< 2 Samuel 1 >
1 After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
E sucedeu, depois da morte de Saul, voltando David da derrota dos amalequitas, e ficando David dois dias em Siclag,
2 On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
Sucedeu ao terceiro dia que eis que um homem veio do arraial de Saul com os vestidos rotos e com terra sobre a cabeça; e, sucedeu que chegando ele a David, se lançou no chão, e se inclinou.
3 David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
E David lhe disse: de onde vens? E ele lhe disse: Escapei do exército de Israel.
4 David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
E disse-lhe David: Como foi lá isso? peço-te, dize-mo. E ele lhe respondeu: O povo fugiu da batalha, e muitos do povo cairam, e morreram, assim como também Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, foram mortos.
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
E disse David ao mancebo que lhe trazia as novas: Como sabes tu que Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, são mortos?
6 The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
Então disse o mancebo que lhe dava a notícia: Cheguei por acaso à montanha de Gilboa, e eis que Saul estava encostado sobre a sua lança, e eis que carros e capitães de cavalaria apertavam com ele.
7 Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
E, olhando ele para traz de si, viu-me a mim, e chamou-me; e eu disse: Eis-me aqui.
8 He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
E ele me disse: Quem és tu? E eu lhe disse: Sou amalekita.
9 Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
Então ele me disse: Peço-te, arremessa-te sobre mim, e mata-me, porque angústias me tem cercado, pois toda a minha vida está ainda em mim.
10 So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
Arremessei-me pois sobre ele, e o matei, porque bem sabia eu que não viveria depois da sua queda, e tomei a coroa que tinha na cabeça, e a manilha que trazia no braço, e as trouxe aqui a meu senhor.
11 Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
Então apanhou David os seus vestidos, e os rasgou, como também todos os homens que estavam com ele.
12 They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
E prantearam, e choraram, e jejuaram até à tarde por Saul, e por Jonathan, seu filho, e pelo povo do Senhor, e pela casa de Israel, porque tinham caído à espada.
13 Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
Disse então David ao mancebo que lhe trouxera a nova: de onde és tu? E disse ele: Sou filho de um homem estrangeiro, amalekita.
14 David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
E David lhe disse: Como não temeste tu estender a mão para matares ao ungido do Senhor?
15 You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
Então chamou David a um dos mancebos, e disse: Chega, e lança-te sobre ele. E ele o feriu, e morreu.
E disse-lhe David: O teu sangue seja sobre a tua cabeça, porque a tua própria boca testificou contra ti, dizendo: Eu matei o ungido do Senhor.
17 Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
E lamentou David a Saul e a Jonathan, seu filho, com esta lamentação,
18 and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
Dizendo ele que ensinassem aos filhos de Judá o uso do arco: Eis que está escrito no livro do reto:
19 “You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
Ah, ornamento de Israel! nos teus altos fui ferido: como cairam os valentes!
20 “Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
Não o noticieis em Gath, não o publiqueis nas ruas de Escalon, para que não se alegrem as filhas dos philisteus, para que não saltem de contentamento as filhas dos incircuncisos.
21 I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
Vós, montes de Gilboa, nem orvalho, nem chuva caia sobre vós, nem sobre vós, campos de ofertas alçadas, pois ai desprezivelmente foi arrojado o escudo dos valentes, o escudo de Saul, como se não fôra ungido com óleo.
22 instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
Do sangue dos feridos, da gordura dos valentes, nunca se retirou para traz o arco de Jonathan, nem voltou vazia a espada de Saul.
23 “Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
Saul e Jonathan, tão amados e queridos na sua vida, também na sua morte se não separaram: eram mais ligeiros do que as águias, mais fortes do que os leões.
24 “You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
Vós, filhas de Israel, chorai por Saul, que vos vestia de escarlata em delícias, que vos fazia trazer ornamentos de ouro sobre os vossos vestidos.
25 “[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
Como cairam os valentes no meio da peleja! Jonathan nos teus altos foi ferido,
26 Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
Angustiado estou por ti, meu irmão Jonathan; quão amabilíssimo me eras! mais maravilhoso me era o teu amor do que o amor das mulheres.
27 “It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
Como cairam os valentes, e pereceram as armas de guerra!
