2 Samuel 11
1 E aconteceu que, tendo decorrido um ano, no tempo em que os reis saem, enviou David a Joab, e a seus servos com ele, e a todo o Israel, para que destruíssem os filhos de Ammon, e cercassem a Rabba; porém David ficou em Jerusalém.
Now it happened that, at the turn of the year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all of Israel, and they laid waste to the sons of Ammon, and they besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
2 E aconteceu à hora da tarde que David se levantou do seu leito, e andava passeando no terraço da casa real, e viu do terraço a uma mulher que se estava lavando: e era esta mulher mui formosa à vista.
While these things were taking place, David happened to arise from his bed after midday, and he walked upon the terrace of the king’s house. And he saw, across from his terrace, a woman washing herself. And the woman was very beautiful.
3 E enviou David, e perguntou por aquela mulher: e disseram: Porventura não é esta Bathseba, filha de Eliam, mulher de Urias, o hetheu?
Therefore, the king sent and inquired who the woman might be. And it was reported to him that she was Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah, the Hittite.
4 Então enviou David mensageiros, e a mandou trazer; e, entrando ela a ele, se deitou com ela (e já ela se tinha purificado da sua imundícia): então voltou ela para sua casa.
And so, David sent messengers, and he took her. And when she had entered to him, he slept with her. And presently, she was purified from her uncleanness.
5 E a mulher concebeu; e enviou, e fê-lo saber a David, e disse: Prenhe estou.
And she returned to her house, having conceived an unborn child. And sending, she informed David, and she said, “I have conceived.”
6 Então enviou David a Joab, dizendo: Envia-me Urias o hetheu. E Joab enviou Urias a David.
Then David sent to Joab, saying, “Send me Uriah, the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Vindo pois Urias a ele, perguntou David como ficava Joab, e como ficava o povo, e como ia a guerra.
And Uriah went to David. And David inquired whether Joab was doing well, and about the people, and how the war was being conducted.
8 Depois disse David a Urias: Desce a tua casa, e lava os teus pés. E, saindo Urias da casa real, logo saiu atráz dele iguaria do rei.
And David said to Uriah, “Go into your house, and wash your feet.” And Uriah departed from the house of the king. And a meal from the king followed after him.
9 Porém Urias se deitou à porta da casa real, com todos os servos do seu senhor: e não desceu à sua casa.
But Uriah slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.
10 E o fizeram saber a David, dizendo: Urias não desceu a sua casa. Então disse David a Urias: Não vens tu de uma jornada? Porque não desceste a tua casa?
And it was reported to David by some, saying, “Uriah did not go into his house.” And David said to Uriah: “Did you not arrive from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”
11 E disse Urias a David: A arca, e Israel, e Judá ficam em tendas; e Joab meu senhor e os servos de meu senhor estão acampados no campo; e hei de eu entrar na minha casa, para comer e beber, e para me deitar com minha mulher? Pela tua vida, e pela vida da tua alma, não farei tal coisa.
And Uriah said to David: “The ark of God, and Israel and Judah, dwell in tents, and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, stay upon the face of the earth. And should I then go into my own house, so that I may eat and drink, and sleep with my wife? By your welfare and by the welfare of your soul, I will not do this thing.”
12 Então disse David a Urias: Fica cá ainda hoje, e amanhã te despedirei. Urias pois ficou em Jerusalém aquele dia e o seguinte.
Therefore, David said to Uriah, “Even so, remain here today, and tomorrow I will send you away.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem, on that day and the next.
13 E David o convidou, e comeu e bebeu diante dele, e o embebedou: e à tarde saiu a deitar-se na sua cama como os servos de seu senhor; porém não desceu a sua casa.
And David called him, so that he might eat and drink before him, and he made him inebriated. And departing in the evening, he slept on his bedding, with the servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.
14 E sucedeu que pela manhã David escreveu uma carta a Joab: e mandou-lha por mão de Urias.
Therefore, when morning arrived, David wrote a letter to Joab. And he sent it by the hand of Uriah,
15 Escreveu na carta, dizendo: Ponde a Urias na frente da maior força da peleja; e retirai-vos de detraz dele, para que seja ferido e morra.
writing in the letter: “Place Uriah opposite the warfare, where the battle is the strongest, and then abandon him, so that, having been wounded, he may die.”
16 Aconteceu, pois, que, tendo Joab observado bem a cidade, pôs a Urias no lugar onde sabia que havia homens valentes.
And so, when Joab was besieging the city, he positioned Uriah in the place where he knew the strongest men to be.
17 E, saindo os homens da cidade, e pelejando com Joab, cairam alguns do povo, dos servos de David: e morreu também Urias, o hetheu.
And the men, departing from the city, made war against Joab. And some of the people among the servants of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
18 Então enviou Joab, e fez saber a David todo o successo daquela peleja.
And so, Joab sent and reported to David every word about the battle.
19 E deu ordem ao mensageiro, dizendo: Acabando tu de contar ao rei todo o successo desta peleja;
And he instructed the messenger, saying: “When you have completed all the words about the war to the king,
20 E sucedendo que o rei se encolerize, e te diga: Porque vos chegastes tão perto da cidade a pelejar? Não sabieis vós que haviam de atirar do muro?
if you see him to be angry, and if he says: ‘Why did you draw near to the wall in order to fight? Are you ignorant that many darts are thrown from above the wall?
21 Quem feriu a Abimelech, filho de Jerubbeseth? Não lançou uma mulher sobre ele do muro um pedaço de uma mó corredora, de que morreu em Thebes? Porque vos chegastes ao muro? Então dirás: também morreu teu servo Urias, o hetheu.
Who struck down Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal? Did not a woman throw a fragment of a millstone upon him from the wall, and so kill him at Thebez? Why did you approach beside the wall?’ then you shall say: ‘Your servant Uriah, the Hittite, also lies dead.’”
22 E foi o mensageiro, e entrou, e fez saber a David tudo, porque Joab o enviara dizer.
Therefore, the messenger departed. And he went and described to David all that Joab had instructed him.
23 E disse o mensageiro a David: Na verdade que mais poderosos foram aqueles homens do que nós, e sairam a nós ao campo; porém nós fomos contra eles, até à entrada da porta
And the messenger said to David: “The men prevailed against us, and they went out to us in the field. Then we pursued them, making an assault, even to the gate of the city.
24 Então os flecheiros atiraram contra os teus servos desde o alto do muro, e morreram alguns dos servos do rei: e também morreu o teu servo Urias, o hetheu.
And the archers directed their arrows at your servants from the wall above. And some of the king’s servants died, and then also your servant Uriah the Hittite died.”
25 E disse David ao mensageiro: Assim dirás a Joab: Não te pareça isto mal aos teus olhos; pois a espada tanto consome este como aquele: esforça a tua peleja contra a cidade, e a derrota: esforça-o tu assim.
And David said to the messenger: “You shall say these things to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter dishearten you. For varied are the events of war. Now this one, and now that one, is consumed by the sword. Encourage your warriors against the city and exhort them, so that you may destroy it.’”
26 Ouvindo pois a mulher de Urias que Urias seu marido era morto, lamentou a seu senhor.
Then the wife of Uriah heard that her husband Uriah had died, and she mourned for him.
27 E, passado o nojo, enviou David, e a recolheu em sua casa, e lhe foi por mulher, e pariu-lhe um filho. Porém esta coisa que David fez pareceu mal aos olhos do Senhor.
But when the lamentation was completed, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore a son to him. And this word, which David had done, was displeasing in the sight of the Lord.
