia com a casa de Saul teu pai, com seus irmãos, e com seus amigos, e não te entreguei nas mãos de Davi; e tu me acusas de ter pecado acerca desta mulher?
9 May God do so to Abner, and continue to do yet more to him, that, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so will I surely do to him;
Assim faça Deus a Abner e assim lhe acrescente, se como o SENHOR jurou a Davi eu não fizer assim com ele,
10 To transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba'.
Transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e confirmando o trono de Davi sobre Israel e sobre Judá, desde Dã até Berseba.
11 And he could not answer Abner a word more in reply, because of his fear of him.
E ele não pode responder palavra a Abner, porque lhe temia.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also, ] Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.
E enviou Abner mensageiros a Davi de sua parte, dizendo: De quem é a terra? E que lhe dissessem: Faze aliança comigo, e eis que minha mão será contigo para virar a ti a todo Israel.
13 And he said, Well: I will indeed make a covenant with thee; but one thing I require of thee, namely, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
E Davi disse: Bem; eu farei contigo aliança: mas uma coisa te peço, e é, que não me venhas a ver sem que primeiro tragas a Mical a filha de Saul, quando vieres a ver-me.
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, saying, Give up to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Depois disto enviou Davi mensageiros a Is-Bosete filho de Saul, dizendo: Restitui-me a minha mulher Mical, a qual eu desposei comigo por cem prepúcios de filisteus.
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from the man, from Paltiel the son of Layish.
Então Is-Bosete enviou, e tirou-a de seu marido Paltiel, filho de Laís.
16 And her husband went with her going along and weeping behind her as far as Bachurim: when Abner said unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
E seu marido foi com ela, seguindo-a e chorando até Baurim. E disse-lhe Abner: Anda, volta-te. Então ele se voltou.
17 And Abner had used these words with the elders of Israel, saying, Already yesterday and even before ye have been desiring David as king over you:
E falou Abner com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Ontem e antes procuráveis que Davi fosse rei sobre vós;
18 And now do it; for the Lord hath said of David thus, By the hand of my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
Agora, pois, fazei-o; porque o SENHOR falou a Davi, dizendo: Pela mão de meu servo Davi livrarei a meu povo Israel da mão dos filisteus, e da mão de todos os seus inimigos.
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of the whole house of Benjamin.
E falou também Abner aos de Benjamim: e foi também Abner a Hebrom a dizer a Davi todo aquele parecer dos de Israel e de toda a casa de Benjamim.
20 And Abner came to David to Hebron, and with him were twenty men; and David made for Abner and for the men that were with him a feast.
Veio, pois, Abner a Davi em Hebrom, e com ele vinte homens: e Davi fez banquete a Abner e aos que com ele haviam vindo.
21 And Abner said unto David, I will now arise and go, and I will assemble unto my Lord the king all Israel, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul longeth for. And David dismissed Abner: and he went in peace.
E disse Abner a Davi: Eu me levantarei e irei, e juntarei a meu senhor o rei a todo Israel, para que façam contigo aliança, e tu reines como desejas. Davi despediu logo a Abner, e ele se foi em paz.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a predatory excursion, and brought in much booty with them; but Abner was no more with David in Hebron; for he had dismissed him, and he was gone in peace.
E eis que os servos de Davi e Joabe, que vinham do acampamento, e traziam consigo grande presa. Mas Abner não estava com Davi em Hebrom, que já o havia ele despedido, e ele se havia ido em paz.
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath dismissed him, and he is gone in peace.
E logo que chegou Joabe e todo aquele exército que com ele estava, foi dado aviso a Joabe, dizendo: Abner filho de Ner veio ao rei, e ele lhe despediu, e se foi em paz.
24 Then came Joab to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee: why is it that thou hast dismissed him, that he went freely away?
Então Joabe veio ao rei, e disse-lhe: Que fizeste? Eis que Abner veio a ti; por que pois o deixaste que se fosse?
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that to deceive thee did he come, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou art doing.
Sabes tu que Abner filho de Ner veio para enganar-te, e para saber tua saída e tua entrada, e por entender tudo o que tu fazes?
26 And Joab went out from David, and he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David knew it not.
E saindo Joabe da presença de Davi, enviou mensageiros atrás de Abner, os quais o fizeram voltar desde o poço de Sirá, sem que Davi soubesse.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him in private; and he smote him there under the fifth rib, and he died, for the blood of 'Asahel his brother.
E quando Abner voltou a Hebrom, apartou-o Joabe ao meio da porta, falando com ele brandamente, e ali lhe feriu pela quinta costela, por causa da morte de Asael seu irmão, e morreu.
28 And when David heard it afterward, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
Quando Davi soube depois isto, disse: Limpo estou eu e meu reino, pelo SENHOR, para sempre, do sangue de Abner filho de Ner.
29 May it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and may there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
Caia sobre a cabeça de Joabe, e sobre toda a casa de seu pai; que nunca falte da casa de Joabe quem padeça fluxo, nem leproso, nem quem ande com cajado, nem quem morra à espada, nem quem tenha falta de pão.
30 But Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother 'Asahel at Gib'on in the battle.
Então Joabe e Abisai seu irmão mataram a Abner, porque ele havia matado a Asael, irmão deles na batalha de Gibeão.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and [go] mourning before Abner. And king David walked behind the bier.
Então disse Davi a Joabe, e a todo aquele povo que com ele estava: Rompei vossas roupas, e cingi-vos de sacos, e fazei luto por causa de Abner. E o rei ia detrás do féretro.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
E sepultaram a Abner em Hebrom: e levantando o rei sua voz, chorou junto ao sepulcro de Abner; e chorou também todo aquele povo.
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, O, that Abner had to die, as the worthless dieth!
E lamentando o rei pelo mesmo Abner, dizia: Morreu Abner como morre um tolo?
34 Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet were not put into fetters: as one falleth before men of wickedness art thou fallen. And all the people wept again over him.
Tuas mãos não estavam atadas, nem teus pés ligados com grilhões; caíste como os que caem diante de homens maus. E todo aquele povo voltou a chorar por causa dele.
35 And all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and thus may he continue, if before the sun be down I taste bread, or the least else.
E quando todo aquele povo veio a dar de comer pão a Davi sendo ainda de dia, Davi jurou, dizendo: Assim me faça Deus e assim me acrescente, se antes que se ponha o sol provar eu pão, ou outra qualquer coisa.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it was pleasing in their eyes: as whatsoever the king did was pleasing in the eyes of all the people.
Soube-o assim todo aquele povo, e pareceu bem em seus olhos; porque tudo o que o rei fazia parecia bem em olhos de todo aquele povo.
37 And all the people and all Israel understood on that day that it had not been of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
E todo aquele povo e todo Israel entenderam aquele dia, que não havia vindo do rei que Abner filho de Ner morresse.
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that a prince and a great man hath fallen this day in Israel?
E o rei disse a seus servos: Não sabeis que caiu hoje em Israel um príncipe, e grande?
39 And I am this day yet weak, and just anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruyah, are too strong for me: may the Lord pay the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
Que eu agora ainda sou tenro rei ungido; e estes homens, os filhos de Zeruia, muito duros me são; o SENHOR retribua ao que faz o mal conforme sua malícia.
