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.
There was a famine in David's time for three years in a row, and David sought the face of Yahweh. So Yahweh said, “This famine is on you because of Saul and his murderous family, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
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).
Now the Gibeonites were not from the people of Israel; they were from what remained of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul tried to kill them all anyway in his zeal for the people of Israel and 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?
So King David called together the Gibeonites and said to them, “What should I do for you? How can I make atonement, so that you may bless the people of Yahweh, who inherit his goodness and promises?”
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?
The Gibeonites responded to him, “It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his family. In the same way it is not for us to put to death any man in Israel.” David replied, “What are you saying that I should 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,
They answered the king, “The man who tried to kill us all, who schemed against us, so that we are now destroyed and have no place within the borders 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 seven men from his descendants be handed over to us, and we will hang them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the one chosen by Yahweh.” So the king said, “I will give them to you.”
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 spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul, because of Yahweh's oath between them, between David and Jonathan 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.
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, sons whom she bore to Saul—the two sons were named Armoni and Mephibosheth; and David also took the five sons of Merab daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
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.
He handed them over into the hands of the Gibeonites. They hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and they died all seven together. They were put to death during the time of harvest, during the first days at the beginning of 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.
Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the mountain beside the dead bodies, from the beginning of harvest until the rain poured down on them from the sky. She did not allow the birds of the sky to disturb the bodies by day or the wild animals by night.
11 E foi dito a David o que fizera Rispa, filha d'Aia, concubina de Saul.
It was told to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the slave wife 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.
So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, after the Philistines had killed Saul in 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.
David took away from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of the seven men who had been hanged, as well.
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.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They performed all that the king commanded. After that God answered their prayers 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.
Then the Philistines went to war again with Israel. So David went down with his army and fought against the Philistines. David was overcome with battle fatigue.
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.
Ishbi-Benob, a descendant of the giants, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels, and who was armed with a new sword, intended to kill 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 son of Zeruiah rescued David, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You must not go to battle anymore with us, so that you do not put out 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.
It came about after this that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob, when Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the descendants of the Rephaim.
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.
It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed 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.
It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
21 E injuriava a Israel: porém Jonathan, filho de Simea, irmão de David, o feriu.
When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
22 Estes quatro nasceram ao gigante em Gath: e cairam pela mão de David e pela mão de seus servos.
These were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
