2 Samuel 12
1 So YHWH sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, "Tell me how you judge this case. There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor.
E o Senhor enviou Nathan a David: e, entrando ele a David, disse-lhe: Havia numa cidade dois homens, um rico e outro pobre.
2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
O rico tinha muitíssimas ovelhas e vacas;
3 but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had acquired. And he raised it and it grew up alongside him and his children. It used to eat of his morsel and drink from his cup and sleep in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.
Mas o pobre não tinha coisa nenhuma, senão uma pequena cordeira que comprara e criara; e ela tinha crescido com ele e com seus filhos igualmente; do seu bocado comia, e do seu copo bebia, e dormia em seu regaço, e a tinha como filha.
4 Now a traveler came to the rich man, but he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd to prepare for the traveler who had come to him, but took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."
E, vindo ao homem rico um viajante, deixou este de tomar das suas ovelhas e das suas vacas para guizar para o viajante que viera a ele: e tomou a cordeira do homem pobre, e a preparou para o homem que viera a ele.
5 Then David became very angry with that man, and he said to Nathan, "As YHWH lives, the man who has done this deserves death.
Então o furor de David se acendeu em grande maneira contra aquele homem, e disse a Nathan: Vive o Senhor, que digno de morte é o homem que fez isso.
6 He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity."
E pela cordeira tornará a dar o quadruplicado, porque fez tal coisa, e porque não se compadeceu.
7 Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what YHWH, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
Então disse Nathan a David: Tu és este homem. Assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: Eu te ungi rei sobre Israel, e eu te livrei das mãos de Saul,
8 I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your care, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
E te dei a casa de teu senhor, e as mulheres de teu senhor em teu seio, e também te dei a casa de Israel e de Judá, e, se isto é pouco, mais te acrescentaria tais e tais coisas.
9 Why have you despised YHWH, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hethite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the people of Ammon.
Porque, pois, desprezaste a palavra do Senhor, fazendo o mal diante de seus olhos? A Urias, o hetheu, feriste à espada, e a sua mulher tomaste por tua mulher; e a ele mataste com a espada dos filhos de Ammon:
10 Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hethite to be your wife.'
Agora, pois, não se apartará a espada jamais da tua casa, porquanto me desprezaste, e tomaste a mulher de Urias, o hetheu, para que te seja por mulher.
11 "This is what YHWH says: 'Look, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que suscitarei da tua mesma casa o mal sobre ti, e tomarei tuas mulheres perante os teus olhos, e as darei a teu próximo, o qual se deitará com tuas mulheres perante este sol.
12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"
Porque tu o fizeste em oculto, mas eu farei este negócio perante todo o Israel e perante o sol.
13 David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against YHWH." Nathan said to David, "YHWH also has put away your sin. You will not die.
Então disse David a Nathan: Pequei contra o Senhor. E disse Nathan a David: também o Senhor traspassou o teu pecado; não morrerás.
14 However, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for YHWH, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
Todavia, porquanto com este feito deste lugar sobremaneira a que os inimigos do Senhor blasfemem, também o filho que te nasceu certamente morrerá.
15 Then Nathan went to his home. And God struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
Então Nathan se foi para sua casa; e o Senhor feriu a criança que a mulher de Urias parira a David, e adoeceu gravemente.
16 Then David sought from God on behalf of the child. And David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
E buscou David a Deus pela criança; e jejuou David, e entrou, e passou a noite prostrado sobre a terra:
17 And the elders of his house approached him to lift him up from the ground, but he was unwilling, and he would not eat food with them.
Então os anciãos da sua casa se levantaram a ele, para o levantar da terra; porém ele não quis, e não comeu pão com eles
18 It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Look, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?"
E sucedeu que ao sétimo dia morreu a criança: e temiam os servos de David dizer-lhe que a criança era morta, porque diziam: Eis que, sendo a criança ainda viva, lhe falavamos, porém não dava ouvidos à nossa voz; como pois lhe diremos que a criança é morta? Porque mais mal lhe faria.
19 But when David noticed that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "He is dead."
Viu porém David que seus servos falavam baixo, e entendeu David que a criança era morta, pelo que disse David a seus servos: É morta a criança? E eles disseram: É morta.
20 Then David arose from the ground, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of YHWH, and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked for bread to eat. And they set bread before him, and he ate.
Então David se levantou da terra, e se lavou, e se ungiu, e mudou de vestidos, e entrou na casa do Senhor, e adorou: então veio a sua casa, e pediu pão; e lhe puseram pão, e comeu.
21 Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept and kept vigil for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread."
E disseram-lhe seus servos: Que é isto que fizeste? Pela criança viva jejuaste e choraste; porém depois que morreu a criança te levantaste e comeste pão
22 He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether YHWH will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
E disse ele: Vivendo ainda a criança, jejuei e chorei, porque dizia: Quem sabe se o Senhor se compadecerá de mim, e viva a criança?
23 But now he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."
Porém, agora que é morta, porque jejuaria eu agora? Poderei eu faze-la mais voltar? Eu irei a ela, porém ela não voltará para mim.
24 David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. YHWH loved him;
Então consolou David a Bath-seba, sua mulher, e entrou a ela, e se deitou com ela: e pariu ela um filho, e chamou o seu nome Salomão: e o Senhor o amou.
25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for YHWH's sake.
E enviou pela mão do profeta Nathan, e chamou o seu nome Jedid-jah, por amor do Senhor.
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and took the royal city.
Entretanto pelejou Joab contra Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
27 Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and have also taken the water supply of the city.
Então mandou Joab mensageiros a David, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabba, e também tomei a cidade das águas.
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and capture it yourself, or I will capture the city, and it will be named after me."
Ajunta, pois, agora o resto do povo, e cerca a cidade, e toma-a, para que, tomando eu a cidade, não se aclame sobre ela o meu nome.
29 David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
Então ajuntou David a todo o povo, e marchou para Rabba, e pelejou contra ela, e a tomou.
30 He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
E tirou a coroa da cabeça do seu rei, cujo peso era dum talento de ouro, e havia nela pedras preciosas, e foi posta sobre a cabeça de David: e da cidade levou mui grande despojo.
31 He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and to labor at the brick kiln. And he did the same to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
E, trazendo o povo que havia nela, o pôs às serras, e às talhadeiras de ferro, e aos machados de ferro, e os fez passar por forno de tijolos; e assim fez a todas as cidades dos filhos de Ammon: e voltou David e todo o povo para Jerusalém.
