2 Samuel 15
1 And it came to pass, after this, that Absolom prepared him chariots and horses, —and fifty men, to run before him.
E aconteceu depois d'isto que Absalão fez apparelhar carros e cavallos, e cincoenta homens que corressem adiante d'elle.
2 And Absolom used to rise up early, and take his stand beside the way of the gate, —and so it was—when any man who had a controversy would come unto the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said: Of what city, art, thou? And he said, Of one of the tribes of Israel, is thy servant. And Absolom said unto him,
Tambem Absalão se levantou pela manhã, e parava a uma banda do caminho da porta. E succedia que a todo o homem que tinha alguma demanda para vir ao rei a juizo, o chamava Absalão a si, e lhe dizia: De que cidade és tu? E, dizendo elle: D'uma das tribus d'Israel é teu servo;
3 See! thy cause, is good and right, —but, to hear it, thou hast no one, from the king.
Então Absalão lhe dizia: Olha, os teus negocios são bons e rectos, porém não tens quem te ouça da parte do rei.
4 And Absalom said, Oh would that I were appointed to judge in the land! that, unto me, might come every man having a complaint or a defence, then would I see him righted.
Dizia mais Absalão: Ah, quem me dera ser juiz na terra! para que viesse a mim todo o homem que tivesse demanda ou questão, para que lhe fizesse justiça.
5 Moreover, so it used to be, that, when any man came near to do him homage, he would put forth his hand, and lay hold of him, and kiss him.
Succedia tambem que, quando alguem se chegava a elle para se inclinar diante d'elle, elle estendia a sua mão, e pegava d'elle, e o beijava.
6 And Absolom did, after this manner, to all Israel who came for judgment, unto the king, —so Absolom stole away the heart of the men of Israel.
E d'esta maneira fazia Absalão a todo o Israel que vinha ao rei para juizo: assim furtava Absalão o coração dos homens de Israel.
7 And it came to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absolom said unto the king—Let me go, I pray thee, that I may pay my vow which I have vowed unto Yahweh, in Hebron;
Aconteceu, pois, ao cabo de quarenta annos, que Absalão disse ao rei: Deixa-me ir pagar em Hebron o meu voto que votei ao Senhor.
8 for thy servant vowed, a vow, while I abode in Geshur in Syria, saying, —If Yahweh, will but bring me back, unto Jerusalem, then will I serve Yahweh,
Porque, morando eu em Gesur, em Syria, votou o teu servo um voto, dizendo: Se o Senhor outra vez me fizer tornar a Jerusalem, servirei ao Senhor.
9 And the king said unto him—Go and prosper! So he arose and went to Hebron.
Então lhe disse o rei: Vae em paz. Levantou-se, pois, e foi para Hebron.
10 And Absolom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —When ye hear the sound of the horn, then shall ye say, Absolom hath become king in Hebron!
E enviou Absalão espias por todas as tribus d'Israel, dizendo: Quando ouvirdes o som das trombetas, direis: Absalão reina em Hebron.
11 And, with Absolom, went two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, who, having been bidden, were going in their simplicity, —neither knew they anything.
E de Jerusalem foram com Absalão duzentos homens convidados, porém iam na sua simplicidade, porque nada sabiam d'aquelle negocio.
12 And Absalom sent and called Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, out of his city, out of Gilo, when he was offering sacrifices, —and so it was that the conspiracy was strong, and, the people, went on multiplying with Absolom.
Tambem Absalão enviou por Achitophel, o gilonita, do conselho de David, á sua cidade de Gilo, estando elle sacrificando os seus sacrificios: e a conjuração se fortificava, e vinha o povo, e se augmentava com Absalão.
13 Then came one bearing tidings unto David, saying, —It hath come about, that the heart of the men of Israel goeth after Absolom.
Então veiu um mensageiro a David, dizendo: O coração de cada um em Israel segue a Absalão.
14 Then said David, to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem—Arise and let us flee, or we shall have no way of escape from the face of Absolom, —make speed to depart, lest he make speed, and so overtake us, and bring down misfortune upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
Disse pois David a todos os seus servos que estavam com elle em Jerusalem: Levantae-vos, e fujamos, porque não poderiamos escapar diante de Absalão. Dae-vos pressa a caminhar, para que porventura não se apresse elle, e nos alcance, e lance sobre nós algum mal, e fira a cidade a fio de espada.
15 And the king’s servants said unto the king, —According to all that my lord the king shall choose, here are thy servants.
Então os servos do rei disseram ao rei: Eis aqui os teus servos, para tudo quanto determinar o rei, nosso senhor.
16 So the king went forth, with all his household attending him, —but the king left ten women who were concubines, to keep the house.
E saiu o rei, com toda a sua casa, a pé: deixou porém o rei dez mulheres concubinas, para guardarem a casa.
17 Thus then the king went forth, with all the people attending him, —and they came to a stand at a place that was far off.
Tendo pois saido o rei com todo o povo a pé, pararam n'um logar distante.
18 And, all his servants, were passing on beside him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, —and, all the Gittites—six hundred men, who had accompanied him from Gath, —were passing on before the king.
E todos os seus servos iam a seu lado, como tambem todos os cheretheos e todos os peletheos: e todos os getheos, seiscentos homens que vieram de Gath a pé, caminhavam diante do rei.
19 Then said the king, unto Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore shouldest, thou also, go with us? return and abide with the king, for, a stranger, art thou, moreover also, an exile, art thou from thine own country.
Disse pois o rei a Ittai, o getheo: Porque irias tu tambem comnosco? Volta, e fica-te com o rei, porque estranho és, e tambem te tornarás a teu logar.
20 Only yesterday, camest thou, and, today, shall I let thee wander with us, on our journey, seeing that, I, am going, whithersoever I may? Return and take back thy brethren with thee, and may Yahweh deal with thee in lovingkindness and faithfulness.
Hontem vieste, e te levaria eu hoje comnosco a caminhar? Pois força me é ir aonde quer que podér ir: volta, pois, e torna a levar teus irmãos comtigo, com beneficencia e fidelidade.
21 But Ittai answered the king, and said, —By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of my lord the king, surely, in whatsoever place, my lord the king, may be, whether for death or for life, there will, thy servant, be.
Respondeu porém Ittai ao rei, e disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive o rei meu senhor, que no logar em que estiver o rei meu senhor, seja para morte seja para vida, ahi certamente estará tambem o teu servidor.
22 Then said David unto Ittai—Go, and pass on. So Ittai the Gittite passed on, with all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
Então David disse a Ittai: Vem pois, e passa adiante. Assim passou Ittai, o getheo, e todos os seus homens, e todas as creanças que havia com elle.
23 And, fall the land, was weeping, with a loud voice, and, all the people, were passing on, —the king also, was passing on, through the torrent-bed of Kidron, and all the people were passing on over the face of the way leading to the wilderness.
E toda a terra chorava a grandes vozes, passando todo o povo: tambem o rei passou o ribeiro de Cedron, e passou todo o povo na direcção do caminho do deserto.
24 And lo! Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, were bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up, until all the people had made an end of passing over out of the city.
Eis que tambem Zadok ali estava, e com elle todos os levitas que levavam a arca do concerto de Deus; e pozeram ali a arca de Deus, e subiu Abiathar, até que todo o povo acabou de passar da cidade.
25 Then said the king unto Zadok, Take back the ark of God into the city, —if I find favour in the eyes of Yahweh, then will he bring me back, and let me see both him and his habitation,
Então disse o rei a Zadok: Torna a levar a arca de Deus á cidade; que, se achar graça nos olhos do Senhor, elle me tornará a trazer para lá, e me deixará vêr a ella e a sua habitação.
26 but, if thus, he say, I have no delight in thee, here I am, let him do unto me as may be good in his eyes.
Se porém disser assim: Não tenho prazer em ti; eis-me aqui, faça de mim como parecer bem aos seus olhos.
27 And the king said, unto Zadok the priest, Art thou not, a seer? return into the city, in peace, —and Ahimaaz thine own son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar—your two sons, with you.
Disse mais o rei a Zadok, o sacerdote: Não és tu porventura o vidente? torna pois em paz para a cidade, e comvosco tambem vossos dois filhos, Ahimaas, teu filho, e Jonathan, filho d'Abiathar.
28 See! I, am tarrying in the waste plains of the wilderness—until there come word from you, to tell me.
Olhae que me demorarei nas campinas do deserto até que tenha novas vossas.
29 So Zadok and Abiathar took back the ark of God to Jerusalem, —and abode there.
Zadok pois e Abiathar tornaram a levar para Jerusalem a arca de Deus: e ficaram ali.
30 Now, David, was going up by the ascent of Olivet, weeping as he went up, with his head covered, himself, passing on barefoot, —and all the people who were with him, covered every man his head, and went up, weeping as they went.
E subiu David pela subida das oliveiras, subindo e chorando, e com a cabeça coberta; e caminhava com os pés descalços: e todo o povo que ia com elle cobria cada um a sua cabeça, e subiam chorando sem cessar.
31 And, unto David, it was told, saying, Ahithophel, is among the conspirators with Absolom. And David said, Turn to foolishness, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.
Então fizeram saber a David, dizendo: Tambem Achitophel está entre os que se conjuraram com Absalão. Pelo que disse David: Ó Senhor, enlouquece o conselho de Achitophel.
32 And it came to pass, when David reached the summit, where he bowed himself down unto God, that lo! there met him, Hushai the Archite, his tunic rent, and earth upon his head.
E aconteceu, que chegando David ao cume, para adorar ali a Deus, eis que Husai, o archita, veiu encontrar-se com elle com o vestido rasgado e terra sobre a cabeça.
33 And David said unto him, —If thou pass over with me, then shalt thou become unto me, a burden;
E disse-lhe David: Se passares comigo, ser-me-has pesado.
34 but, if, to the city, thou return, then canst thou say unto Absolom—Thy servant, I, O king, will be, as, the servant of thy father, I was formerly, so will I, now, be thy servant: thus shalt thou frustrate for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
Porém se voltares para a cidade, e disseres a Absalão: Eu serei, ó rei, teu servo; bem fui d'antes servo de teu pae, mas agora serei teu servo: dissipar-me-has então o conselho de Achitophel.
35 And hast thou not, with thee, there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so then it shall be, that, what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the house of the king, thou shalt tell to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests.
E não estão ali comtigo Zadok e Abiathar, sacerdotes? E será que todas as coisas que ouvires da casa do rei, farás saber a Zadok e a Abiathar, sacerdotes.
36 Lo! they have there with them, their two sons, Ahimaaz for Zadok, and Jonathan for Abiathar, —so shall ye send, by their hand, unto me, everything which ye shall hear.
Eis que estão tambem ali com elles seus dois filhos, Ahimaas filho de Zadok, e Jonathan filho de Abiathar: pela mão d'elles aviso me mandareis pois de todas as coisas que ouvirdes.
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, went into the city, —when, Absolom, was about to enter Jerusalem.
Husai pois, amigo de David, veiu para a cidade: e Absalão entrou em Jerusalem.
