2 Samuel 2
1 E succedeu depois d'isto que David consultou ao Senhor, dizendo: Subirei a alguma das cidades de Judah? E disse-lhe o Senhor: Sobe. E disse David: Para onde subirei? E disse: Para Hebron.
And after these things David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? And the Lord said to him: Go up. And David said: Whither shall I go up? And he answered him: Into Hebron.
2 E subiu David para lá, e tambem as suas duas mulheres, Achinoam. a jizreelita, e Abigail, a mulher de Nabal, o carmelita.
So David went up, and his two wives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel:
3 Fez tambem David subir os homens que estavam com elle, cada um com a sua familia: e habitaram nas cidades de Hebron.
And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron.
4 Então vieram os homens de Judah, e ungiram ali a David rei sobre a casa de Judah. E deram avisos a David, dizendo: Os homens de Jabez-gilead são os que sepultaram a Saul.
And the men of Juda came, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Juda. And it was told David, that the men of Jabes Galaad had buried Saul.
5 Então enviou David mensageiros aos homens de Jabez-gilead, e disse-lhes: Bemditos sejaes vós do Senhor, que fizestes tal beneficencia a vosso senhor, a Saul, e o sepultastes!
David therefore sent messengers to the men of Jabes Galaad, and said to them: Blessed be you to the Lord, who have shewn this mercy to your master Saul, and have buried him.
6 Agora, pois, o Senhor use comvosco de beneficencia e fidelidade: e tambem eu vos farei este bem, porquanto fizestes isto.
And now the Lord surely will render you mercy and truth, and I also will, requite you for this good turn, because you have done this thing.
7 Esforcem-se pois agora as vossas mãos, e sêde homens valentes, pois Saul, vosso senhor, é morto, mas tambem os da casa de Judah já me ungiram a mim rei sobre si.
Let your hands be strengthened, and be ye men of valour: for although your master Saul be dead, yet the house of Juda hath anointed me to be their king.
8 Porém Abner, filho de Ner, capitão do exercito de Saul, tomou a Isboseth, filho de Saul, e o fez passar a Mahanaim,
But Abner the son of Ner, general of Saul’s army, took Isboseth the son of Saul, and led him about through the camp?
9 E o constituiu rei sobre Gilead, e sobre os assuritas, e sobre Jizreel, e sobre Ephraim, e sobre Benjamin, e sobre todo o Israel.
And made him king over Galaad, and, over Gessuri, and over Jezrahel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Da edade de quarenta annos era Isboseth, filho de Saul, quando começou a reinar sobre Israel, e reinou dois annos: mas os da casa de Judah seguiam a David.
Isboseth the son of Saul was forty years old when he began to reign over, Israel, and he reigned two years: and only the house of Juda followed David.
11 E foi o numero dos dias que David reinou em Hebron, sobre a casa de Judah, sete annos e seis mezes.
And the number of the days that David abode, reigning in Hebron over the house of Juda, was seven years and six months.
12 Então saiu Abner, filho de Ner, com os servos de Isboseth, filho de Saul, de Mahanaim a Gibeon.
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Isboseth the son of Saul, went out from the camp to Gabaon.
13 Sairam tambem Joab, filho de Zeruia, e os servos de David, e se encontraram uns com os outros perto do tanque de Gibeon: e pararam estes d'esta banda do tanque, e os outros d'aquella banda do tanque.
And Joab the son of Sarvia, and the servants of David went out, and met them by the pool of Gabaon. And when they were come together, they sat down over against one another: the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side.
14 E disse Abner a Joab: Deixa levantar os mancebos, e joguem diante de nós. E disse Joab: Levantem-se.
And Abner said to Joab: Let the young men rise, and play before us. And Joab answered: Let them rise.
15 Então se levantaram, e passaram, por conta, doze de Benjamin, da parte d'Isboseth, filho de Saul, e doze dos servos de David.
Then there arose and went over twelve in number of Benjamin, of the part of Isboseth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 E cada um lançou mão da cabeça do outro, metteu-lhe a espada pela ilharga, e cairam juntamente: d'onde se chamou áquelle logar Helkath-hazzurim, que está junto a Gibeon.
And every one catching his fellow, by the head, thrust his sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together: and the name of the place was called: The field of the valiant, in Gabaon.
17 E seguiu-se n'aquelle dia uma crua peleja: porém Abner e os homens de Israel foram feridos diante dos servos de David.
And there was a very fierce battle that day: and Abner was put to flight, with the men of Israel, by the servants of David.
18 E estavam ali os tres filhos de Zeruia, Joab, Abisai, e Asael: e Asael era ligeiro de pés, como uma das cabras montezes que ha no campo.
And there were the three sons of Sarvia there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asael: now Asael was a most swift runner, like one of the roes that abide in the woods.
19 E Asael perseguiu a Abner: e não declinou de detraz de Abner, nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
And Asael pursued after Abner, and turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20 E Abner, olhando para traz, disse: És tu este Asael? E disse elle: Eu sou.
And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am.
21 Então lhe disse Abner: Desvia-te para a direita, ou para a esquerda, e lança mão d'um dos mancebos, e toma os seus despojos. Porém Asael não quiz desviar-se de detraz d'elle.
And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave off following him close.
22 Então Abner tornou a dizer a Asael: Desvia-te de detraz de mim: porque hei de eu ferir-te e dar comtigo em terra? e como levantaria eu o meu rosto diante de Joab teu irmão?
And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.
23 Porém, não se querendo elle desviar, Abner o feriu com o couto da lança pela quinta costella, e a lança lhe saiu por detraz, e caiu ali, e morreu n'aquelle mesmo logar; e succedeu que todos os que chegavam ao logar onde Asael caiu e morreu paravam.
But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still.
24 Porém Joab e Abisai perseguiram a Abner: e poz-se o sol, chegando elles ao outeiro de Amma, que está diante de Giah, junto ao caminho do deserto de Gibeon.
Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon.
25 E os filhos de Benjamin se ajuntaram detraz d'Abner, e fizeram um batalhão, e pozeram-se no cume d'um outeiro.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill.
26 Então Abner gritou a Joab, e disse: Consumirá a espada para sempre? não sabes tu que por fim haverá amargura? e até quando não has de dizer ao povo que se torne de detraz de seus irmãos?
And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren?
27 E disse Joab: Vive Deus, que, se não tivesses fallado, já desde pela manhã o povo teria cessado cada um de perseguir a seu irmão.
And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren.
28 Então Joab tocou a bozina, e todo o povo parou, e não perseguiram mais a Israel: e tão pouco pelejaram mais.
Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the army stood still, and did not pursue after Israel any farther, nor fight any more.
29 E caminharam Abner e os seus homens toda aquella noite pela planicie: e, passando o Jordão, caminharam por todo o Bithron, e vieram a Mahanaim.
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp.
30 Tambem Joab se tornou de detraz d'Abner, e ajuntou todo o povo: e dos servos de David faltaram dezenove homens, e Asael.
And Joab returning, after he had left Abner, assembled all the people: and there were wanting of David’s servants nineteen men, beside Asael.
31 Porém os servos de David feriram d'entre os de Benjamin, e d'entre os homens d'Abner, a trezentos e sessenta homens, que ali ficaram mortos.
But the servants of David had killed of Benjamin, and of the men that were with Abner, three hundred and sixty, who all died.
32 E levantaram a Asael, e sepultaram-n'o na sepultura de seu pae, que estava em Beth-lehem: e Joab e seus homens caminharam toda aquella noite, e amanheceu-lhes em Hebron.
And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem, and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
