2 Samuel 19

1 E disseram a Joab: Eis que o rei anda chorando, e lastima-se por Absalão.

Now it was reported to Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for his son.

2 Então a victoria se tornou n'aquelle mesmo dia em tristeza para todo o povo: porque aquelle mesmo dia o povo ouvira dizer: Mui triste está o rei por causa de seu filho.

And so the victory on that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said on that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”

3 E aquelle mesmo dia o povo se escoou ás furtadellas na cidade, como o povo de vergonhoso se escoa escondidamente quando fogem da peleja.

And the people declined to enter the city on that day, in the manner that the people were accustomed to decline if they had turned and fled from battle.

4 Estava pois o rei com o rosto coberto; e o rei gritava a alta voz: Meu filho Absalão, Absalão meu filho, meu filho!

And the king covered his head, and he was crying out in a great voice: “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”

5 Então entrou Joab ao rei em casa, e disse: Hoje envergonhaste as caras de todos os teus servos, que livraram hoje a tua vida, e a vida de teus filhos, e de tuas filhas, e a vida de tuas mulheres, e a vida de tuas concubinas.

Therefore, Joab, entering to the king in the house, said: “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines.

6 Amando tu aos que te aborrecem, e aborrecendo aos que te amam: porque hoje dás a entender que nada valem para comtigo capitães e servos; porque entendo hoje que se Absalão vivesse, e todos nós hoje fossemos mortos, então bem te parecera aos teus olhos.

You love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. And you have revealed this day that you have no concern for your leaders and for your servants. And truly, I know now that if Absalom had lived, and if we all had been killed, then it would have pleased you.

7 Levanta-te pois agora; sae, e falla conforme ao coração de teus servos: porque pelo Senhor te juro que, se não saires, nem um só homem ficará comtigo esta noite; e mais mal te será isto do que todo o mal que tem vindo sobre ti desde a tua mocidade até agora.

Now then, rise up and go out, and speak so as to make amends to your servants. For I swear to you by the Lord that if you will not go forth, not even one person will be left with you this night. And this will be worse for you than all the evils that have come to you, from your youth even to the present.”

8 Então o rei se levantou, e se assentou á porta: e fizeram saber a todo o povo, dizendo: Eis que o rei está assentado á porta. Então todo o povo veiu apresentar-se diante do rei; porém Israel fugiu cada um para as suas tendas.

Therefore, the king rose up, and he sat at the gate. And it was announced to all the people that the king was sitting at the gate. And the entire multitude went before the king. But Israel fled to their own tents.

9 E todo o povo, em todas as tribus de Israel, andava porfiando entre si, dizendo: O rei nos tirou das mãos de nossos inimigos, e elle nos livrou das mãos dos philisteos; e agora fugiu da terra por causa de Absalão.

And all the people were conflicted, in all the tribes of Israel, saying: “The king has freed us from the hand of our enemies. He himself saved us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he flees from the land for the sake of Absalom.

10 E Absalão, a quem ungimos sobre nós, já morreu na peleja: agora, pois, porque vos calaes, e não fazeis voltar o rei

But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in the war. How long will you be silent, and not lead back the king?”

11 Então o rei David enviou a Zadok e a Abiathar, sacerdotes, dizendo: Fallae aos anciãos de Judah, dizendo: Porque serieis vós os ultimos em tornar a trazer o rei para a sua casa? (porque as palavras de todo o Israel chegaram ao rei, até á sua casa.)

Then truly, king David sent to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, saying: “Speak to those greater by birth of Judah, saying: ‘Why have you arrived last to lead back the king into his house? (For the talk in all of Israel had reached the king in his house.)

12 Vós sois meus irmãos, meus ossos e minha carne sois vós: porque pois serieis os ultimos em tornar a trazer o rei?

You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why are you the last to lead back the king?’

13 E a Amasa direis: Porventura não és tu meu osso e minha carne? assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, se não fores chefe do arraial diante de mim para sempre, em logar de Joab.

And say to Amasa: ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do these things, and may he add these other things, if you will not be the leader of the military in my sight, for all time, in the place of Joab.’”

14 Assim moveu o coração de todos os homens de Judah, como o d'um só homem: e enviaram ao rei, dizendo: Volta tu com todos os teus servos.

And he inclined the heart of all the men of Judah, as if one man. And they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”

15 Então o rei voltou, e chegou até ao Jordão; e Judah veiu a Gilgal, para ir encontrar-se com o rei, á outra banda do Jordão.

And the king returned. And he went as far as the Jordan, and all of Judah went as far as Gilgal, so as to meet the king, and to lead him across the Jordan.

16 E apressou-se Simei, filho de Gera, filho de Jemini, que era de Bahurim: e desceu com os homens de Judah a encontrar-se com o rei David,

And Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, hurried and descended with the men of Judah to meet king David,

17 E com elle mil varões de Benjamin, como tambem Ziba, servo da casa de Saul, e seus quinze filhos, e seus vinte servos com elle: e promptamente passaram o Jordão adiante do rei.

with one thousand men from Benjamin, and with Ziba, the servant from the house of Saul. And with him were his fifteen sons and twenty servants. And going into the Jordan,

18 E, passando a barca, para fazer passar a casa do rei e para trazer o que bem parecesse aos seus olhos, então Simei, filho de Gera, se prostrou diante do rei, passando elle o Jordão.

they crossed the fords before the king, so that they might lead across the house of the king, and might act in accord with his order. Then, Shimei, the son of Gera, prostrating himself before the king after he had now gone across the Jordan,

19 E disse ao rei: Não me impute meu senhor a minha culpa, e não te lembres do que tão perversamente fez teu servo, no dia em que o rei meu senhor saiu de Jerusalem, para o rei conserval-o no coração.

said to him: “May you not impute to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor call to mind the injuries, of your servant in the day that you, my lord the king, departed from Jerusalem. And may you not store it up in your heart, O king.

20 Porque teu servo devéras confessa que eu pequei: porém eis que eu sou o primeiro que de toda a casa de José desci a encontrar-me com o rei meu senhor.

For as your servant, I acknowledge my sin. And for this reason, today, I arrive as the first from all the house of Joseph, and I descend to meet my lord the king.”

21 Então respondeu Abisai, filho de Zeruia, e disse: Não morreria pois Simei por isto, havendo amaldiçoado ao ungido do Senhor?

Yet truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, responding, said, “Should not Shimei, because of these words, be killed, since he cursed the Christ of the Lord?”

22 Porém David disse: Que tenho eu comvosco, filhos de Zeruia, para que hoje me sejaes adversarios? morreria alguem hoje em Israel? porque porventura não sei que hoje fui feito rei sobre Israel?

And David said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Why are you acting toward me this day like Satan? Why should any man be put to death on this day in Israel? Or do you not know that today I have been made king over Israel?”

23 E disse o rei a Simei: Não morrerás. E o rei lh'o jurou.

And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And he swore to him.

24 Tambem Mephiboseth, filho de Saul, desceu a encontrar-se com o rei, e não tinha lavado os pés, nem tinha feito a barba, nem tinha lavado os seus vestidos desde o dia em que o rei tinha saido até ao dia em que voltou em paz.

And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul, descended to meet the king, with unwashed feet and uncut beard. And he had not washed his garments from the day that the king had departed, until the day of his return in peace.

25 E succedeu que, vindo elle a Jerusalem a encontrar-se com o rei, disse-lhe o rei: Porque não foste comigo, Mephiboseth?

And when he had met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”

26 E disse elle: Ó rei meu senhor, o meu servo me enganou; porque o teu servo dizia: Albardarei um jumento, e n'elle montarei, e irei com o rei; pois o teu servo é côxo.

And in response, he said: “My lord the king, my servant spurned me. And I, your servant, spoke to him so that he might saddle a donkey for me, and I might climb upon it and go with the king. For I, your servant, am lame.

27 De mais d'isto, falsamente accusou a teu servo diante do rei meu senhor; porém o rei meu senhor é como um anjo de Deus; faze pois o que parecer bem aos teus olhos.

Moreover, he also accused me, your servant, to you, my lord the king. But you, my lord the king, are like an Angel of God. Do whatever is pleasing to you.

28 Porque toda a casa de meu pae não era senão de homens dignos de morte diante do rei meu senhor; e comtudo puzeste a teu servo entre os que comem á tua mesa: e que mais direito tenho eu de clamar ao rei?

For my father’s house was deserving of nothing but death before my lord the king. Yet you have placed me, your servant, among the guests of your table. Therefore, what just complaint might I have? Or what else can I cry out to the king?”

29 E disse-lhe o rei: Porque ainda mais fallas de teus negocios? já disse eu: Tu e Ziba reparti as terras.

Then the king said to him: “Why are you still speaking? What I have spoken is fixed. You and Ziba shall divide the possessions.”

30 E disse Mephiboseth ao rei; Tome elle tambem tudo: pois já veiu o rei meu senhor em paz á sua casa.

And Mephibosheth responded to the king, “But now let him take it all, since my lord the king has been returned peacefully into his own house.”

31 Tambem Barzillai, o gileadita, desceu de Rogelim, e passou com o rei o Jordão, para o acompanhar á outra banda do Jordão.

Likewise, Barzillai the Gileadite, descending from Rogelim, led the king across the Jordan, having prepared also to follow him beyond the river.

32 E era Barzillai mui velho, da edade de oitenta annos; e elle tinha sustentado o rei, quando tinha a sua morada em Mahanaim, porque era homem mui grande.

Now Barzillai the Gileadite was very old, that is, eighty years old. And he provided the king with sustenance when he was staying at the encampment. For indeed, he was an exceedingly rich man.

33 E disse o rei a Barzillai: Passa tu comigo, e sustentar-te-hei comigo em Jerusalem.

And so the king said to Barzillai, “Come with me, so that you may rest securely with me in Jerusalem.”

34 Porém Barzillai disse ao rei: Quantos serão os dias dos annos da minha vida, para que suba com o rei a Jerusalem?

And Barzillai said to the king: “How many days remain in the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35 Da edade de oitenta annos sou eu hoje; poderia eu discernir entre bom e mau? poderia o teu servo ter gosto no que comer e beber? Poderia eu mais ouvir a voz dos cantores e cantoras? E porque será o teu servo ainda pesado ao rei meu senhor?

Today I am eighty years old. Are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? Or is food and drink able to delight your servant? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singers? Why should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?

36 Com o rei passará teu servo ainda um pouco mais além do Jordão: e porque me recompensará o rei com tal recompensa?

I, your servant, shall proceed a little ways from the Jordan with you. I am not in need of this recompense.

37 Deixa voltar o teu servo, e morrerei na minha cidade, junto á sepultura de meu pae e de minha mãe: mas eis ahi está o teu servo Chimham, o qual passe com o rei meu senhor, e faze-lhe o que bem parecer aos teus olhos.

But I beg you that I, your servant, may be returned and may die in my own city, and may be buried beside the sepulcher of my father and my mother. But there is your servant Chimham; let him go with you, my lord the king. And do for him whatever seems good to you.”

38 Então disse o rei: Chimham passará comigo, e eu lhe farei como bem parecer aos teus olhos, e tudo quanto me pedires te farei.

And so the king said to him: “Let Chimham cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever will be pleasing to you. And all that you ask of me, you shall obtain.”

39 Havendo pois todo o povo passado o Jordão, e passando tambem o rei, beijou o rei a Barzillai, e o abençoou: e elle voltou para o seu logar.

And when the entire people and the king had crossed over the Jordan, the king kissed Barzillai, and he blessed him. And he returned to his own place.

40 E d'ali passou o rei a Gilgal, e Chimham passou com elle: e todo o povo de Judah conduziu o rei, como tambem a metade do povo d'Israel.

Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. Now all the people of Judah had led the king across, but only as much as one half part of the people of Israel were there.

41 E eis que todos os homens d'Israel vieram ao rei, e disseram ao rei: Porque te furtaram nossos irmãos, os homens de Judah, e conduziram o rei e a sua casa d'além do Jordão, e todos os homens de David com elles?

And so, all the men of Israel, running to the king, said to him: “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away. And why have they led the king and his house across the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”

42 Então responderam todos os homens de Judah aos homens de Israel: Porquanto o rei é nosso parente; e porque vos iraes por isso? Porventura comemos ás costas do rei, ou nos apresentou algum presente?

And all the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel: “Because the king is nearer to me. Why are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten anything belonging to the king, or have any gifts been given to us?”

43 E responderam os homens d'Israel aos homens de Judah, e disseram: Dez partes temos no rei, e até em David mais temos nós do que vós; porque pois não fizestes conta de nós, para que a nossa palavra não fosse a primeira, para tornar a trazer o nosso rei? Porém a palavra dos homens de Judah foi mais forte do que a palavra dos homens d'Israel.

And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: “I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?” But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.
