2 Samuel 3
1 E houve longa guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de Davi; mas Davi se ia fortificando, e a casa de Saul ia diminuindo.
Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: David prospering and growing always stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul decaying daily.
2 E nasceram filhos a Davi em Hebrom: seu primogênito foi Amom, de Ainoã jezreelita;
And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon of Achinoam the Jezrahelitess:
3 Seu segundo Quileabe, de Abigail a mulher de Nabal, o do Carmelo; o terceiro, Absalão, filho de Maaca, filha de Talmai rei de Gesur:
And his second Cheleab of Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel: and the third Absalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmai king of Gessur:
4 O quarto, Adonias filho de Hagite; o quinto, Sefatias filho de Abital;
And the fourth Adonias, the son of Haggith: and the fifth Saphathia the son of Abital:
5 O sexto, Itreão, de Eglá mulher de Davi. Estes nasceram a Davi em Hebrom.
And the sixth Jethraam of Egla the wife of David: these were born to David in Hebron.
6 E quando havia guerra entre a casa de Saul e a de Davi, aconteceu que Abner se esforçava pela casa de Saul.
Now while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner the son of Ner ruled the house of Saul.
7 E havia Saul tido uma concubina que se chamava Rispa, filha de Aiá. E disse Is-Bosete a Abner: Por que te deitaste com a concubina de meu pai?
And Saul had a concubine named Respha, the daughter of Aia. And Isboseth said to Abner:
8 E irou-se Abner em grande maneira pelas palavras de Is-Bosete, e disse: Sou eu uma cabeça de cão pertencente a Judá? Eu fiz hoje misericórdia com a casa de Saul teu pai, com seus irmãos, e com seus amigos, e não te entreguei nas mãos de Davi; e tu me acusas de ter pecado acerca desta mulher?
Why didst thou go in to my father’s concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog’s head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman?
9 Assim faça Deus a Abner e assim lhe acrescente, se como o SENHOR jurou a Davi eu não fizer assim com ele,
So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him,
10 Transferindo o reino da casa de Saul, e confirmando o trono de Davi sobre Israel e sobre Judá, desde Dã até Berseba.
That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
11 E ele não pode responder palavra a Abner, porque lhe temia.
And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him.
12 E enviou Abner mensageiros a Davi de sua parte, dizendo: De quem é a terra? E que lhe dissessem: Faze aliança comigo, e eis que minha mão será contigo para virar a ti a todo Israel.
Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee.
13 E Davi disse: Bem; eu farei contigo aliança: mas uma coisa te peço, e é, que não me venhas a ver sem que primeiro tragas a Mical a filha de Saul, quando vieres a ver-me.
And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me.
14 Depois disto enviou Davi mensageiros a Is-Bosete filho de Saul, dizendo: Restitui-me a minha mulher Mical, a qual eu desposei comigo por cem prepúcios de filisteus.
And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 Então Is-Bosete enviou, e tirou-a de seu marido Paltiel, filho de Laís.
And Isboseth sent, and took her from her husband Phaltiel, the son of Lais.
16 E seu marido foi com ela, seguindo-a e chorando até Baurim. E disse-lhe Abner: Anda, volta-te. Então ele se voltou.
And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned.
17 E falou Abner com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Ontem e antes procuráveis que Davi fosse rei sobre vós;
Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you.
18 Agora, pois, fazei-o; porque o SENHOR falou a Davi, dizendo: Pela mão de meu servo Davi livrarei a meu povo Israel da mão dos filisteus, e da mão de todos os seus inimigos.
Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies.
19 E falou também Abner aos de Benjamim: e foi também Abner a Hebrom a dizer a Davi todo aquele parecer dos de Israel e de toda a casa de Benjamim.
And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin.
20 Veio, pois, Abner a Davi em Hebrom, e com ele vinte homens: e Davi fez banquete a Abner e aos que com ele haviam vindo.
And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him.
21 E disse Abner a Davi: Eu me levantarei e irei, e juntarei a meu senhor o rei a todo Israel, para que façam contigo aliança, e tu reines como desejas. Davi despediu logo a Abner, e ele se foi em paz.
And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David bad brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace,
22 E eis que os servos de Davi e Joabe, que vinham do acampamento, e traziam consigo grande presa. Mas Abner não estava com Davi em Hebrom, que já o havia ele despedido, e ele se havia ido em paz.
Immediately David’s servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty: and Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
23 E logo que chegou Joabe e todo aquele exército que com ele estava, foi dado aviso a Joabe, dizendo: Abner filho de Ner veio ao rei, e ele lhe despediu, e se foi em paz.
And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
24 Então Joabe veio ao rei, e disse-lhe: Que fizeste? Eis que Abner veio a ti; por que pois o deixaste que se fosse?
And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed?
25 Sabes tu que Abner filho de Ner veio para enganar-te, e para saber tua saída e tua entrada, e por entender tudo o que tu fazes?
Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost?
26 E saindo Joabe da presença de Davi, enviou mensageiros atrás de Abner, os quais o fizeram voltar desde o poço de Sirá, sem que Davi soubesse.
Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it.
27 E quando Abner voltou a Hebrom, apartou-o Joabe ao meio da porta, falando com ele brandamente, e ali lhe feriu pela quinta costela, por causa da morte de Asael seu irmão, e morreu.
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother.
28 Quando Davi soube depois isto, disse: Limpo estou eu e meu reino, pelo SENHOR, para sempre, do sangue de Abner filho de Ner.
And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
29 Caia sobre a cabeça de Joabe, e sobre toda a casa de seu pai; que nunca falte da casa de Joabe quem padeça fluxo, nem leproso, nem quem ande com cajado, nem quem morra à espada, nem quem tenha falta de pão.
And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father’s house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread.
30 Então Joabe e Abisai seu irmão mataram a Abner, porque ele havia matado a Asael, irmão deles na batalha de Gibeão.
So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle.
31 Então disse Davi a Joabe, e a todo aquele povo que com ele estava: Rompei vossas roupas, e cingi-vos de sacos, e fazei luto por causa de Abner. E o rei ia detrás do féretro.
And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
32 E sepultaram a Abner em Hebrom: e levantando o rei sua voz, chorou junto ao sepulcro de Abner; e chorou também todo aquele povo.
And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept.
33 E lamentando o rei pelo mesmo Abner, dizia: Morreu Abner como morre um tolo?
And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died.
34 Tuas mãos não estavam atadas, nem teus pés ligados com grilhões; caíste como os que caem diante de homens maus. E todo aquele povo voltou a chorar por causa dele.
Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him.
35 E quando todo aquele povo veio a dar de comer pão a Davi sendo ainda de dia, Davi jurou, dizendo: Assim me faça Deus e assim me acrescente, se antes que se ponha o sol provar eu pão, ou outra qualquer coisa.
And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset.
36 Soube-o assim todo aquele povo, e pareceu bem em seus olhos; porque tudo o que o rei fazia parecia bem em olhos de todo aquele povo.
And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people.
37 E todo aquele povo e todo Israel entenderam aquele dia, que não havia vindo do rei que Abner filho de Ner morresse.
And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king’s doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain.
38 E o rei disse a seus servos: Não sabeis que caiu hoje em Israel um príncipe, e grande?
The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and great man is slain this day in Israel?
39 Que eu agora ainda sou tenro rei ungido; e estes homens, os filhos de Zeruia, muito duros me são; o SENHOR retribua ao que faz o mal conforme sua malícia.
But I as yet am tender, though anointed king. And these men the sons of Sarvia are too hard for me: the Lord reward him that doth evil according to his wickedness.
