2 Samuel 21
1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
Houve uma fome nos dias de David durante três anos, ano após ano; e David procurou a face de Yahweh. Yahweh disse: “É por Saul, e por sua casa sangrenta, porque ele matou os gibeonitas”.
2 The king called the Gibeonites and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
O rei chamou os gibeonitas e disse-lhes (agora os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas do remanescente dos amorreus, e os filhos de Israel lhes haviam jurado; e Saul procurou matá-los em seu zelo pelos filhos de Israel e Judá);
3 and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless Yahweh’s inheritance?”
e Davi disse aos gibeonitas: “O que devo fazer por vocês? E com o que devo fazer expiação, para que possais abençoar a herança de Javé”?
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
Os gibeonitas lhe disseram: “Não é questão de prata ou ouro entre nós e Saul ou sua casa; tampouco nos cabe a nós colocar qualquer homem à morte em Israel”. Ele disse: “Eu farei por você o que você disser”.
5 They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
Disseram ao rei: “O homem que nos consumiu e que conspirou contra nós, que devemos ser destruídos de permanecer em qualquer das fronteiras de Israel,
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” The king said, “I will give them.”
que sete homens de seus filhos nos sejam entregues, e os penduraremos a Javé em Gibeá de Saul, o escolhido de Javé”. O rei disse: “Eu lhes darei”.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Mas o rei poupou Mephibosheth, filho de Jonathan, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento de Yahweh que estava entre eles, entre David e Jonathan, filho de Saul.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Mas o rei levou os dois filhos de Rizpah, a filha de Aiá, que ela deu a Saul, Armoni e Mephibosheth; e os cinco filhos de Merab, a filha de Saul, que ela deu a Adriel, filho de Barzillai, o meholatita.
9 He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
Ele os entregou nas mãos dos gibeonitas; e eles os enforcaram na montanha antes de Yahweh, e todos os sete caíram juntos. Eles foram mortos nos dias da colheita, nos primeiros dias, no início da colheita da cevada.
10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
Rizpah a filha de Aiah pegou pano de saco e o espalhou para si mesma sobre a rocha, desde o início da colheita até a água derramada sobre eles do céu. Ela não permitiu que as aves do céu descansassem sobre eles de dia, nem que os animais do campo descansassem sobre eles à noite.
11 David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
David foi informado do que Rizpah, a filha de Aiah, a concubina de Saul, havia feito.
12 So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
Então Davi foi e levou os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho dos homens de Jabesh Gilead, que os haviam roubado da rua de Beth Shan, onde os filisteus os haviam enforcado no dia em que os filisteus mataram Saul em Gilboa;
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
e ele trouxe de lá os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho. Eles também reuniram os ossos daqueles que foram enforcados.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.
Eles enterraram os ossos de Saul e de Jônatas seu filho no país de Benjamim em Zela, no túmulo de Kish, seu pai; e realizaram tudo o que o rei ordenou. Depois disso, Deus respondeu à oração pela terra.
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
Os filisteus voltaram a ter guerra com Israel; e David desceu, e seus servos com ele, e lutou contra os filisteus. Davi desmaiou;
16 and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David.
e Ishbibenob, que era dos filhos do gigante, cuja lança pesava trezentos siclos de bronze, estando ele armado com uma nova espada, pensou que mataria Davi.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
Mas Abishai, filho de Zeruiah, o ajudou, atingiu o filisteu e o matou. Então os homens de Davi juraram-lhe, dizendo: “Não saia mais conosco para lutar, para que não apague a lâmpada de Israel”.
18 After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
Depois disso, houve novamente uma guerra com os filisteus de Gob. Então Sibbecai, o Hushathite, matou Saph, que era dos filhos do gigante.
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Houve novamente guerra com os filisteus em Gob, e Elhanan, o filho de Jaare-Oregim, o belemita, matou Golias, o irmão de Gittita, cujo bastão era como uma lança de tecelão.
20 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
Houve novamente uma guerra em Gate, onde havia um homem de grande estatura, que tinha seis dedos em cada mão e seis dedos dos pés em cada pé, vinte e quatro em número, e ele também nasceu para o gigante.
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
Quando ele desafiou Israel, Jonathan, filho de Shimei, irmão de David, o matou.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
Estes quatro nasceram para o gigante em Gate; e caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão de seus servos.
