1 Chronicles 14
1 One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
Então Hirão, rei de Tiro, mandou mensageiros a David, e madeira de cedro, e pedreiros, e carpinteiros, para lhe edificar uma casa.
2 [When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
E entendeu David que o Senhor o tinha confirmado rei sobre Israel; porque o seu reino se tinha muito exaltado por amor do seu povo Israel.
3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
E David tomou ainda mais mulheres em Jerusalém; e gerou David ainda mais filhos e filhas.
4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
E estes são os nomes dos filhos que tinha em Jerusalém: Sammua, e Shobab, Nathan, e Salomão,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
E Jibhar, e Elisua, e Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
E Nogah, e Nepheg, e Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
E Elisama, e Beeliada, e Eliphelet.
8 When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
Ouvindo pois os philisteus que David havia sido ungido rei sobre todo o Israel, todos os philisteus subiram em busca de David: o que David ouvindo, logo saiu contra eles.
9 The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
E vindo os philisteus, se estenderam pelo vale de Rephaim.
10 David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
Então consultou David a Deus, dizendo: Subirei contra os philisteus, e nas minhas mãos os entregarás? E o Senhor lhe disse: Sobe, porque os entregarei nas tuas mãos.
11 So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
E, subindo a Baal-perasim, David ali os feriu; e disse David: Por minha mão Deus derrotou a meus inimigos, como a rotura das águas. Pelo que chamaram o nome daquele lugar, Baal-perasim.
12 [As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
E deixaram ali seus deuses; e ordenou David que se queimassem a fogo.
13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
Porém os philisteus tornaram, e se estenderam pelo vale.
14 So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
E tornou David a consultar a Deus; e disse-lhe Deus: Não subirás atráz deles; mas anda em roda por detraz deles, e vem a eles por defronte das amoreiras;
15 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
E há de ser que, ouvindo tu um ruído de andadura pelas copas das amoreiras, então sai à peleja; porque Deus haverá saído diante de ti, a ferir o exército dos philisteus.
16 So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
E fez David como Deus lhe ordenara: e feriram o exército dos philisteus desde Gibeon até Gazor.
17 So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
Assim se espalhou o nome de David por todas aquelas terras: e o Senhor pôs o seu temor sobre todas aquelas gentes.
