2 Samuel 3
1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
E houve uma longa guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de David: porém David se ia fortalecendo, mas os da casa de Saul se iam enfraquecendo.
2 Now sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
E a David nasceram filhos em Hebron: e foi o seu primogenito Amnon, de Achinoam a jizreelita;
3 and his second, Daluiah, of Abigail of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
E seu segundo Chileab, de Abigail, mulher de Nabal, o carmelita; e o terceiro Absalão, filho de Maaka, filha de Talmai, rei de Gesur;
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, of Abital;
E o quarto Adonias, filho d'Haggith; e o quinto Sephatias, filho d'Abital;
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
E o sexto Jithream, d'Egla, tambem mulher de David: estes nasceram a David em Hebron.
6 And it came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was gaining power in the house of Saul.
E, havendo guerra entre a casa de Saul, e a casa de David, succedeu que Abner se esforçava na casa de Saul.
7 Now Saul had a secondary wife, Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbaal son of Saul said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's secondary wife?"
E tinha tido Saul uma concubina, cujo nome era Rispa, filha de Aia: e disse Isboseth a Abner: Porque entraste á concubina de meu pae?
8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ishbaal, and said, "Am I a dog's head? Until today, is it for myself that I have been doing all these things, showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David? And yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
Então se irou muito Abner pelas palavras de Isboseth, e disse: Sou eu cabeça de cão, que pertença a Judah? ainda hoje faço beneficencia á casa de Saul, teu pae, a seus irmãos, e a seus amigos, e te não entreguei nas mãos de David, e tu hoje buscas motivo para me arguires por respeito da maldade d'uma mulher.
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;
Assim faça Deus a Abner, e outro tanto, que como o Senhor jurou a David assim lhe hei de fazer,
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."
Transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e levantando o throno de David sobre Israel, e sobre Judah, desde Dan até Berseba.
11 And Ishbaal could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
E nem ainda uma palavra podia responder a Abner: porque o temia.
12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Whose is the land?" and saying, "Make an agreement with me, and look, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around to you."
Então ordenou Abner da sua parte mensageiros a David, dizendo: De quem é a terra? E disse: Comigo faze a tua alliança, e eis que a minha mão será comtigo, para tornar a ti todo o Israel.
13 He said, "Good. I will make a covenant with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Mikal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."
E disse David: Bem, eu farei comtigo alliança, porém uma coisa te peço, que é: não verás a minha face, se primeiro me não trouxeres a Michal, filha de Saul, quando vieres ver a minha face.
14 David sent messengers to Ishbaal, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Mikal, whom I betrothed to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
Tambem enviou David mensageiros a Isboseth, filho de Saul, dizendo: Dá-me minha mulher Michal, que eu desposei comigo por cem prepucios de philisteos.
15 Ishbaal sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish.
E enviou Isboseth, e a tirou a seu marido, a Phaltiel, filho de Lais.
16 But her husband went with her, weeping behind her, as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back." So he went back.
E ia com ella seu marido, caminhando, e chorando detraz d'ella, até Baurim. Então lhe disse Abner: Vae-te agora, volta. E elle voltou.
17 Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time you have wanted David to be king over you.
E praticava Abner com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Muito tempo ha que procuraveis que David reinasse sobre vós;
18 Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'"
Fazei-o pois agora, porque o Senhor fallou a David, dizendo: Pela mão de David meu servo livrarei o meu povo das mãos dos philisteos e das mãos de todos os seus inimigos.
19 And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
E fallou tambem Abner o mesmo aos ouvidos de Benjamin: e foi tambem Abner dizer aos ouvidos de David, em Hebron, tudo o que era bom aos olhos de Israel e aos olhos de toda a casa de Benjamin.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
E veiu Abner a David, a Hebron, e vinte homens com elle: e David fez um banquete a Abner e aos homens que com elle vinham.
21 Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." David sent Abner away; and he left in peace.
Então disse Abner a David: Eu me levantarei, e irei, e ajuntarei ao rei meu senhor todo o Israel, para fazerem alliança comtigo; e tu reinarás sobre tudo o que desejar a tua alma. Assim despediu David a Abner, e foi-se elle em paz.
22 Look, the servants of David and Joab were returning from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he left in peace.
E eis que os servos de David e Joab vieram d'uma sortida, e traziam comsigo grande despojo; e já Abner não estava com David em Hebron, porque o tinha despedido, e se tinha ido em paz.
23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to David, and he has sent him away, and he left in peace."
Chegando pois Joab, e todo o exercito que vinha com elle, deram aviso a Joab, dizendo: Abner, filho de Ner, veiu ao rei, e o despediu, e foi-se em paz.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away? Now he has gone.
Então Joab entrou ao rei, e disse: Que fizeste? eis que Abner veiu ter comtigo; porque pois o despediste, de maneira que se fosse assim livremente?
25 Don't you know the evil ways of Abner the son of Ner? He came to deceive you and to observe your movements and to learn everything that you are doing."
Bem conheces a Abner, filho de Ner, que te veiu enganar, e saber a tua saida e a tua entrada, e entender tudo quanto fazes.
26 When Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
E Joab, retirando-se de David, enviou mensageiros atraz d'Abner, e o fizeram voltar desde o poço de Sira, sem que David o soubesse.
27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the abdomen, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Tornando pois Abner a Hebron, Joab o tirou á parte, á entrada da porta, para lhe fallar em segredo: e feriu-o ali pela quinta costella, e morreu, por causa do sangue de Asael seu irmão.
28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD now and forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
O que David depois ouvindo, disse: Innocente sou eu, e o meu reino, para com o Senhor, para sempre, do sangue d'Abner, filho de Ner.
29 May it whirl over the head of Joab, and on all his father's house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
Fique-se sobre a cabeça de Joab e sobre toda a casa de seu pae, e nunca da casa de Joab falte quem tenha fluxo, nem quem seja leproso, nem quem se atenha a bordão, nem quem caia á espada, nem quem necessite de pão.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Joab pois e Abisai, seu irmão, mataram a Abner, por ter morto a Asael, seu irmão, na peleja em Gibeon.
31 David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the coffin.
Disse pois David a Joab, e a todo o povo que com elle estava: Rasgae os vossos vestidos; e cingi-vos de saccos e ide pranteando diante de Abner. E o rei David ia seguindo o feretro.
32 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, sepultando a Abner em Hebron, o rei levantou a sua voz, e chorou junto da sepultura de Abner; e chorou todo o povo.
33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, "Should Abner die as a fool dies?
E o rei, pranteando a Abner, disse: Não morreu Abner como morre o vilão?
34 Your hands were not bound in chains, your feet were not put into fetters. As a man falls before the ruthless, so you fell." All the people wept again over him.
As tuas mãos não estavam atadas, nem os teus pés carregados de grilhões de bronze, mas caiste como os que caem diante dos filhos da maldade! Então todo o povo chorou muito mais por elle
35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down."
Então todo o povo veiu fazer que David comesse pão, sendo ainda dia, porém David jurou, dizendo: Assim Deus me faça, e outro tanto, se, antes que o sol se ponha, eu provar pão ou alguma coisa.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; just as everything the king did pleased the people.
O que todo o povo entendendo, pareceu bem aos seus olhos, assim como tudo quanto o rei fez pareceu bem aos olhos de todo o povo.
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
E todo o povo e todo o Israel entenderam n'aquelle mesmo dia que não procedera do rei que matassem a Abner, filho de Ner.
38 The king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
Então disse o rei aos seus servos: Não sabeis que hoje caiu em Israel um principe e um grande?
39 I am this day weak, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."
Que eu ainda sou tenro, ainda que ungido rei; estes homens, filhos de Zeruia, são mais duros do que eu: o Senhor pagará ao malfeitor, conforme a sua maldade.
