2 Samuel 2
1 Depois disso, David perguntou a Yahweh, dizendo: “Devo subir em alguma das cidades de Judá? Yahweh disse a ele: “Suba”. David disse: “Onde devo subir?”. Ele disse: “Para Hebron”.
And it came to pass after this that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? and the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? and he said, To Chebron.
2 Então David foi para lá com suas duas esposas, Ahinoam, a Jezreelitess, e Abigail, a esposa de Nabal, a Carmelita.
And David went up there to Chebron, [he] and both his wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
3 David educou seus homens que estavam com ele, cada homem com sua casa. Eles viviam nas cidades de Hebron.
and the men that were with him, every one and his family; and they lived in the cities of Chebron.
4 Os homens de Judá vieram, e ali ungiram Davi rei sobre a casa de Judá. Eles disseram a Davi: “Os homens de Jabesh Gilead foram os que enterraram Saul”.
And the men of Judea come, and anoint David there to reign over the house of Juda; and they reported to David, saying, The men of Jabis of the country of Galaad have buried Saul.
5 David enviou mensageiros aos homens de Jabesh Gilead, e disse-lhes: “Abençoados sois vós por Javé, que mostrastes esta bondade a vosso senhor, até mesmo a Saul, e o sepultastes”.
And David sent messengers to the rulers of Jabis of the country of Galaad, and David said to them, Blessed be you of the Lord, because you have wrought this mercy toward your lord, even toward Saul the anointed of the Lord, and you have buried him and Jonathan his son.
6 Agora que Yahweh possa mostrar a você bondade e a verdade amorosa. Eu também te recompensarei por esta gentileza, porque fizeste isto.
And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth towards you: and I also will requite towards you this good deed, because you have done this.
7 Agora, pois, que vossas mãos sejam fortes e valentes; pois Saul, vosso senhor, está morto, e também a casa de Judá me ungiram rei sobre eles”.
And now let your hands be made strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the house of Juda have anointed me to be king over them.
8 Now Abner, filho de Ner, capitão do exército de Saul, havia levado Ishbosheth, o filho de Saul, e o trouxe para Mahanaim.
But Abenner, the son of Ner, the commander-in-chief of Saul's army, took Jebosthe son of Saul, and brought him up from the camp to Manaem
9 Ele o fez rei sobre Gileade, sobre os ashuritas, sobre Jezreel, sobre Efraim, sobre Benjamim, e sobre todo Israel.
and made him king over the land of Galaad, and over Thasiri, and over Jezrael, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Ishbosheth, filho de Saul, tinha quarenta anos de idade quando começou a reinar sobre Israel, e reinou dois anos. Mas a casa de Judá seguiu Davi.
Jebosthe, Saul's son [was] forty years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Juda, who followed David.
11 O tempo em que Davi foi rei em Hebron sobre a casa de Judá foi de sete anos e seis meses.
And the days which David reigned in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months.
12 Abner, filho de Ner, e os criados de Ishbosheth, filho de Saul, saíram de Mahanaim para Gibeon.
And Abenner the son of Ner went forth, and the servants of Jebosthe the son of Saul, from Manaem to Gabaon.
13 Joab, filho de Zeruia, e os servos de Davi saíram ao encontro deles na piscina de Gibeon; e eles se sentaram, um de um lado da piscina e o outro do outro lado da piscina.
And Joab the son of Saruia, and the servants of David, went forth from Chebron, and met them at the fountain of Gabaon, at the same place: and these sat down by the fountain on this side, and those by the fountain on that side.
14 Abner disse a Joab: “Por favor, deixe os jovens se levantarem e competirem diante de nós”. Joab disse: “Que se levantem!”
And Abenner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Então eles se levantaram e passaram por cima por número: doze para Benjamim e para Ishbosheth, o filho de Saul, e doze dos servos de Davi.
And there arose and passed over by number twelve of the children of Benjamin, belonging to Jebosthe the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 Cada um deles pegou seu adversário pela cabeça e empurrou sua espada para o lado de seu companheiro; assim, caíram juntos. Portanto, aquele lugar em Gibeon foi chamado Helkath Hazzurim.
And they seized every one the head of his neighbor with his hand, and his sword [was thrust] into the side of his neighbor, and they fall down together: and the name of that place was called The portion of the treacherous ones, which is in Gabaon.
17 A batalha foi muito severa naquele dia; e Abner foi espancado, e os homens de Israel, diante dos servos de Davi.
And the battle was very severe on that day; and Abenner and the men of Israel were worsted before the servants of David.
18 Os três filhos de Zeruia estavam lá: Joab, Abishai, e Asahel. Asahel era tão leve de pé como uma gazela selvagem.
And there were there the three sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his feet as a roe in the field.
19 Asahel perseguiu Abner. Ele não virou para a mão direita nem para a esquerda por seguir Abner.
And Asael followed after Abenner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abenner.
20 Então Abner olhou atrás dele e disse: “É você, Asahel?” Ele respondeu: “E é”.
And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asael himself? and he said, I am.
21 Abner disse-lhe: “Vire-se para sua mão direita ou para sua esquerda e pegue um dos jovens, e pegue sua armadura”. Mas Asahel não se afastaria de segui-lo.
And Abenner said to him, Turn you to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for yourself on one of the young men, and take to yourself his armor: but Asel would not turn back from following him.
22 Abner disse novamente a Asahel: “Vire-se para longe de me seguir. Por que eu deveria golpeá-lo até o chão? Como então eu poderia olhar Joab seu irmão na cara”?
And Abenner said yet again to Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I strike you to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?
23 However, ele se recusou a se virar. Por isso Abner com a ponta traseira da lança o atingiu no corpo, de modo que a lança saiu atrás dele; e ele caiu lá embaixo e morreu no mesmo lugar. Todos os que chegaram ao lugar onde Asahel caiu e morreu ficaram parados.
And what does this mean? return to Joab your brother? But he would not stand aloof; and Abenner smites him with the hinder end of the spear on the loins, and the spear went out behind him, and he falls there and dies on the spot: and it came to pass that every one that came to the place where Asael fell and died, stood still.
24 Mas Joab e Abishai perseguiram a Abner. O sol se pôs quando chegaram à colina de Ammah, que está diante de Giah pelo caminho do deserto de Gibeon.
And Joab and Abessa pursued after Abenner, and the sun went down: and they went as far as the hill of Amman, which is in the front of Gai, by the desert way of Gabaon.
25 As crianças de Benjamin se reuniram depois de Abner e se tornaram uma banda, e ficaram no topo de uma colina.
And the children of Benjamin who followed Abenner gather themselves together, and they formed themselves into one body, and stood on the top of a hill.
26 Então Abner chamou Joab, e disse: “Devorará a espada para sempre? Você não sabe que será amargura no último final? Quanto tempo vai demorar então, até que você peça ao povo que volte de seguir seus irmãos”?
And Abenner called Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? know you not that it will be bitter at last? How long then will you refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren?
27 Joab disse: “Como Deus vive, se você não tivesse falado, certamente pela manhã o povo teria ido embora, e não cada um seguia seu irmão”.
And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if you had not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Então Joab tocou a trombeta; e todo o povo parou e não perseguiu mais Israel, e não lutou mais.
And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer.
29 Abner e seus homens passaram toda aquela noite pelo Arabah; e eles passaram pelo Jordão, e passaram por todo Bithron, e chegaram a Mahanaim.
And Abenner and his men departed at evening, [and went] all that night, and crossed over Jordan, and went along the whole adjacent [country], and they come to the camp.
30 Joab voltou de seguir Abner; e quando reuniu todo o povo, dezenove homens de David e Asahel estavam desaparecidos.
And Joab returned from following Abenner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asael.
31 Mas os servos de David haviam atingido os homens de Benjamin Abner, de modo que trezentos e sessenta homens morreram.
And the servants of David struck of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abenner, three hundred and sixty men belonging to him.
32 Eles pegaram Asahel e o enterraram no túmulo de seu pai, que estava em Belém. Joab e seus homens foram a noite toda, e o dia quebrou sobre eles em Hebron.
And they take up Asael, and bury him in the tomb of his father in Bethleem. And Joab and the men with him went all the night, and the morning rose upon them in Chebron.
