2 Samuel 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.	1 Depois da morte de Saul, Davi voltou da derrota dos amalecitas, e esteve dois dias em Siceleg.
2 Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.	2 Ao terceiro dia, apareceu um homem que vinha do acampamento de Saul; trazia as vestes rasgadas e a cabeça coberta de pó. Chegando perto de Davi, jogou-se por terra, prostrando-se.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”	3 Davi disse-lhe: De onde vens? Salvei-me do acampamento de Israel, respondeu ele.
4 And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”	4 Que aconteceu?, perguntou Davi. Conta-mo! Ele respondeu: As tropas fugiram do campo de batalha, e muitos homens do exército tombaram. Saul também, e seu filho Jônatas, pereceram!
5 And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”	5 Como sabes, perguntou Davi ao mensageiro, que Saul e seu filho Jônatas morreram?
6 And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.	6 O mensageiro respondeu: Achava-me no monte de Gelboé, quando vi Saul atirar-se sobre a própria lança, enquanto era perseguido pelos carros e cavaleiros.
7 And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”	7 Ora, voltando-se, viu-me e chamou-me. Eu disse: Eis-me aqui.
8 he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”	8 Quem és tu?, disse ele. Eu sou um amalecita, respondi.
9 And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”	9 Aproxima-te, continuou ele, e mata-me, porque estou tomado de vertigem, se bem que ainda esteja cheio de vida.
10 And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”	10 Aproximei-me, pois, e matei-o, pois via que ele não poderia sobreviver depois da derrota. Tomei o diadema que tinha na cabeça e o bracelete do braço e os trouxe ao meu senhor; ei-los.
11 Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.	11 Então tomou Davi as suas vestes e rasgou-as, imitando-o nesse gesto todos os que estavam com ele.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.	12 Estiveram em pranto, choraram e jejuaram até a tarde por causa de Saul, de seu filho Jônatas, do exército do Senhor e da casa de Israel, que haviam caído sob a espada.
13 And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”	13 Davi perguntou ao mensageiro: De onde és? Eu sou filho de um estrangeiro, respondeu ele, de um amalecita.
14 And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”	14 Davi disse-lhe: Como não receaste levantar a mão contra o ungido do Senhor para matá-lo?
15 And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.	15 E, chamando um dos seus homens, Davi disse-lhe: Vem, mata-o! O homem o feriu, e ele morreu.
16 And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’ ”	16 Davi disse-lhe então: Tu és culpado. Tua própria boca deu testemunho contra ti, quando disseste: matei o ungido do Senhor.
17 Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.	17 Compôs então Davi o seguinte cântico fúnebre sobre Saul e seu filho Jônatas,
18 (And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:	18 ordenando que fosse ensinado aos filhos de Judá. É o canto do Arco, que está escrito no Livro do Justo:
19 The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?	19 Tua flor, Israel, pereceu nas alturas! Como tombaram os heróis?
20 Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.	20 Não anuncieis em Get nem o publiqueis nas ruas de Ascalon, para que não exultem as filhas dos filisteus, para que não se regozijem as filhas dos incircuncisos.
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.	21 Montanhas de Gelboé, não haja sobre vós nem orvalho nem chuva! Campos assassinos, onde foi maculado o escudo dos heróis! O escudo de Saul estava ungido não com óleo,
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.	22 mas, com o sangue de feridos, com a gordura de guerreiros, o arco de Jônatas jamais recuou, a espada de Saul jamais brandiu em vão!
23 Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.	23 Saul e Jônatas, amáveis e encantadores, nunca se separaram, nem na vida nem na morte, mais velozes do que as águias, mais fortes do que os leões!
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.	24 Filhas de Israel, chorai por Saul, que vos vestia de púrpura suntuosa, e ornava de ouro vossos vestidos.
25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?	25 Como caíram os heróis? Em pleno combate Jônatas tombou sobre as tuas colinas.
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.	26 Jônatas, meu irmão, por tua causa meu coração me comprime! Tu me eras tão querido! Tua amizade me era mais preciosa que o amor das mulheres.
27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”	27 Como caíram os heróis? Como pereceram os artilheiros de guerra?
