2 Samuel 4
1 Ouvindo pois o filho de Saul que Abner morrera em Hebron, as mãos se lhe afrouxaram: e todo o Israel pasmou.
And when Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 E tinha o filho de Saul dois homens capitães de tropas: e era o nome d'um Baena, e o nome do outro Rekab, filhos de Rimmon, o beerothita, dos filhos de Benjamin, porque tambem Beeroth se reputava de Benjamin.
And Saul's son had two men who were captains of bands. The name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin.
3 E tinham fugido os beerothitas para Gittaim, e ali tinham peregrinado até ao dia de hoje.
And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day.
4 E Jonathan, filho de Saul, tinha um filho aleijado de ambos os pés: era da edade de cinco annos quando as novas de Saul e Jonathan vieram de Jizreel, e sua ama o tomou, e fugiu: e succedeu que, apressando-se ella a fugir, elle caiu, e ficou côxo; e o seu nome era Mephiboseth.
Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled. And it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
5 E foram os filhos de Rimmon, o beerothita, Rekab e Baena, e entraram em casa de Isboseth no maior calor do dia, estando elle deitado a dormir, ao meio dia.
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon.
6 E ali entraram até ao meio da casa, como que vindo tomar trigo, e o feriram na quinta costella: e Rekab e Baena, seu irmão, escaparam;
And they came there into the midst of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they smote him in the body. And Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
7 Porque entraram na sua casa, estando elle na cama deitado, na sua recamara, e o feriram, e o mataram, e lhe cortaram a cabeça; e, tomando a sua cabeça, andaram toda a noite caminhando pela planicie.
Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, they smote him, and killed him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
8 E trouxeram a cabeça d'Isboseth a David, a Hebron, e disseram ao rei: Eis aqui a cabeça de Isboseth, filho de Saul, teu inimigo, que te procurava a morte: assim o Senhor vingou hoje ao rei meu senhor de Saul e da sua semente.
And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold, the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life. And Jehovah has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
9 Porém David, respondendo a Rekab e a Baena, seu irmão, filhos de Rimmon, o beerothita, disse-lhes: Vive o Senhor, que remiu a minha alma de toda a angustia,
And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, As Jehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 Que, pois se áquelle que me trouxe novas (dizendo: Eis que Saul morto é, parecendo-lhe porém aos seus olhos que era como quem trazia boas novas), eu logo lancei mão d'elle, e o matei em Siclag, cuidando elle que eu por isso lhe désse alviçaras;
when he who told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
11 Quanto mais a impios homens, que mataram um homem justo em sua casa, sobre a sua cama: agora, pois, não requereria eu o seu sangue de vossas mãos, e não vos exterminaria da terra?
How much more, when evil men have slain a righteous man in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
12 E deu David ordem aos seus mancebos que os matassem: e cortaram-lhes os pés e as mãos, e os penduraram sobre o tanque de Hebron: tomaram porém a cabeça d'Isboseth, e a sepultaram na sepultura de Abner, em Hebron.
And David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
