KING JAMES BIBLESAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.1 Depois disso, Naas, rei dos amonitas, faleceu, e seu filho lhe sucedeu.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.2 Davi disse: Eu mostrarei afeto benigno a Hanon, filho de Naas, porque seu pai o mostrou para comigo. E Davi enviou-lhe, por meio de mensageiros, suas condolências por causa da morte de seu pai. Mas quando os servos de Davi chegaram à terra dos amonitas, junto de Hanon, para o consolarem,
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?3 os chefes dos amonitas disseram: Pensas que é para honrar teu pai que Davi te enviou consoladores? Não é antes para reconhecer e explorar a terra, e preparar-lhe a ruína, que seus servos vieram à tua casa?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.4 Hanon, então, prendeu os servos de Davi, raspou-os, e lhes cortou as vestes à meia altura, até o alto das coxas; em seguida, despediu-os.
5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.5 Quando Davi foi informado do que tinha acontecido a esses homens, enviou-lhes homens ao encontro, pois estavam sumamente confundidos. O rei mandava-lhes dizer: Ficai em Jericó, esperando que vossa barba cresça, em seguida voltai.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.6 Viram os amonitas que se tinham tornado odiosos a Davi. Então Hanon e os filhos de Amon enviaram mil talentos de prata para assalariar carros e cavaleiros entre os sírios da Mesopotâmia, de Maaca e de Soba.
7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.7 Assalariaram trinta e dois mil carros e o rei de Maaca com seu exército, o qual veio acampar perto de Medaba, enquanto os amonitas, deixando suas cidades, se reuniam e iam para a guerra.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.8 Davi o soube, e mandou contra eles Joab com todo o exército de homens valentes.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.9 Os amonitas saíram e formaram-se em linha de batalha à porta da cidade. Os reis que tinham vindo mantinham-se à parte, no campo.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.10 Vendo Joab que o ataque contra ele tinha sido disposto pela frente e pela retaguarda, escolheu dentre o escol de Israel um batalhão, e o colocou em linha de batalha diante dos sírios;
11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.11 colocou sob o comando de seu irmão Abisai o resto do povo para fazer frente aos amonitas.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.12 E disse: Se os sírios forem mais fortes que eu, virás em meu socorro; se os amonitas forem mais fortes que tu, eu te socorrerei.
13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.13 Sê forte; combate valentemente pelo nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus, e faça o Senhor o que lhe parecer bom!
14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.14 Joab, pois, avançou com o exército que o acompanhava, ao encontro dos sírios, para travar o combate, e estes fugiram diante dele.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.15 Quando os amonitas viram que os sírios se punham em fuga, fugiram eles próprios diante de Abisai, irmão de Joab, e tornaram a entrar na cidade. E Joab entrou em Jerusalém.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.16 Vendo-se derrotados por Israel, os sírios enviaram mensageiros para fazer vir os sírios que estavam do outro lado do rio: Sofac, comandante do exército de Adarezer, estava à frente deles.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.17 Davi, informado disso, reuniu todo o Israel, atravessou o Jordão, dirigiu-se a eles e preparou-se para atacá-los, colocando o seu exército em linha de batalha contra os sírios.
18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.18 Estes começaram o combate contra ele, mas fugiram diante de Israel, e Davi matou os cavalos de seus sete mil carros e quarenta mil soldados de infantaria, e matou também Sofac, comandante do exército.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.19 Os súditos de Adarezer, vendo-se vencidos por Israel, fizeram paz com Davi e sujeitaram-se a ele. E os sírios não mais quiseram prestar auxílio aos amonitas.
