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.
So then Yahweh sent Nathan the prophet unto David, —who therefore came unto him and said to him—Two men, there were in a certain city, the one, rich, and, the other, poor.
2 O rico tinha muitissimas ovelhas e vaccas;
The, rich, man had flocks and herds exceeding many;
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.
whereas the, poor, man had, nothing, —save one little lamb, which he had made his own, and sustained, and it had grown up with him and with his children, all together, —of his own morsel, used it to eat, and, out of his own cup, used it to drink, and, in his own bosom, used it to lie, and it was to him, as a daughter.
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 there came a traveller to the rich man, but he thought it a pity to take of his own flock, or his own herd, to make ready for the wayfarer who had come to him, —so he took the lamb of his poor neighbour, and made ready for the man who had come to him.
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.
Then was kindled the anger of David against the man, fiercely, —and he said unto Nathan, By the life of Yahweh, doomed to death, is the man that hath done this;
6 E pela cordeira tornará a dar o quadruplicado, porque fez tal coisa, e porque não se compadeceu.
and, the lamb, shall he pay back sevenfold, —because he did this thing, and, for that he had no pity.
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 said Nathan unto David: Thou, art the man! Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—I, anointed thee to be king over Israel, and, I, delivered thee out of 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.
and gave unto thee the household of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and gave unto thee the house of Israel and Judah. And, if this had been too little, I could have further given thee more and more of such things.
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:
Wherefore, hast thou despised the word of Yahweh, by doing that which is wicked in mine eyes? Uriah the Hittite, hast thou smitten with the sword, and, his wife, hast thou taken to thyself to wife, yea, him, hast thou slain with the sword of the sons of Ammon!
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 shall not depart from thy house, unto age-abiding times, —because thou hast despised me, and taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
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.
Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! raising up over thee calamity out of thine own household, and I will take thy wives, before thine eyes, and give unto thy neighbour, and he will lie with thy wives, in the eyes of this sun.
12 Porque tu o fizeste em occulto, mas eu farei este negocio perante todo o Israel e perante o sol.
For, thou, didst it, in secret, —but, I, will do this thing, before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Então disse David a Nathan: Pequei contra o Senhor. E disse Nathan a David: Tambem o Senhor traspassou o teu peccado; não morrerás.
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against Yahweh. Then said Nathan unto David, —Yahweh also, hath put away thy sin, thou shalt 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 thou hast greatly blasphemed Yahweh, by this thing, the very son that is born to thee, shall, 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.
And Nathan departed unto his own house, —and Yahweh struck the child that the wife of Uriah had borne unto David, and it fell sick.
16 E buscou David a Deus pela creança; e jejuou David, e entrou, e passou a noite prostrado sobre a terra:
David therefore earnestly sought God in behalf of the boy, —and David kept a fast, and used to go in and pass the night, and lie upon 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
And the elders of his house stood up over him, to raise him from the ground, —but he would not, neither would he eat food 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.
And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that the child died, —but the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead, for said they—Lo! while the child was living, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice, how then can we say unto him, The child is dead, and so he do [himself] harm?
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.
But, when David saw that his servants were whispering among themselves, then understood David that the child was dead, —and David said unto his servants—Is the child, dead? And they answered—Dead!
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 arose from the ground, and bathed and anointed, and changed his apparel, and, entering into the house of Yahweh, bowed himself down, —then came he into his own house, and asked, and they set before him food, and he did eat.
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
Then said his servants unto him, What is this thing that thou hast done? For the child’s sake, while living, thou didst fast and weep, but, as soon as the child was dead, thou didst arise and eat food.
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?
And he said, —While yet the child lived, I fasted, and wept, —for I said—Who knoweth whether Yahweh may not grant me favour, and the child 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, wherefore should I go on fasting? can I bring him back again? I am going unto him, but, he, will not come back unto 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.
And David consoled Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her, —and she bare a son, and called his name, Solomon, and Yahweh loved him.
25 E enviou pela mão do propheta Nathan, e chamou o seu nome Jedid-jah, por amor do Senhor.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jedidiah ["Beloved of Yah"], for Yahweh’s sake.
26 Entretanto pelejou Joab contra Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
And Joab fought against Rabbah, of the sons of Ammon, —and captured the royal city.
27 Então mandou Joab mensageiros a David, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabba, e tambem tomei a cidade das aguas.
Then Joab sent messengers unto David, —and said—I have fought against Rabbah, I have also captured the city of the waters.
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, gather thou together the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and capture it, —lest, I, capture the city, and it be called by my name.
29 Então ajuntou David a todo o povo, e marchou para Rabba, e pelejou contra ella, e a tomou.
So David gathered together all the people, and went to Rabbah, —and 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 took he the crown of Milcom from off his head, the weight thereof, being a talent of gold, with the precious stones, and it remained on the head of David, —the spoil of the city also, brought he forth in great abundance;
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.
the people also that were therein, brought he forth, and put them to the saw, and to threshing sledges of iron, and to axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln, and thus used he to do unto all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
