2 Samuel 4
1 When Saul’s son Ishbosheth heard that Abner had been killed at Hebron, [he realized that he might also be killed]. He became discouraged, and all the Israeli people (trembled/became afraid).
Quando o filho de Saul soube que Abner estava morto em Hebron, suas mãos ficaram fracas, e todos os israelitas ficaram perturbados.
2 Ishbosheth had two officers who were leaders of groups that raided other villages. [They were brothers; ] their names were Baanah and Rechab, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth [town] in the tribe of Benjamin. Beeroth is in the area that had [been assigned to] the tribe of Benjamin.
O filho de Saul tinha dois homens que eram capitães de bandas de assalto. O nome de um era Baaná e o nome do outro Rechab, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim (pois Beerote também é considerado parte de Benjamim;
3 But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
e os Beerotitas fugiram para Gittaim, e viveram como estrangeiros até hoje).
4 Saul’s son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth. When Mephibosheth was five years old, Saul and Jonathan died in the battle. When people brought that news from Jezreel, Mephibosheth’s nursemaid picked him up and ran away. She ran very fast, with the result that she dropped him, and his legs became crippled.
Agora Jonathan, filho de Saul, tinha um filho que era coxo nos pés. Ele tinha cinco anos quando a notícia sobre Saul e Jonathan saiu de Jezreel; e sua enfermeira o pegou e fugiu. Quando ela se apressou a fugir, ele caiu e ficou coxo. Seu nome era Mephibosheth.
5 One day, Rechab and Baanah left [their home] to go to Ishbosheth’s house. They arrived there about noontime, when Ishbosheth was taking his midday nap.
Os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerothite, Rechab e Baanah, saíram e chegaram por volta do calor do dia à casa de Ishbosheth enquanto ele descansava ao meio-dia.
6 The woman who was the doorkeeper was sifting wheat. While doing that, she became sleepy, and fell asleep. So Rechab and his brother Baanah were able to creep in quietly.
Eles chegaram lá no meio da casa como se tivessem buscado trigo, e o atingiram no corpo; e Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, escaparam.
7 They entered Ishbosheth’s bedroom, where he was sleeping. They killed him [with their swords] and cut off his head. They carried his head and walked all night through the Jordan [River] Valley.
Agora quando entraram na casa enquanto ele estava deitado em sua cama em seu quarto, o atingiram, o mataram, o decapitaram e lhe tiraram a cabeça, e foram pelo caminho do Arabah a noite toda.
8 They took the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron. They said to him, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul, who tried to kill you. Your majesty, today Yahweh has allowed you to get revenge on Saul and his descendants!”
Eles trouxeram a cabeça de Ishbosheth para David em Hebron, e disseram ao rei: “Eis a cabeça de Ishbosheth, o filho de Saul, seu inimigo, que procurava sua vida! Javé vingou hoje meu senhor, o rei de Saul e de sua descendência”.”
9 But David replied to them, “Yahweh is the one who has rescued me from all my troubles. And just as surely as Yahweh lives, what I am now saying is also true.
David respondeu a Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotíco, e lhes disse: “Como Javé vive, que redimiu minha alma de toda adversidade,
10 When a messenger came to Ziklag and told me ‘Saul is dead!’ and he thought that the news that he was bringing to me was good news, I seized him and [commanded one of my soldiers to] kill him. That was the reward I gave to him for his news!
quando alguém me disse: 'Eis que Saul está morto', pensando que trazia boas novas, eu o agarrei e o matei em Ziklag, que foi a recompensa que lhe dei por suas notícias.
11 So because you two evil men murdered a man who is (innocent/has done nothing wrong) when he was sleeping on his bed in his own house, I will do something worse to you. I will surely [RHQ] get revenge on you two for murdering [MTY] him, and (wipe you/cause you to disappear) from the earth!”
Quanto mais, quando homens perversos mataram uma pessoa justa em sua própria casa, em sua cama, não deveria eu agora exigir seu sangue de sua mão, e livrar a terra de você”?
12 Then, following David’s orders, his soldiers killed the two men, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hung their bodies (OR, their hands and feet) [on a pole] near the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it [respectfully] in the tomb of Abner, there at Hebron.
David comandou seus jovens, e eles os mataram, cortaram suas mãos e seus pés, e os penduraram ao lado da piscina em Hebron. Mas eles pegaram a cabeça de Ishbosheth e a enterraram no túmulo de Abner em Hebron.
