2 Samuel 3
1 And the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was prolonged, —and, David, waxed stronger and stronger, and, the house of Saul, became weaker and weaker.
E houve longa guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de Davi; mas Davi se ia fortificando, e a casa de Saul ia diminuindo.
2 And there were born unto David, sons, in Hebron, —and it came to press that—His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess;
E nasceram filhos a Davi em Hebrom: seu primogênito foi Amom, de Ainoã jezreelita;
3 And his second Chileab, by Abigail, wife of Nabal the Carmelite, And the third Absolom, son of Maachah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
Seu segundo Quileabe, de Abigail a mulher de Nabal, o do Carmelo; o terceiro, Absalão, filho de Maaca, filha de Talmai rei de Gesur:
4 And the fourth Adonijah, son of Higgith, —And the fifth Shephatiah, son of Abital;
O quarto, Adonias filho de Hagite; o quinto, Sefatias filho de Abital;
5 And the sixth Ithream, by Eglah wife of David. These, were born unto David, in Hebron.
O sexto, Itreão, de Eglá mulher de Davi. Estes nasceram a Davi em Hebrom.
6 And it came to pass, while the war continued between the house of Saul and the house of David, that, Abner, shewed himself courageous for the house of Saul.
E quando havia guerra entre a casa de Saul e a de Davi, aconteceu que Abner se esforçava pela casa de Saul.
7 Now, Saul, had a concubine, whose name, was Rizpah daughter of Aiah, —and [Ish-bosheth] said unto Abner, Why, wentest thou in, unto my father’s concubine?
E havia Saul tido uma concubina que se chamava Rispa, filha de Aiá. E disse Is-Bosete a Abner: Por que te deitaste com a concubina de meu pai?
8 And it provoked Abner greatly, on account of the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said—Am I, the head of the dogs, that pertain unto Judah? To-day, would I deal in lovingkindness with the house of Saul thy father, towards his brethren, and towards his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, —and yet thou hast charged upon me the transgression of the woman, today.
E irou-se Abner em grande maneira pelas palavras de Is-Bosete, e disse: Sou eu uma cabeça de cão pertencente a Judá? Eu fiz hoje misericórdia com a casa de Saul teu pai, com seus irmãos, e com seus amigos, e não te entreguei nas mãos de Davi; e tu me acusas de ter pecado acerca desta mulher?
9 So, may God do unto Abner, and, so, may he add to him, —if, as Yahweh hath sworn unto David, even so, I deal not with him;
Assim faça Deus a Abner e assim lhe acrescente, se como o SENHOR jurou a Davi eu não fizer assim com ele,
10 by turning over the kingdom from the house of Saul, —and establishing the throne of David, over Israel and over Judah, from Dan, even unto Beer-sheba.
Transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e confirmando o trono de Davi sobre Israel e sobre Judá, desde Dã até Berseba.
11 And he could no further answer Abner, a word, —because he feared him.
E ele não pode responder palavra a Abner, porque lhe temia.
12 So Abner sent messengers unto David, on the spot, saying—Whose, is the land? Saying [also] —Solemnise thy covenant with me; and lo! my hand, shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee, all Israel.
E enviou Abner mensageiros a Davi de sua parte, dizendo: De quem é a terra? E que lhe dissessem: Faze aliança comigo, e eis que minha mão será contigo para virar a ti a todo Israel.
13 And he said—Good! I, will solemnise with thee a covenant, —but, one thing, must I ask of thee, saying—Thou shalt not see my face, except thou have brought in Michal, Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
E Davi disse: Bem; eu farei contigo aliança: mas uma coisa te peço, e é, que não me venhas a ver sem que primeiro tragas a Mical a filha de Saul, quando vieres a ver-me.
14 And David sent messengers unto Ish-bosheth son of Saul, saying, —Give up my wife, Michal, whom I espoused to myself, for a hundred foreskins of Philistines.
Depois disto enviou Davi mensageiros a Is-Bosete filho de Saul, dizendo: Restitui-me a minha mulher Mical, a qual eu desposei comigo por cem prepúcios de filisteus.
15 So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband, —from Paltiel, son of Laish.
Então Is-Bosete enviou, e tirou-a de seu marido Paltiel, filho de Laís.
16 And her husband went along with her, weeping as he went behind her, as far as Behurim, —when Abner said unto him—Go, return. And he returned.
E seu marido foi com ela, seguindo-a e chorando até Baurim. E disse-lhe Abner: Anda, volta-te. Então ele se voltou.
17 Then had Abner, speech, with the elders of Israel, saying, —In times past, ye were seeking David, to be king over you.
E falou Abner com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Ontem e antes procuráveis que Davi fosse rei sobre vós;
18 Now, therefore, act, —for Yahweh, spake unto David, saying, By the hand of David my servant, will I save my people Israel, out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
Agora, pois, fazei-o; porque o SENHOR falou a Davi, dizendo: Pela mão de meu servo Davi livrarei a meu povo Israel da mão dos filisteus, e da mão de todos os seus inimigos.
19 And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin, —and Abner also went to speak in the ears of David, in Hebron, all that was pleasing in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.
E falou também Abner aos de Benjamim: e foi também Abner a Hebrom a dizer a Davi todo aquele parecer dos de Israel e de toda a casa de Benjamim.
20 So, when Abner came in unto David, in Hebron, and, with him, twenty men, David made, for Abner, and for the men who were with him, a banquet.
Veio, pois, Abner a Davi em Hebrom, e com ele vinte homens: e Davi fez banquete a Abner e aos que com ele haviam vindo.
21 Then said Abner unto David—I will verily arise and go, and gather together unto my lord the king, all Israel—that they may solemnise with thee a covenant, so shalt thou reign over all that thy soul desireth. And David let Abner go, and he departed in peace.
E disse Abner a Davi: Eu me levantarei e irei, e juntarei a meu senhor o rei a todo Israel, para que façam contigo aliança, e tu reines como desejas. Davi despediu logo a Abner, e ele se foi em paz.
22 And lo! the servants of David, and Joab, came in from a raid, and, great spoil, brought they in with them; but, Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had let him go, and he had departed in peace.
E eis que os servos de Davi e Joabe, que vinham do acampamento, e traziam consigo grande presa. Mas Abner não estava com Davi em Hebrom, que já o havia ele despedido, e ele se havia ido em paz.
23 When, Joab, and all the host that was with him, had come in, then told they Joab, saying, Abner son of Ner hath been in unto the king, and he hath let him go, and he hath departed in peace.
E logo que chegou Joabe e todo aquele exército que com ele estava, foi dado aviso a Joabe, dizendo: Abner filho de Ner veio ao rei, e ele lhe despediu, e se foi em paz.
24 Then Joab came in unto the king, and said—What hast thou done? Lo! Abner came in unto thee. Wherefore is it that thou didst let him go, so that he is clean departed?
Então Joabe veio ao rei, e disse-lhe: Que fizeste? Eis que Abner veio a ti; por que pois o deixaste que se fosse?
25 Thou knowest Abner son of Ner, that, to deceive thee, he came, —and to take knowledge of thy going out, and thy coming in, and to take knowledge of all that thou art doing.
Sabes tu que Abner filho de Ner veio para enganar-te, e para saber tua saída e tua entrada, e por entender tudo o que tu fazes?
26 And, when Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the well of Sirah, —but, David, knew it not.
E saindo Joabe da presença de Davi, enviou mensageiros atrás de Abner, os quais o fizeram voltar desde o poço de Sirá, sem que Davi soubesse.
27 So Abner returned to Hebron, and Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate, to speak with him quietly, —and then smote him there, in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel the brother of Joab.
E quando Abner voltou a Hebrom, apartou-o Joabe ao meio da porta, falando com ele brandamente, e ali lhe feriu pela quinta costela, por causa da morte de Asael seu irmão, e morreu.
28 And, when David heard of it, after that, he said—Guiltless, am I and my kingdom before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, —of the blood of Abner son of Ner.
Quando Davi soube depois isto, disse: Limpo estou eu e meu reino, pelo SENHOR, para sempre, do sangue de Abner filho de Ner.
29 Let it be hurled upon the head of Joab, and against all his father’s house, —and let there not fail from the house of Joab—one that hath an issue, or a leper, or one that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
Caia sobre a cabeça de Joabe, e sobre toda a casa de seu pai; que nunca falte da casa de Joabe quem padeça fluxo, nem leproso, nem quem ande com cajado, nem quem morra à espada, nem quem tenha falta de pão.
30 Thus, Joab and Abishai his brother, slew Abner, —because he had caused the death of Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in the battle.
Então Joabe e Abisai seu irmão mataram a Abner, porque ele havia matado a Asael, irmão deles na batalha de Gibeão.
31 And David said unto Joab, and unto all the people who were with him, —Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and lament aloud before Abner. And, King David himself, was following the bier.
Então disse Davi a Joabe, e a todo aquele povo que com ele estava: Rompei vossas roupas, e cingi-vos de sacos, e fazei luto por causa de Abner. E o rei ia detrás do féretro.
32 And 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 sepultaram a Abner em Hebrom: e levantando o rei sua voz, chorou junto ao sepulcro de Abner; e chorou também todo aquele povo.
33 And the king addressed his dirge unto Abner, and said, —As a base man dieth, should Abner have died?
E lamentando o rei pelo mesmo Abner, dizia: Morreu Abner como morre um tolo?
34 Thy hands, were not bound, And, thy feet, near to fetters, were not brought, As one falleth before assassins, so didst thou fall! And again all the people wept over him.
Tuas mãos não estavam atadas, nem teus pés ligados com grilhões; caíste como os que caem diante de homens maus. E todo aquele povo voltou a chorar por causa dele.
35 And, when all the people came near to get David to eat bread, while yet it was day, David sware, saying—So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, before the sun go in, I taste bread, or anything else.
E quando todo aquele povo veio a dar de comer pão a Davi sendo ainda de dia, Davi jurou, dizendo: Assim me faça Deus e assim me acrescente, se antes que se ponha o sol provar eu pão, ou outra qualquer coisa.
36 And, all the people, took note of it, and it was noble in their eyes, —as, all that the king did, was, in the eyes of all the people, noble.
Soube-o assim todo aquele povo, e pareceu bem em seus olhos; porque tudo o que o rei fazia parecia bem em olhos de todo aquele povo.
37 So then all the people, and all Israel, took note, that day, that it was not of the king, to cause the death of Abner son of Ner.
E todo aquele povo e todo Israel entenderam aquele dia, que não havia vindo do rei que Abner filho de Ner morresse.
38 And the king said unto his servants, —Will ye not take note that, a prince and a great man, hath fallen this day, in Israel?
E o rei disse a seus servos: Não sabeis que caiu hoje em Israel um príncipe, e grande?
39 And, I myself, this day, am weak, though anointed king, but, these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are more severe than I: Yahweh repay, the doer of wickedness, according to his wickedness.
Que eu agora ainda sou tenro rei ungido; e estes homens, os filhos de Zeruia, muito duros me são; o SENHOR retribua ao que faz o mal conforme sua malícia.
