2 Samuel 23
1 E estas são as ultimas palavras de David: Diz David, filho de Jessé, e diz o homem que foi levantado em altura, o ungido do Deus de Jacob, e o suave em psalmos d'Israel:
David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
2 O espirito do Senhor fallou por mim, e a sua palavra esteve em minha bocca.
“The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
3 Disse o Deus d'Israel, a Rocha d'Israel a mim me fallou: Haverá um justo que domine sobre os homens, que domine no temor de Deus.
God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
4 E será como a luz da manhã, quando sae o sol, da manhã sem nuvens, quando pelo seu resplandor e pela chuva a herva brota da terra.
They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
5 Ainda que a minha casa não seja tal para com Deus, comtudo estabeleceu comigo um concerto eterno, que em tudo será bem ordenado e guardado, pois toda a minha salvação e todo o meu prazer está n'elle, apezar de que ainda não o faz brotar.
And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
6 Porém os filhos de Belial todos serão como os espinhos que se lançam fóra, porque se lhes não pode pegar com a mão.
But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
7 Mas qualquer que os tocar se armará de ferro e da haste de uma lança; e a fogo serão totalmente queimados no mesmo logar.
Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
8 Estes são os nomes dos valentes que David teve: Joseb-bashebeth, filho de Tachemoni, o principal dos capitães: este era Adino, o esnita, que se oppozera a oitocentos, e os feriu d'uma vez.
These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
9 E depois d'elle Eleazar, filho de Dodó, filho de Ahohi, entre os tres valentes que estavam com David quando provocaram os philisteos que ali se ajuntaram á peleja, e quando d'Israel os homens subiram.
The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
10 Este se levantou, e feriu os philisteos, até lhe cançar a mão e ficar a mão pegada á espada: e n'aquelle dia o Senhor obrou um grande livramento; e o povo voltou atraz d'elle, sómente a tomar o despojo.
but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
11 E depois d'elle Samma, filho de Agé, o hararita, quando os philisteos se ajuntaram n'uma multidão, onde havia um pedaço de terra cheio de lentilhas, e o povo fugira de diante dos philisteos.
The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
12 Este pois se poz no meio d'aquelle pedaço de terra, e o defendeu, e feriu os philisteos: e o Senhor obrou um grande livramento.
but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
13 Tambem tres dos trinta cabeças desceram, e vieram no tempo da sega a David, á caverna de Adullam: e a multidão dos philisteos acampara no valle de Rephaim.
Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
14 David estava então n'um logar forte, e a guarnição dos philisteos estava então em Beth-lehem.
David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
15 E teve David desejo, e disse: Quem me déra beber da agua da cisterna de Beth-lehem, que está junto á porta!
[One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
16 Então aquelles tres valentes romperam pelo arraial dos philisteos, e tiraram agua da cisterna de Beth-lehem, que está junto á porta, e a tomaram, e a trouxeram a David; porém elle não a quiz beber, mas derramou-a perante o Senhor,
So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
17 E disse: Guarda-me, ó Senhor, de que tal faça; beberia eu o sangue dos homens que foram a risco da sua vida? De maneira que não a quiz beber: isto fizeram aquelles tres valentes.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
18 Tambem Abisai, irmão de Joab, filho de Zeruia, era cabeça de tres; e este alçou a sua lança contra trezentos feridos: e tinha nome entre os tres.
Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
19 Porventura este não era o mais nobre d'entre estes tres? pois era o primeiro d'elles; porém aos primeiros tres não chegou.
He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
20 Tambem Benaia, filho de Joiada, filho d'um homem valoroso de Cabseel, grande em obras, este feriu dois fortes leões de Moab; e desceu elle, e feriu um leão no meio d'uma cova, no tempo da neve.
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
21 Tambem este feriu um homem egypcio, homem de respeito: e na mão do egypcio havia uma lança, porém elle desceu a elle com um cajado, e arrancou a lança da mão do egypcio, e o matou com a sua propria lança.
He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
22 Estas coisas fez Benaia, filho de Joiada, pelo que teve nome entre tres valentes.
Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
23 D'entre os trinta elle era o mais nobre, porém aos tres primeiros não chegou: e David o poz sobre os seus guardas.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
