2 Samuel 3
1 E houve uma longa guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de David: porém David se ia fortalecendo, mas os da casa de Saul se iam enfraquecendo.
Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. David grew stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
2 E a David nasceram filhos em Hebron: e foi o seu primogenito Amnon, de Achinoam a jizreelita;
Sons were born to David in Hebron. His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam from Jezreel.
3 E seu segundo Chileab, de Abigail, mulher de Nabal, o carmelita; e o terceiro Absalão, filho de Maaka, filha de Talmai, rei de Gesur;
His second son, Kileab, was born to Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel. The third, Absalom, was son of Maacah, daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur.
4 E o quarto Adonias, filho d'Haggith; e o quinto Sephatias, filho d'Abital;
David's fourth son, Adonijah, was the son of Haggith. His fifth son was Shephatiah son of Abital,
5 E o sexto Jithream, d'Egla, tambem mulher de David: estes nasceram a David em Hebron.
and the sixth, Ithream, was the son of David's wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron.
6 E, havendo guerra entre a casa de Saul, e a casa de David, succedeu que Abner se esforçava na casa de Saul.
It came about during the war between the house of Saul and the house of David that Abner made himself strong in the house of Saul.
7 E tinha tido Saul uma concubina, cujo nome era Rispa, filha de Aia: e disse Isboseth a Abner: Porque entraste á concubina de meu pae?
Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you slept with my father's concubine?”
8 Então se irou muito Abner pelas palavras de Isboseth, e disse: Sou eu cabeça de cão, que pertença a Judah? ainda hoje faço beneficencia á casa de Saul, teu pae, a seus irmãos, e a seus amigos, e te não entreguei nas mãos de David, e tu hoje buscas motivo para me arguires por respeito da maldade d'uma mulher.
Then Abner was very angry at the words of Ishbosheth and said, “Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? Today I am showing faithfulness to the house of Saul, your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, by not delivering you into the hand of David. But now you accuse me of an offense concerning this woman?
9 Assim faça Deus a Abner, e outro tanto, que como o Senhor jurou a David assim lhe hei de fazer,
May God do so to me, Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David as Yahweh has sworn to him,
10 Transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e levantando o throno de David sobre Israel, e sobre Judah, desde Dan até Berseba.
to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11 E nem ainda uma palavra podia responder a Abner: porque o temia.
Ishbosheth could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
12 Então ordenou Abner da sua parte mensageiros a David, dizendo: De quem é a terra? E disse: Comigo faze a tua alliança, e eis que a minha mão será comtigo, para tornar a ti todo o Israel.
Then Abner sent messengers to David to speak for him saying, “Whose land is this? Make a covenant with me, and you will see that my hand is with you, to bring all Israel to you.”
13 E disse David: Bem, eu farei comtigo alliança, porém uma coisa te peço, que é: não verás a minha face, se primeiro me não trouxeres a Michal, filha de Saul, quando vieres ver a minha face.
David answered, “Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require from you is that you cannot see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see me.”
14 Tambem enviou David mensageiros a Isboseth, filho de Saul, dizendo: Dá-me minha mulher Michal, que eu desposei comigo por cem prepucios de philisteos.
Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, for whom I paid a price of one hundred Philistine foreskins.”
15 E enviou Isboseth, e a tirou a seu marido, a Phaltiel, filho de Lais.
So Ishbosheth sent for Michal and took her from her husband, Paltiel son of Laish.
16 E ia com ella seu marido, caminhando, e chorando detraz d'ella, até Baurim. Então lhe disse Abner: Vae-te agora, volta. E elle voltou.
Her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Return home now.” So he returned.
17 E praticava Abner com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Muito tempo ha que procuraveis que David reinasse sobre vós;
Abner spoke with the elders of Israel saying, “In the past you were trying to have David be king over you.
18 Fazei-o pois agora, porque o Senhor fallou a David, dizendo: Pela mão de David meu servo livrarei o meu povo das mãos dos philisteos e das mãos de todos os seus inimigos.
Now do it. For Yahweh has spoken of David saying, 'By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.'”
19 E fallou tambem Abner o mesmo aos ouvidos de Benjamin: e foi tambem Abner dizer aos ouvidos de David, em Hebron, tudo o que era bom aos olhos de Israel e aos olhos de toda a casa de Benjamin.
Abner also spoke personally to the people of Benjamin. Then Abner went also to speak with David in Hebron to explain everything that Israel and the whole house of Benjamin desired to accomplish.
20 E veiu Abner a David, a Hebron, e vinte homens com elle: e David fez um banquete a Abner e aos homens que com elle vinham.
When Abner and twenty of his men arrived in Hebron to see David, David had a feast prepared for them.
21 Então disse Abner a David: Eu me levantarei, e irei, e ajuntarei ao rei meu senhor todo o Israel, para fazerem alliança comtigo; e tu reinarás sobre tudo o que desejar a tua alma. Assim despediu David a Abner, e foi-se elle em paz.
Abner explained to David, “I will arise and gather all Israel to you, my master the king, so that they may make a covenant with you, so that you may reign over all that you desire.” So David sent Abner away, and Abner left in peace.
22 E eis que os servos de David e Joab vieram d'uma sortida, e traziam comsigo grande despojo; e já Abner não estava com David em Hebron, porque o tinha despedido, e se tinha ido em paz.
Then the soldiers of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much plunder with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron. David had sent him away, and Abner had left in peace.
23 Chegando pois Joab, e todo o exercito que vinha com elle, deram aviso a Joab, dizendo: Abner, filho de Ner, veiu ao rei, e o despediu, e foi-se em paz.
When Joab and all the army with him arrived, they told Joab, “Abner son of Ner came to the king, and the king has sent him away, and Abner left in peace.”
24 Então Joab entrou ao rei, e disse: Que fizeste? eis que Abner veiu ter comtigo; porque pois o despediste, de maneira que se fosse assim livremente?
Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you! Why have you sent him away, and he is gone?
25 Bem conheces a Abner, filho de Ner, que te veiu enganar, e saber a tua saida e a tua entrada, e entender tudo quanto fazes.
Do you not know that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to discover your plans and learn everything you are doing?”
26 E Joab, retirando-se de David, enviou mensageiros atraz d'Abner, e o fizeram voltar desde o poço de Sira, sem que David o soubesse.
When Joab left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah, but David did not know this.
27 Tornando pois Abner a Hebron, Joab o tirou á parte, á entrada da porta, para lhe fallar em segredo: e feriu-o ali pela quinta costella, e morreu, por causa do sangue de Asael seu irmão.
When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly. There Joab stabbed him in the stomach and killed him. In this way, Joab avenged the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 O que David depois ouvindo, disse: Innocente sou eu, e o meu reino, para com o Senhor, para sempre, do sangue d'Abner, filho de Ner.
When David heard about this he said, “I and my kingdom are innocent before Yahweh forever regarding the blood of Abner son of Ner.
29 Fique-se sobre a cabeça de Joab e sobre toda a casa de seu pae, e nunca da casa de Joab falte quem tenha fluxo, nem quem seja leproso, nem quem se atenha a bordão, nem quem caia á espada, nem quem necessite de pão.
Let the guilt of Abner's death fall on the head of Joab and on all his father's house. May there never fail to be in the family of Joab someone who has a flowing sore or skin disease or who is lame and must walk with a staff or who is killed by the sword or who goes without food.”
30 Joab pois e Abisai, seu irmão, mataram a Abner, por ter morto a Asael, seu irmão, na peleja em Gibeon.
So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battle.
31 Disse pois David a Joab, e a todo o povo que com elle estava: Rasgae os vossos vestidos; e cingi-vos de saccos e ide pranteando diante de Abner. E o rei David ia seguindo o feretro.
David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner's body.” Now King David walked behind the body in the funeral procession.
32 E, sepultando a Abner em Hebron, o rei levantou a sua voz, e chorou junto da sepultura de Abner; e chorou todo o povo.
They buried Abner in Hebron. The king wept and cried loudly at the tomb of Abner, and all the people also wept.
33 E o rei, pranteando a Abner, disse: Não morreu Abner como morre o vilão?
The king lamented for Abner and sang, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?
34 As tuas mãos não estavam atadas, nem os teus pés carregados de grilhões de bronze, mas caiste como os que caem diante dos filhos da maldade! Então todo o povo chorou muito mais por elle
Your hands were not bound. Your feet were not shackled. As a man falls before the sons of injustice, so you have fallen.” Once more all the people wept over him.
35 Então todo o povo veiu fazer que David comesse pão, sendo ainda dia, porém David jurou, dizendo: Assim Deus me faça, e outro tanto, se, antes que o sol se ponha, eu provar pão ou alguma coisa.
All the people came to make David eat while it was still day, but David swore, “May God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun goes down.”
36 O que todo o povo entendendo, pareceu bem aos seus olhos, assim como tudo quanto o rei fez pareceu bem aos olhos de todo o povo.
All the people took notice of David's grief, and it pleased them, as whatever the king did pleased them.
37 E todo o povo e todo o Israel entenderam n'aquelle mesmo dia que não procedera do rei que matassem a Abner, filho de Ner.
So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king's desire to kill Abner son of Ner.
38 Então disse o rei aos seus servos: Não sabeis que hoje caiu em Israel um principe e um grande?
The king said to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
39 Que eu ainda sou tenro, ainda que ungido rei; estes homens, filhos de Zeruia, são mais duros do que eu: o Senhor pagará ao malfeitor, conforme a sua maldade.
Now I am weak today, though I am an anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May Yahweh repay the evildoer by punishing him for his wickedness, as he deserves.”
