< 2 Samuel 21 >
1 E nos dias de Davi houve fome por três anos consecutivos. E Davi consultou ao SENHOR, e o SENHOR lhe disse: É por Saul, e por aquela casa de sangue; porque matou aos gibeonitas.
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 Então o rei chamou aos gibeonitas, e falou-lhes. (Os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas sim do resto dos amorreus, aos quais os filhos de Israel fizeram juramento; mas Saul havia procurado matá-los com motivo de zelo pelos filhos de Israel e de Judá).
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and yet Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah),
3 Disse, pois Davi aos gibeonitas: Que vos farei, e com que expiarei para que abençoeis à herança do SENHOR?
and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
4 E os gibeonitas lhe responderam: Não temos nós queixa sobre prata nem sobre ouro com Saul, e com sua casa: nem queremos que morra homem de Israel. E ele lhes disse: O que vós disserdes vos farei.
And the Gibeonites said to him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that I will do for you.
5 E eles responderam ao rei: Daquele homem que nos destruiu, e que tramou contra nós, para nos exterminar sem deixar nada de nós em todo aquele termo de Israel;
And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 Deem-se a nós sete homens de seus filhos, para que os enforquemos ao SENHOR em Gibeá de Saul, o escolhido do SENHOR. E o rei disse: Eu os darei.
let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give them.
7 E perdoou o rei a Mefibosete, filho de Jônatas, filho de Saul, pelo juramento do SENHOR que havia entre eles, entre Davi e Jônatas filho de Saul.
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Mas tomou o rei dois filhos de Rispa filha de Aiá, os quais ela havia dado à luz de Saul, a saber, a Armoni e a Mefibosete; e cinco filhos de Mical filha de Saul, os quais ela havia dado à luz de Adriel, filho de Barzilai meolatita;
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 E entregou-os em mãos dos gibeonitas, e eles os enforcaram no monte diante do SENHOR: e morreram juntos aqueles sete, os quais foram mortos no tempo da colheita, nos primeiros dias, no princípio da colheita das cevadas.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they hanged them in the mountain before Jehovah, and they fell all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Tomando logo Rispa filha de Aiá um saco, estendeu-o sobre um penhasco, desde o princípio da colheita até que choveu sobre eles água do céu; e não deixou a nenhuma ave do céu assentar-se sobre eles de dia, nem animais do campo de noite.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven. And she neither allowed the birds of the heaven to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 E foi dito a Davi o que fazia Rispa filha de Aiá, concubina de Saul.
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 Então Davi foi, e tomou os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho, dos homens de Jabes de Gileade, que os haviam furtado da praça de Bete-Seã, de onde os haviam pendurado os filisteus, quando os filisteus mataram a Saul em Gilboa:
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa,
13 E fez levar dali os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho; e juntaram também os ossos dos enforcados.
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
14 E sepultaram os ossos de Saul e os de seu filho Jônatas em terra de Benjamim, em Selá, no sepulcro de Quis seu pai; e fizeram tudo o que o rei havia mandado. Depois se aplacou Deus com a terra.
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulcher of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
15 Quando os filisteus voltaram a fazer guerra a Israel, Davi desceu com os seus servos, e lutaram contra os filisteus; e Davi se cansou.
And the Philistines had war again with Israel. And David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David grew faint,
16 Nisso, Isbi-Benobe, que era dos filhos do gigante, e que cuja lança pesava trezentos siclos de bronze, estando ele cingido com uma espada nova, pretendeu ferir Davi.
and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 Mas Abisai, filho de Zeruia, o socorreu, feriu o filisteu, e o matou. Então os homens de Davi lhe juraram, dizendo: “Nunca mais sairás conosco à batalha, para que não apagues a lâmpada de Israel.”
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shall no more go out with us to battle, that thou not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 Outra segunda guerra houve depois em Gobe contra os filisteus; então Sibecai, husatita, feriu a Safe, que era dos filhos do gigante.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
19 Outra guerra houve em Gobe contra os filisteus, na qual Elanã, filho de Jaaré-Oregim de Belém, feriu a Golias geteu, a haste de cuja lança era como um lançador de tear.
And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Depois houve outra guerra em Gate, de onde houve um homem de grande altura, o qual tinha doze dedos nas mãos, e outros doze nos pés, vinte e quatro em todos: e também era dos filhos do gigante.
And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
21 Este desafiou a Israel, e foi morto por Jônatas, filho de Simeia irmão de Davi.
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, killed him.
22 Estes quatro lhe haviam nascido ao gigante em Gate, os quais caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão de seus servos.
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
