2 Samuel 4
1 Quando o filho de Saul soube que Abner estava morto em Hebron, suas mãos ficaram fracas, e todos os israelitas ficaram perturbados.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralyzed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
2 O filho de Saul tinha dois homens que eram capitães de bandas de assalto. O nome de um era Baaná e o nome do outro Rechab, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim (pois Beerote também é considerado parte de Benjamim;
And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
3 e os Beerotitas fugiram para Gittaim, e viveram como estrangeiros até hoje).
And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
4 Agora Jonathan, filho de Saul, tinha um filho que era coxo nos pés. Ele tinha cinco anos quando a notícia sobre Saul e Jonathan saiu de Jezreel; e sua enfermeira o pegou e fugiu. Quando ela se apressou a fugir, ele caiu e ficou coxo. Seu nome era Mephibosheth.
And Jonathan Saul's son [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name [was] Memphibosthe.
5 Os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerothite, Rechab e Baanah, saíram e chegaram por volta do calor do dia à casa de Ishbosheth enquanto ele descansava ao meio-dia.
And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
6 Eles chegaram lá no meio da casa como se tivessem buscado trigo, e o atingiram no corpo; e Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, escaparam.
And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
7 Agora quando entraram na casa enquanto ele estava deitado em sua cama em seu quarto, o atingiram, o mataram, o decapitaram e lhe tiraram a cabeça, e foram pelo caminho do Arabah a noite toda.
And Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they strike him, and kill him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
8 Eles trouxeram a cabeça de Ishbosheth para David em Hebron, e disseram ao rei: “Eis a cabeça de Ishbosheth, o filho de Saul, seu inimigo, que procurava sua vida! Javé vingou hoje meu senhor, o rei de Saul e de sua descendência”.”
And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as [it is] this day: even on Saul your enemy, and on his seed.
9 David respondeu a Rechab e Baanah, seu irmão, os filhos de Rimmon, o Beerotíco, e lhes disse: “Como Javé vive, que redimiu minha alma de toda adversidade,
And David answered and Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, [As] the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
10 quando alguém me disse: 'Eis que Saul está morto', pensando que trazia boas novas, eu o agarrei e o matei em Ziklag, que foi a recompensa que lhe dei por suas notícias.
he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and killed him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, [as he thought], to have given a reward for his tidings.
11 Quanto mais, quando homens perversos mataram uma pessoa justa em sua própria casa, em sua cama, não deveria eu agora exigir seu sangue de sua mão, e livrar a terra de você”?
And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
12 David comandou seus jovens, e eles os mataram, cortaram suas mãos e seus pés, e os penduraram ao lado da piscina em Hebron. Mas eles pegaram a cabeça de Ishbosheth e a enterraram no túmulo de Abner em Hebron.
And David commanded his young men, and they kill them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
