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 had died in Hebron, his hands became enfeebled, 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 Ba'anah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
3 E tinham fugido os beerothitas para Gittaim, e ali tinham peregrinado até ao dia de hoje.
And the Beerothites had fled to Gittayim, and remained 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.
And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame on both feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Yizre'el, and his nurse took him up and fled: and it came to pass, in her haste to flee, that he fell, and was rendered 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 Ba'anah, went, and came at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who was just lying in bed as usual 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 thither into the interior of the house, as buyers of wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Ba'anah 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.
Namely, they came into the house, while he was lying on his bed in his sleeping-chamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and cut off his head, and took his head, and went by the way of the plain all the 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 unto David to Hebron, and they said to the king, Behold, here is the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life: and the Lord hath granted to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul, and on 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,
But David answered Rechab and Ba'anah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath 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 one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, and he was in his own eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I should give him a reward for his tidings:
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 have slain a righteous man in his own house upon his bed? and now, behold, I will require his blood of your hand, and I will remove 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 gave the command to the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up by the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ish-bosheth they took, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
