2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel unto David, in Hebron, —and spake, saying—Behold us! thy bone and thy flesh, we are.

Então todas as tribus d'Israel vieram a David, a Hebron, e fallaram, dizendo: Eis-nos aqui, teus ossos e tua carne somos.

2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou, wast he that led out and brought in, Israel, —and Yahweh said to thee—Thou, shalt be shepherd unto my people, Israel, and, thou, shalt become leader over Israel.

E tambem d'antes, sendo Saul ainda rei sobre nós, eras tu o que sahias e entravas com Israel; e tambem o Senhor te disse: Tu apascentarás o meu povo d'Israel, e tu serás chefe sobre Israel.

3 So all the elders of Israel came unto the king, in Hebron, and King David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel.

Assim pois todos os anciãos d'Israel vieram ao rei, a Hebron; e o rei David fez com elles alliança em Hebron, perante o Senhor: e ungiram a David rei sobre Israel.

4 Thirty years old, was David when he began to reign, —forty years, he reigned:

Da edade de trinta annos era David quando começou a reinar: quarenta annos reinou.

5 in Hebron, reigned he over Judah, seven years, and six months, —and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.

Em Hebron reinou sobre Judah sete annos e seis mezes, e em Jerusalem reinou trinta e tres annos sobre todo o Israel e Judah.

6 Then went the king and his men, to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites, inhabiting the land, —and they spake to David, saying—Thou canst not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind and lame—Thinking, David will not come in hither.

E partiu o rei com os seus homens a Jerusalem, contra os jebuseos que habitavam n'aquella terra; e fallaram a David, dizendo: Não entrarás aqui, que os cegos e os côxos te rechaçaram d'aqui (querendo dizer: Não entrará David aqui)

7 So then David captured the citadel of Zion, —the same, is the city of David.

Porém David tomou a fortaleza de Sião: esta é a cidade de David.

8 And David said, on that day—Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul, —for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place.

Porque David disse n'aquelle dia: Qualquer que ferir aos jebuseos, e chegar ao canal, e aos côxos e aos cegos, que a alma de David aborrece, será cabeça e capitão. Por isso se diz: Nem cego nem côxo entrará n'esta casa.

9 So then David dwelt in the citadel, and called it, The City of David, —and David built round about, from Millo and inwards.

Assim habitou David na fortaleza, e a chamou a cidade de David: e David foi edificando em redor, desde Millo até dentro.

10 And David went on and on waxing great, —Yahweh, God of hosts, being with him.

E David se ia cada vez mais augmentando e crescendo, porque o Senhor Deus dos exercitos era com elle.

11 Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers unto David, with cedar-wood, and carpenters, and masons, and they built a house for David.

E Hirão, rei de Tyro, enviou mensageiros a David, e madeira de cedro, e carpinteiros, e pedreiros: edificaram a David uma casa.

12 So David perceived that Yahweh had established him to be king over Israel, —and that he had exalted his kingdom, for the sake of his people Israel.

E entendeu David que o Senhor o confirmara rei sobre Israel, e que exaltara o seu reino por amor do seu povo.

13 And David took him yet more concubines and wives, out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron, and there were, yet further, born unto David, sons and daughters.

E tomou David mais concubinas e mulheres de Jerusalem, depois que viera de Hebron: e nasceram a David mais filhos e filhas.

14 Now, these, are the names of the sons who were born unto him in Jerusalem, —Shammua and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;

E estes são os nomes dos que lhe nasceram em Jerusalem: Sammua, e Sobab, e Nathan, e Salomão,

15 and Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Yaphia;

E Ibhar, e Elisua, e Nepheg, e Japhia,

16 and Elishama and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

E Elisama, e Eliada, e Eliphelet.

17 And, when the Philistine heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel, then came up all the Philistines to seek to secure David, and David heard of it, and went down into the citadel.

Ouvindo pois os philisteos que haviam ungido a David rei sobre Israel, todos os philisteos subiram em busca de David: o que ouvindo David, desceu á fortaleza.

18 Now, the Philistines, had come, —and had spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.

E os philisteos vieram, e se estenderam pelo valle de Rephaim.

19 So then David enquired of Yahweh, saying, —Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said unto David—Go up; for I, will surely deliver, the Philistines into thy hand.

E David consultou ao Senhor, dizendo: Subirei contra os philisteos? entregar-m'os-has nas minhas mãos? E disse o Senhor a David: Sobe, porque certamente entregarei os philisteos nas tuas mãos.

20 And David entered Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said—Yahweh hath broken forth upon mine enemies, before me, like a breaking forth of waters. For this cause, called he the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

Então veiu David a Baal-perasim; e feriu-os ali David, e disse: Rompeu o Senhor a meus inimigos diante de mim, como quem rompe aguas. Por isso chamou o nome d'aquelle logar Baal-perasim.

21 And they left their images there, —and David and his men took them away.

E deixaram ali os seus idolos; e David e os seus homens os tomaram.

22 And, yet again, did the Philistines come up, —and they spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.

E os philisteos tornaram a subir, e se estenderam pelo valle de Rephaim.

23 So David enquired of Yahweh, and he said—Thou shalt not go up, —Get round behind them, and come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees.

E David consultou ao Senhor, o qual disse: Não subirás: mas rodeia por detraz d'elles, e virás a elles por defronte das amoreiras.

24 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou act with decision, —for, then, will Yahweh have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

E ha de ser que, ouvindo tu um estrondo de marcha pelas copas das amoreiras, então te apressarás: porque o Senhor saiu então diante de ti, a ferir o arraial dos philisteos.

25 And David did so, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and smote the Philistines, from Gibeon until thou enterest Gezer.

E fez David assim como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado: e feriu os philisteos desde Gibeah, até chegar a Gezer.
