2 Samuel 4

NEW JERUSALEM	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 When Saul's son heard that Abner had died at Hebron, his heart failed him, and al Israel was alarmed.	1 Quando o filho de Saul soube da morte de Abner, em Hebron, perdeu o ânimo e todo o Israel ficou consternado.
2 Now, Saul's son had two freebooting chieftains; one was cal ed Baanah, the other Rechab. They werethe sons of Rimmon of Beeroth, and Benjaminites -- for Beeroth is regarded as belonging to Benjamin.	2 Ora, tinha ele a seu serviço dois chefes de bando, um chamado Baana e o outro Recab, ambos filhos de Remon de Berot, benjaminitas. {Porque Berot também fora contada entre os benjaminitas,
3 The people of Beeroth had taken refuge in Gittaim, where they have remained to this day as residentforeigners.	3 embora seus habitantes se tenham refugiado em Getaim, onde residem até hoje.}
4 Jonathan son of Saul had a son with crippled feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul andJonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled but, as she hurried away, he fel and was lamed.His name was Meribbaal.	4 Jônatas, filho de Saul, tinha também um filho paralítico dos dois pés, o qual tinha cinco anos quando chegou de Jezrael a notícia da morte de Saul e de Jônatas. Sua ama fugiu levando-o consigo, mas, na precipitação da fuga, o menino caiu e ficou manco. Chamava-se Mifiboset.
5 The sons of Rimmon of Beeroth, Rechab and Baanah, set out; they came to Ishbaal's house at thehottest part of the day when he was taking his midday rest.	5 Os filhos de Remon de Berot partiram no maior calor do dia e foram à casa de Isboset, que estava dormindo a sesta.
6 The woman who kept the door had been cleaning wheat and had drowsed off to sleep.	6 Penetraram na casa sob o pretexto de buscar trigo e feriram-no no ventre. Recab e seu irmão Baana conseguiram entrar furtivamente
7 Rechab and his brother Baanah stole past her and entered the house, where he was lying on his bed inhis bedroom. They struck him and kil ed him, then cut off his head and, taking the head with them, travel ed alnight by way of the Arabah.	7 e, tendo penetrado na casa, onde Isboset repousava no seu leito, no quarto de dormir, feriram-no de morte e cortaram-lhe a cabeça. Tomaram-na depois consigo e andaram toda a noite pelo caminho da planície.
8 They brought Ishbaal's head to David at Hebron. 'Here', they said to the king, 'is the head of Ishbaalson of Saul, your enemy, who meant to take your life. Yahweh has avenged my lord the king today on Saul andon his offspring.'	8 E levaram a cabeça de Isboset a Davi, em Hebron. Eis aqui, disseram-lhe, a cabeça de Isboset, filho de Saul, teu inimigo que queria matar-te. O Senhor vingou hoje o rei, meu senhor, de Saul e de sua raça.
9 But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon, by saying, 'As Yahwehlives, who has rescued me from every danger,	9 Mas Davi respondeu a Recab e ao seu irmão Baana, filhos de Remon de Berot: Pela vida de Deus, que me salvou de todos os perigos!
10 when someone told me, "Saul is dead!" supposing himself to be bringing me good news, I seized andput him to death at Ziklag, and that was how I rewarded him for his news!	10 O homem que me veio anunciar a morte de Saul, cuidando trazer-me uma boa notícia, tomei-o e matei-o em Siceleg, em recompensa de sua boa mensagem.
11 How much more when bandits have kil ed an upright man in his house, and on his bed! Am I not todemand an account of his blood from you, and rid the earth of you?'	11 Quanto mais agora a homens celerados que mataram um inocente dentro de sua casa, em seu leito, não vos pedirei eu conta de seu sangue, e não vos farei desaparecer da terra?
12 David then gave an order to the men, who put them to death, cut off their hands and feet, and hungthem up beside the pool of Hebron. Ishbaal's head they took and buried in Abner's grave at Hebron.	12 Davi ordenou aos seus homens que os matassem. Cortaram-lhes as mãos e os pés e penduraram-nos junto da piscina de Hebron. A cabeça de Isboset foi recolhida e depositada no túmulo de Abner, em Hebron.
