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.
All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and told him, “We are your 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.
Previously when Saul was our king, you were the one who led the Israelite army into battle. The Lord told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be their ruler.’”
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.
All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made an agreement with them in the Lord's presence. Then they anointed him king of Israel.
4 Da idade de trinta anos era David quando começou a reinar: quarenta anos reinou.
David was thirty when he became king, and he reigned for 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.
He reigned over Judah seven years and six months from Hebron, and he reigned over all of Israel and Judah for thirty-three years from Jerusalem.
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)
David the king and his men went to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites who were living there. The Jebusites told David: “You'll never enter here. Even the blind and lame could stop you.” They were convinced that David could not get in.
7 Porém David tomou a fortaleza de Sião: esta é a cidade de David.
But David did capture the fortress of Zion, now known as 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.
At that time he said, “If we are to successfully conquer the Jebusites we'll have to go up the water shaft to attack these ‘lame and blind’ —these people who hate David. This is why it's said, ‘The blind and the lame will never enter the house.’”
9 Assim habitou David na fortaleza, e a chamou a cidade de David: e David foi edificando em redor, desde milo até dentro.
David went and lived in the fortress, and named it the City of David. He extended it in all directions, starting from the outer supporting terraces and moving inwards.
10 E David se ia cada vez mais aumentando e crescendo, porque o Senhor Deus dos exércitos era com ele.
David became increasingly powerful, for the Lord God Almighty 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.
King Hiram of Tyre sent representatives to David, together with cedar timber, 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.
David realized that the Lord had installed him as king of Israel, and had made his kingdom great 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 moved from Hebron, David added more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and he had more sons and daughters.
14 E estes são os nomes dos que lhe nasceram em Jerusalém: Sammua, e Sobab, e Nathan, e Salomão,
These are the names of his children born 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 of Israel, the whole Philistine army came out to capture him, but David found out and went inside the stronghold.
18 E os philisteus vieram, e se estenderam pelo vale de Rephaim.
The Philistines came and spread out across 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.
David asked the Lord “Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” “Yes, go,” the Lord replied, “for I will definitely hand them over to you.”
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.
David went to Baal-perazim and he defeated the Philistines there. “Like a flood that bursts out, so the Lord has burst out against my enemies right before me,” David declared. So he named that place Baal-perazim.
21 E deixaram ali os seus ídolos; e David e os seus homens os tomaram.
The Philistines left their idols behind, and David and his men removed them.
22 E os philisteus tornaram a subir, e se estenderam pelo vale de Rephaim.
A while later the Philistines came again and spread out across 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.
David asked the Lord what to do. The Lord replied, “Don't attack them directly, but go round 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.
Immediately you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees be ready, because this means the Lord has marched out before you to attack the Philistine camp.”
25 E fez David assim como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado: e feriu os philisteus desde Gibeah, até chegar a Gezer.
David followed the Lord's orders, and he slaughtered the Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
