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.
The LORD sent Nathan to David. 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 very 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, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
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.
A traveler came to the rich man, and he didn’t want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had 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.
David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
6 E que ele deve pagar a cordeira com quatro tantos, porque fez esta tal coisa, e não teve misericórdia.
He must 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;
Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘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.
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 would have been too little, I would have added to you many more 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 LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, 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 will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife 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.
“This is what the LORD says: ‘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 will 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 this 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.
David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will 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 LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will 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.
Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he 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 begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
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.
The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t 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?
On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm 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 were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” 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 clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
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 his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate 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?
He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not 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 will go to him, but he will 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:
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. 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 named him Jedidiah, for the LORD’s sake.
26 E Joabe lutava contra Rabá dos filhos de Amom, e tomou a cidade real.
Now 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.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I 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 by my name.”
29 E juntando Davi todo aquele povo foi contra Rabá, e combateu-a, e tomou-a.
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.
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
