< 2 Samuel 21 >
1 E houve em dias de David uma fome de três anos, de ano em ano; e David consultou ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe disse: É por causa de Saul e da sua casa sanguinária, porque matou os gibeonitas.
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for [his] house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites.
2 Então chamou o rei aos gibeonitas, e lhes falou (ora os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas do resto dos amorreus, e os filhos de Israel lhes tinham jurado, porém Saul procurou feri-los no seu zelo à causa dos filhos de Israel e de Judah).
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remainder of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
3 Disse pois David aos gibeonitas: Que quereis que eu vos faça? e que satisfação vos darei, para que abençoeis a herança do Senhor?
And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
4 Então os gibeonitas lhe disseram: Não é por prata nem ouro que temos questão com Saul e com sua casa; nem tão pouco pretendemos matar pessoa alguma em Israel. E disse ele: Que é pois que quereis que vos faça?
And the Gibeonites said to him, As to Saul and his house, it is with us no question of receiving silver or gold, neither is it for us to have any man put to death in Israel. And he said, What ye say will I do for you.
5 E disseram ao rei: O homem que nos destruiu, e intentou contra nós que fossemos assolados, sem que podessemos subsistir em termo algum de Israel,
And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in all the borders of Israel,
6 De seus filhos se nos dêem sete homens, para que os enforquemos ao Senhor em Gibeah de Saul, o eleito do Senhor. E disse o rei: Eu os darei.
let seven men of his sons be given up to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give [them].
7 Porém o rei poupou a Mephiboseth, filho de Jonathan, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento do Senhor, que entre eles houvera, entre David e Jonathan, filho de Saul.
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Porém tomou o rei os dois filhos de Rispa, filha de Aia, que tinha parido a Saul, a saber a Armoni e a Mephiboseth; como também os cinco filhos da irmã de Michal, filha de Saul, que parira a Adriel, filho de Barzillai, meholathita.
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of [the sister of] Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
9 E os entregou na mão dos gibeonitas, os quais os enforcaram no monte, perante o Senhor; e cairam estes sete juntamente: e foram mortos nos dias da sega, nos dias primeiros, no princípio da sega das cevadas.
and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before Jehovah. And they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the first days of the harvest, in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Então Rispa, filha de Aia, tomou um pano de cilício, e estendeu-lho sobre uma penha, desde o princípio da sega, até que destilou a água sobre eles do céu: e não deixou as aves do céu pousar sobre eles de dia, nem os animais do campo de noite.
Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens, and suffered neither the fowl of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 E foi dito a David o que fizera Rispa, filha de Aia, concubina de Saul.
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 Então foi David, e tomou os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho, dos moradores de Jabéz-gilead, os quais os furtaram da rua de Beth-san, onde os philisteus os tinham pendurado, quando os philisteus feriram a Saul em Gilboa.
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the open place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, the day the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;
13 E fez subir dali os ossos de Saul, e os ossos de Jonathan seu filho: e ajuntaram também os ossos dos enforcados.
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 Enterraram os ossos de Saul, e de Jonathan seu filho na terra de Benjamin, em Zela, na sepultura de seu pai Kis, e fizeram tudo o que o rei ordenara; e depois disto Deus se aplacou com a terra.
And they buried [them] with the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they did all that the king had commanded. And afterwards God was propitious to the land.
15 Tiveram mais os philisteus uma peleja contra Israel: e desceu David, e com ele os seus servos: e tanto pelejaram contra os philisteus, que David se cançou.
And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. And David was exhausted.
16 E Isbi-benob, que era dos filhos do gigante, e o peso de cuja lança tinha trezentos siclos de peso de cobre, e que cingia uma espada nova, este intentou ferir a David.
And Ishbibenob, who was of the children of Raphah — the weight of his lance was three hundred shekels of bronze, and he was girded with new [armour] — thought to smite David.
17 Porém Abisai, filho de Zeruia, o socorreu, e feriu o philisteu, e o matou: então os homens de David lhe juraram, dizendo: Nunca mais sairás conosco à peleja, para que não apagues a lâmpada de Israel.
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
18 E aconteceu depois disto que houve em Gob ainda outra peleja contra os philisteus: então Sibbechai, o husatita, feriu a Saph, que era dos filhos do gigante.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines, at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the children of Raphah.
19 Houve mais outra peleja contra os philisteus em Gob: e El-hanan, filho de Jaaré-oregim, o beth-lehemita feriu Goliath, o getheu, de cuja lança era a haste como órgão de tecelão.
And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, smote Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Houve ainda também outra peleja em Gath, onde estava um homem de Alta estatura, que tinha em cada mão seis dedos, e em cada pé outros seis, vinte e quatro por todos, e também este nascera do gigante.
And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, that had on each hand six fingers, and on each foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to Raphah.
21 E injuriava a Israel: porém Jonathan, filho de Simea, irmão de David, o feriu.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
22 Estes quatro nasceram ao gigante em Gath: e cairam pela mão de David e pela mão de seus servos.
These four were born to Raphah, in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
