2 Samuel 5

1 Então todas as tribos de Israel vieram a David, a Hebron, e falaram, dizendo: Eis-nos aqui, teus ossos e tua carne somos.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.

2 E também de antes, sendo Saul ainda rei sobre nós, eras tu o que saías e entravas com Israel; e também o Senhor te disse: Tu apascentarás o meu povo de Israel, e tu serás chefe sobre Israel.

Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”

3 Assim pois todos os anciãos de Israel vieram ao rei, a Hebron; e o rei David fez com eles aliança em Hebron, perante o Senhor: e ungiram a David rei sobre Israel.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel.

4 Da idade de trinta anos era David quando começou a reinar: quarenta anos reinou.

David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.

5 Em Hebron reinou sobre Judá sete anos e seis meses, e em Jerusalém reinou trinta e três anos sobre todo o Israel e Judá.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 E partiu o rei com os seus homens a Jerusalém, contra os jebuseus que habitavam naquela terra; e falaram a David, dizendo: Não entrarás aqui, que os cegos e os coxos te rechaçaram daqui (querendo dizer: Não entrará David aqui)

Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”

7 Porém David tomou a fortaleza de Sião: esta é a cidade de David.

Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).

8 Porque David disse naquele dia: Qualquer que ferir aos jebuseus, e chegar ao canal, e aos coxos e aos cegos, que a alma de David aborrece, será cabeça e capitão. Por isso se diz: Nem cego nem coxo entrará nesta casa.

On that day he said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the lame and blind who are despised by David.” That is why it is said, “The blind and the lame will never enter the palace.”

9 Assim habitou David na fortaleza, e a chamou a cidade de David: e David foi edificando em redor, desde milo até dentro.

So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.

10 E David se ia cada vez mais aumentando e crescendo, porque o Senhor Deus dos exércitos era com ele.

And David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of Hosts was with him.

11 E Hirão, rei de Tiro, enviou mensageiros a David, e madeira de cedro, e carpinteiros, e pedreiros: edificaram a David uma casa.

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.

12 E entendeu David que o Senhor o confirmara rei sobre Israel, e que exaltara o seu reino por amor do seu povo.

And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.

13 E tomou David mais concubinas e mulheres de Jerusalém, depois que viera de Hebron: e nasceram a David mais filhos e filhas.

After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.

14 E estes são os nomes dos que lhe nasceram em Jerusalém: Sammua, e Sobab, e Nathan, e Salomão,

These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

15 E Ibhar, e Elisua, e Nepheg, e Japhia,

Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

16 E Elisama, e Eliada, e Eliphelet.

Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

17 Ouvindo pois os philisteus que haviam ungido a David rei sobre Israel, todos os philisteus subiram em busca de David: o que ouvindo David, desceu à fortaleza.

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.

18 E os philisteus vieram, e se estenderam pelo vale de Rephaim.

Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

19 E David consultou ao Senhor, dizendo: Subirei contra os philisteus? entregar-mos-ás nas minhas mãos? E disse o Senhor a David: Sobe, porque certamente entregarei os philisteus nas tuas mãos.

So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

20 Então veio David a Baal-perasim; e feriu-os ali David, e disse: Rompeu o Senhor a meus inimigos diante de mim, como quem rompe águas. Por isso chamou o nome daquele lugar Baal-perasim.

So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.

21 E deixaram ali os seus ídolos; e David e os seus homens os tomaram.

There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away.

22 E os philisteus tornaram a subir, e se estenderam pelo vale de Rephaim.

Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

23 E David consultou ao Senhor, o qual disse: Não subirás: mas rodeia por detraz deles, e virás a eles por defronte das amoreiras.

So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.

24 E há de ser que, ouvindo tu um estrondo de marcha pelas copas das amoreiras, então te apressarás: porque o Senhor saiu então diante de ti, a ferir o arraial dos philisteus.

As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

25 E fez David assim como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado: e feriu os philisteus desde Gibeah, até chegar a Gezer.

So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
