< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 Houve uma fome nos dias de David durante três anos, ano após ano; e David procurou a face de Yahweh. Yahweh disse: “É por Saul, e por sua casa sangrenta, porque ele matou os gibeonitas”.
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for [his] house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites.
2 O rei chamou os gibeonitas e disse-lhes (agora os gibeonitas não eram dos filhos de Israel, mas do remanescente dos amorreus, e os filhos de Israel lhes haviam jurado; e Saul procurou matá-los em seu zelo pelos filhos de Israel e Judá);
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remainder of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
3 e Davi disse aos gibeonitas: “O que devo fazer por vocês? E com o que devo fazer expiação, para que possais abençoar a herança de Javé”?
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 Os gibeonitas lhe disseram: “Não é questão de prata ou ouro entre nós e Saul ou sua casa; tampouco nos cabe a nós colocar qualquer homem à morte em Israel”. Ele disse: “Eu farei por você o que você disser”.
And the Gibeonites said to him, As to Saul and his house, it is with us no question of receiving silver or gold, neither is it for us to have any man put to death in Israel. And he said, What ye say will I do for you.
5 Disseram ao rei: “O homem que nos consumiu e que conspirou contra nós, que devemos ser destruídos de permanecer em qualquer das fronteiras de Israel,
And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in all the borders of Israel,
6 que sete homens de seus filhos nos sejam entregues, e os penduraremos a Javé em Gibeá de Saul, o escolhido de Javé”. O rei disse: “Eu lhes darei”.
let seven men of his sons be given up 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 Mas o rei poupou Mephibosheth, filho de Jonathan, filho de Saul, por causa do juramento de Yahweh que estava entre eles, entre David e Jonathan, 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 o rei levou os dois filhos de Rizpah, a filha de Aiá, que ela deu a Saul, Armoni e Mephibosheth; e os cinco filhos de Merab, a filha de Saul, que ela deu a Adriel, filho de Barzillai, o meholatita.
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of [the sister of] Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
9 Ele os entregou nas mãos dos gibeonitas; e eles os enforcaram na montanha antes de Yahweh, e todos os sete caíram juntos. Eles foram mortos nos dias da colheita, nos primeiros dias, no início da colheita da cevada.
and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before Jehovah. And they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the first days of the harvest, in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Rizpah a filha de Aiah pegou pano de saco e o espalhou para si mesma sobre a rocha, desde o início da colheita até a água derramada sobre eles do céu. Ela não permitiu que as aves do céu descansassem sobre eles de dia, nem que os animais do campo descansassem sobre eles à noite.
Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens, and suffered neither the fowl of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 David foi informado do que Rizpah, a filha de Aiah, a concubina de Saul, havia feito.
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 Então Davi foi e levou os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho dos homens de Jabesh Gilead, que os haviam roubado da rua de Beth Shan, onde os filisteus os haviam enforcado no dia em que os filisteus mataram 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 open place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, the day the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;
13 e ele trouxe de lá os ossos de Saul e os ossos de Jônatas seu filho. Eles também reuniram os ossos daqueles que foram enforcados.
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 Eles enterraram os ossos de Saul e de Jônatas seu filho no país de Benjamim em Zela, no túmulo de Kish, seu pai; e realizaram tudo o que o rei ordenou. Depois disso, Deus respondeu à oração pela terra.
And they buried [them] with the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they did all that the king had commanded. And afterwards God was propitious to the land.
15 Os filisteus voltaram a ter guerra com Israel; e David desceu, e seus servos com ele, e lutou contra os filisteus. Davi desmaiou;
And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. And David was exhausted.
16 e Ishbibenob, que era dos filhos do gigante, cuja lança pesava trezentos siclos de bronze, estando ele armado com uma nova espada, pensou que mataria Davi.
And Ishbibenob, who was of the children of Raphah — the weight of his lance was three hundred shekels of bronze, and he was girded with new [armour] — thought to smite David.
17 Mas Abishai, filho de Zeruiah, o ajudou, atingiu o filisteu e o matou. Então os homens de Davi juraram-lhe, dizendo: “Não saia mais conosco para lutar, para que não apague a lâmpada de Israel”.
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
18 Depois disso, houve novamente uma guerra com os filisteus de Gob. Então Sibbecai, o Hushathite, matou Saph, que era dos filhos do gigante.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines, at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the children of Raphah.
19 Houve novamente guerra com os filisteus em Gob, e Elhanan, o filho de Jaare-Oregim, o belemita, matou Golias, o irmão de Gittita, cujo bastão era como uma lança de tecelão.
And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, smote Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Houve novamente uma guerra em Gate, onde havia um homem de grande estatura, que tinha seis dedos em cada mão e seis dedos dos pés em cada pé, vinte e quatro em número, e ele também nasceu para o gigante.
And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, that had on each hand six fingers, and on each foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to Raphah.
21 Quando ele desafiou Israel, Jonathan, filho de Shimei, irmão de David, o matou.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
22 Estes quatro nasceram para o gigante em Gate; e caíram pela mão de Davi e pela mão de seus servos.
These four were born to Raphah, in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
