2 Samuel 16
1 When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.
E passando David um pouco mais adiante do cume, eis que Ziba, o moço de Mephiboseth, veio encontrar-se com ele, com um par de jumentos albardados, e sobre eles duzentos pães, com cem cachos de passas, e cem de frutas de verão e um odre de vinho.
2 The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become exhausted in the desert.”
E disse o rei a Ziba: Que pretendes com isto? E disse Ziba: Os jumentos são para a casa do rei, para se montarem neles; e o pão e as frutas de verão para comerem os moços; e o vinho para beberem os cançados no deserto.
3 The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
Então disse o rei: Ora, onde está o filho de teu senhor? E disse Ziba ao rei: Eis que ficou em Jerusalém; porque disse: Hoje me restaurará a casa de Israel o reino de meu pai.
4 The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
Então disse o rei a Ziba: Eis que teu é tudo quanto tem Mephiboseth. E disse Ziba: Eu me inclino, que eu ache graça em teus olhos, ó rei meu senhor.
5 When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David as he approached.
E, chegando o rei David a Bahurim, eis que dali saiu um homem da linhagem da casa de Saul, cujo nome era Simei, filho de Gera, e, saindo, ia amaldiçoando.
6 Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
E apedrejava com pedras a David, e a todos os servos do rei David: ainda que todo o povo e todos os valentes iam à sua direita e à sua esquerda.
7 Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
E, amaldiçoando-o Simei, assim dizia: sai, sai, homem de sangue, e homem de Belial:
8 Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
O Senhor te deu agora a paga de todo o sangue da casa de Saul, em cujo lugar tens reinado; já deu o Senhor o reino na mão de Absalão teu filho; e eis-te agora na tua desgraça, porque és um homem de sangue.
9 Then Abishai said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut off his head!”
Então disse Abisai, filho de Zeruia, ao rei: Porque amaldiçoaria este cão morto ao rei meu senhor? Deixa-me passar, e lhe tirarei a cabeça.
10 But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
Disse porém o rei: Que tenho eu convosco, filhos de Zeruia? Ora deixai-o amaldiçoar; pois o Senhor lhe disse: Amaldiçôa a David; quem pois diria: Porque assim fizeste?
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
Disse mais David a Abisai, e a todos os seus servos: Eis que meu filho, que saiu das minhas entranhas, procura a minha morte: quanto mais ainda este filho de Jemini? deixai-o, que amaldiçoe; porque o Senhor lho disse.
12 Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing me today.”
Porventura o Senhor olhará para a minha miséria: e o Senhor me pagará com bem sua maldição deste dia
13 Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
Proseguiam pois o seu caminho, David e os seus homens: e também Simei ia ao longo do monte, defronte dele, caminhando e amaldiçoando, e atirava pedras contra ele, e levantava poeira.
14 When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
E o rei e todo o povo que ia com ele chegaram cansados, e refrescaram-se ali.
15 While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
Absalão pois, e todo o povo, os homens de Israel, vieram a Jerusalém: e Achitophel com ele.
16 When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
E sucedeu que, chegando Husai, o archita, amigo de David, a Absalão, disse Husai a Absalão: Viva o rei, viva o rei!
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
Porém Absalão disse a Husai: É esta a tua beneficência para com o teu amigo? Porque não foste com o teu amigo?
18 Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
E disse Husai a Absalão: Não, porém daquele que eleger o Senhor, e todo este povo, e todos os homens de Israel, dele serei e com ele ficarei.
19 You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
E, demais disto, a quem serviria eu? Porventura não seria diante de seu filho? Como servi diante de teu pai, assim serei diante de ti.
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should do?”
Então disse Absalão a Achitophel: dai conselho entre vós sobre o que devemos fazer.
21 Ahithophel replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
E disse Achitophel a Absalão: Entra às concubinas de teu pai, que deixou para guardarem a casa; e assim todo o Israel ouvirá que te fizeste aborrecível para com teu pai; e se esforçarão as mãos de todos os que estão contigo.
22 So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
Estenderam pois para Absalão uma tenda no terrado: e entrou Absalão às concubinas de seu pai, perante os olhos de todo o Israel.
23 In those days, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
E era o conselho de Achitophel, que aconselhava naqueles dias, como se a palavra de Deus se consultara: tal era todo o conselho de Achitophel, assim para com David como para com Absalão.
