2 Samuel 23
1 David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
Now estas são as últimas palavras de David. David, o filho de Jesse, diz, o homem que foi criado no alto diz, o ungido do Deus de Jacob, o doce salmista de Israel:
2 “The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
“O Espírito de Yahweh falou por mim. Sua palavra estava na minha língua.
3 God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
Disse o Deus de Israel, a Rocha de Israel falou comigo, “Aquele que rege sobre os homens com retidão, que reina no temor de Deus,
4 They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
será como a luz da manhã quando o sol nascer, uma manhã sem nuvens, quando a tenra grama brota da terra, através de um claro brilho após a chuva”.
5 And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
Minha casa não é assim com Deus? No entanto, ele fez comigo um pacto eterno, encomendado em todas as coisas, e com certeza, pois é toda a minha salvação e todo o meu desejo. Ele não vai fazê-lo crescer?
6 But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
Mas todos os ímpios serão como espinhos a serem empurrados para longe, porque elas não podem ser tomadas com a mão.
7 Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
O homem que os toca deve estar armado com ferro e com o bastão de uma lança. Eles serão totalmente queimados com fogo em seu lugar”.
8 These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
Estes são os nomes dos homens poderosos que David tinha: Josheb Basshebeth, um tahchemonita, chefe dos capitães; chamava-se Adino, o Eznite, que matou oitocentos de uma só vez.
9 The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
Depois dele foi Eleazar, filho de Dodai, filho de um Ahohite, um dos três homens poderosos com Davi quando desafiaram os filisteus que estavam ali reunidos para a batalha, e os homens de Israel tinham ido embora.
10 but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
Ele se levantou e atingiu os filisteus até que sua mão se cansou, e sua mão congelou até a espada; e Javé trabalhou uma grande vitória naquele dia; e o povo voltou atrás dele apenas para saquear.
11 The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
Depois dele foi Shammah, o filho de Agee a Hararite. Os filisteus tinham se reunido em uma tropa onde havia um terreno cheio de lentilhas; e o povo fugiu dos filisteus.
12 but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
Mas ele ficou no meio da trama e a defendeu, e matou os filisteus; e Yahweh trabalhou uma grande vitória.
13 Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
Três dos trinta chefes desceram, e vieram a David na época da colheita para a caverna de Adullam; e a tropa dos filisteus estava acampada no vale de Rephaim.
14 David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
David estava então na fortaleza; e a guarnição dos filisteus estava então em Belém.
15 [One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
David disse longamente: “Oh, que alguém me desse água para beber do poço de Belém, que está junto ao portão”!
16 So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
Os três poderosos atravessaram o exército dos filisteus e tiraram água do poço de Belém que estava junto ao portão e a levaram e trouxeram a Davi; mas ele não quis beber dela, mas derramou-a para Iavé.
17 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
Ele disse: “Fique longe de mim, Yahweh, que eu deveria fazer isto! Não é este o sangue dos homens que arriscaram suas vidas para ir embora?”. Portanto, ele não o beberia. Os três homens poderosos fizeram estas coisas.
18 Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
Abishai, o irmão de Joab, filho de Zeruiah, era o chefe dos três. Ele ergueu sua lança contra trezentos e os matou, e tinha um nome entre os três.
19 He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
Wasn ele não era o mais honrado dos três? Portanto, ele foi nomeado seu capitão. Entretanto, ele não foi incluído como um dos três.
20 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
Benaiah, filho de Jehoiada, filho de um valente homem de Kabzeel, que tinha feito grandes feitos, matou os dois filhos de Ariel de Moab. Ele também desceu e matou um leão no meio de um poço em um tempo de neve.
21 He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
Ele matou um egípcio enorme, e o egípcio tinha uma lança na mão; mas ele desceu até ele com um bastão e arrancou a lança da mão do egípcio, e o matou com sua própria lança.
22 Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
Benaiah, o filho de Jehoiada, fez estas coisas e tinha um nome entre os três homens poderosos.
23 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
Ele era mais honrado do que os trinta, mas não chegou aos três. David o colocou por cima de sua guarda.
