< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
E aconteceu depois da morte de Saul, que quando Davi voltou da derrota dos amalequitas, ficou dois dias em Ziclague;
2 On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
E ao terceiro dia aconteceu, que veio um do acampamento de Saul, rasgadas suas roupas, e terra sobre sua cabeça: e chegando a Davi, prostrou-se em terra, e fez reverência.
3 David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
E perguntou-lhe Davi: De onde vens? E ele respondeu: Eu me escapei do acampamento de Israel.
4 David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
E Davi lhe disse: Que aconteceu? Rogo-te que me digas. E ele respondeu: O povo fugiu da batalha, e também muitos do povo caíram e foram mortos: também Saul e Jônatas seu filho morreram.
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
E disse Davi àquele rapaz que lhe dava as novas: Como sabes que Saul está morto, e Jônatas seu filho?
6 The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
E o rapaz que lhe dava as novas respondeu: Casualmente vim ao monte de Gilboa, e achei a Saul que estava recostado sobre sua lança, e vinham atrás dele carros e cavaleiros.
7 Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
E quando ele olhou atrás, viu-me e chamou-me; e eu disse: Eis-me aqui.
8 He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
E ele me disse: Quem és tu? E eu lhe respondi: Sou amalequita.
9 Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
E ele me voltou a dizer: Eu te rogo que te ponhas sobre mim, e me mates, porque me tomam angústias, e toda minha alma está ainda em mim.
10 So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
Eu então me pus sobre ele, e matei-o, porque sabia que não podia viver depois de sua queda: e tomei a coroa que tinha em sua cabeça, e o bracelete que trazia em seu braço, e trouxe-os aqui a meu senhor.
11 Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
Então Davi agarrando suas roupas, rompeu-os; e o mesmo fizeram os homens que estavam com ele.
12 They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
E choraram e lamentaram, e jejuaram até à tarde, por Saul e por Jônatas seu filho, e pelo povo do SENHOR, e pela casa de Israel: porque haviam caído à espada.
13 Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
E Davi disse a aquele rapaz que lhe havia trazido as novas: De onde és tu? E ele respondeu: Eu sou filho de um estrangeiro, amalequita.
14 David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
E disse-lhe Davi: Como não tiveste temor de estender tua mão para matar ao ungido do SENHOR?
15 You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
Então chamou Davi um dos rapazes, e disse-lhe: Chega, e mata-o. E ele o feriu, e morreu.
E Davi lhe disse: Teu sangue seja sobre tua cabeça, pois que tua boca testemunhou contra ti, dizendo: Eu matei ao ungido do SENHOR.
17 Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
E lamentou Davi a Saul e a Jônatas seu filho com esta lamentação.
18 and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
(Disse também que ensinassem ao arco aos filhos de Judá. Eis que está escrito no livro do direito: )
19 “You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
Pereceu a glória de Israel sobre tuas montanhas! Como caíram os valentes!
20 “Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
Não o anuncieis em Gate, Não deis as novas nas praças de Asquelom; Para que não se alegrem as filhas dos filisteus, Para que não saltem de alegria as filhas dos incircuncisos.
21 I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
Montes de Gilboa, nem orvalho nem chuva caia sobre vós, nem sejais terras de ofertas; Porque ali foi rejeitado o escudo dos valentes, O escudo de Saul, como se não houvesse sido ungido com azeite.
22 instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
Do sangue de mortos, da gordura de valentes, o arco de Jônatas nunca retrocedeu, nem a espada de Saul voltou vazia.
23 “Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
Saul e Jônatas, amados e queridos em sua vida, Em sua morte tampouco foram separados: Mais ligeiros que águas, Mais fortes que leões.
24 “You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
Filhas de Israel, chorai sobre Saul, Que vos vestia de escarlata em regozijo, Que adornava vossas roupas com ornamentos de ouro.
25 “[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
Como caíram os valentes em meio da batalha! Jônatas, morto em tuas alturas!
26 Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
Angústia tenho por ti, irmão meu Jônatas, Que me foste muito doce: Mais maravilhoso me foi o teu amor, Que o amor das mulheres.
27 “It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
Como caíram os valentes, E pereceram as armas de guerra!
