II Livro de Samuel 5

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Todas as tribos de Israel vieram ter com Davi em Hebron e disseram,-lhe: Vê: não somos nós teus ossos e tua carne?	1 And all the tribes of Israel went to David in Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Já antes, quando Saul era nosso rei, eras tu que dirigias os negócios de Israel. O Senhor te disse: és tu que apascentarás o meu povo e serás o chefe de Israel.	2 Moreover, yesterday and the day before, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading out and leading back Israel. Then the Lord said to you, ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over Israel.’ ”
3 Vieram, pois, todos os anciãos de Israel ter com o rei em Hebron. Davi fez com eles um tratado diante do Senhor e eles sagraram-no rei de Israel.	3 Also, the elders of Israel went to the king at Hebron, and king David struck a pact with them at Hebron in the sight of the Lord. And they anointed David as king over Israel.
4 Davi tinha trinta anos quando começou a reinar, e seu reinado durou quarenta anos:	4 David was a son of thirty years, when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for forty years.
5 sete anos e meio sobre Judá, em Hebron, e depois trinta e três anos em Jerusalém, sobre todo o Israel e Judá.	5 In Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months. Then in Jerusalem, he reigned for thirty-three years over all of Israel and Judah.
6 Davi partiu com seus homens para Jerusalém, contra os jebuseus que ocupavam a terra. Estes disseram a Davi: Tu não entrarás aqui: cegos e coxos te repelirão! {O que queria dizer: Davi não entrará jamais aqui.}	6 And the king, and all the men who were with him, went away to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. And it was said to David by them, “You shall not enter here, unless you will take away the blind and the lame, who say, ‘David shall not enter here.’ ”
7 Mas Davi apoderou-se da fortaleza de Sião, que é a cidade de Davi.	7 But David seized the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
8 Davi dissera naquele dia: Quem quiser abater os jebuseus, siga o canal para atingir esses cegos e coxos, inimigos de Davi. De onde o ditado: Nem cego nem coxo entrarão na casa.	8 For David had proposed, on that day, a reward to him who had struck the Jebusites and who had reached to the gutters of the rooftops, and who had taken away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David. Therefore, it is said in the proverb, “The blind and the lame shall not enter into the temple.”
9 Davi estabeleceu-se na fortaleza e chamou-a Cidade de Davi. Cercou-a de muralhas desde Milo, e construiu no interior.	9 Then David lived in the stronghold, and he called it: the City of David. And he built it up on all sides, from Millo and inward.
10 Davi ia-se fortificando, e o Senhor, Deus dos exércitos, estava com ele.	10 And he advanced, prospering and increasing, and the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.
11 O rei de Tiro, Hirão, mandou-lhe mensageiros, com madeira de cedro, carpinteiros e pedreiros, para construir-lhe um palácio.	11 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, with cedar wood, and with builders of wood and builders of stone, in order to make walls. And they built a house for David.
12 Davi reconheceu que o Senhor firmava o seu trono em Israel e exaltava a sua realeza por causa de seu povo.	12 And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.
13 Davi tomou mais concubinas e mulheres em Jerusalém, depois que deixou Hebron, e teve delas filhos e filhas.	13 Then David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had arrived from Hebron. And other sons as well as daughters were born to David.
14 Eis os nomes dos filhos que teve em Jerusalém:	14 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Samua, Sobab, Natã, Salomão, Jebaar, Elisua, Nefeg,	15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg,
16 Jafia, Elisama, Elioda e Elifalet.	16 and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Elipheleth.
17 Quando os filisteus souberam que Davi fora ungido rei de Israel, puseram-se todos em campanha para apoderar-se dele. Informado disto, Davi desceu à fortaleza.	17 Then the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel. And they all ascended, so that they might seek David. And when David had heard of it, he descended to a stronghold.
18 Os filisteus, desde que chegaram, espalharam-se pelo vale dos Gigantes.	18 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19 Davi consultou o Senhor, dizendo: Devo subir ao encontro dos filisteus? Entregá-los-eis nas minhas mãos? Vai, respondeu o Senhor, eu os entregarei certamente nas tuas mãos.	19 And David consulted the Lord, saying: “Shall I ascend to the Philistines? And will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David: “Ascend. For I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
20 Veio Davi a Baal-Farasim, onde os derrotou. O Senhor, disse ele, rompeu os meus inimigos diante de mim, como as águas rompem os diques. Por isso chamou àquele lugar Baal-Farasim.	20 Therefore, David went to Baal-perazim. And he struck them there. And he said, “The Lord has divided my enemies before me, just as the waters are divided.” Because of this, the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
21 Os filisteus abandonaram ali seus ídolos; Davi e seus homens os levaram.	21 And in that place they left behind their graven images, which David and his men took away.
22 Os filisteus voltaram ao ataque, espalhando-se pelo vale dos Gigantes.	22 And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
23 Davi consultou o Senhor, que lhe respondeu: Não vás ao seu encontro, mas dá a volta por detrás deles e os atingirás do lado das amoreiras.	23 Then David consulted the Lord, “Shall I ascend against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hands?” And he responded: “You shall not ascend against them; instead, circle behind their back. And you shall come to them from the side opposite the balsam trees.
24 Quando ouvires um rumor de passos, então apressa-te e ataca, porque o Senhor irá adiante de ti para esmagar o exército dos filisteus.	24 And when you hear the sound of something going forth from the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall begin the battle. For then the Lord will go forth, before your face, so that he may strike the army of the Philistines.”
25 Davi fez como lhe ordenara o Senhor, e feriu os filisteus desde Gabaa até Gezer.	25 And so, David did just as the Lord had instructed him. And he struck down the Philistines, from Gibeon until you arrive at Gezer.
