2 Samuel 11
1 E aconteceu que, tendo decorrido um anno, no tempo em que os reis saem, enviou David a Joab, e a seus servos com elle, e a todo o Israel, para que destruissem os filhos de Ammon, e cercassem a Rabba; porém David ficou em Jerusalem.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem.
2 E aconteceu á hora da tarde que David se levantou do seu leito, e andava passeando no terraço da casa real, e viu do terraço a uma mulher que se estava lavando: e era esta mulher mui formosa á vista.
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.
3 E enviou David, e perguntou por aquella mulher: e disseram: Porventura não é esta Bathseba, filha d'Eliam, mulher de Urias, o hetheo?
And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.
4 Então enviou David mensageiros, e a mandou trazer; e, entrando ella a elle, se deitou com ella (e já ella se tinha purificado da sua immundicia): então voltou ella para sua casa.
And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:
5 E a mulher concebeu; e enviou, e fel-o saber a David, e disse: Prenhe estou.
And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.
6 Então enviou David a Joab, dizendo: Envia-me Urias o hetheo. E Joab enviou Urias a David.
And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.
7 Vindo pois Urias a elle, perguntou David como ficava Joab, e como ficava o povo, e como ia a guerra.
And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.
8 Depois disse David a Urias: Desce a tua casa, e lava os teus pés. E, saindo Urias da casa real, logo saiu atraz d'elle iguaria do rei.
And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king’s house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.
9 Porém Urias se deitou á porta da casa real, com todos os servos do seu senhor: e não desceu á sua casa.
But Urias slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.
10 E o fizeram saber a David, dizendo: Urias não desceu a sua casa. Então disse David a Urias: Não vens tu d'uma jornada? Porque não desceste a tua casa?
And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
11 E disse Urias a David: A arca, e Israel, e Judah ficam em tendas; e Joab meu senhor e os servos de meu senhor estão acampados no campo; e hei de eu entrar na minha casa, para comer e beber, e para me deitar com minha mulher? Pela tua vida, e pela vida da tua alma, não farei tal coisa.
And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.
12 Então disse David a Urias: Fica cá ainda hoje, e ámanhã te despedirei. Urias pois ficou em Jerusalem aquelle dia e o seguinte.
Then David said to Urias: Tarry here today, and tomorrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.
13 E David o convidou, e comeu e bebeu diante d'elle, e o embebedou: e á tarde saiu a deitar-se na sua cama como os servos de seu senhor; porém não desceu a sua casa.
And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.
14 E succedeu que pela manhã David escreveu uma carta a Joab: e mandou-lh'a por mão de Urias.
And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,
15 Escreveu na carta, dizendo: Ponde a Urias na frente da maior força da peleja; e retirae-vos de detraz d'elle, para que seja ferido e morra.
Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.
16 Aconteceu, pois, que, tendo Joab observado bem a cidade, poz a Urias no logar onde sabia que havia homens valentes.
Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.
17 E, saindo os homens da cidade, e pelejando com Joab, cairam alguns do povo, dos servos de David: e morreu tambem Urias, o hetheo.
And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.
18 Então enviou Joab, e fez saber a David todo o successo d'aquella peleja.
Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.
19 E deu ordem ao mensageiro, dizendo: Acabando tu de contar ao rei todo o successo d'esta peleja;
And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,
20 E succedendo que o rei se encolerize, e te diga: Porque vos chegastes tão perto da cidade a pelejar? Não sabieis vós que haviam de atirar do muro?
If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?
21 Quem feriu a Abimelech, filho de Jerubbeseth? Não lançou uma mulher sobre elle do muro um pedaço d'uma mó corredora, de que morreu em Thebes? Porque vos chegastes ao muro? Então dirás: Tambem morreu teu servo Urias, o hetheo.
Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.
22 E foi o mensageiro, e entrou, e fez saber a David tudo, porque Joab o enviara dizer.
So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him.
23 E disse o mensageiro a David: Na verdade que mais poderosos foram aquelles homens do que nós, e sairam a nós ao campo; porém nós fomos contra elles, até á entrada da porta
And the messenger said to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city.
24 Então os frecheiros atiraram contra os teus servos desde o alto do muro, e morreram alguns dos servos do rei: e tambem morreu o teu servo Urias, o hetheo.
And the archers shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king’s servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead.
25 E disse David ao mensageiro: Assim dirás a Joab: Não te pareça isto mal aos teus olhos; pois a espada tanto consome este como aquelle: esforça a tua peleja contra a cidade, e a derrota: esforça-o tu assim.
And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against The city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.
26 Ouvindo pois a mulher de Urias que Urias seu marido era morto, lamentou a seu senhor.
And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him.
27 E, passado o nojo, enviou David, e a recolheu em sua casa, e lhe foi por mulher, e pariu-lhe um filho. Porém esta coisa que David fez pareceu mal aos olhos do Senhor.
And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.
