2 Samuel 1

1 E succedeu, depois da morte de Saul, voltando David da derrota dos amalekitas, e ficando David dois dias em Siclag,

Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag;

2 Succedeu ao terceiro dia que eis que um homem veiu do arraial de Saul com os vestidos rotos e com terra sobre a cabeça; e, succedeu que chegando elle a David, se lançou no chão, e se inclinou.

It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

3 E David lhe disse: D'onde vens? E elle lhe disse: Escapei do exercito d'Israel.

And David said to him, From where come you? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

4 E disse-lhe David: Como foi lá isso? peço-te, dize-m'o. E elle lhe respondeu: O povo fugiu da batalha, e muitos do povo cairam, e morreram, assim como tambem Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, foram mortos.

And David said to him, How went the matter? I pray you, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

5 E disse David ao mancebo que lhe trazia as novas: Como sabes tu que Saul e Jonathan, seu filho, são mortos?

And David said to the young man that told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

6 Então disse o mancebo que lhe dava a noticia: Cheguei por acaso á montanha de Gilboa, e eis que Saul estava encostado sobre a sua lança, e eis que carros e capitães de cavallaria apertavam com elle.

And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance on mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and, see, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

7 E, olhando elle para traz de si, viu-me a mim, e chamou-me; e eu disse: Eis-me aqui.

And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here am I.

8 E elle me disse: Quem és tu? E eu lhe disse: Sou amalekita.

And he said to me, Who are you? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.

9 Então elle me disse: Peço-te, arremessa-te sobre mim, e mata-me, porque angustias me teem cercado, pois toda a minha vida está ainda em mim.

He said to me again, Stand, I pray you, on me, and slay me: for anguish is come on me, because my life is yet whole in me.

10 Arremessei-me pois sobre elle, e o matei, porque bem sabia eu que não viveria depois da sua queda, e tomei a corôa que tinha na cabeça, e a manilha que trazia no braço, e as trouxe aqui a meu senhor.

So I stood on him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.

11 Então apanhou David os seus vestidos, e os rasgou, como tambem todos os homens que estavam com elle.

Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:

12 E prantearam, e choraram, e jejuaram até á tarde por Saul, e por Jonathan, seu filho, e pelo povo do Senhor, e pela casa de Israel, porque tinham caido á espada.

And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

13 Disse então David ao mancebo que lhe trouxera a nova: D'onde és tu? E disse elle: Sou filho de um homem estrangeiro, amalekita.

And David said to the young man that told him, From where are you? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.

14 E David lhe disse: Como não temeste tu estender a mão para matares ao ungido do Senhor?

And David said to him, How were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?

15 Então chamou David a um dos mancebos, e disse: Chega, e lança-te sobre elle. E elle o feriu, e morreu.

And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall on him. And he smote him that he died.

16 E disse-lhe David: O teu sangue seja sobre a tua cabeça, porque a tua propria bocca testificou contra ti, dizendo: Eu matei o ungido do Senhor.

And David said to him, Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.

17 E lamentou David a Saul e a Jonathan, seu filho, com esta lamentação,

And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:

18 Dizendo elle que ensinassem aos filhos de Judah o uso do arco: Eis que está escripto no livro do Recto:

(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

19 Ah, ornamento d'Israel! nos teus altos fui ferido: como cairam os valentes!

The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places: how are the mighty fallen!

20 Não o noticieis em Gath, não o publiqueis nas ruas d'Ascalon, para que não se alegrem as filhas dos philisteos, para que não saltem de contentamento as filhas dos incircumcisos.

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21 Vós, montes de Gilboa, nem orvalho, nem chuva caia sobre vós, nem sobre vós, campos de offertas alçadas, pois ahi desprezivelmente foi arrojado o escudo dos valentes, o escudo de Saul, como se não fôra ungido com oleo.

You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, on you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.

22 Do sangue dos feridos, da gordura dos valentes, nunca se retirou para traz o arco de Jonathan, nem voltou vazia a espada de Saul.

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.

23 Saul e Jonathan, tão amados e queridos na sua vida, tambem na sua morte se não separaram: eram mais ligeiros do que as aguias, mais fortes do que os leões.

Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

24 Vós, filhas d'Israel, chorae por Saul, que vos vestia de escarlata em delicias, que vos fazia trazer ornamentos de oiro sobre os vossos vestidos.

You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold on your apparel.

25 Como cairam os valentes no meio da peleja! Jonathan nos teus altos foi ferido,

How are the mighty fallen in the middle of the battle! O Jonathan, you were slain in your high places.

26 Angustiado estou por ti, meu irmão Jonathan; quão amabilissimo me eras! mais maravilhoso me era o teu amor do que o amor das mulheres.

I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant have you been to me: your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

27 Como cairam os valentes, e pereceram as armas de guerra!

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
