2 Samuel 2
1 Depois disto aconteceu que Davi consultou ao SENHOR, dizendo: Subirei a alguma das cidades de Judá? E o SENHOR lhe respondeu: Sobe. E Davi voltou a dizer: Para onde subirei? E ele lhe disse: A Hebrom.
And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of YHWH, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And YHWH said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2 E Davi subiu ali, e com ele suas duas mulheres, Ainoã jezreelita e Abigail, a que foi mulher de Nabal do Carmelo.
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
3 E levou também Davi consigo os homens que com ele haviam estado, cada um com sua família; os quais moraram nas cidades de Hebrom.
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 E vieram os homens de Judá, e ungiram ali a Davi por rei sobre a casa de Judá. E deram aviso a Davi, dizendo: Os de Jabes de Gileade são os que sepultaram a Saul.
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
5 E Davi enviou mensageiros aos de Jabes de Gileade, dizendo-lhes: Benditos sejais vós do SENHOR, que fizestes esta misericórdia com vosso senhor Saul em haver-lhe dado sepultura.
And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of YHWH, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your master, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6 Agora, pois, o SENHOR faça convosco misericórdia e verdade; e eu também vos farei bem por isto que fizestes.
And now YHWH shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7 Esforcem-se, pois agora vossas mãos, e sede valentes; pois que morto Saul vosso senhor, os da casa de Judá me ungiram por rei sobre eles.
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 Mas Abner filho de Ner, general de exército de Saul, tomou a Is-Bosete filho de Saul, e o fez passar ao acampamento:
But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9 E o constituiu rei sobre Gileade, Assuri, Jezreel, Efraim, Benjamim, e sobre todo Israel.
And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 De quarenta anos era Is-Bosete filho de Saul, quando começou a reinar sobre Israel; e reinou dois anos. Só a casa de Judá seguia a Davi.
Ish-bosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11 E foi o número dos dias que Davi reinou em Hebrom sobre a casa de Judá, sete anos e seis meses.
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 E Abner filho de Ner saiu de Maanaim a Gibeão com os servos de Is-Bosete filho de Saul.
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 E Joabe filho de Zeruia, e os servos de Davi, saíram e encontraram-nos junto ao tanque de Gibeão: e quando se juntaram, pararam-se os uns da uma parte do tanque, e os outros da outra.
And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14 E disse Abner a Joabe: Levantem-se agora os rapazes, e lutem diante de nós. E Joabe respondeu: Levante-se.
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Então se levantaram, e em número de doze, passaram de Benjamim da parte de Is-Bosete filho de Saul; e doze dos servos de Davi.
Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 E cada um lançou mão da cabeça de seu companheiro, e meteu-lhe sua espada pelo lado, caindo assim de uma vez; pelo que foi chamado aquele lugar, Helcate-Hazurim, o qual está em Gibeão.
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 E houve aquele dia uma batalha muito dura, e Abner e os homens de Israel foram vencidos pelos servos de Davi.
And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18 E estavam ali os três filhos de Zeruia: Joabe, e Abisai, e Asael. Este Asael era veloz de pés como um corço do campo.
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19 O qual Asael seguiu a Abner, indo atrás dele sem desviar-se à direita nem à esquerda.
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20 E Abner olhou atrás, e disse: Não és tu Asael? E ele respondeu: Sim.
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
21 Então Abner lhe disse: Aparta-te à direita ou à esquerda, e agarra-te algum dos rapazes, e toma para ti seus despojos. Porém Asael não quis desviar-se de detrás dele.
And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
22 E Abner voltou a dizer a Asael: Aparta-te de detrás de mim, porque te ferirei derrubando-te em terra, e depois como levantarei meu rosto a teu irmão Joabe?
And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23 E não querendo ele ir-se, feriu-o Abner com a ponta da lança pela quinta costela, e saiu-lhe a lança pelas costas, e caiu ali, e morreu naquele mesmo lugar. E todos os que vinham por aquele lugar, de onde Asael havia caído e estava morto, paravam.
Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24 Mas Joabe e Abisai seguiram a Abner; e o sol se pôs quando chegaram ao morro de Amá, que está diante de Gia, junto ao caminho do deserto de Gibeão.
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 E juntaram-se os filhos de Benjamim em um esquadrão com Abner, e pararam-se no cume do morro.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
26 E Abner deu vozes a Joabe, dizendo: Consumirá a espada perpetuamente? Não sabes tu que ao fim se segue amargura? Até quando não dirás ao povo que deixem de perseguir a seus irmãos?
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
27 E Joabe respondeu: Vive Deus que se não houvesses falado, já desde esta manhã o povo haveria deixado de perseguir a seus irmãos.
And Joab said, As Elohim liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Então Joabe tocou o chifre, e todo aquele povo se deteve, e não seguiu mais aos de Israel, nem lutou mais.
So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 E Abner e os seus caminharam pela campina toda aquela noite, e passando o Jordão cruzaram por todo Bitrom, e chegaram a Maanaim.
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30 Joabe também deixou de perseguir a Abner, e juntando todo aquele povo, faltaram dos servos de Davi dezenove homens, e Asael.
And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31 Mas os servos de Davi feriram dos de Benjamim e dos de Abner, trezentos e sessenta homens, que morreram. Tomaram logo a Asael, e sepultaram-no no sepulcro de seu pai em Belém.
But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
32 E caminharam toda aquela noite Joabe e os seus, e amanheceu-lhes em Hebrom.
And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
