1 Crônicas 14
1 Então Hirão, rei de Tiro, enviou mensageiros a Davi, e também madeira de cedro, pedreiros e carpinteiros, para lhe edificarem uma casa.
One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
2 E Davi entendeu que o SENHOR o tinha confirmado por rei sobre Israel, pois seu reino tinha sido exaltado, por causa de seu povo Israel.
[When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
3 E Davi teve mais esposas em Jerusalém, e Davi ainda gerou filhos e filhas.
David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
4 E estes são os nomes dos filhos que teve em Jerusalém: Samua, Sobabe, Natã, Salomão,
The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Ibar, Elisua, Elpelete,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogá, Nefegue, Jafia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elisama, Beeliada e Elifelete.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Quando, pois, os filisteus ouviram que Davi havia sido ungido rei sobre todo Israel, todos os filisteus subiram em busca de Davi. E quando Davi ouviu falar disso, logo saiu contra eles.
When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
9 E os filisteus vieram e ocuparam o vale de Refaim.
The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
10 Então Davi consultou a Deus, dizendo: Subirei contra os filisteus? E tu os entregarás em minhas mãos? E o SENHOR lhe disse: Sobe, porque eu os entregarei em teus mãos.
David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
11 Davi subiu, pois, Baal-Perazim, e ali os derrotou. Então Davi disse: Por minha mão Deus rompeu meus inimigos, como se rompem as águas. Por isso chamaram o nome daquele lugar Baal-Perazim.
So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
12 E ali deixaram seus deuses, e Davi mandou que fossem queimados a fogo.
[As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
13 Porém os filisteus voltaram a ocupar o vale.
But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
14 Então Davi voltou a consultar a Deus, e Deus lhe disse: Não subas por trás deles; em vez disso rodeia-os, e vem contra eles em frente das amoreiras;
So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
15 E será que ouvires, quando tu ouvires o ruído do marchar [das tropas] pelas copas das amoreiras, então sai à batalha; porque Deus sairá adiante de ti para derrotar o acampamento dos filisteus.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
16 E Davi fez como Deus lhe mandara, e feriram o acampamento dos filisteus desde Gibeão até Gezer.
So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
17 E a fama de Davi se espalhou por todas aquelas terras; e o SENHOR fez todas aquelas nações temerem a Davi.
So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
