2 Samuel 4
1 Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
Quando o filho de Saul soube que Abner estava morto em Hebron, suas mãos ficaram fracas, e todos os israelitas ficaram perturbados.
2 And Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
O filho de Saul tinha dois homens que eram capitães de bandas de assalto. O nome de um era Baaná e o nome do outro Rechab, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim (pois Beerote também é considerado parte de Benjamim;
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).
e os Beerotitas fugiram para Gittaim, e viveram como estrangeiros até hoje).
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
Agora Jonathan, filho de Saul, tinha um filho que era coxo nos pés. Ele tinha cinco anos quando a notícia sobre Saul e Jonathan saiu de Jezreel; e sua enfermeira o pegou e fugiu. Quando ela se apressou a fugir, ele caiu e ficou coxo. Seu nome era Mephibosheth.
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest at noon.
Os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerothite, Rechab e Baanah, saíram e chegaram por volta do calor do dia à casa de Ishbosheth enquanto ele descansava ao meio-dia.
6 And look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
Eles chegaram lá no meio da casa como se tivessem buscado trigo, e o atingiram no corpo; e Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, escaparam.
7 And they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
Agora quando entraram na casa enquanto ele estava deitado em sua cama em seu quarto, o atingiram, o mataram, o decapitaram e lhe tiraram a cabeça, e foram pelo caminho do Arabah a noite toda.
8 They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. Jehovah has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
Eles trouxeram a cabeça de Ishbosheth para David em Hebron, e disseram ao rei: “Eis a cabeça de Ishbosheth, o filho de Saul, seu inimigo, que procurava sua vida! Javé vingou hoje meu senhor, o rei de Saul e de sua descendência”.”
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As Jehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
David respondeu a Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotíco, e lhes disse: “Como Javé vive, que redimiu minha alma de toda adversidade,
10 when someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
quando alguém me disse: 'Eis que Saul está morto', pensando que trazia boas novas, eu o agarrei e o matei em Ziklag, que foi a recompensa que lhe dei por suas notícias.
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
Quanto mais, quando homens perversos mataram uma pessoa justa em sua própria casa, em sua cama, não deveria eu agora exigir seu sangue de sua mão, e livrar a terra de você”?
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner son of Ner.
David comandou seus jovens, e eles os mataram, cortaram suas mãos e seus pés, e os penduraram ao lado da piscina em Hebron. Mas eles pegaram a cabeça de Ishbosheth e a enterraram no túmulo de Abner em Hebron.
