2 Samuel 12
1 E o SENHOR enviou Natã a Davi, o qual vindo a ele, disse-lhe: Havia dois homens em uma cidade, um rico, e o outro pobre.
And the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2 O rico tinha numerosas ovelhas e vacas:
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
3 Mas o pobre não tinha mais que uma só cordeira, que ele havia comprado e criado, e que havia crescido com ele e com seus filhos juntamente, comendo de seu bocado, e bebendo de seu vaso, e dormindo em seu fundo: e tinha-a como de uma vez filha.
But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4 E veio um de caminho ao homem rico; e ele não quis tomar de suas ovelhas e de suas vacas, para guisar ao caminhante que lhe havia vindo, mas sim que tomou a ovelha daquele homem pobre, e preparou-a para aquele que lhe havia vindo.
And there came a travelers to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come to him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Então se acendeu o furor de Davi em grande maneira contra aquele homem, e disse a Natã: Vive o SENHOR, que o que tal fez é digno de morte.
And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD lives, the man that has done this thing shall surely die:
6 E que ele deve pagar a cordeira com quatro tantos, porque fez esta tal coisa, e não teve misericórdia.
And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
7 Então disse Natã a Davi: Tu és aquele homem. Assim disse o SENHOR, Deus de Israel: Eu te ungi por rei sobre Israel, e te livre da mão de Saul;
And Nathan said to David, You are the man. Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul;
8 Eu te dei a casa de teu senhor, e as mulheres de teu senhor em teu fundo: demais disto te dei a casa de Israel e de Judá; e se isto é pouco, eu te acrescentarei tais e tais coisas.
And I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given to you such and such things.
9 Por que, pois, tiveste em pouco a palavra do SENHOR, fazendo o que era mau diante de seus olhos? A Urias Heteu feriste à espada, e tomaste por tua mulher a sua mulher, e a ele mataste com a espada dos filhos de Amom.
Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? you have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Pelo qual agora não se apartará jamais de tua casa a espada; porquanto me menosprezaste, e tomaste a mulher de Urias Heteu para que fosse tua mulher.
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house; because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
11 Assim disse o SENHOR: Eis que eu levantarei sobre ti o mal de tua mesma casa, e tomarei tuas mulheres diante de teus olhos, e as darei a teu próximo, o qual se deitará com tuas mulheres à vista deste sol.
Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Porque tu o fizeste em secreto; mas eu farei isto diante de todo Israel, e diante do sol.
For you did it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Então disse Davi a Natã: Pequei contra o SENHOR. E Natã disse a Davi: Também o SENHOR removeu teu pecado: não morrerás.
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
14 Mas porquanto com este negócio fizeste blasfemar aos inimigos do SENHOR, o filho que te nasceu morrerá certamente.
However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die.
15 E Natã se voltou à sua casa. E o SENHOR feriu ao menino que a mulher de Urias havia dado à luz a Davi, e o fez ficar gravemente doente.
And Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16 Então rogou Davi a Deus pelo menino; e jejuou Davi, recolheu-se, e passou a noite deitado em terra.
David therefore sought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.
17 E levantando-se os anciãos de sua casa foram a ele para fazê-lo levantar da terra; mas ele não quis, nem comeu com eles pão.
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 E ao sétimo dia morreu o menino; mas seus servos não ousavam fazer-lhe saber que o menino era morto, dizendo entre si: Quando o menino ainda vivia, lhe falávamos, e não queria ouvir nossa voz: pois quanto mais mal lhe fará, se lhe dissermos que o menino está morto?
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 Mas Davi vendo a seus servos falar entre si, entendeu que o menino era morto; pelo que disse Davi a seus servos: É morto o menino? E eles responderam: Morto é.
But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Então Davi se levantou da terra, e lavou-se e ungiu-se, e mudou suas roupas, e entrou à casa do SENHOR, e adorou. E depois veio à sua casa, e mandou, e puseram-lhe pão, e comeu.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
21 E disseram-lhe seus servos: Que é isto que fizeste? Pelo menino, vivendo ainda, jejuavas e choravas; e ele morto, levantaste-te e comeste pão.
Then said his servants to him, What thing is this that you have done? you did fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, you did rise and eat bread.
22 E ele respondeu: Vivendo ainda o menino, eu jejuava e chorava, dizendo: Quem sabe se Deus terá compaixão de mim, por maneira que viva o menino?
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 Mas agora que já é morto, para que tenho de jejuar? Poderei eu fazer-lhe voltar? Eu vou a ele, mas ele não voltará a mim.
But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 E consolou Davi a Bate-Seba sua mulher, e entrando a ela, dormiu com ela; e deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Salomão, ao qual o SENHOR amou:
And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
25 Que enviou por meio de Natã profeta, e chamou seu nome Jedidias, por causa do SENHOR.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
26 E Joabe lutava contra Rabá dos filhos de Amom, e tomou a cidade real.
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Então enviou Joabe mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: Eu lutei contra Rabá, e tomei a cidade das águas.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
28 Junta, pois, agora o povo que resta, e assenta acampamento contra a cidade, e toma-a; porque tomando eu a cidade, não se chame de meu nome.
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
29 E juntando Davi todo aquele povo foi contra Rabá, e combateu-a, e tomou-a.
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 E tomou a coroa de seu rei de sua cabeça, a qual pesava um talento de ouro, e tinha pedras preciosas; e foi posta sobre a cabeça de Davi. E trouxe muito grande despojo da cidade.
And he took their king’s crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
31 Tirou também o povo que estava nela, e o pôs ao trabalho de serras, e de trilhos de ferro, e de machados de ferro; e os fez passar por fornos de tijolos: e o mesmo fez a todas as cidades dos filhos de Amom. Voltou-se logo Davi com todo o povo a Jerusalém.
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
