2 Samuel 12
1 E o Senhor enviou Nathan a David: e, entrando ele a David, disse-lhe: Havia numa cidade dois homens, um rico e outro pobre.
And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
2 O rico tinha muitíssimas ovelhas e vacas;
And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.
3 Mas o pobre não tinha coisa nenhuma, senão uma pequena cordeira que comprara e criara; e ela tinha crescido com ele e com seus filhos igualmente; do seu bocado comia, e do seu copo bebia, e dormia em seu regaço, e a tinha como filha.
But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4 E, vindo ao homem rico um viajante, deixou este de tomar das suas ovelhas e das suas vacas para guizar para o viajante que viera a ele: e tomou a cordeira do homem pobre, e a preparou para o homem que viera a ele.
And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
5 Então o furor de David se acendeu em grande maneira contra aquele homem, e disse a Nathan: Vive o Senhor, que digno de morte é o homem que fez isso.
And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
6 E pela cordeira tornará a dar o quadruplicado, porque fez tal coisa, e porque não se compadeceu.
And he shall restore the lamb sevenfold, because he has not spared.
7 Então disse Nathan a David: Tu és este homem. Assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: Eu te ungi rei sobre Israel, e eu te livrei das mãos de Saul,
And Nathan said to David, You are the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out the hand of Saul;
8 E te dei a casa de teu senhor, e as mulheres de teu senhor em teu seio, e também te dei a casa de Israel e de Judá, e, se isto é pouco, mais te acrescentaria tais e tais coisas.
and I gave you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given you yet more.
9 Porque, pois, desprezaste a palavra do Senhor, fazendo o mal diante de seus olhos? A Urias, o hetheu, feriste à espada, e a sua mulher tomaste por tua mulher; e a ele mataste com a espada dos filhos de Ammon:
Why have you set at nothing the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? you have slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and you have taken his wife to be your wife, and you have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Agora, pois, não se apartará a espada jamais da tua casa, porquanto me desprezaste, e tomaste a mulher de Urias, o hetheu, para que te seja por mulher.
Now therefore the sword shall not depart from your house for ever, because you has set me at nothing, and you have taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be your wife.
11 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que suscitarei da tua mesma casa o mal sobre ti, e tomarei tuas mulheres perante os teus olhos, e as darei a teu próximo, o qual se deitará com tuas mulheres perante este sol.
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against you evil out of your house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and will give them to your neighbour, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Porque tu o fizeste em oculto, mas eu farei este negócio perante todo o Israel e perante o sol.
For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Então disse David a Nathan: Pequei contra o Senhor. E disse Nathan a David: também o Senhor traspassou o teu pecado; não morrerás.
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.
14 Todavia, porquanto com este feito deste lugar sobremaneira a que os inimigos do Senhor blasfemem, também o filho que te nasceu certamente morrerá.
Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you shall surely die.
15 Então Nathan se foi para sua casa; e o Senhor feriu a criança que a mulher de Urias parira a David, e adoeceu gravemente.
And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord struck the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
16 E buscou David a Deus pela criança; e jejuou David, e entrou, e passou a noite prostrado sobre a terra:
And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
17 Então os anciãos da sua casa se levantaram a ele, para o levantar da terra; porém ele não quis, e não comeu pão com eles
And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.
18 E sucedeu que ao sétimo dia morreu a criança: e temiam os servos de David dizer-lhe que a criança era morta, porque diziam: Eis que, sendo a criança ainda viva, lhe falavamos, porém não dava ouvidos à nossa voz; como pois lhe diremos que a criança é morta? Porque mais mal lhe faria.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he listened not to our voice; and you should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
19 Viu porém David que seus servos falavam baixo, e entendeu David que a criança era morta, pelo que disse David a seus servos: É morta a criança? E eles disseram: É morta.
And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
20 Então David se levantou da terra, e se lavou, e se ungiu, e mudou de vestidos, e entrou na casa do Senhor, e adorou: então veio a sua casa, e pediu pão; e lhe puseram pão, e comeu.
Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
21 E disseram-lhe seus servos: Que é isto que fizeste? Pela criança viva jejuaste e choraste; porém depois que morreu a criança te levantaste e comeste pão
And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that you have done concerning the child? while it was yet living you did fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead you did rise up, and did eat bread, and drink.
22 E disse ele: Vivendo ainda a criança, jejuei e chorei, porque dizia: Quem sabe se o Senhor se compadecerá de mim, e viva a criança?
And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?
23 Porém, agora que é morta, porque jejuaria eu agora? Poderei eu faze-la mais voltar? Eu irei a ela, porém ela não voltará para mim.
But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 Então consolou David a Bath-seba, sua mulher, e entrou a ela, e se deitou com ela: e pariu ela um filho, e chamou o seu nome Salomão: e o Senhor o amou.
And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 E enviou pela mão do profeta Nathan, e chamou o seu nome Jedid-jah, por amor do Senhor.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
26 Entretanto pelejou Joab contra Rabba, dos filhos de Ammon, e tomou a cidade real.
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Então mandou Joab mensageiros a David, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabba, e também tomei a cidade das águas.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.
28 Ajunta, pois, agora o resto do povo, e cerca a cidade, e toma-a, para que, tomando eu a cidade, não se aclame sobre ela o meu nome.
And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
29 Então ajuntou David a todo o povo, e marchou para Rabba, e pelejou contra ela, e a tomou.
And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
30 E tirou a coroa da cabeça do seu rei, cujo peso era dum talento de ouro, e havia nela pedras preciosas, e foi posta sobre a cabeça de David: e da cidade levou mui grande despojo.
And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
31 E, trazendo o povo que havia nela, o pôs às serras, e às talhadeiras de ferro, e aos machados de ferro, e os fez passar por forno de tijolos; e assim fez a todas as cidades dos filhos de Ammon: e voltou David e todo o povo para Jerusalém.
And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
