2 Samuel 21
1 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered the Gibeonites."
E houve em dias de David uma fome de tres annos, de anno em anno; e David consultou ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe disse: É por causa de Saul e da sua casa sanguinaria, porque matou os gibeonitas.
2 So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
Então chamou o rei aos gibeonitas, e lhes fallou (ora os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas do resto dos amorrheos, e os filhos de Israel lhes tinham jurado, porém Saul procurou feril-os no seu zelo á causa dos filhos de Israel e de Judah).
3 And David said to the Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?"
Disse pois David aos gibeonitas: Que quereis que eu vos faça? e que satisfação vos darei, para que abençoeis a herança do Senhor?
4 The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it for you."
Então os gibeonitas lhe disseram: Não é por prata nem oiro que temos questão com Saul e com sua casa; nem tão pouco pretendemos matar pessoa alguma em Israel. E disse elle: Que é pois que quereis que vos faça?
5 So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory of Israel,
E disseram ao rei: O homem que nos destruiu, e intentou contra nós que fossemos assollados, sem que podessemos subsistir em termo algum de Israel,
6 let seven of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before Jehovah at Gibeon on the mountain of Jehovah." And the king replied, "I will do it."
De seus filhos se nos dêem sete homens, para que os enforquemos ao Senhor em Gibeah de Saul, o eleito do Senhor. E disse o rei: Eu os darei.
7 But the king spared Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Porém o rei poupou a Mephiboseth, filho de Jonathan, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento do Senhor, que entre elles houvera, entre David e Jonathan, filho de Saul.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Porém tomou o rei os dois filhos de Rispa, filha d'Aia, que tinha parido a Saul, a saber a Armoni e a Mephiboseth; como tambem os cinco filhos da irmã de Michal, filha de Saul, que parira a Adriel, filho de Barzillai, meholathita.
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before Jehovah, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning of barley harvest.
E os entregou na mão dos gibeonitas, os quaes os enforcaram no monte, perante o Senhor; e cairam estes sete juntamente: e foram mortos nos dias da sega, nos dias primeiros, no principio da sega das cevadas.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
Então Rispa, filha d'Aia, tomou um panno de cilicio, e estendeu-lh'o sobre uma penha, desde o principio da sega, até que distillou a agua sobre elles do céu: e não deixou as aves do céu pousar sobre elles de dia, nem os animaes do campo de noite.
11 It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife of Saul, had done.
E foi dito a David o que fizera Rispa, filha d'Aia, concubina de Saul.
12 Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
Então foi David, e tomou os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho, dos moradores de Jabéz-gilead, os quaes os furtaram da rua de Beth-san, onde os philisteos os tinham pendurado, quando os philisteos feriram a Saul em Gilboa.
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
E fez subir d'ali os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho: e ajuntaram tambem os ossos dos enforcados.
14 And he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to prayers for the land.
Enterraram os ossos de Saul, e de Jonathan seu filho na terra de Benjamin, em Zela, na sepultura de seu pae Kis, e fizeram tudo o que o rei ordenara; e depois d'isto Deus se aplacou com a terra.
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now David became exhausted,
Tiveram mais os philisteos uma peleja contra Israel: e desceu David, e com elle os seus servos: e tanto pelejaram contra os philisteos, que David se cançou.
16 and Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could kill David.
E Isbi-benob, que era dos filhos do gigante, e o peso de cuja lança tinha trezentos siclos de peso de cobre, e que cingia uma espada nova, este intentou ferir a David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."
Porém Abisai, filho de Zeruia, o soccorreu, e feriu o philisteo, e o matou: então os homens de David lhe juraram, dizendo: Nunca mais sairás comnosco á peleja, para que não apagues a lampada de Israel.
18 Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
E aconteceu depois d'isto que houve em Gob ainda outra peleja contra os philisteos: então Sibbechai, o husatita, feriu a Saph, que era dos filhos do gigante.
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
Houve mais outra peleja contra os philisteos em Gob: e El-hanan, filho de Jaaré-oregim, o beth-lehemita feriu Goliath, o getheo, de cuja lança era a haste como orgão de tecelão.
20 There was another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
Houve ainda tambem outra peleja em Gath, onde estava um homem d'alta estatura, que tinha em cada mão seis dedos, e em cada pé outros seis, vinte e quatro por todos, e tambem este nascera do gigante.
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
E injuriava a Israel: porém Jonathan, filho de Simea, irmão de David, o feriu.
22 These four were descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Estes quatro nasceram ao gigante em Gath: e cairam pela mão de David e pela mão de seus servos.
