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.
Now when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed.
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.
Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding parties. One was named Baanah and the other Rechab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth is considered part of Benjamin,
3 E tinham fugido os beerothitas para Gittaim, e ali tinham peregrinado até ao dia de hoje.
because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have lived there as foreigners to 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.
And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. 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.
Now Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while the king was taking his midday nap.
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;
They entered the interior of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped away.
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.
They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed, and having stabbed and killed him, they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled all night by way of the Arabah.
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.
They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
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,
But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
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 someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was a bearer of good news, I seized him and put him to death at Ziklag. That was his reward 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 wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house and on his own bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hands and remove you 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.
So David commanded his young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.
