2 Samuel 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now after these things, it happened that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned after him.	1 Aconteceu que, morrendo o rei dos amonitas, seu filho Hanon sucedeu-lhe no trono.
2 And David said, “I will show mercy to Hanun, the son of Nahash, just as his father showed mercy to me.” Therefore, David sent consolation to him, by his servants, over the passing of his father. But when the servants of David had arrived in the land of the sons of Ammon,	2 Vou pôr-me em boas relações com Hanon, filho de Naas, pensou Davi, assim como seu pai fez comigo. Enviou-lhe, pois, mensageiros que lhe exprimissem suas condolências pela morte de seu pai. Quando os servos de Davi chegaram à terra dos amonitas,
3 the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, their lord: “Do you think it was because of the honor of your father that David sent consolers to you? And did not David send his servants to you, so that he might investigate and explore the city, and so that he might overthrow it?”	3 os chefes dos amonitas disseram ao seu senhor Hanon: Julgas que Davi pretende honrar teu pai, mandando-te consoladores? Não seria antes para examinar, espionar e destruir a cidade, que ele mandou os seus servos?
4 And so, Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off one half part of their beards, and he cut their garments at the middle, as far as the buttocks, and he sent them away.	4 Então Hanon prendeu os servos de Davi, rapou-lhes metade da barba, cortou-lhes as vestes bem curtas e despediu-os.
5 And when this had been reported to David, he sent to meet them. And the men were greatly disturbed by shame. And David commanded them, “Remain in Jericho, until your beards grow, and then return.”	5 Davi, tendo conhecimento disso, mandou mensageiros ao seu encontro - pois estavam profundamente humilhados - para dizer-lhes: Ficai em Jericó até que vossa barba tenha de novo crescido, e então voltareis.
6 Now the sons of Ammon, seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent for, and paid wages to, the Syrians of Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and from the king of Maacah, one thousand men, and from Tob, twelve thousand men.	6 Vendo os amonitas que se haviam tornado odiosos a Davi, mandaram delegados para tomarem ao seu soldo os arameus de Bet-Roob e os de Soba, ou seja, vinte mil soldados de infantaria, e o rei de Maaca, com mil homens, e os de Tob, com doze mil.
7 And when David had heard this, he sent Joab and the entire army of warriors.	7 A esta notícia, Davi levantou todo o exército com Joab e os mais valentes.
8 Then the sons of Ammon went forth, and they positioned their battle line before the very entrance of the gates. But the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and of Tob, and of Maacah, were by themselves in the field.	8 Os amonitas puseram-se em linha de combate à entrada da porta, ao passo que os arameus de Soba e de Roob ficaram no campo com os homens de Tob e de Maaca.
9 And so, seeing that the battle had been prepared against him, both facing him and behind, Joab chose some from all of the elect men of Israel, and he set up a battle line opposite the Syrians.	9 Joab, vendo que estava preparada a batalha contra ele, tanto pela frente como por detrás, escolheu os melhores de Israel e formou-os em linha de batalha contra os arameus.
10 But the remaining part of the people he delivered to his brother Abishai, who formed a battle line against the sons of Ammon.	10 Confiou o resto do exército ao seu irmão Abisaí, que o pôs em linha de combate contra os amonitas.
11 And Joab said: “If the Syrians prevail against me, then you shall assist me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail against you, then I will assist you.	11 Disse-lhe: Se os arameus prevalecerem contra mim, tu virás em meu socorro; e se os amonitas prevalecerem contra ti, eu irei em teu auxílio.
12 Be valiant men. And let us fight on behalf of our people and the city of our God. Then the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”	12 Coragem! Lutemos com valor por nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus. O Senhor faça o que lhe parecer melhor!
13 And so, Joab, and the people who were with him, undertook the conflict against the Syrians, who immediately fled before their face.	13 Joab avançou com sua tropa contra os arameus, que fugiram diante dele.
14 Then, seeing that the Syrians had fled, the sons of Ammon themselves also fled from the face of Abishai, and they entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and he went to Jerusalem.	14 Vendo os arameus em fuga, recuaram também os amonitas diante de Abisaí e voltaram para a cidade. Joab deixou os amonitas e foi para Jerusalém.
15 And so, the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.	15 Os arameus, vendo-se batidos pelos israelitas, reuniram-se em massa.
16 And Hadadezer sent and brought the Syrians who were beyond the river, and he led in their army. And Shobach, the rule of the military of Hadadezer, was their leader.	16 Hadadezer enviou então um delegado para mobilizar os arameus de além do rio, e estes vieram para Helão, tendo à sua frente Sobac, general de Hadadezer.
17 And when this had been reported to David, he drew together all of Israel. And he crossed over the Jordan, and he went to Helam. And the Syrians formed a battle line opposite David, and they fought against him.	17 Davi, informado disso, reuniu todo o Israel, passou o Jordão e foi contra o Helão. Houve uma dura batalha entre os arameus e Davi,
18 And the Syrians fled before the face of Israel. And David killed, among the Syrians, the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen. And he struck down Shobach, the leader of the military, who immediately died.	18 mas os arameus fugiram diante de Israel; Davi matou-lhes setecentos cavalos de carros e quarenta mil homens. Feriu também o seu general Sobac, que morreu naquele mesmo lugar.
19 Then all the kings who were in the reinforcements of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be defeated by Israel, were very afraid and they fled: fifty-eight thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel, and they served them. And the Syrians were afraid to offer assistance to the sons of Ammon anymore.	19 Todos os reis que eram vassalos de Hadadezer, vendo-se vencidos pelos israelitas, fizeram paz com eles e tornaram-se seus tributários. Daí por diante os arameus não ousaram mais dar socorro aos amonitas.
