< 2 Samuel 5 >
1 Então todas as tribos de Israel vieram a David em Hebron e falaram, dizendo: “Eis que somos teus ossos e tua carne”.
Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
2 Em tempos passados, quando Saul era rei sobre nós, foi você quem conduziu Israel para fora e para dentro. Javé lhe disse: “Você será pastor do meu povo Israel, e você será príncipe sobre Israel”.
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Então todos os anciãos de Israel vieram ao rei em Hebron, e o rei Davi fez um pacto com eles em Hebron antes de Yavé; e ungiram Davi rei sobre Israel.
So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
4 David tinha trinta anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou quarenta anos.
David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
5 Em Hebron reinou sobre Judá sete anos e seis meses, e em Jerusalém reinou trinta e três anos sobre todo Israel e Judá.
In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
6 O rei e seus homens foram a Jerusalém contra os jebuseus, os habitantes da terra, que falaram com Davi, dizendo: “Os cegos e os coxos te manterão fora daqui”, pensando: “Davi não pode entrar aqui”.
[One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
7 Nevertheless David tomou o bastião de Sião. Esta é a cidade de Davi.
But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
8 David disse naquele dia: “Quem quer que atinja os jebusitas, deixe-o subir ao curso de água e atinja aqueles cegos e coxos, que são odiados pela alma de David”. Portanto, eles dizem: “Os cegos e os coxos não podem entrar na casa”.
On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
9 David viveu na fortaleza, e a chamou de cidade de David. David construiu em torno de Millo e para dentro.
[After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
10 David cresceu cada vez mais, pois Yahweh, o Deus dos Exércitos, estava com ele.
David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
11 Hiram, rei de Tiro, enviou mensageiros a Davi, com cedros, carpinteiros e pedreiros; e eles construíram uma casa para Davi.
[One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
12 David percebeu que Javé o havia estabelecido rei sobre Israel, e que ele havia exaltado seu reino por causa de seu povo Israel.
His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
13 David levou mais concubinas e esposas para fora de Jerusalém, depois de ter vindo de Hebron; e mais filhos e filhas nasceram para David.
After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
14 Estes são os nomes daqueles que nasceram para ele em Jerusalém: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Salomão,
The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 Elishama, Eliada, e Eliphelet.
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Quando os filisteus ouviram que tinham ungido Davi rei sobre Israel, todos os filisteus subiram em busca de Davi, mas Davi ouviu falar disso e desceu para a fortaleza.
When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
18 Agora os filisteus tinham vindo e se espalhado pelo vale de Rephaim.
The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
19 Davi perguntou a Javé, dizendo: “Devo eu ir contra os filisteus? Você vai entregá-los em minhas mãos?” Yahweh disse a David: “Suba; pois certamente entregarei os filisteus em suas mãos”.
David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
20 David veio a Baal Perazim, e David os atingiu lá. Então ele disse: “Yahweh quebrou meus inimigos diante de mim, como a brecha das águas”. Portanto, ele chamou o nome daquele lugar de Baal Perazim.
So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
21 Eles deixaram suas imagens lá, e David e seus homens os levaram embora.
The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
22 Os filisteus surgiram mais uma vez e se espalharam pelo vale do Rephaim.
Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
23 Quando David perguntou sobre Yahweh, ele disse: “Você não deve subir. Dêem a volta por trás deles e os ataquem na frente das amoras.
So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
24 Quando ouvir o som de marcha nas copas das amoras, então se agita; pois então Javé saiu diante de você para atacar o exército dos filisteus”.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
25 David o fez, como lhe ordenou Yahweh, e atingiu os filisteus durante todo o caminho de Geba a Gezer.
So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
