2 Samuel 15
1 E aconteceu depois d'isto que Absalão fez apparelhar carros e cavallos, e cincoenta homens que corressem adiante d'elle.
And it came to pass after this, that Abshalom provided for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men who ran before him.
2 Tambem Absalão se levantou pela manhã, e parava a uma banda do caminho da porta. E succedia que a todo o homem que tinha alguma demanda para vir ao rei a juizo, o chamava Absalão a si, e lhe dizia: De que cidade és tu? E, dizendo elle: D'uma das tribus d'Israel é teu servo;
And Abshalom rose up early, and stood on the side of the way to the gate: and it happened, that whenever a man who had a controversy came to the king for judgment, Abshalom called to him, and said, From what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.
3 Então Absalão lhe dizia: Olha, os teus negocios são bons e rectos, porém não tens quem te ouça da parte do rei.
And Abshalom said unto him, See, thy words are good and right; but no one listeneth to thee on the part of the king.
4 Dizia mais Absalão: Ah, quem me dera ser juiz na terra! para que viesse a mim todo o homem que tivesse demanda ou questão, para que lhe fizesse justiça.
And Abshalom said, Oh, if there were but one to appoint me judge in the land, so that every man who may have any controversy or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
5 Succedia tambem que, quando alguem se chegava a elle para se inclinar diante d'elle, elle estendia a sua mão, e pegava d'elle, e o beijava.
And it happened, that when a man came nigh to bow down to him, he used to put forth his hand, and laid hold of him, and kissed him.
6 E d'esta maneira fazia Absalão a todo o Israel que vinha ao rei para juizo: assim furtava Absalão o coração dos homens de Israel.
And Abshalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: and thus did Abshalom steal the heart of the men of Israel.
7 Aconteceu, pois, ao cabo de quarenta annos, que Absalão disse ao rei: Deixa-me ir pagar em Hebron o meu voto que votei ao Senhor.
And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Abshalom said unto the king, Let me go, I pray thee, and fulfill my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord, at Hebron.
8 Porque, morando eu em Gesur, em Syria, votou o teu servo um voto, dizendo: Se o Senhor outra vez me fizer tornar a Jerusalem, servirei ao Senhor.
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord will ever bring me back again to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord.
9 Então lhe disse o rei: Vae em paz. Levantou-se, pois, e foi para Hebron.
And the king said unto him, Go in peace: and he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 E enviou Absalão espias por todas as tribus d'Israel, dizendo: Quando ouvirdes o som das trombetas, direis: Absalão reina em Hebron.
But Abshalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the cornet, then shall ye say, Abshalom is become king at Hebron.
11 E de Jerusalem foram com Absalão duzentos homens convidados, porém iam na sua simplicidade, porque nada sabiam d'aquelle negocio.
And with Abshalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and going in their simplicity; and they knew of nothing whatever.
12 Tambem Absalão enviou por Achitophel, o gilonita, do conselho de David, á sua cidade de Gilo, estando elle sacrificando os seus sacrificios: e a conjuração se fortificava, e vinha o povo, e se augmentava com Absalão.
And Abshalom sent for Achithophel the Gilomite, David's counsellor, from his city, from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy became strong; and the people increased continually with Abshalom.
13 Então veiu um mensageiro a David, dizendo: O coração de cada um em Israel segue a Absalão.
And there came a news-bearer to David, saying, the heart of the men of Israel is turned after Abshalom.
14 Disse pois David a todos os seus servos que estavam com elle em Jerusalem: Levantae-vos, e fujamos, porque não poderiamos escapar diante de Absalão. Dae-vos pressa a caminhar, para que porventura não se apresse elle, e nos alcance, e lance sobre nós algum mal, e fira a cidade a fio de espada.
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for there will not [else] be any escape for us from Abshalom: make haste, to depart, lest he make haste and overtake us suddenly and overwhelm us with evil, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15 Então os servos do rei disseram ao rei: Eis aqui os teus servos, para tudo quanto determinar o rei, nosso senhor.
And the king's servants said unto the king, In accordance with all that my Lord the king may choose, are thy servants ready.
16 E saiu o rei, com toda a sua casa, a pé: deixou porém o rei dez mulheres concubinas, para guardarem a casa.
And the king went forth, and all his household in his train. And the king left behind ten women, who were concubines, to guard the house.
17 Tendo pois saido o rei com todo o povo a pé, pararam n'um logar distante.
And the king went forth, and all the people in his train, and tarried in a place that was far off.
18 E todos os seus servos iam a seu lado, como tambem todos os cheretheos e todos os peletheos: e todos os getheos, seiscentos homens que vieram de Gath a pé, caminhavam diante do rei.
And all his servants passed on alongside of him, and all the Kerethites, and all the Pelethites; and all the Gittites, six hundred men, who were come in his train from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 Disse pois o rei a Ittai, o getheo: Porque irias tu tambem comnosco? Volta, e fica-te com o rei, porque estranho és, e tambem te tornarás a teu logar.
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore wilt thou also go with us? turn back and abide with the king; for thou art a stranger, and also an exile from thy place.
20 Hontem vieste, e te levaria eu hoje comnosco a caminhar? Pois força me é ir aonde quer que podér ir: volta, pois, e torna a levar teus irmãos comtigo, com beneficencia e fidelidade.
Yesterday thou camest; and today should I move thee about with us to wander? seeing that I go whither I may: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, in kindness and truth.
21 Respondeu porém Ittai ao rei, e disse: Vive o Senhor, e vive o rei meu senhor, que no logar em que estiver o rei meu senhor, seja para morte seja para vida, ahi certamente estará tambem o teu servidor.
And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my Lord the king liveth, surely in whatever place my Lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, even there will thy servant be.
22 Então David disse a Ittai: Vem pois, e passa adiante. Assim passou Ittai, o getheo, e todos os seus homens, e todas as creanças que havia com elle.
And David said then to Ittai, Go and pass on. And Ittai the Gittite passed on, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
23 E toda a terra chorava a grandes vozes, passando todo o povo: tambem o rei passou o ribeiro de Cedron, e passou todo o povo na direcção do caminho do deserto.
And all the [people of the] country wept with a loud voice, as all the people passed on: and the king passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, along the way to the wilderness.
24 Eis que tambem Zadok ali estava, e com elle todos os levitas que levavam a arca do concerto de Deus; e pozeram ali a arca de Deus, e subiu Abiathar, até que todo o povo acabou de passar da cidade.
And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, were bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Ebyathar went up, until all the people had finished passing out of the city.
25 Então disse o rei a Zadok: Torna a levar a arca de Deus á cidade; que, se achar graça nos olhos do Senhor, elle me tornará a trazer para lá, e me deixará vêr a ella e a sua habitação.
And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city; if I shall find favor in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me back again, and show me both it, and his dwelling;
26 Se porém disser assim: Não tenho prazer em ti; eis-me aqui, faça de mim como parecer bem aos seus olhos.
But if he should thus say, I have no delight in thee: here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good in his eyes.
27 Disse mais o rei a Zadok, o sacerdote: Não és tu porventura o vidente? torna pois em paz para a cidade, e comvosco tambem vossos dois filhos, Ahimaas, teu filho, e Jonathan, filho d'Abiathar.
The king said also unto Zadok the priest, If thou see the justice of this, return to the city in peace: and your two sons, Achima'az thy son, and Jonathan the son of Ebyathar, are with you.
28 Olhae que me demorarei nas campinas do deserto até que tenha novas vossas.
See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to bring me news.
29 Zadok pois e Abiathar tornaram a levar para Jerusalem a arca de Deus: e ficaram ali.
Zadok therefore and Ebyathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they remained there.
30 E subiu David pela subida das oliveiras, subindo e chorando, e com a cabeça coberta; e caminhava com os pés descalços: e todo o povo que ia com elle cobria cada um a sua cabeça, e subiam chorando sem cessar.
And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, weeping as he went up, and had his head covered, and he was walking barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 Então fizeram saber a David, dizendo: Tambem Achitophel está entre os que se conjuraram com Absalão. Pelo que disse David: Ó Senhor, enlouquece o conselho de Achitophel.
And some one told David, saying, Achithophel is among the conspirators with Abshalom. And David said, I pray thee, turn into foolishness the counsel of Achithophel, O Lord!
32 E aconteceu, que chegando David ao cume, para adorar ali a Deus, eis que Husai, o archita, veiu encontrar-se com elle com o vestido rasgado e terra sobre a cabeça.
And it came to pass, that, when David was come to the top, where he used to bow himself down to God, behold, Chushai the Arkite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.
33 E disse-lhe David: Se passares comigo, ser-me-has pesado.
And David said unto him, If thou passest on with me, thou wouldst be a burden unto me;
34 Porém se voltares para a cidade, e disseres a Absalão: Eu serei, ó rei, teu servo; bem fui d'antes servo de teu pae, mas agora serei teu servo: dissipar-me-has então o conselho de Achitophel.
But if thou shouldst return to the city, and say unto Abshalom, Thy servant will I be, O king; thy father's servant have I been this long time past, and now will I also be thy servant: then mightest thou defeat for me the counsel of Achithophel.
35 E não estão ali comtigo Zadok e Abiathar, sacerdotes? E será que todas as coisas que ouvires da casa do rei, farás saber a Zadok e a Abiathar, sacerdotes.
And, behold, thou hast with thee there Zadok and Ebyathar the priests; therefore shall it be, that what thing soever thou mayest hear out of the king's house, shalt thou tell to Zadok and Ebyathar the priests.
36 Eis que estão tambem ali com elles seus dois filhos, Ahimaas filho de Zadok, e Jonathan filho de Abiathar: pela mão d'elles aviso me mandareis pois de todas as coisas que ouvirdes.
Behold, they have there with them their two sons. Achima'az for Zadok, and Jonathan for Ebyathar: and ye shall send by means of them unto me whatever thing ye can hear.
37 Husai pois, amigo de David, veiu para a cidade: e Absalão entrou em Jerusalem.
So Chushai, David's friend, came into the city, as Abshalom had just resolved to enter into Jerusalem.
