2 Samuel 20

1 Então se achou ali por acaso um homem de Belial, cujo nome era Seba, filho de Bichri, homem de Benjamin, o qual tocou a buzina, e disse: Não temos parte em David, nem herança no filho de Jessé; cada um ás suas tendas, ó Israel.

And there was a transgressor [so] called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we [any] inheritance in the son of Jessae: to thy tents, O Israel, every one.

2 Então todos os homens d'Israel subiram de detraz de David, e seguiram Seba, filho de Bichri; porém os homens de Judah se uniram ao seu rei desde o Jordão até Jerusalem.

And all the men of Israel went up from following David after Sabee the son of Bochori: but the men of Juda adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

3 Vindo pois David para sua casa, a Jerusalem, tomou o rei as dez mulheres, suas concubinas, que deixara para guardarem a casa, e as poz n'uma casa em guarda, e as sustentava; porém não entrou a ellas: e estiveram encerradas até ao dia da sua morte, vivendo como viuvas.

And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and went not in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death.

4 Disse mais o rei a Amasa: Convoca-me os homens de Judah para o terceiro dia: e tu então apresenta-te aqui.

And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Juda for three days, and do thou be present here.

5 E foi Amasa para convocar a Judah: porém demorou-se além do tempo que lhe tinha designado.

And Amessai went to call Juda, and delayed beyond the time which David appointed him.

6 Então disse David a Abisai: Mais mal agora nos fará Seba, o filho de Bichri, do que Absalão: pelo que toma tu os servos de teu senhor, e persegue-o, para que porventura não ache para si cidades fortes, e escape dos nossos olhos.

And David said to Amessai, Now shall Sabee the son of Bochori do us more harm than Abessalom: now then take thou with thee the servants of thy lord, and follow after him, lest he find for himself strong cities, so will he blind our eyes.

7 Então sairam atraz d'elle os homens de Joab, e os cheretheos, e os peletheos, e todos os valentes: estes sairam de Jerusalem para irem atraz de Seba, filho de Bichri.

And there went out after him Amessai and the men of Joab, and the Cherethites, and the Phelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.

8 Chegando elles pois á pedra grande que está junto a Gibeon, Amasa veiu: e estava Joab cingido da sua roupa que vestiu, e sobre ella um cinto, ao qual estava pegada a espada a seus lombos na sua bainha; e, adiantando-se elle, lhe caiu.

And they [were] by the great stone that is in Gabaon: and Amessai went in before them: and Joab had upon him a military cloak over his apparel, and over it he was girded with a dagger fastened upon his loins in its scabbard: and the dagger came out, it even came out and fell.

9 E disse Joab a Amasa: Vae comtigo bem, meu irmão? E Joab, com a mão direita, pegou da barba de Amasa, para o beijar.

And Joab said to Amessai, Art thou in health, [my] brother? and the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard of Amessai to kiss him.

10 E Amasa não se resguardou da espada que estava na mão de Joab, de sorte que este o feriu com ella na quinta costella, e lhe derramou por terra as entranhas, e não o feriu segunda vez, e morreu: então Joab e Abisai, seu irmão, foram atraz de Seba, filho de Bichri.

And Amessai observed not the dagger that was in the hand of Joab: and Joab smote him with it on the loins, and his bowels were shed out upon the ground, and he did not repeat the blow, and he died: and Joab and Abessai his brother pursued after Sabee the son of Bochori.

11 Mas algum d'entre os moços de Joab parou junto a elle, e disse: Quem ha que bem queira a Joab? e quem seja por David siga a Joab.

And there stood over him one of the servants of Joab, and said, Who [is] he that is for Joab, and who [is] on the side of David following Joab?

12 E Amasa estava envolto no seu sangue no meio do caminho: e, vendo aquelle homem que todo o povo parava, desviou a Amasa do caminho para o campo, e lançou sobre elle um manto; porque via que todo aquelle que chegava a elle parava.

And Amessai [was] weltering in blood in the midst of the way. And a man saw that all the people stood still; and he removed Amessai out of the path into a field, and he cast a garment upon him, because he saw every one that came to him standing still.

13 E, como estava apartado do caminho, todos os homens seguiram a Joab, para perseguirem a Seba, filho de Bichri.

And when he was quickly removed from the road, every man of Israel passed after Joab to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.

14 E passou por todas as tribus d'Israel até Abel, a saber, a Beth-maaca e a todos os beritas: e ajuntaram-se, e tambem o seguiram.

And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmacha; and all in Charri too were assembled, and followed after him.

15 E vieram, e o cercaram em Abel de Beth-maaca, e levantaram uma tranqueira contra a cidade, assim que já estava em frente do antemuro: e todo o povo que estava com Joab batia o muro, para o derribar.

And they came and besieged him in Abel and Phermacha: and they raised a mound against the city and it stood close to the wall; and all the people with Joab proposed to throw down the wall.

16 Então uma mulher sabia gritou de dentro da cidade: Ouvi, ouvi, peço-vos que digaes a Joab: Chega-te cá, para que eu te falle.

And a wise woman cried from the wall, and said, Hear, hear; say, I pray ye, to Joab, Draw near hither, and I will speak to him.

17 Chegou-se a ella, e disse a mulher: Tu és Joab? E disse elle: Eu sou. E ella lhe disse: Ouve as palavras de tua serva. E disse elle: Ouço.

And he drew nigh to her, and the woman said to him, Art thou Joab? and he said, I [am]. And she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid; and Joab said, I do hear.

18 Então fallou ella, dizendo: Antigamente costumava-se fallar, dizendo: Certamente pediram conselho a Abel; e assim o concluiam.

And she spoke, saying, Of old time they said thus, Surely one was asked in Abel, and Dan, whether the faithful in Israel failed in what they purposed; they will surely ask in Abel, even in like manner, whether they have failed.

19 Sou eu uma das pacificas e das fieis em Israel: e tu procuras matar uma cidade que é madre em Israel: porque pois devorarias a herança do Senhor?

I am a peaceable one of the strong ones in Israel; but thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother city in Israel: why dost thou seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord?

20 Então respondeu Joab, e disse: Longe, longe de mim que eu tal faça, que eu devore ou arruine!

And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should ruin or destroy.

21 A coisa não é assim; porém um só homem do monte d'Ephraim, cujo nome é Seba, filho de Bichri, levantou a mão contra o rei, contra David; entregae-me só este, e retirar-me-hei da cidade. Então disse a mulher a Joab; Eis que te será lançada a sua cabeça pelo muro.

Is not the case thus, that a man of mount Ephraim, Sabee, son of Bochori by name, has even lifted up his hand against king David? Give him only to me, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

22 E a mulher, na sua sabedoria, entrou a todo o povo, e cortaram a cabeça de Seba, filho de Bichri, e a lançaram a Joab; então tocou a buzina, e se retiraram da cidade, cada um para as suas tendas, e Joab voltou a Jerusalem, ao rei.

And the woman went in to all the people, and she spoke to all the city in her wisdom; and they took off the head of Sabee the son of Bochori; and took it away and threw it to Joab: and he blew the trumpet, and the people separated from the city away from him, every man to his tent: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

23 E Joab estava sobre todo o exercito d'Israel; e Benaia, filho de Joiada, sobre os cheretheos e sobre os peletheos;

And Joab [was] over all the forces of Israel: and Banaias the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethites and over the Phelethites.

24 E Adoram sobre os tributos; e Josaphat, filho de Ahilud, era o chanceller;

And Adoniram [was] over the tribute: and Josaphath the son of Achiluth [was] recorder.

25 E Seva o escrivão; e Zadok e Abiathar os sacerdotes;

And Susa [was] scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar [were] priests.

26 E tambem Ira, o jairita, era o official-mór de David.

Moreover Iras the [son of] Iarin was priest to David.
