< 1 Crônicas 14 >
1 Então Hirão, rei de Tyro, mandou mensageiros a David, e madeira de cedro, e pedreiros, e carpinteiros, para lhe edificar uma casa.
One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
2 E entendeu David que o Senhor o tinha confirmado rei sobre Israel; porque o seu reino se tinha muito exaltado por amor do seu povo Israel.
[When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
3 E David tomou ainda mais mulheres em Jerusalem; e gerou David ainda mais filhos e filhas.
David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
4 E estes são os nomes dos filhos que tinha em Jerusalem: Sammua, e Shobab, Nathan, e Salomão,
The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 E Jibhar, e Elisua, e Elpelet,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 E Nogah, e Nepheg, e Japhia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 E Elisama, e Beeliada, e Eliphelet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Ouvindo pois os philisteos que David havia sido ungido rei sobre todo o Israel, todos os philisteos subiram em busca de David: o que David ouvindo, logo saiu contra elles.
When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
9 E vindo os philisteos, se estenderam pelo valle de Rephaim.
The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
10 Então consultou David a Deus, dizendo: Subirei contra os philisteos, e nas minhas mãos os entregarás? E o Senhor lhe disse: Sobe, porque os entregarei nas tuas mãos.
David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
11 E, subindo a Baal-perasim, David ali os feriu; e disse David: Por minha mão Deus derrotou a meus inimigos, como a rotura das aguas. Pelo que chamaram o nome d'aquelle logar, Baal-perasim.
So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
12 E deixaram ali seus deuses; e ordenou David que se queimassem a fogo.
[As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
13 Porém os philisteos tornaram, e se estenderam pelo valle.
But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
14 E tornou David a consultar a Deus; e disse-lhe Deus: Não subirás atraz d'elles; mas anda em roda por detraz d'elles, e vem a elles por defronte das amoreiras;
So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
15 E ha de ser que, ouvindo tu um ruido de andadura pelas copas das amoreiras, então sae á peleja; porque Deus haverá saido diante de ti, a ferir o exercito dos philisteos.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
16 E fez David como Deus lhe ordenara: e feriram o exercito dos philisteos desde Gibeon até Gazor.
So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
17 Assim se espalhou o nome de David por todas aquellas terras: e o Senhor poz o seu temor sobre todas aquellas gentes.
So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
