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 it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, To 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 thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
3 Fez tambem David subir os homens que estavam com elle, cada um com a sua familia: e habitaram nas cidades de Hebron.
And his men that [were] with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities 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 Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, [That] the men of Jabesh-gilead [were they] that 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!
And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, Blessed [be] ye of the LORD, that ye have shown this kindness to your lord, [even] to 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 show kindness and truth to you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye 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.
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
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, captain of Saul's host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
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 he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, 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.
Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, [was] forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years: but the house of Judah 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 time that David was king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, 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 Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
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 Zeruiah, and the servants of David went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
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 now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
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 by number twelve of Benjamin, who [pertained] to Ish-bosheth 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 they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side: so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon.
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 severe battle that day; and Abner was defeated, and the men of Israel, before 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 three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel [was as] light of foot as a wild roe.
19 E Asael perseguiu a Abner: e não declinou de detraz de Abner, nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he 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.
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, [Art] thou Asahel? 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, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold on one of the young men, and take to thee his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
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 Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: Why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I 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 turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth [rib], that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, [that] as many as came to the place where Asahel 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.
Joab also, and Abishai pursued Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that [lieth] before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
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 assembled themselves after Abner, and became one troop, and 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?
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou wilt bid the people return from following 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] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Então Joab tocou a bozina, e todo o povo parou, e não perseguiram mais a Israel: e tão pouco pelejaram mais.
So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued Israel no more, neither fought they 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 plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
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 returned from following Abner: and when he had assembled all the people, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
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 smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, [so that] three hundred and sixty men 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 up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulcher of his father, which [was in] Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
