< 2 Samuel 22 >
1 E fallou David ao Senhor as palavras d'este cantico, no dia em que o Senhor o livrou das mãos de todos os seus inimigos e das mãos de Saul.
And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 Disse pois: O Senhor é o meu rochedo, e o meu logar forte, e o meu libertador.
And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 Deus é o meu rochedo, n'elle confiarei: o meu escudo, e a força da minha salvação, o meu alto retiro, e o meu refugio. O meu Salvador, de violencia me salvaste.
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; you save me from violence.
4 O Senhor, digno de louvor, invoquei, e de meus inimigos fiquei livre.
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 Porque me cercaram as ondas de morte: as torrentes de Belial me assombraram.
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 Cordas do inferno me cingiram; encontraram-me laços de morte. (Sheol )
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; (Sheol )
7 Estando em angustia, invoquei ao Senhor, e a meu Deus clamei: do seu templo ouviu elle a minha voz, e o meu clamor chegou aos seus ouvidos.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Então se abalou e tremeu a terra, os fundamentos dos céus se moveram e abalaram, porque elle se irou.
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry.
9 Subiu o fumo de seus narizes, e da sua bocca um fogo devorador: carvões se incenderam d'elle.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 E abaixou os céus, e desceu: e uma escuridão havia debaixo de seus pés.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 E subiu sobre um cherubim, e voou: e foi visto sobre as azas do vento.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 E por tendas poz as trevas ao redor de si: ajuntamento d'aguas, nuvens dos céus.
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Pelo resplendor da sua presença brasas de fogo se accendem.
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 Trovejou desde os céus o Senhor: e o Altissimo fez soar a sua voz.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 E disparou frechas, e os dissipou: raios e os perturbou.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and humiliated them.
16 E appareceram as profundezas do mar, os fundamentos do mundo se descobriram: pela reprehensão do Senhor, pelo sopro do vento dos seus narizes.
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 Desde o alto enviou, e me tomou: tirou-me das muitas aguas.
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18 Livrou-me do meu possante inimigo, e d'aquelles que me tinham odio, porque eram mais fortes do que eu.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 Encontraram-me no dia da minha calamidade: porém o Senhor se fez o meu esteio.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 E tirou-me á largura, e arrebatou-me d'ali; porque tinha prazer em mim.
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Recompensou-me o Senhor conforme á minha justiça: conforme á pureza de minhas mãos me retribuiu.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 Porque guardei os caminhos do Senhor: e não me apartei impiamente do meu Deus.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Porque todos os seus juizos estavam diante de mim: e de seus estatutos me não desviei.
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Porém fui sincero perante elle: e guardei-me da minha iniquidade.
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 E me retribuiu o Senhor conforme á minha justiça, conforme á minha pureza diante dos seus olhos.
Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 Com o benigno te mostras benigno: com o varão sincero te mostras sincero.
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 Com o puro te mostras puro: mas com o perverso te mostras avesso.
With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself unpleasing.
28 E o povo afflicto livras: mas teus olhos são contra os altivos, e tu os abaterás.
And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 Porque tu, Senhor, és a minha candeia: e o Senhor esclarece as minhas trevas.
For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 Porque comtigo passo pelo meio d'um esquadrão: pelo meu Deus salto um muro.
For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 O caminho de Deus é perfeito, e a palavra do Senhor refinada; e é o escudo de todos os que n'elle confiam.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 Porque, quem é Deus, senão o Senhor? e quem é rochedo, senão o nosso Deus?
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 Deus é a minha fortaleza e a minha força, e elle perfeitamente desembaraça o meu caminho.
God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34 Faz elle os meus pés como os das cervas, e me põe sobre as minhas alturas.
He makes my feet like hinds' feet: and sets me upon my high places.
35 Instrue as minhas mãos para a peleja, de maneira que um arco de cobre se quebra pelos meus braços.
He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Tambem me déste o escudo da tua salvação, e pela tua brandura me vieste a engrandecer.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
37 Alargaste os meus passos debaixo de mim, e não vacillaram os meus artelhos.
You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 Persegui os meus inimigos, e os derrotei, e nunca me tornei até que os consumisse.
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 E os consumi, e os atravessei, de modo que nunca mais se levantaram, mas cairam debaixo dos meus pés.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 Porque me cingiste de força para a peleja, fizeste abater-se debaixo de mim os que se levantaram contra mim.
For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 E deste-me o pescoço de meus inimigos, d'aquelles que me tinham odio, e os destrui.
You have also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 Olharam, porém não houve libertador: sim, para o Senhor, porém não lhes respondeu.
They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Então os moí como o pó da terra; como a lama das ruas os trilhei e dissipei.
Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 Tambem me livraste das contendas do meu povo; guardaste-me para cabeça das nações; o povo que não conhecia me servirá.
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Os filhos de estranhos se me sujeitaram; ouvindo a minha voz, me obedeceram.
Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Os filhos de estranhos descairam; e, cingindo-se, sairam dos seus encerramentos.
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 Vive o Senhor, e bemdito seja o meu rochedo; e exaltado seja Deus, a rocha da minha salvação:
The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 O Deus que me dá inteira vingança, e sujeita os povos debaixo de mim.
It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 E o que me tira d'entre os meus inimigos: e tu me exaltas sobre os que contra mim se levantam; do homem violento me livras.
And that brings me forth from mine enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
50 Por isso, ó Senhor, te louvarei entre as gentes, e entoarei louvores ao teu nome.
Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 Elle é a torre das salvações do seu rei, e usa de benignidade com o seu ungido, com David, e com a sua semente para sempre.
He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
