II Livro de Samuel 1

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Depois da morte de Saul, Davi voltou da derrota dos amalecitas, e esteve dois dias em Siceleg.	1 Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.
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.	2 And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.
3 Davi disse-lhe: De onde vens? Salvei-me do acampamento de Israel, respondeu ele.	3 And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.
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!	4 And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
5 Como sabes, perguntou Davi ao mensageiro, que Saul e seu filho Jônatas morreram?	5 And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?
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.	6 And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,
7 Ora, voltando-se, viu-me e chamou-me. Eu disse: Eis-me aqui.	7 And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 Quem és tu?, disse ele. Eu sou um amalecita, respondi.	8 And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite.
9 Aproxima-te, continuou ele, e mata-me, porque estou tomado de vertigem, se bem que ainda esteja cheio de vida.	9 And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me.
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.	10 So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm and have brought them hither to thee, my lord.
11 Então tomou Davi as suas vestes e rasgou-as, imitando-o nesse gesto todos os que estavam com ele.	11 Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.
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.	12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.
13 Davi perguntou ao mensageiro: De onde és? Eu sou filho de um estrangeiro, respondeu ele, de um amalecita.	13 And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalee.
14 Davi disse-lhe: Como não receaste levantar a mão contra o ungido do Senhor para matá-lo?	14 David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord's anointed?
15 E, chamando um dos seus homens, Davi disse-lhe: Vem, mata-o! O homem o feriu, e ele morreu.	15 And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.
16 Davi disse-lhe então: Tu és culpado. Tua própria boca deu testemunho contra ti, quando disseste: matei o ungido do Senhor.	16 And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord's anointed.
17 Compôs então Davi o seguinte cântico fúnebre sobre Saul e seu filho Jônatas,	17 And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son.
18 ordenando que fosse ensinado aos filhos de Judá. É o canto do Arco, que está escrito no Livro do Justo:	18 (Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places.
19 Tua flor, Israel, pereceu nas alturas! Como tombaram os heróis?	19 The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are the valiant fallen?
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.	20 Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph,
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,	21 Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil.
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!	22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the valiant, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
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!	23 Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 Filhas de Israel, chorai por Saul, que vos vestia de púrpura suntuosa, e ornava de ouro vossos vestidos.	24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire.
25 Como caíram os heróis? Em pleno combate Jônatas tombou sobre as tuas colinas.	25 How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high places?
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.	26 I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and amiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee.
27 Como caíram os heróis? Como pereceram os artilheiros de guerra?	27 How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished?
