2 Samuel 12
1 Yahweh [told the prophet Nathan what David had done, and he] sent Nathan to tell [this story to] David: “[I heard about] two men [who] were living in a certain city. One was rich and the other was poor.
Yahweh enviou Nathan para David. Ele veio até ele e lhe disse: “Havia dois homens em uma cidade: um rico e o outro pobre.
2 The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
O homem rico tinha muitos rebanhos e rebanhos,
3 But the poor man had only one little female lamb, which he had bought. He raised the lamb, and it grew up with his children. He would give the lamb some of his own food and let it drink from his cup. He let the lamb sleep in his arms. The lamb was like a daughter to him.
mas o homem pobre não tinha nada, exceto um cordeirinho de ovelha, que ele havia comprado e criado. Ele cresceu junto com ele e com seus filhos. Comia de sua própria comida, bebia de seu próprio copo, deitava-se em seu seio e era como uma filha para ele.
4 [One day] a visitor came to [visit] the rich man. The rich man did not want to take one of his own animals [and kill it] to prepare a meal for the visitor. So instead, he stole the poor man’s lamb [and killed it] and prepared a meal for his visitor.”
Um viajante veio ao homem rico, e não queria pegar de seu próprio rebanho e de seu próprio rebanho para se preparar para o viajante que tinha vindo até ele, mas pegou o cordeiro do homem pobre e o preparou para o homem que tinha vindo até ele”.
5 [When] David [heard that, he] was very angry about [what] the rich man [had done]. He said to Nathan, “I solemnly declare that the man who did that should be executed!
A raiva de David queimou quente contra o homem, e ele disse a Nathan: “Como Yahweh vive, o homem que fez isso merece morrer!
6 But before he is executed, he should pay back to the poor man four lambs for doing this, and for not having pity [on the poor man].”
Ele deve restaurar o cordeiro quatro vezes, porque ele fez esta coisa e porque não teve piedade”!
7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man [I have been talking about]! And this is what Yahweh, the God we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I appointed you to be king of Israel, after having rescued you from Saul.
Nathan disse a David: “Você é o homem! Isto é o que Javé, o Deus de Israel, diz: “Eu te ungi rei sobre Israel, e te livrei da mão de Saul”.
8 I gave you his palace and his wives. I caused you to become the king to rule Israel and Judah. If [you had told me that] you were not content with what I gave you, I would have given you twice as much!
Eu te dei a casa de teu senhor e as esposas de teu senhor em teu seio, e te dei a casa de Israel e de Judá; e se isso tivesse sido muito pouco, eu teria acrescentado a ti muitas outras coisas assim.
9 So why have you despised my commandment [about not committing adultery]? You have done what I consider to be very evil! You have arranged for Uriah to be killed in a battle by the Ammon people-group’s soldiers, and you have taken his wife to be your wife!
Por que você desprezou a palavra de Javé, para fazer o que é mau aos olhos dele? Você golpeou Urias, o hitita, com a espada, tomou sua esposa para ser sua esposa e o matou com a espada dos filhos de Amon.
10 You have despised me, and have taken Uriah’s wife to be your wife. So for many generations some of your descendants will die violently. [MTY, PRS]
Agora, portanto, a espada nunca sairá de sua casa, porque você me desprezou e tomou Uriah, a esposa do hitita, para ser sua esposa'.
11 I solemnly declare to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble to you. I will take your wives and give them to him, and he will have sexual relations with them in the daytime, where everyone can see it, and you will know all about it.
“Isto é o que diz Javé: “Eis que levantarei o mal contra ti de tua própria casa; e tomarei tuas esposas diante de teus olhos e as darei ao teu próximo, e ele se deitará com tuas esposas à vista deste sol”.
12 What you did, you did secretly, but what I will cause to happen, everyone in Israel will be able to see it [or know about it]. [IDM]’”
Pois fizestes isto em segredo, mas farei isto diante de todo Israel, e diante do sol”.
13 David replied, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has forgiven you for your sin: You will not die [because of this sin].
David disse a Nathan: “Eu pequei contra Yahweh”. Nathan disse a David: “Yahweh também afastou seu pecado. Você não vai morrer.
14 But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will die.”
Entretanto, porque com este ato você deu grande ocasião aos inimigos de Yahweh de blasfemar, a criança que nasceu para você certamente morrerá”.
15 Then Nathan went home. Then Yahweh caused the baby t o become very sick, the one that Uriah’s wife had given birth to.
Então Nathan partiu para sua casa. Yahweh atingiu a criança que a esposa de Uriah aborreceu para David, e ele estava muito doente.
16 So David prayed to God that the child [would not die]. He (fasted/abstained from food), and he went into [the room where he slept] and lay all night on the floor.
David, portanto, implorou a Deus pela criança; e David jejuou, e entrou e passou a noite no chão.
17 [The next morning] his advisors stood around him and urged him to get up. But he would not get up, and he would not eat any food with them.
Os anciãos de sua casa se levantaram ao seu lado, para criá-lo da terra; mas ele não quis, e não comeu pão com eles.
18 One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said [to each other], “Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead [RHQ], he may do something to harm himself!”
No sétimo dia, a criança morreu. Os criados de David tiveram medo de dizer-lhe que a criança estava morta, pois disseram: “Eis que, enquanto a criança ainda estava viva, nós falamos com ele e ele não escutou nossa voz”. Como ele então se machucará se lhe dissermos que a criança está morta”?
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering something to each other, he realized that the baby must be dead. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They replied, “Yes, he is dead.”
Mas quando David viu que seus criados estavam sussurrando juntos, David percebeu que a criança estava morta; e David disse a seus criados: “A criança está morta”? Eles disseram: “Ele está morto”.
20 Then David got up from the floor. He bathed himself, put lotions on his body, and put on other clothes, Then he went into Yahweh’s Sacred Tent and worshiped Yahweh. Then he went home. He asked his servants for some food. They gave him some, and he ate it.
Então David levantou-se da terra, lavou-se e ungiu-se, e mudou de roupa; e entrou na casa de Yahweh, e adorou. Depois veio para sua própria casa; e quando pediu, puseram pão diante dele e ele comeu.
21 Then his servants said to him, “We do not understand [RHQ] why you have done this! While the baby was still alive, you cried for him and refused to eat anything. But now that the baby has died, [you are not crying any more!] You got up and ate some food!”
Então seus servos lhe disseram: “O que é isso que você fez? Você jejuou e chorou pela criança enquanto ela estava viva, mas quando a criança estava morta, você se levantou e comeu pão”.
22 David replied, “While the baby was still alive, I fasted and cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may be merciful to me and not allow the baby to die’.
Ele disse: “Enquanto a criança ainda estava viva, eu jejuei e chorei; pois eu disse: 'Quem sabe se Yahweh não será gracioso comigo, para que a criança possa viver?
23 But now the baby is dead. So (there is no reason for me to (fast/abstain from eating food) any more./why should I (fast/abstain from eating food) any more?) [RHQ] (Can I bring him back to me?/I certainly cannot bring him back to me!) [RHQ] [Some day] I will go to where he is, but he will not return to me.”
Mas agora ele está morto. Por que eu deveria jejuar? Posso trazê-lo de volta? Eu irei até ele, mas ele não voltará para mim”.
24 Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba. Then he (slept/had sexual relations) with her, and she [became pregnant again and] gave birth to another son. David named that son Solomon. Yahweh loved that little boy.
David confortou Betsabá sua esposa, e foi até ela, e deitou-se com ela. Ela deu à luz um filho, e ele chamou-o de Salomão. Javé o amava;
25 He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
e enviou pela mão de Natã o profeta, e lhe deu o nome de Jedidias, em nome de Javé.
26 (Meanwhile/While all that was happening), Joab’s [soldiers] attacked Rabbah, [the capital city] of the Ammon people-group; and they captured the king’s fortress.
Now Joab lutou contra Rabbah das crianças de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
27 Then Joab sent messengers to David, to tell him this: “My troops are attacking Rabbah, and we have captured the city’s water supply.
Joab enviou mensageiros a David, e disse: “Eu lutei contra Rabbah”. Sim, eu tomei a cidade das águas.
28 Now gather your troops and come and surround the city and capture it. If you do not do that, my troops will capture the city and it will then be named ‘the City of Joab’.”
Agora, portanto, reúnam o resto do povo, acampem-se contra a cidade e tomem-na; para que eu não tome a cidade, e ela seja chamada pelo meu nome”.
29 So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked it and captured it.
David reuniu todo o povo e foi para Rabbah, lutou contra ela e a levou.
30 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of [Milcom] the god of Rabbah) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones fastened to it. His soldiers also took many other valuable things from the city.
Ele tirou a coroa do rei deles de sua cabeça; e seu peso era um talento de ouro, e nele havia pedras preciosas; e foi colocado na cabeça de Davi. Ele trouxe uma grande quantidade de pilhagem para fora da cidade.
31 Then they brought the people of Rabbah out of the city and forced them to [work for them] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s troops also forced them to make bricks. David’s soldiers did this in all the towns of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Ele trouxe para fora as pessoas que estavam nela, e as colocou para trabalhar sob serras, sob picaretas de ferro, sob eixos de ferro, e as fez ir para o forno de tijolos; e o fez para todas as cidades das crianças de Ammon. Então Davi e todo o povo retornaram a Jerusalém.
