< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 E houve em dias de David uma fome de tres annos, de anno em anno; e David consultou ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe disse: É por causa de Saul e da sua casa sanguinaria, porque matou os gibeonitas.
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David besought the presence of the Lord. And the Lord said, On account of Saul, and on account of the house of blood, is this; because he hath slain the Gib'onites.
2 Então chamou o rei aos gibeonitas, e lhes fallou (ora os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas do resto dos amorrheos, e os filhos de Israel lhes tinham jurado, porém Saul procurou feril-os no seu zelo á causa dos filhos de Israel e de Judah).
And the king called for the Gib'onites, and said unto them: [now the Gib'onites are not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Emorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; but Saul had sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel in Judah: ]
3 Disse pois David aos gibeonitas: Que quereis que eu vos faça? e que satisfação vos darei, para que abençoeis a herança do Senhor?
Wherefore David said unto the Gib'onites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
4 Então os gibeonitas lhe disseram: Não é por prata nem oiro que temos questão com Saul e com sua casa; nem tão pouco pretendemos matar pessoa alguma em Israel. E disse elle: Que é pois que quereis que vos faça?
And the Gib'onites said unto him, We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul and with his house: nor do we wish to kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye say, will I do for you.
5 E disseram ao rei: O homem que nos destruiu, e intentou contra nós que fossemos assollados, sem que podessemos subsistir em termo algum de Israel,
And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed, so that we should have no footing in all the boundaries of Israel.
6 De seus filhos se nos dêem sete homens, para que os enforquemos ao Senhor em Gibeah de Saul, o eleito do Senhor. E disse o rei: Eu os darei.
Let there be delivered unto us seven men of his sons, and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Gib'ah of Saul, the chosen of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
7 Porém o rei poupou a Mephiboseth, filho de Jonathan, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento do Senhor, que entre elles houvera, entre David e Jonathan, filho de Saul.
But the king had pity on Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the Lord's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Porém tomou o rei os dois filhos de Rispa, filha d'Aia, que tinha parido a Saul, a saber a Armoni e a Mephiboseth; como tambem os cinco filhos da irmã de Michal, filha de Saul, que parira a Adriel, filho de Barzillai, meholathita.
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, whom she had born unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had brought up for 'Adriel the son of Barzillai the Mecholathite:
9 E os entregou na mão dos gibeonitas, os quaes os enforcaram no monte, perante o Senhor; e cairam estes sete juntamente: e foram mortos nos dias da sega, nos dias primeiros, no principio da sega das cevadas.
And he delivered them into the hand of the Gib'onites, and they hanged them on the mount before the Lord; and they fell, these seven, together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the barley-harvest.
10 Então Rispa, filha d'Aia, tomou um panno de cilicio, e estendeu-lh'o sobre uma penha, desde o principio da sega, até que distillou a agua sobre elles do céu: e não deixou as aves do céu pousar sobre elles de dia, nem os animaes do campo de noite.
And Rizpah the daughter of Ayah took sackcloth, and spread out it for herself upon the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped down upon them out of heaven, and she suffered neither the birds of heaven to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 E foi dito a David o que fizera Rispa, filha d'Aia, concubina de Saul.
And it was told to David what Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 Então foi David, e tomou os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho, dos moradores de Jabéz-gilead, os quaes os furtaram da rua de Beth-san, onde os philisteos os tinham pendurado, quando os philisteos feriram a Saul em Gilboa.
And David then went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Yabeshgil'ad, who had stolen them from the market-place of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them up, at the time the Philistines had smitten Saul at Gilboa':
13 E fez subir d'ali os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho: e ajuntaram tambem os ossos dos enforcados.
And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered up the bones of those that had been hanged.
14 Enterraram os ossos de Saul, e de Jonathan seu filho na terra de Benjamin, em Zela, na sepultura de seu pae Kis, e fizeram tudo o que o rei ordenara; e depois d'isto Deus se aplacou com a terra.
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin at Zela', in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king had commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
15 Tiveram mais os philisteos uma peleja contra Israel: e desceu David, e com elle os seus servos: e tanto pelejaram contra os philisteos, que David se cançou.
And the Philistines had again a war with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became fatigued.
16 E Isbi-benob, que era dos filhos do gigante, e o peso de cuja lança tinha trezentos siclos de peso de cobre, e que cingia uma espada nova, este intentou ferir a David.
And Yishbi at Nob, who was of the children of the Raphah, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of copper, he being girded with a new armor, thought to slay David.
17 Porém Abisai, filho de Zeruia, o soccorreu, e feriu o philisteo, e o matou: então os homens de David lhe juraram, dizendo: Nunca mais sairás comnosco á peleja, para que não apagues a lampada de Israel.
But Abishai the son of Zeruyah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then swore the men of David unto him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 E aconteceu depois d'isto que houve em Gob ainda outra peleja contra os philisteos: então Sibbechai, o husatita, feriu a Saph, que era dos filhos do gigante.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle at Gob, with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Saph, who was of the children of the Raphah.
19 Houve mais outra peleja contra os philisteos em Gob: e El-hanan, filho de Jaaré-oregim, o beth-lehemita feriu Goliath, o getheo, de cuja lança era a haste como orgão de tecelão.
And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Ya'are-oregim, the Bethlechemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Houve ainda tambem outra peleja em Gath, onde estava um homem d'alta estatura, que tinha em cada mão seis dedos, e em cada pé outros seis, vinte e quatro por todos, e tambem este nascera do gigante.
And there was again a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, [in all] four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the Raphah.
21 E injuriava a Israel: porém Jonathan, filho de Simea, irmão de David, o feriu.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'ah, the brother of David, slew him.
22 Estes quatro nasceram ao gigante em Gath: e cairam pela mão de David e pela mão de seus servos.
These four were born to the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
