II Livro de Samuel 8

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Depois disso, Davi bateu os filisteus e os submeteu, tirando-lhes as rédeas do governo.	1 And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Depois bateu os moabitas e mediu-os com uma corda, fazendo-os deitar-se por terra: duas medidas de corda para a morte, e uma medida plena de corda para a vida. Os moabitas tornaram-se súditos de Davi e pagaram-lhe tributo.	2 And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
3 Davi derrotou em seguida Hadadezer, filho de Roob, rei de Soba, quando este foi restabelecer o seu exército junto do rio.	3 David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.
4 Davi tomou-lhe mil e setecentos cavaleiros e vinte mil soldados de infantaria e cortou os jarretes de todos os cavalos de carros, dos quais somente reservou cem.	4 And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and only reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
5 Os arameus de Damasco, tendo vindo em socorro de Hadadezer, foram feridos por Davi, que abateu vinte e dois mil deles.	5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Feito isso, estabeleceu guarnições em Arão de Damasco, e os arameus tornaram-se súditos de Davi, pagando-lhe tributo. Desse modo, o Senhor fazia que Davi triunfasse em toda parte por onde ia.	6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.
7 Tomou Davi os escudos de ouro que pertenciam aos soldados de Hadadezer e levou-os para Jerusalém.	7 And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 De Bete e de Berot, cidades de Hadadezer, levou ainda bronze em grande quantidade.	8 And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.
9 Ouvindo Toú, rei de Hamat, que Davi tinha desbaratado o exército de Hadadezer,	9 And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.
10 mandou seu filho Adorão ao rei Davi para saudá-lo e felicitá-lo por ter combatido e vencido Hadadezer, pois este era inimigo de Toú. Adorão levou a Davi muitos presentes em prata, ouro e bronze,	10 And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:
11 que o rei consagrou ao Senhor, juntamente com a prata e o ouro de todos os povos que subjugara:	11 And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:
12 Edom, Moab, os amonitas, os filisteus, Amalec, e ainda o espólio de Hadadezer, filho de Roob, rei de Soba.	12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.
13 Voltando de sua vitória sobre os arameus, Davi aumentou ainda o seu renome, vencendo dezoito mil edomitas no vale do Sal.	13 David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:
14 Estabeleceu então governadores em Edom, e todos os edomitas tornaram-se súditos de Davi. E assim, o Senhor fazia com que Davi triunfasse em toda parte por onde ia.	14 And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.
15 Reinava pois Davi sobre todo o Israel, e praticava a justiça e a eqüidade para com todo o seu povo.	15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.
16 Joab, filho de Sarvia, comandava o exército; Josafá, filho de Ailud, era o cronista;	16 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
17 Sadoc, filho de Aquitob, e Aquimelec, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes e Saraias era escriba.	17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:
18 Banaías, filho de Jojada, comandava os cereteus e os feleteus. Os filhos de Davi eram sacerdotes.	18 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
