< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became enfeebled, and all the Israelites were troubled.
Logo que o filho de Saul ouviu que Abner havia sido morto em Hebrom, as mãos se lhe desconjuntaram, e todo Israel foi atemorizado.
2 And Saul's son had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Ba'anah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
E o filho de Saul tinha dois homens, os quais eram capitães de tropa, o nome de um era Baaná, e o do outro Recabe, filhos de Rimom beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim (porque Beerote era contada com Benjamim;
3 And the Beerothites had fled to Gittayim, and remained sojourners there until this day.)
esses beerotitas haviam fugido a Gitaim, e eram peregrinos ali até então).
4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame on both feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Yizre'el, and his nurse took him up and fled: and it came to pass, in her haste to flee, that he fell, and was rendered lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
E Jônatas, filho de Saul, tinha um filho aleijado dos pés de idade de cinco anos, o qual, quando a notícia da morte de Saul e de Jônatas veio de Jezreel, a sua ama o tomou e fugiu; e quando ela ia fugindo depressa, o menino caiu e ficou aleijado. Seu nome era Mefibosete.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Ba'anah, went, and came at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who was just lying in bed as usual at noon.
Então os filhos de Rimom beerotita, Recabe e Baaná, foram e entraram no maior calor do dia na casa de Is-Bosete, o qual estava dormindo à sesta.
6 And they came thither into the interior of the house, as buyers of wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Ba'anah his brother escaped.
Eles entraram no meio da casa como quem vinha buscar trigo, e lhe feriram na quinta costela. E Recabe e seu irmão Baaná escaparam.
7 Namely, they came into the house, while he was lying on his bed in his sleeping-chamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and cut off his head, and took his head, and went by the way of the plain all the night.
Pois, quando entraram na casa, estando ele em sua cama em seu quarto, feriram-no de morte, e cortaram-lhe a cabeça, e, havendo-a tomado, caminharam toda a noite pelo caminho da planície.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and they said to the king, Behold, here is the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life: and the Lord hath granted to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul, and on his seed.
E trouxeram a cabeça de Is-Bosete a Davi em Hebrom, e disseram ao rei: Eis aqui a cabeça de Is-Bosete, filho de Saul, teu inimigo, que procurava matar-te; e o SENHOR vingou hoje ao meu senhor, o rei, de Saul e de sua descendência.
9 But David answered Rechab and Ba'anah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
E Davi respondeu a Recabe e a seu irmão Baaná, filhos de Rimom beerotita, e disse-lhes: Vive o SENHOR que redimiu minha alma de toda angústia,
10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, and he was in his own eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I should give him a reward for his tidings:
que, quando um me deu a notícia, dizendo: Eis que Saul é morto, imaginando que trazia uma boa notícia, eu o detive e o matei em Ziclague, por causa da notícia.
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous man in his own house upon his bed? and now, behold, I will require his blood of your hand, and I will remove you away from the earth.
Quanto mais aos homens maus que mataram a um homem justo em sua casa, e sobre sua cama? Agora, pois, não tenho eu de exigir o seu sangue das vossas mãos, e exterminar-vos da terra?
12 And David gave the command to the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up by the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ish-bosheth they took, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
Então Davi deu ordem aos rapazes, e eles os mataram, e cortaram-lhes as mãos e os pés, e penduraram-nos sobre o tanque, em Hebrom. Depois tomaram a cabeça de Is-Bosete, e enterraram-na no sepulcro de Abner em Hebrom.
