2 Samuel 4
1 And the son of Saul hears that Abner [is] dead in Hebron, and his hands are feeble, and all of Israel has been troubled.
Ouvindo pois o filho de Saul que Abner morrera em Hebron, as mãos se lhe afrouxaram: e todo o Israel pasmou.
2 And two men, heads of troops, have been [to] the son of Saul, the name of the first [is] Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for Beeroth is also reckoned to Benjamin,
E tinha o filho de Saul dois homens capitães de tropas: e era o nome d'um Baena, e o nome do outro Rekab, filhos de Rimmon, o beerothita, dos filhos de Benjamin, porque tambem Beeroth se reputava de Benjamin.
3 and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are sojourners there to this day.
E tinham fugido os beerothitas para Gittaim, e ali tinham peregrinado até ao dia de hoje.
4 And to Jonathan son of Saul [is] a son—lame; he was a son of five years at the coming in of the rumor of [the death of] Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifts him up, and flees, and it comes to pass in her hastening to flee, that he falls, and becomes lame, and his name [is] Mephibosheth.
E Jonathan, filho de Saul, tinha um filho aleijado de ambos os pés: era da edade de cinco annos quando as novas de Saul e Jonathan vieram de Jizreel, e sua ama o tomou, e fugiu: e succedeu que, apressando-se ella a fugir, elle caiu, e ficou côxo; e o seu nome era Mephiboseth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, go, and come in at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down—the lying down of noon;
E foram os filhos de Rimmon, o beerothita, Rekab e Baena, e entraram em casa de Isboseth no maior calor do dia, estando elle deitado a dormir, ao meio dia.
6 and they have come there, to the midst of the house, taking wheat, and they strike him to the fifth [rib], and Rechab and his brother Baanah have escaped;
E ali entraram até ao meio da casa, como que vindo tomar trigo, e o feriram na quinta costella: e Rekab e Baena, seu irmão, escaparam;
7 indeed, they come into the house, and he is lying on his bed, in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they strike him, and put him to death, and turn his head aside, and they take his head, and go the way of the plain all the night,
Porque entraram na sua casa, estando elle na cama deitado, na sua recamara, e o feriram, e o mataram, e lhe cortaram a cabeça; e, tomando a sua cabeça, andaram toda a noite caminhando pela planicie.
8 and bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth to David in Hebron, and say to the king, “Behold, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life; and YHWH gives vengeance to my lord the king this day, of Saul and of his seed.”
E trouxeram a cabeça d'Isboseth a David, a Hebron, e disseram ao rei: Eis aqui a cabeça de Isboseth, filho de Saul, teu inimigo, que te procurava a morte: assim o Senhor vingou hoje ao rei meu senhor de Saul e da sua semente.
9 And David answers Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and says to them, “YHWH lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Porém David, respondendo a Rekab e a Baena, seu irmão, filhos de Rimmon, o beerothita, disse-lhes: Vive o Senhor, que remiu a minha alma de toda a angustia,
10 when one is declaring to me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him [for] the tidings.
Que, pois se áquelle que me trouxe novas (dizendo: Eis que Saul morto é, parecendo-lhe porém aos seus olhos que era como quem trazia boas novas), eu logo lancei mão d'elle, e o matei em Siclag, cuidando elle que eu por isso lhe désse alviçaras;
11 Also—when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his own house, on his bed; and now, do I not require his blood from your hand, and have taken you away from the earth?”
Quanto mais a impios homens, que mataram um homem justo em sua casa, sobre a sua cama: agora, pois, não requereria eu o seu sangue de vossas mãos, e não vos exterminaria da terra?
12 And David commands the young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hang [them] over the pool in Hebron, and they have taken the head of Ish-Bosheth, and bury [it] in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron.
E deu David ordem aos seus mancebos que os matassem: e cortaram-lhes os pés e as mãos, e os penduraram sobre o tanque de Hebron: tomaram porém a cabeça d'Isboseth, e a sepultaram na sepultura de Abner, em Hebron.
