SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Depois disso, Davi bateu os filisteus e os submeteu, tirando-lhes as rédeas do governo.	1 Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them. And David took the bridle of tribute from 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 struck Moab, and he measured them with a line, leveling them to the ground. Now he measured with two lines, one to kill, and one to keep 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 And David struck Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, when he set out to rule 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 from his troops, David seized one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And he cut the sinew of the leg in all the chariot horses. But he left aside enough 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 arrived, so that they might bring reinforcements to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And David struck down twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.
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 positioned a garrison in Syria of Damascus. And Syria served David under tribute. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.
7 Tomou Davi os escudos de ouro que pertenciam aos soldados de Hadadezer e levou-os para Jerusalém.	7 And David took the armbands of gold, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8 De Bete e de Berot, cidades de Hadadezer, levou ainda bronze em grande quantidade.	8 And from Betah and Beeroth, cities of Hadadezer, king David took an exceedingly great amount of brass.
9 Ouvindo Toú, rei de Hamat, que Davi tinha desbaratado o exército de Hadadezer,	9 Then Toi, the king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire strength of Hadadezer.
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 so, Toi sent his son Joram to king David, so that he might greet him with congratulations, and give thanks, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had struck him down. For indeed, Toi was the enemy of Hadadezer. 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 also sanctified these things to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the peoples whom he had subdued:
12 Edom, Moab, os amonitas, os filisteus, Amalec, e ainda o espólio de Hadadezer, filho de Roob, rei de Soba.	12 from Syria, and Moab, and the sons Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amalek, and from the best spoils of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
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 a name for himself when he returned from seizing Syria, in the Valley of the Salt Pits, having cut down 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 positioned guards in Edom, and he stationed a garrison. And all of Edom was made to serve David. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.
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 of Israel. And David accomplished judgment and justice with all his people.
16 Joab, filho de Sarvia, comandava o exército; Josafá, filho de Ailud, era o cronista;	16 Now Joab, the son Zeruiah, was over the army. And Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.
17 Sadoc, filho de Aquitob, e Aquimelec, filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes e Saraias era escriba.	17 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Seraiah was the scribe.
18 Banaías, filho de Jojada, comandava os cereteus e os feleteus. Os filhos de Davi eram sacerdotes.	18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were priests.
