1 A nd the son of Saul heareth that Abner dead in Hebron, and his hands are feeble, and all Israel have been troubled.

Quando Isbosete, filho de Saul, soube que Abner morrera em Hebrom, esvaíram-se-lhe as forças, e todo o Israel ficou perturbado.

2 A nd two men, heads of troops, have been the son of Saul, the name of the one Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for also Beeroth is reckoned to Benjamin,

Tinha Isbosete, filho de Saul, dois homens chefes de guerrilheiros; um deles se chamava Baaná, e o outro Recabe, filhos de Rimom, o beerotita, dos filhos de Benjamim (porque também Beerote era contado de Benjamim,

3 a nd the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are there sojourners unto this day.

tendo os beerotitas fugido para Jitaim, onde têm peregrinado até o dia de hoje).

4 A nd to Jonathan son of Saul a son -- lame; he was a son of five years at the coming in of the rumour of Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifteth him up, and fleeth, and it cometh to pass in her hasting to flee, that he falleth, and becometh lame, and his name Mephibosheth.

Ora, Jônatas, filho de Saul, tinha um filho aleijado dos pés. Este era da idade de cinco anos quando chegaram de Jizreel as novas a respeito de Saul e Jônatas; pelo que sua ama o tomou, e fugiu; e sucedeu que, apressando-se ela a fugir, ele caiu, e ficou coxo. O seu nome era Mefibosete.

5 A nd the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, go, and come in at the heat of the day unto the house of Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down -- the lying down of noon;

Foram os filhos de Rimom, o beerotita, Recabe e Baanã, no maior calor de dia, e entraram em casa de Isbosete, estando ele deitado a dormir a sesta.

6 a nd thither they have come, unto the midst of the house, taking wheat, and they smite him unto the fifth, and Rechab and Baanah his brother have escaped;

Entraram ali até o meio da casa, como que vindo apanhar trigo, e o feriram no ventre; e Recabe e Baaná, seu irmão, escaparam.

7 y ea, they come in to the house, and he is lying on his bed, in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they smite him, and put him to death, and turn aside his head, and they take his head, and go the way of the plain all the night,

Porque entraram na sua casa, estando ele deitado na cama, no seu quarto de dormir, e o feriram e mataram, e cortando-lhe a cabeça, tomaram-na e andaram a noite toda pelo caminho da Arabá.

8 a nd bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth unto David in Hebron, and say unto the king, `Lo, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life; and Jehovah doth give to my lord the king vengeance this day, of Saul and of his seed.'

Assim trouxeram a cabeça de Isbosete a Davi em Hebrom, e disseram ao rei: Eis aqui a cabeça de Isbosete, filho de Saul, teu inimigo, que procurava a tua morte; assim o Senhor vingou hoje ao rei meu Senhor, de Saul e da sua descendência.

9 A nd David answereth Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saith to them, `Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

Mas Davi, respondendo a Recabe e a Baaná, seu irmão, filhos de Rimom, e beerotita, disse-lhes: Vive o Senhor, que remiu a minha alma de toda a angústia!

10 w hen one is declaring to me, saying, Lo, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him the tidings.

Se

11 A lso -- when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his own house, on his bed; and now, do not I require his blood of your hand, and have taken you away from the earth?'

quanto mais quando homens cruéis mataram um homem justo em sua casa, sobre a sua cama, não requererei eu e seu sangue de vossas mãos, e não vos exterminarei da terra?

12 A nd David commandeth the young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hang over the pool in Hebron, and the head of Ish-Bosheth they have taken, and bury in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron.

E Davi deu ordem aos seus mancebos; e eles os mataram e, cortando-lhes as mãos e os pés, os penduraram junto ao tanque em Hebrom. Tomaram, porém, a cabeça de Isbosete, e a sepultaram na sepultura de Abner, em Hebrom.
