2 Samuel 15
1 Some time later, Absalom acquired a chariot and horses [to pull it]. He [hired] 50 men to run in front of him [to honor him while he was riding around Jerusalem in the chariot].
E aconteceu depois disto que Absalão fez aparelhar carros e cavalos, e cincoênta homens que corressem adiante dele.
2 Furthermore, he always rose early [each morning] and stood by the city gate. Whenever someone came there with a dispute/quarrel that he wanted the king to decide, Absalom would call out to him, asking “What city are you from?” When the person told him what [city and] tribe he was from,
Também Absalão se levantou pela manhã, e parava a uma banda do caminho da porta. E sucedia que a todo o homem que tinha alguma demanda para vir ao rei a juízo, o chamava Absalão a si, e lhe dizia: De que cidade és tu? E, dizendo ele: de uma das tribos de Israel é teu servo;
3 Absalom would say to him, “Listen, [I am sure that] what you are saying/claiming is right. But there is no one whom the king has appointed/authorized to listen to [people like] you.”
Então Absalão lhe dizia: Olha, os teus negócios são bons e retos, porém não tens quem te ouça da parte do rei.
4 Absalom would then add, “I wish that I were a judge in this land. If I were a judge, anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would decide it fairly/justly.”
Dizia mais Absalão: Ah, quem me dera ser juiz na terra! para que viesse a mim todo o homem que tivesse demanda ou questão, para que lhe fizesse justiça.
5 And whenever anyone came near to Absalom to bow respectfully in front of him, Absalom would reach out and embrace him and kiss him.
Sucedia também que, quando alguém se chegava a ele para se inclinar diante dele, ele estendia a sua mão, e pegava dele, e o beijava.
6 Absalom did this to everyone in Israel who came to the king because of having a dispute with someone. In that way, Absalom persuaded all the Israeli people to be more pleased with him [IDM] [than they were pleased with David].
E desta maneira fazia Absalão a todo o Israel que vinha ao rei para juízo: assim furtava Absalão o coração dos homens de Israel.
7 Four years later, Absalom [went to] the king and said, “Please allow me to go to Hebron [city], in order that I can do what I promised Yahweh that I would do.
Aconteceu, pois, ao cabo de quarenta anos, que Absalão disse ao rei: Deixa-me ir pagar em Hebron o meu voto que votei ao Senhor.
8 When I was living in Geshur, in Syria, I promised Yahweh that if he brought me back to Jerusalem, I would worship him [in Hebron].”
Porque, morando eu em Gesur, em Síria, votou o teu servo um voto, dizendo: Se o Senhor outra vez me fizer tornar a Jerusalém, servirei ao Senhor.
9 The king replied, “You may go.” So Absalom went to Hebron.
Então lhe disse o rei: vai em paz. Levantou-se, pois, e foi para Hebron.
10 But [while he was there, ] he secretly sent messengers to all the tribes in Israel, to tell them, “When you hear the sound of the trumpets [being blown], shout ‘Absalom has become the king at Hebron!’”
E enviou Absalão espias por todas as tribos de Israel, dizendo: Quando ouvirdes o som das trombetas, direis: Absalão reina em Hebron.
11 Absalom had taken with him to Hebron 200 men from Jerusalem, but they did not know [what Absalom was planning to do].
E de Jerusalém foram com Absalão duzentos homens convidados, porém iam na sua simplicidade, porque nada sabiam daquele negócio.
12 While Absalom was offering sacrifices [at Hebron], he sent a message to Ahithophel, from Giloh [town], requesting him to come. Ahithophel was one of the king’s advisors. So the number of people who joined Absalom and who were ready to rebel [against David] became larger.
Também Absalão enviou por Achitophel, o gilonita, do conselho de David, à sua cidade de Gilo, estando ele sacrificando os seus sacrifícios: e a conjuração se fortificava, e vinha o povo, e se aumentava com Absalão.
13 Soon a messenger came to David and said to him, “All [HYP] the Israeli people [SYN] are joining Absalom to rebel against you!”
Então veio um mensageiro a David, dizendo: O coração de cada um em Israel segue a Absalão.
14 So David said to all his officials, “We must leave immediately if we want to escape from Absalom! We must go quickly, before he [and his men] arrive. If we do not do that, they will kill us and everyone else in the city!”
Disse pois David a todos os seus servos que estavam com ele em Jerusalém: levantai-vos, e fujamos, porque não poderiamos escapar diante de Absalão. dai-vos pressa a caminhar, para que porventura não se apresse ele, e nos alcance, e lance sobre nós algum mal, e fira a cidade a fio de espada.
15 The king’s officials said, “Okay, your majesty, we are ready to do whatever you decide.”
Então os servos do rei disseram ao rei: Eis aqui os teus servos, para tudo quanto determinar o rei, nosso senhor.
16 So the king left ten of his slave wives there to take care of the palace, but all the other people in his palace went with him.
E saiu o rei, com toda a sua casa, a pé: deixou porém o rei dez mulheres concubinas, para guardarem a casa.
17 When they all were leaving [the city], they stopped at the last house.
Tendo pois saído o rei com todo o povo a pé, pararam num lugar distante.
18 The king and his officials stood there while his bodyguards went by in front of him. 600 soldiers from Gath [city] also walked by in front of him.
E todos os seus servos iam a seu lado, como também todos os cheretheus e todos os peletheus: e todos os getheos, seiscentos homens que vieram de Gath a pé, caminhavam diante do rei.
19 Then David said to Ittai, [the leader of the soldiers] from Gath, “(Why are you going with us?/You should not be going with us.) [RHQ] Go back and stay with [Absalom] the [new] king. You are not an Israeli; you are living away from your own land.
Disse pois o rei a Ittai, o getheu: Porque irias tu também conosco? Volta, e fica-te com o rei, porque estranho és, e também te tornarás a teu lugar.
20 You have lived here [in Israel] for only a short time [HYP]. And we do not even know where we will be going. So it is not right [RHQ] for me to force you to wander around with us. And take your troops with you. And I hope/wish that Yahweh will faithfully love and be loyal to you.”
Ontem vieste, e te levaria eu hoje conosco a caminhar? Pois força me é ir aonde quer que poder ir: volta, pois, e torna a levar teus irmãos contigo, com beneficência e fidelidade.
21 But Ittai replied, “Your Majesty, as surely as you live, wherever you go, I will go; I will stay with you, whether they kill me or allow me to live.”
Respondeu porém Ittai ao rei, e disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive o rei meu senhor, que no lugar em que estiver o rei meu senhor, seja para morte seja para vida, ai certamente estará também o teu servidor.
22 David replied to Ittai, “Okay, march with us!” So Ittai and all his troops and their families went [with David].
Então David disse a Ittai: Vem pois, e passa adiante. Assim passou Ittai, o getheu, e todos os seus homens, e todas as crianças que havia com ele.
23 All the people [along the road] cried when they saw them walking by. The king and all the others crossed the Kidron Valley and then they all went [up the hill] toward the desert.
E toda a terra chorava a grandes vozes, passando todo o povo: também o rei passou o ribeiro de Cedron, e passou todo o povo na direção do caminho do deserto.
24 Abiathar and Zadok, [the priests, ] were walking with them. The descendants of Levi [who helped the priests] also went with them, carrying the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments. But they set it on the ground until all the others had left the city.
Eis que também Zadok ali estava, e com ele todos os levitas que levavam a arca do concerto de Deus; e puseram ali a arca de Deus, e subiu Abiathar, até que todo o povo acabou de passar da cidade.
25 Then the king said to Zadok, “You and Abiathar take the sacred chest back into the city. If Yahweh is pleased with me, he will some day allow me to return to see it and the place where it is kept.
Então disse o rei a Zadok: Torna a levar a arca de Deus à cidade; que, se achar graça nos olhos do Senhor, ele me tornará a trazer para lá, e me deixará ver a ela e a sua habitação.
26 But if he says that he is not pleased with me, then I am willing for him to do to me whatever he thinks is good.”
Se porém disser assim: Não tenho prazer em ti; eis-me aqui, faça de mim como parecer bem aos seus olhos.
27 He also said to Zadok, “Listen [to what I suggest]. You and Abiathar return to the city peacefully/safely, and take your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan with you.
Disse mais o rei a Zadok, o sacerdote: Não és tu porventura o vidente? torna pois em paz para a cidade, e convosco também vossos dois filhos, Ahimaas, teu filho, e Jonathan, filho de Abiathar.
28 I will wait in the desert at the place where people can walk across the river, until you send a message to me.”
Olhai que me demorarei nas campinas do deserto até que tenha novas vossas.
29 So Zadok and Abiathar carried the sacred chest back to Jerusalem, and they stayed there.
Zadok pois e Abiathar tornaram a levar para Jerusalém a arca de Deus: e ficaram ali.
30 David [and those with him] went up Olive [Tree] Hill. David was crying while he walked. He was walking barefoot and had something covering his head [to show that he was sorrowful]. All those who were going with him also covered their heads and were crying while they walked.
E subiu David pela subida das oliveiras, subindo e chorando, e com a cabeça coberta; e caminhava com os pés descalços: e todo o povo que ia com ele cobria cada um a sua cabeça, e subiam chorando sem cessar.
31 Someone told David that Ahithophel had joined with those who were rebelling against David. So David prayed, “Yahweh, cause whatever Ahithophel suggests to Absalom [that he should do to be considered] to be foolish!”
Então fizeram saber a David, dizendo: também Achitophel está entre os que se conjuraram com Absalão. Pelo que disse David: Ó Senhor, enlouquece o conselho de Achitophel.
32 When they arrived at the top of the hill, where there was a place where the people worshiped [God], suddenly Hushai, from the Arki people-group, met David. He had torn his clothes and put dirt on his head [to show that he was very sad].
E aconteceu, que chegando David ao cume, para adorar ali a Deus, eis que Husai, o archita, veio encontrar-se com ele com o vestido rasgado e terra sobre a cabeça.
33 David said to him, “If you go with me, you will not be able to help me.
E disse-lhe David: Se passares comigo, ser-me-ás pesado.
34 But if you return to the city, [you can help me by] saying to Absalom, ‘Your Majesty, I will serve you as faithfully as I served your father.’ If you do that [and stay near Absalom], you will be able to oppose any advice that Ahithophel gives to Absalom.
Porém se voltares para a cidade, e disseres a Absalão: Eu serei, ó rei, teu servo; bem fui de antes servo de teu pai, mas agora serei teu servo: dissipar-me-ás então o conselho de Achitophel.
35 Zadok and Abiathar the priests are already there [RHQ]. Whatever you hear people say in the king’s palace, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar.
E não estão ali contigo Zadok e Abiathar, sacerdotes? E será que todas as coisas que ouvires da casa do rei, farás saber a Zadok e a Abiathar, sacerdotes.
36 Keep in mind that Zadok’s son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan are also there. You can tell them whatever you find out, and send them to report it to me.”
Eis que estão também ali com eles seus dois filhos, Ahimaas filho de Zadok, e Jonathan filho de Abiathar: pela mão deles aviso me mandareis pois de todas as coisas que ouvirdes.
37 So David’s friend Hushai returned to the city, at the same time that Absalom was entering Jerusalem.
Husai pois, amigo de David, veio para a cidade: e Absalão entrou em Jerusalém.
