2 Samuel 12
1 E o Senhor enviou Nathan a David: e, entrando elle a David, disse-lhe: Havia n'uma cidade dois homens, um rico e outro pobre.
Then the LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he arrived, he said, “There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.
2 O rico tinha muitissimas ovelhas e vaccas;
The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
3 Mas o pobre não tinha coisa nenhuma, senão uma pequena cordeira que comprara e creara; e ella tinha crescido com elle e com seus filhos egualmente; do seu bocado comia, e do seu copo bebia, e dormia em seu regaço, e a tinha como filha.
but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him.
4 E, vindo ao homem rico um viajante, deixou este de tomar das suas ovelhas e das suas vaccas para guizar para o viajante que viera a elle: e tomou a cordeira do homem pobre, e a preparou para o homem que viera a elle.
Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”
5 Então o furor de David se accendeu em grande maneira contra aquelle homem, e disse a Nathan: Vive o Senhor, que digno de morte é o homem que fez isso.
David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan: “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!
6 E pela cordeira tornará a dar o quadruplicado, porque fez tal coisa, e porque não se compadeceu.
Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
7 Então disse Nathan a David: Tu és este homem. Assim diz o Senhor Deus d'Israel: Eu te ungi rei sobre Israel, e eu te livrei das mãos de Saul,
Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
8 E te dei a casa de teu senhor, e as mulheres de teu senhor em teu seio, e tambem te dei a casa d'Israel e de Judah, e, se isto é pouco, mais te accrescentaria taes e taes coisas.
I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.
9 Porque, pois, desprezaste a palavra do Senhor, fazendo o mal diante de seus olhos? A Urias, o hetheo, feriste á espada, e a sua mulher tomaste por tua mulher; e a elle mataste com a espada dos filhos d'Ammon:
Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
10 Agora, pois, não se apartará a espada jámais da tua casa, porquanto me desprezaste, e tomaste a mulher de Urias, o hetheo, para que te seja por mulher.
Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
11 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que suscitarei da tua mesma casa o mal sobre ti, e tomarei tuas mulheres perante os teus olhos, e as darei a teu proximo, o qual se deitará com tuas mulheres perante este sol.
This is what the LORD says: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight.
12 Porque tu o fizeste em occulto, mas eu farei este negocio perante todo o Israel e perante o sol.
You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
13 Então disse David a Nathan: Pequei contra o Senhor. E disse Nathan a David: Tambem o Senhor traspassou o teu peccado; não morrerás.
Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die.
14 Todavia, porquanto com este feito déste logar sobremaneira a que os inimigos do Senhor blasphemem, tambem o filho que te nasceu certamente morrerá.
Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.”
15 Então Nathan se foi para sua casa; e o Senhor feriu a creança que a mulher de Urias parira a David, e adoeceu gravemente.
After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
16 E buscou David a Deus pela creança; e jejuou David, e entrou, e passou a noite prostrado sobre a terra:
David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
17 Então os anciãos da sua casa se levantaram a elle, para o levantar da terra; porém elle não quiz, e não comeu pão com elles
The elders of his household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.
18 E succedeu que ao setimo dia morreu a creança: e temiam os servos de David dizer-lhe que a creança era morta, porque diziam: Eis que, sendo a creança ainda viva, lhe fallavamos, porém não dava ouvidos á nossa voz; como pois lhe diremos que a creança é morta? Porque mais mal lhe faria.
On the seventh day the child died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He may even harm himself.”
19 Viu porém David que seus servos fallavam baixo, e entendeu David que a creança era morta, pelo que disse David a seus servos: É morta a creança? E elles disseram: É morta.
When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he perceived that the child was dead. So he asked his servants, “Is the child dead?” “He is dead,” they replied.
20 Então David se levantou da terra, e se lavou, e se ungiu, e mudou de vestidos, e entrou na casa do Senhor, e adorou: então veiu a sua casa, e pediu pão; e lhe pozeram pão, e comeu.
Then David got up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, changed his clothes, and went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they set food before him, and he ate.
21 E disseram-lhe seus servos: Que é isto que fizeste? Pela creança viva jejuaste e choraste; porém depois que morreu a creança te levantaste e comeste pão
“What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
22 E disse elle: Vivendo ainda a creança, jejuei e chorei, porque dizia: Quem sabe se o Senhor se compadecerá de mim, e viva a creança?
David answered, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’
23 Porém, agora que é morta, porque jejuaria eu agora? Poderei eu fazel-a mais voltar? Eu irei a ella, porém ella não voltará para mim.
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
24 Então consolou David a Bath-seba, sua mulher, e entrou a ella, e se deitou com ella: e pariu ella um filho, e chamou o seu nome Salomão: e o Senhor o amou.
Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. So she gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved the child
25 E enviou pela mão do propheta Nathan, e chamou o seu nome Jedid-jah, por amor do Senhor.
and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.
26 Entretanto pelejou Joab contra Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
27 Então mandou Joab mensageiros a David, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabba, e tambem tomei a cidade das aguas.
Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the city.
28 Ajunta, pois, agora o resto do povo, e cerca a cidade, e toma-a, para que, tomando eu a cidade, não se acclame sobre ella o meu nome.
Now, therefore, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and it will be named after me.”
29 Então ajuntou David a todo o povo, e marchou para Rabba, e pelejou contra ella, e a tomou.
So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured it.
30 E tirou a corôa da cabeça do seu rei, cujo peso era d'um talento de oiro, e havia n'ella pedras preciosas, e foi posta sobre a cabeça de David: e da cidade levou mui grande despojo.
Then he took the crown from the head of their king. It weighed a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
31 E, trazendo o povo que havia n'ella, o poz ás serras, e ás talhadeiras de ferro, e aos machados de ferro, e os fez passar por forno de tijolos; e assim fez a todas as cidades dos filhos de Ammon: e voltou David e todo o povo para Jerusalem.
David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he made them work at the brick kilns. He did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
