2 Samuel 21
1 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of YHWH. And YHWH said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered the Gibeonites."
E nos dias de Davi houve fome por três anos consecutivos. E Davi consultou ao SENHOR, e o SENHOR lhe disse: É por Saul, e por aquela casa de sangue; porque matou aos 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 o rei chamou aos gibeonitas, e falou-lhes. (Os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas sim do resto dos amorreus, aos quais os filhos de Israel fizeram juramento; mas Saul havia procurado matá-los com motivo de zelo pelos filhos de Israel e de Judá).
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 YHWH?"
Disse, pois Davi aos gibeonitas: Que vos farei, e com que expiarei para que abençoeis à 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."
E os gibeonitas lhe responderam: Não temos nós queixa sobre prata nem sobre ouro com Saul, e com sua casa: nem queremos que morra homem de Israel. E ele lhes disse: O que vós disserdes vos farei.
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 eles responderam ao rei: Daquele homem que nos destruiu, e que tramou contra nós, para nos exterminar sem deixar nada de nós em todo aquele termo de Israel;
6 let seven of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before YHWH at Gibeon on the mountain of YHWH." And the king replied, "I will do it."
Deem-se a nós sete homens de seus filhos, para que os enforquemos ao SENHOR em Gibeá de Saul, o escolhido do SENHOR. E o rei disse: Eu os darei.
7 But the king spared Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of YHWH's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
E perdoou o rei a Mefibosete, filho de Jônatas, filho de Saul, pelo juramento do SENHOR que havia entre eles, entre Davi e Jônatas 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.
Mas tomou o rei dois filhos de Rispa filha de Aiá, os quais ela havia dado à luz de Saul, a saber, a Armoni e a Mefibosete; e cinco filhos de Mical filha de Saul, os quais ela havia dado à luz de Adriel, filho de Barzilai meolatita;
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before YHWH, 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 entregou-os em mãos dos gibeonitas, e eles os enforcaram no monte diante do SENHOR: e morreram juntos aqueles sete, os quais foram mortos no tempo da colheita, nos primeiros dias, no princípio da colheita 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.
Tomando logo Rispa filha de Aiá um saco, estendeu-o sobre um penhasco, desde o princípio da colheita até que choveu sobre eles água do céu; e não deixou a nenhuma ave do céu assentar-se sobre eles de dia, nem animais 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 Davi o que fazia Rispa filha de Aiá, 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 Davi foi, e tomou os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho, dos homens de Jabes de Gileade, que os haviam furtado da praça de Bete-Seã, de onde os haviam pendurado os filisteus, quando os filisteus mataram 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 levar dali os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho; e juntaram também 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.
E sepultaram os ossos de Saul e os de seu filho Jônatas em terra de Benjamim, em Selá, no sepulcro de Quis seu pai; e fizeram tudo o que o rei havia mandado. Depois se aplacou Deus 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,
Quando os filisteus voltaram a fazer guerra a Israel, Davi desceu com os seus servos, e lutaram contra os filisteus; e Davi se cansou.
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.
Nisso, Isbi-Benobe, que era dos filhos do gigante, e que cuja lança pesava trezentos siclos de bronze, estando ele cingido com uma espada nova, pretendeu ferir Davi.
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."
Mas Abisai, filho de Zeruia, o socorreu, feriu o filisteu, e o matou. Então os homens de Davi lhe juraram, dizendo: “Nunca mais sairás conosco à batalha, para que não apagues a lâmpada 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.
Outra segunda guerra houve depois em Gobe contra os filisteus; então Sibecai, husatita, feriu a Safe, 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.
Outra guerra houve em Gobe contra os filisteus, na qual Elanã, filho de Jaaré-Oregim de Belém, feriu a Golias geteu, a haste de cuja lança era como um lançador de tear.
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.
Depois houve outra guerra em Gate, de onde houve um homem de grande altura, o qual tinha doze dedos nas mãos, e outros doze nos pés, vinte e quatro em todos: e também era dos filhos do gigante.
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
Este desafiou a Israel, e foi morto por Jônatas, filho de Simeia irmão de Davi.
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 lhe haviam nascido ao gigante em Gate, os quais caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão de seus servos.
