2 Samuel 1
1 E succedeu, depois da morte de Saul, voltando David da derrota dos amalekitas, e ficando David dois dias em Siclag,
Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
2 Succedeu ao terceiro dia que eis que um homem veiu do arraial de Saul com os vestidos rotos e com terra sobre a cabeça; e, succedeu que chegando elle a David, se lançou no chão, e se inclinou.
Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
3 E David lhe disse: D'onde vens? E elle lhe disse: Escapei do exercito d'Israel.
And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”
4 E disse-lhe David: Como foi lá isso? peço-te, dize-m'o. E elle lhe respondeu: O povo fugiu da batalha, e muitos do povo cairam, e morreram, assim como tambem Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, foram mortos.
And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
5 E disse David ao mancebo que lhe trazia as novas: Como sabes tu que Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, são mortos?
And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
6 Então disse o mancebo que lhe dava a noticia: Cheguei por acaso á montanha de Gilboa, e eis que Saul estava encostado sobre a sua lança, e eis que carros e capitães de cavallaria apertavam com elle.
And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
7 E, olhando elle para traz de si, viu-me a mim, e chamou-me; e eu disse: Eis-me aqui.
And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
8 E elle me disse: Quem és tu? E eu lhe disse: Sou amalekita.
he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”
9 Então elle me disse: Peço-te, arremessa-te sobre mim, e mata-me, porque angustias me teem cercado, pois toda a minha vida está ainda em mim.
And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”
10 Arremessei-me pois sobre elle, e o matei, porque bem sabia eu que não viveria depois da sua queda, e tomei a corôa que tinha na cabeça, e a manilha que trazia no braço, e as trouxe aqui a meu senhor.
And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
11 Então apanhou David os seus vestidos, e os rasgou, como tambem todos os homens que estavam com elle.
Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.
12 E prantearam, e choraram, e jejuaram até á tarde por Saul, e por Jonathan, seu filho, e pelo povo do Senhor, e pela casa de Israel, porque tinham caido á espada.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Disse então David ao mancebo que lhe trouxera a nova: D'onde és tu? E disse elle: Sou filho de um homem estrangeiro, amalekita.
And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
14 E David lhe disse: Como não temeste tu estender a mão para matares ao ungido do Senhor?
And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
15 Então chamou David a um dos mancebos, e disse: Chega, e lança-te sobre elle. E elle o feriu, e morreu.
And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
16 E disse-lhe David: O teu sangue seja sobre a tua cabeça, porque a tua propria bocca testificou contra ti, dizendo: Eu matei o ungido do Senhor.
And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
17 E lamentou David a Saul e a Jonathan, seu filho, com esta lamentação,
Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
18 Dizendo elle que ensinassem aos filhos de Judah o uso do arco: Eis que está escripto no livro do Recto:
(And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
19 Ah, ornamento d'Israel! nos teus altos fui ferido: como cairam os valentes!
The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
20 Não o noticieis em Gath, não o publiqueis nas ruas d'Ascalon, para que não se alegrem as filhas dos philisteos, para que não saltem de contentamento as filhas dos incircumcisos.
Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
21 Vós, montes de Gilboa, nem orvalho, nem chuva caia sobre vós, nem sobre vós, campos de offertas alçadas, pois ahi desprezivelmente foi arrojado o escudo dos valentes, o escudo de Saul, como se não fôra ungido com oleo.
O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.
22 Do sangue dos feridos, da gordura dos valentes, nunca se retirou para traz o arco de Jonathan, nem voltou vazia a espada de Saul.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Saul e Jonathan, tão amados e queridos na sua vida, tambem na sua morte se não separaram: eram mais ligeiros do que as aguias, mais fortes do que os leões.
Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 Vós, filhas d'Israel, chorae por Saul, que vos vestia de escarlata em delicias, que vos fazia trazer ornamentos de oiro sobre os vossos vestidos.
O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
25 Como cairam os valentes no meio da peleja! Jonathan nos teus altos foi ferido,
How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
26 Angustiado estou por ti, meu irmão Jonathan; quão amabilissimo me eras! mais maravilhoso me era o teu amor do que o amor das mulheres.
I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
27 Como cairam os valentes, e pereceram as armas de guerra!
How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
