Chapter 4

And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

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

And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was 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,   

And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)

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

And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was 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.   

And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at 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.   

And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother 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.   

For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all 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.   

And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king 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.   

And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD 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!   

When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:

Se àquele que me trouxe novas, dizendo: Eis que Saul é morto, cuidando que trazia boas novas, eu logo lancei mão dele, e o matei em Ziclague, sendo essa a recompensa que lhe dei pelas novas,   

How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take 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?   

And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre 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.
