II Samuel 20 Seba's Sedition and Death

 II Samuel 20

  Seba's Sedition and Death

1 Then there was found by chance a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin, who blew the horn, and said, We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Jesse; every one to tents, O Israel.

2 Then all the men of Israel turned from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah were united to their king from the Jordan to Jerusalem

3 When David came to his house in Jerusalem, the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to guard the house, and put them in a guarded house, and maintained them; but he did not enter them: and they were shut up to the day of their death, living as widows.

4 And the king said to Amasa, Summon to me the men of Judah for the third day: and thou then present thyself hither.

5 And Amasa went to summon Judah: but he tarried beyond the time that he had appointed him.

6 Then David said to Abishai, Sheba the son of Bicri will do us more harm now than Absalom: therefore take thou the servants of thy lord, and pursue him, lest he find himself strong cities, and escape. from our eyes.

7 Then went out after him the men of Joab, and the Cherethites, and all the mighty men: these went out from Jerusalem to go after Sheba the son of Bichri.

8 So when they came to the great stone that is by Gibeon, Amasa came before them: and Joab was girding himself with his garment which he had put on, and over it a girdle with a sword, on his loins, on its scabbard: and going forward he fell.

9 And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well with you, my brother? And Joab took Amasa's beard with his right hand to kiss him.

10 And Amasa did not spare himself from the sword that was in Joab's hand, so that he smote him with it in the fifth rib, and poured out his bowels to the ground; and he smote him not the second time, and he died: Then Joab and Abishai his brother went after Sheba the son of Bichri.

11 But one of Joab's young men stood by him, and said, Whoever pleases Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab.

12 And Amasa was wrapped in his blood in the middle of the way: and when that man saw that all the people stood still, he turned Amasa out of the way into the field, and cast a cloak over him; because he saw that everyone who came to him stopped.

13 And as he was out of the way, all the men followed Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

14 And Abel passed through all the tribes of Israel, even to Beth-maacah and to all the Berites: and they were all assembled, and also followed them.

15 And they came, and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah, and set up a dam against the city, as soon as it was in front of the rampart: and all the people that were with Joab beat the wall, to break it down.

16 Then a wise woman called out from within the city, Hear, hear, I beseech you, say to Joab, Come here, that I may speak with you.

17 he came to her, and said to the woman, Are you Joab? And he said, I am. And she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid. And he said, I hear.

18 Then she spake, saying, Formerly it was said, saying, Surely they asked counsel of Abel; and so they did.

19 I am one of the peaceable, and of the daughters of Israel: and thou seekest to slay a city which is the mother of Israel: why then wilt thou devour the heritage of the LORD?

20 Then answered Joab, and said, Far, far be it from me that I should do this, that I should devour or destroy!

21 This is not so: but one man from Mount Ephraim, whose name is Sheba, the son of Bichri, raised his hand against the king, against David; give me only this one, and I will leave the city. Then said the woman to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrust upon the wall.

22 And the woman, in her wisdom, went in to all the people, and they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it to Joab. Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

23 And Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;

24 And Adoram over the tributes; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the chancellor,

25 And Seva the scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar the priests;

26 And also Ira the Jairite was David's chief officer.

II Samuel 20 A sedição de Seba e a sua morte

 

II Samuel 20

A sedição de Seba e a sua morte

1 Então se achou ali por acaso um homem de Belial, cujo nome era Seba, filho de Bicri, homem de Benjamim, o qual tocou a buzina, e disse: Não temos parte em Davi, nem herança no filho de Jessé; cada um às tendas, ó Israel.

2 Então todos os homens de Israel deixaram de seguir Davi, e seguiram Seba, filho de Bicri; porém os homens de Judá se uniram ao seu rei desde o Jordão até Jerusalém

3 Vindo pois Davi para sua casa, a Jerusalém, tomou o rei as dez mulheres, suas concubinas, que deixara para guardarem a casa, e as pôs numa casa em guarda, e as sustentava; porém não entrou a elas: e estiveram encerradas até o dia de sua morte, vivendo como viúvas.

4 Disse mais o rei a Amasa: Convoca-me os homens de Judá para o terceiro dia: e tu então apresenta-te aqui.

5 E foi Amasa para convocar a Judá: porém demorou-se além do tempo que lhe tinha designado.

6 Então disse davi a Abisai: Mais mal agora nos fará Seba, o filho de Bicri, do que Absalão: pelo que toma tu os servos de teu senhor, e persegue-o, para que porventura não ache para si cidades forte, e escape de nossos olhos.

7 Então saíram atrás dele os homens de Joabe, e os quereteus, e todos os valentes: estes saíram de Jerusalém para irem atrás de Seba, filho de Bicri.

8 Chegando eles pois à pedra grande que está junto a Gibeom, Amasa veio perante eles: e estava Joabe cingindo da sua roupa que vestiu, e sobre ela um cinto com a espada, em seus lombos, na sua bainha: e, adiantando-se ele, lhe caiu.

9 E disse Joabe a Amasa: Vai contigo bem, meu irmão? E Joabe, com a mão direita, pegou da barba de Amasa, para o beijar.

10 E Amasa não se resguardou da espada que estava na mão de Joabe, de sorte que este o feriu com ela na quinta costela, e lhe derramou por terra as entranhas; e não o feriu segunda vez, e morreu: Então Joabe e Abisai, seu irmão foram atrás de Seba, filho de Bicri.

11 Mas um dentre os moços de Joabe parou junto a ele, e disse: Quem há que bem queira a Joabe, e quem seja por Davi, siga a Joabe.

12 E Amasa estava envolto do seu sangue no meio do caminho: e, vendo aquele homem que todo o povo parava, desviou a Amasa do caminho para o campo, e lançou sobre ele um manto; porque via que todo aquele que chegava a ele parava.

13 E, como estava apartado do caminho, todos os homens seguiram a Joabe para perseguirem a Seba filho de Bicri.

14 E passou por todas as tribos de Israel Abel, a saber, a Bete-Maaca e a todos os beritas: e ajuntaram-se todos, e também os seguiram.

15 E vieram, e o cercaram em Abel de Bete-Maaca, e levantaram uma tranqueira contra a cidade, assim que já estava em frente do antemuro: e todo o povo que estava com Joabe batia o muro, para o derrubar.

16 Então uma mulher sábia gritou de dentro da cidade: Ouvi, ouvi, peço-vos que digais a Joabe: Chega-te cá, para que eu te fale.

17 Chegou-se a ela, e disse a mulher: Tu és Joabe? E disse ele: Eu o sou, E ela lhe disse: Ouve as palavras de tua serva. E disse ele: Ouço.

18 Então falou ela, dizendo: Antigamente costumava-se falar, dizendo: Certamente pediram conselho a Abel; e assim o cumpriam.

19 Eu sou uma das pacíficas e das filhas de Israel: e tu procuras matar uma cidade que é madre em Israel: por que pois devorarias a herança do Senhor?

20 Então respondeu Joabe, e disse: Longe, longe de mim que eu tal faça, que eu devore ou arruíne!

21 A coisa não é assim: porém um só homem do monte de Efraim, cujo o nome é Seba, filho de Bicri, levantou a mão contra o rei, contra Davi; entregai-me só este, e retirar-me-ei da cidade. Então disse a mulher a Joabe: Eis que te será lançada a sua cabeça pelo muro.

22 E a mulher, na sua sabedoria, entrou a todo o povo, e cortaram a cabeça de Seba, filho de Bicri, e a lançaram a Joabe então tocou a buzina, e se retiraram da cidade, cada um para as suas tendas, e Joabe voltou a Jerusalém, ao rei.

23 E Joabe estava sobre todo o exército de Israel; e Benaia, filho de Joiada, sobre os quereteus e sobre os peleteus;

24 E Adorão sobre os tributos; e Josafá, filho de Ailude, era o chanceler,

25 E Seva o escrivão; e Zadoque e Abiatar os sacerdotes;

26 E também Ira, o jairita, era o oficial-mor de Davi.

बर्जिल्लै दाऊद से मिलता है

31 फिर गिलादी बर्जिल्लै रोगलीम से चला, और राजा के संग यरदन पार गया, कि उसके पीछे यरदन के पार चला जाए।

32 और बर्जिल्लै बहुत बूढ़ा और अस्सी वर्ष का या; और जब वह महनैम में रहता या, तब उस ने उसकी सहायता की, क्योंकि वह अति प्रतापी पुरूष या।

33 और राजा ने बर्जिल्लै से कहा, तू मेरे संग चल, और मैं यरूशलेम में अपके साय तुझे सम्भालूंगा।

34 परन्तु बर्जिल्लै ने राजा से कहा, मैं अपने जीवन के कितने दिनों तक राजा के संग यरूशलेम को जाता रहूँगा?

35 मैं आज अस्सी वर्ष का हूं; क्या मैं अच्छे और बुरे के बीच भेद कर सकता था? क्या तेरा दास खाने-पीने का स्वाद चख सकता है? क्या मैं अब पुरुष और महिला गायकों की आवाज़ सुन सकता हूँ? और तेरा दास अब तक मेरे प्रभु राजा पर क्यों बोझ बना रहेगा?

36 तेरा दास राजा के संग यरदन पार थोड़ा ही आगे जाएगा, फिर राजा मुझ को ऐसा बदला क्यों देगा?

37 तेरा दास लौट आए, और वह मेरे नगर में मेरे माता पिता के कब्रिस्तान में मर जाए। मेरे प्रभु राजा को जाने दे, और जो तेरी दृष्टि में अच्छा लगे वही उसके साय कर।

38 तब राजा ने कहा, किम्हाम मेरे साय पार जाएगा, और जो कुछ तुझे भाए वही मैं उसके साय करूंगा, और जो कुछ तू मुझ से मांगेगा वही मैं तेरे लिथे करूंगा।

39 जब सब लोग यरदन के पार उतर गए, और राजा भी पार हो गया, तब राजा ने बर्जिल्लै को चूमा, और उसको आशीर्वाद दिया, और वह अपके स्यान को लौट गया।

40 वहां से राजा गिलगाल की ओर गया, और किमाम उसके संग पार गया; और सब यहूदी और आधे इस्राएली राजा की अगुवाई करने लगे।

41 तब सब इस्राएली पुरूष राजा के पास आकर राजा से कहने लगे, हमारे यहूदी भाइयोंने तुझे क्यों लूटा, और दाऊद के सब पुरूषोंसमेत राजा को उसके भवन में यरदन के पार पहुंचा दिया? ? ?

42 तब सब यहूदी पुरुषोंने इस्राएली पुरूषोंको उत्तर दिया, कि राजा हमारा कुटुम्बी है; और तुम इस पर क्रोधित क्यों हो? क्या हमने राजा के खर्चे पर खाना खाया, या उसने हमें उपहार दिया?

43 इस्राएली पुरूषों ने यहूदा के पुरूषों को उत्तर देकर कहा, राजा के पास हमारा दस भाग है, और दाऊद के विषय में भी तुझ से अधिक है; फिर तू ने हमें क्यों तुच्छ समझा, कि हमारा वचन पहिला न हो, कि हमारे राजा को लौटा ले आए? परन्तु यहूदा के पुरुषों की बातें इस्राएलियों की बातों से अधिक प्रबल थीं।

II Samuel 19 Barzillai meets David

 II Samuel 19

Barzillai meets David

31 Also Barzillai the Gileadite went down from Rogelim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, to accompany him to the other side of Jordan.

32 And Barzillai was very old, eighty years old; and he had supported the king, when he had his dwelling in Mahanaim, because he was a very great man,

33 And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem.

34 But Barzillai said to the king, How many days of the years of my life will I go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35 From the age of eighty years am I this day; could I discern between good and bad? Could your servant taste like food and drink? Could I hear the voice of male and female singers anymore? And why shall thy servant yet be a burden to my lord the king?

36 Your servant will go over Jordan a little farther with the king. And why will the king reward me with such a reward?

37 Let your servant return, and he may die in my city at the burial place of my father and my mother. let my lord the king go, and do to him what is good in your eyes.

38 Then the king said, Chimham shall pass over with me, and I will do to him as seems good in your eyes, and whatever you ask of me I will do for you.

39 When all the people had crossed Jordan, and the king had crossed over, the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.

40 And from there the king passed over to Gilgal, and Chimam passed over with him: and all the people of Judah led the king, and half of Israel also.

41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why did our brethren the men of Judah rob thee, and bring the king to his house over Jordan, and all the men of David with them? ?

42 Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is our kinsman; and why are you angry about it? Did we eat at the king's expense, or did he present us with a gift?

43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, Ten parts we have in the king, and even in David we have more than you; why, then, did you make light of us, that our word should not be the first, to bring back our king? But the word of the men of Judah was stronger than the word of the men of Israel.

II Samuel 19 Barzilai encontra-se com Davi

 

II Samuel 19

Barzilai encontra-se com Davi

31 Também Barzilai, o gileadita, desceu de Rogelim, e passou com o rei o Jordão, para o acompanhar à outra banda do Jordão.

32 E era Barzilai mui velho, da idade de oitenta anos; e ele tinha sustentado o rei, quando tinha a sua morada em Maanaim, porque era homem mui grande,

33 E disse o rei a Barzilai: Passa tu comigo, e sustentar-te-ei comigo em Jerusalém.

34 Porém Barzilai disse ao rei: Quantos serão os dias dos anos da minha vida para que suba com o rei a Jerusalém?

35 Da idade de oitenta anos sou eu hoje; poderia eu dicernir entre bom e mau? Poderia o teu servo ter gosto de comer e beber? Poderia eu mais ouvir a voz dos cantores e cantoras? E por que será o teu servo ainda pesado ao rei meu senhor?

36 Com o rei passará teu servo ainda um pouco mais além do Jordão: e por que me recompensará o rei com tal recompensa?

37 Deixa voltar o teu servo, e morrerá na minha cidade junto à sepultura de meu pai e de minha mãe: mas ei aí está o teu servo Quimã; que passe com o rei meu senhor, e faze-lhe o que bem parecer aos teus olhos.

38 Então disse o rei: Quimã passará comigo, e eu lhe farei como bem parecer aos teus olhos, e tudo quanto me pedires te farei.

39 Havendo pois todo o povo passado o Jordão, e passando também o rei, beijou o rei a Barzilai, e o abençoou: e ele voltou para o seu lugar.

40 E dali passou o rei a Gilgal, e Quimã passou com ele: e todo o povo de Judá conduziu o rei, como também a metade de Israel.

41 E eis que todos os homens de Israel vieram ao rei, e disseram ao rei: Por que te furtaram nossos irmãos, os homesn de Judá, e conduziram o rei a sua casa por sobre o Jordão, e todos os homens de Davi com eles?

42 Então responderam todos os homens de Judá aos homens de Israel: Porquanto o rei é nosso parente; e por que vos irais com isso? Porventura comemos à custa do rei, ou nos apresentou algum presente?

43 E responderam os homens de Israel aos homens de Judá, e disseram: Dez partes temos no rei, e até em Davi mais temos nós do que vós; por que pois fizestes pouca conta de nós, para que a nossa palavra não fosse a primeira, para tornar a trazer o nosso rei? Porém a palavra dos homens de Judá foi mais forte do que a palavra dos homens de Israel.

मपीबोशेत दाऊद से मिलता है

24 और शाऊल का पुत्र मपीबोशेत भी राजा से भेंट करने को गया, और जिस दिन से राजा निकला उस दिन से लेकर उसके आने के दिन तक न तो अपके पांव धोए, और न मुण्डा, और न अपके वस्त्र धोए थे।

25 जब वह राजा से भेंट करने को यरूशलेम को पहुंचा, तब राजा ने उस से कहा, हे मपीबोशेत, तू मेरे संग क्योंनहीं गया?

26 उस ने कहा, हे मेरे प्रभु, हे राजा, मेरे दास ने मुझ को धोखा दिया है; क्योंकि तेरे दास ने कहा या, कि मैं गदहे पर काठी बान्धूंगा, और उस पर चढ़कर राजा के संग चलूंगा; क्योंकि तेरा दास लंगड़ा है।

27 फिर अपके दास की अपके प्रभु राजा के साम्हने फूठी निन्दा की; परन्तु मेरा प्रभु राजा परमेश्वर के दूत के समान है; इसलिए वही करो जो तुम्हारी दृष्टि में अच्छा है।

28 क्योंकि मेरे पिता के सारे घराने के लोग मेरे प्रभु राजा की दृष्टि में प्राणदण्ड के योग्य थे, तौभी तू ने अपके दास को अपक्की मेज पर खानेवालोंमें ठहराया है; फिर मुझे राजा की दोहाई देने का और क्या अधिकार है?

29 राजा ने उस से कहा, तू अपके काम की चर्चा फिर क्योंकरता है? मैं पहले ही कह चुका हूँ: तुम और सीबा भूमि का बँटवारा करते हो।

30 मपीबोशेत ने राजा से कहा, वह भी सब कुछ ले ले; क्योंकि मेरा प्रभु राजा अपके घर कुशल झेम से आया है।

II Samuel 19 Mephibosheth meets David

 II Samuel 19

Mephibosheth meets David

24 Also Mephibosheth, Saul's son, went down to meet the king, and he had not washed his feet, nor shaved, nor washed his clothes from the day the king went out until the day he returned. in peace.

25 And it came to pass, when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?

26 And he said, O my lord the king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle a donkey, and I will ride upon it, and I will go with the king; for your servant is lame.

27 Furthermore, falsely accused your servant before my lord the king; but my lord the king is like an angel of God; therefore do what seems good in your eyes.

28 For all my father's house were but men worthy of death before my lord the king, and yet thou hast set thy servant among them that eat at thy table: and what more right have I to cry unto the king?

29 And the king said unto him, Why dost thou speak any more of thy business? I already said: You and Ziba divide the lands.

30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Let him also take all: for my lord the king is come to his house in peace.

24 Também Mefibosete, filho de saul, desceu a encontrar-se com o rei, e não tinha lavado os pés, nem tinha feito a barba, nem tinha lavado os vestidos desde o dia em que o rei tinha saído até ao dia em que voltou em paz.

25 E sucedeu que, vindo ele a Jerusalém a encontrar-se com o rei, disse-lhe o rei: Por que não foste comigo, Mefibosete?

26 E disse ele: Ó rei meu senhor, o meu servo me enganou; porque o teu servo dizia: Albadarei um jumento, e nele montarei, e irei com o rei; pois o teu servo é coxo.

27 Demais disto, falsamente acusou o teu servo diante do rei meu senhor; porém o rei meu senhor é como um anjo de Deus; faze pois o que parecer bem aos teus olhos.

28 Porque toda a casa de meu pai não era se não de homens dignos de morte diante do rei meu senhor, e contudo puseste a teu servo entre os que comem à tua mesa: e que mais direito tenho eu de clamar ao rei?

29 E disse-lhe o rei: Por que ainda falas mais de teus negócios? Já disse eu: Tu e Ziba reparti as terras.

30 E disse Mefibosete ao rei: Tome ele também tudo: pois já veio o rei meu senhor em paz à sua casa.

 द्वितीय शमूएल 19

डेविड यरूशलेम लौट आया

11 तब दाऊद राजा ने सादोक और एब्यातार नाम याजकोंके पास कहला भेजा, कि यहूदा के पुरनियोंसे कह, कि राजा को उसके भवन में लाने में तुम सब से सब से पीछे क्योंहोना? (क्योंकि सारे इस्राएल की बातें राजा तक, यहां तक ​​कि उसके भवन तक भी पहुंची।)

12 तुम तो मेरे भाई, और मेरी हडि्डयां और मांस हो; फिर तुम राजा को लौटा लाने में सब से पीछे क्योंहोना?

13 और अमासा से कहना, क्या तू मेरी हड्डी और मांस नहीं है? यदि तू योआब की सन्ती मेरे सम्मुख छावनी का प्रधान न बना रहे, तो परमेश्वर मुझ से वैसा ही वरन उस से भी अधिक करे।

14 तब उस ने सब यहूदी पुरूषोंका मन एक मन सा कर दिया; और उन्होंने राजा के पास कहला भेजा, कि अपके सब कर्मचारियोंसमेत लौट आ।

15 तब राजा लौटकर यरदन के पास आया; और यहूदा गिलगाल से राजा से भेंट करने के लिथे यरदन के पार आया।

16 तब शिमी जो बहरीमवासी या, और जेमिनी का पोता, और यहूदी पुरूषोंसमेत दाऊद राजा से भेंट करने को फुर्ती से गया।

17 और उसके साथ एक हजार बिन्यामीनी पुरूष, और शाऊल के घराने का कर्मचारी सीबा, और उसके पन्द्रह पुत्र, और उसके साथ बीस सेवक; और वे तुरन्त राजा के साम्हने यरदन पार हो गए।

18 और जब नाव राजा के भवन के पार जाने, और जो उसे भाता या उस काम को करने के लिथे उसके पास से गुजरती, तब जेरा के पुत्र शिमी ने यरदन पार होकर राजा को दण्डवत्‌ किया।

19 और राजा ने कहा, मेरा प्रभु मेरे अधर्म का दोष मेरे ऊपर न मढ़ने पाए, और यह स्मरण न रहे कि जिस दिन मेरा प्रभु राजा यरूशलेम से निकला उस समय तेरे दास ने ऐसी दुष्टता की थी; राजा को अपने दिल में मत रखो।

20 क्योंकि तेरा दास निश्चय मान लेता है कि मैं ने पाप किया है: तौभी देख, अपके प्रभु राजा से भेंट करने के लिथे यूसुफ के सारे घराने में मैं ही पहिला हूं।

21 तब सरूयाह के पुत्र अबीशै ने कहा, क्या शिमी यहोवा के अभिषिक्त को शाप देने के कारण इस कारण मार डाला न जाएगा?

22 दाऊद ने कहा, हे सरूयाह के पुत्रों, मुझे तुम से क्या काम, कि तुम आज मेरे बैरी हो? क्या आज इज़राइल में कोई मरेगा? मैं क्यों नहीं जानता कि आज मुझे इस्राएल का राजा बनाया गया है?

23 और राजा ने शिमी से कहा, तू न मरेगा। और राजा ने उससे शपथ खाई।

II Samuel 19 David returns to Jerusalem

 II Samuel 19

David returns to Jerusalem

11 Then king David sent to Zadok and Abiathar, priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the words of all Israel reached the king, even to his house.).

12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: why then should ye be the last to bring back the king?

13 And to Amasa ye shall say, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? So may God do to me, and more, if you are not captain of the camp before me forever instead of Joab.

14 So he moved the heart of all the men of Judah like one man: and they sent to the king, saying, Return thou, and all thy servants.

15 Then the king returned, and came to Jordan; and Judah came from Gilgal to meet the king on the other side of Jordan.

16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who was from Bahurim, hurried down and went down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

17 And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons, and his twenty servants with him; and they promptly crossed over Jordan before the king.

18 And when the boat passed by to bring the king's house across and to do what seemed good in his eyes, then Shimei the son of Gera prostrated himself before the king as he crossed the Jordan.

19 And the king said, Let not my lord charge me with my guilt, and remember not what thy servant did so wickedly, in the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem; don't keep the king that in your heart.

20 For thy servant indeed confesses that I have sinned: yet, behold, I am the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.

21 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei die for this, having cursed the Lord's anointed?

22 But David said, What have I to do with you, sons of Zeruiah, that you are adversaries against me today? Would anyone die today in Israel? Why do I not know that today I have been made king over Israel?

23 And the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.

II Samuel 19 Davi volta para Jerusalém

 

II Samuel 19

Davi volta para Jerusalém

11 Então o rei Davi enviou a Zadoque e Abiatar, sacerdotes dizendo: Falai aos anciãos de Judá, dizendo: Por que seríeis vós os últimos em tornar trazer o rei para sua casa? ( porque as palavras de todo Israel chegaram ao rei, até a sua casa.).

12 Vós sois meus irmãos, meus ossos e minha carne sois vós: por que pois seríeis os últimos em tornar a trazer o rei?

13 E a Amasa direis: Porventura não és tu meu osso e minha carne? Assim me faça Deus, e outro tanto, se não fores chefe do arraial diante de mim para sempre, em lugar de Joabe.

14 Assim moveu o coração de todos os homens de Judá como o de um só homem: e enviaram ao rei, dizendo: Volta tu com todos os teus servos.

15 Então o rei voltou, e chegou até ao Jordão; e Judá veio de Gilgal, para ir encontrar-se com o rei, à outra banda do Jordão.

16 E apressou-se Simei, filho de Gera, filho de Jemini, que era de Baurim: e desceu com os homens de Judá a encontrar-se com o rei Davi.

17 E com ele mil varões de Benjamim, como também Ziba, servo da casa de Saul, e seus quinze filhos, e seus vinte servos com ele; e prontamente passaram o Jordão adiante do rei.

18 E, passando a barca, para fazer passar a casa do rei e para fazer o que bem parecesse aos seus olhos, então Simei, filho de Gera, se prostrou diante do rei, passando ele o Jordão.

19 E disse o rei: Não me impute meu senhor a minha culpa, e não te lembres do que tão perversamente fez teu servo, no dia em que o rei meu senhor saiu de Jerusalém; não conserve o rei isso no coração.

20 Porque teu servo deveras confessa que eu pequei: porém eis que eu sou o primeiro que de toda a casa de José desci a encontrar-me com o rei meu senhor.

21 Então respondeu Abisai, filho de Zeruia, e disse: Não morreria pois Simei por isto, havendo amaldiçoado ao ungido do Senhor?

22 Porém davi disse: Que tenho eu convosco, filhos de Zeruia, para que hoje me sejais adversários? Morreria alguém hoje em Israel? Porque porventura não sei que hoje fui feito rei sobre Israel?

23 E disse o rei a Simei: Não morrerás. E o rei lho jurou.

1 उन्होंने योआब से कहा, देख, राजा तो रोता हुआ अबशालोम के लिये रोता हुआ जाता है।

2 और उसी दिन की विजय से सब प्रजा के लोगोंमें शोक छा गया; क्योंकि उसी दिन लोगोंने यह सुना, कि राजा अपके पुत्र के कारण खेदित है।

3 और उसी दिन जैसे लोग युद्ध से लज्जित होकर भागते हैं, वे उसी दिन नगर में घुस आए।

4 तब राजा ने अपना मुंह ढांप लिया; और राजा ने बड़े शब्द से पुकारा, हे मेरे पुत्र अबशालोम, हे मेरे पुत्र अबशालोम!

5 तब योआब राजभवन में जाकर कहने लगा, तू ने आज के दिन अपके सब कर्मचारियोंका मुंह काला किया है, जिन्होंने आज के दिन तेरा, और तेरे बेटे-बेटियोंका, और तेरी स्त्रियोंका प्राण बचाया है। तुम्हारी रखेलियों का जीवन;

6 जो तुम से बैर रखते हैं उन से प्रेम रखो, और अपके प्रेम रखनेवालोंसे बैर रखो; क्‍योंकि तू ने आज प्रगट किया है, कि हाकिम और सेवक तेरे लिथे निकम्मे हैं; क्‍योंकि मैं ने आज जान लिया है, कि यदि अबशालोम जीवित रहता, और हम सब के सब आज मर जाते, तो यह इस देश में अच्‍छा जान पड़ता। आपकी आंखें।

7 इसलिथे अब उठकर अपके दासोंके मन की बात कह; क्योंकि मैं तुझ से यहोवा की शपय खाता हूं, कि यदि तू बाहर न निकले, तो आज की रात को एक भी मनुष्य तेरे साय न रहेगा; और यह तुम्हारे लिये उस सब विपत्ति से बड़ी विपत्ति होगी जो तुम्हारे बचपन से लेकर अब तक तुम पर पड़ी है।

8 तब राजा उठकर फाटक में बैठ गया; और सब लोगों से कह दिया, कि देखो, राजा फाटक में बैठा है। तब सब लोग राजा के साम्हने हाज़िर हुए; परन्तु इस्राएली अपके अपके डेरे को भाग गए।

9 और इस्राएल के सब गोत्रोंके सब लोग यह कहकर आपस में फगड़ाने लगे, कि राजा ने हम को हमारे शत्रुओं के हाथ से, और उस ने पलिश्तियोंके हाथ से बचाया है; और अब वह अबशालोम के डर के मारे देश से भाग गया है।

10 और अबशालोम जिसका अभिषेक हम ने अपके लिथे किया या, वह लड़ाई में मर गया है; सो अब तुम क्योंचुप रहते हो, और राजा को वापस नहीं लाते?

II Samuel 19

 II Samuel 19

1 And they said unto Joab, Behold, the king goeth weeping, and mourneth for Absalom.

2 Then the victory turned that very day into grief for all the people: for that very day the people had heard it said, The king is grieved because of his son.

3 And that same day the people crept into the city, as people flee from the battle in shame.

4 So the king had his face covered; and the king cried with a loud voice, Absalom my son, Absalom my son, my son!

5 Then Joab went in to the king's house, and said, "Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who have saved your life this day, and the lives of your sons and daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the life of your concubines;

6 Loving you that hate you, and hating those that love you: because you make it known today that captains and servants are worthless to you: because I understand today that if Absalom lived, and we all died today, then it would seem good in your eyes.

7 Now therefore, arise, go out, and speak according to the heart of your servants: for I swear to you by the Lord, if you do not go out, not one man will remain with you tonight; and this will be greater evil to you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now.

8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate; and they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king sitteth in the gate. Then all the people came to present themselves before the king; but Israel fled every man to his tents.

9 And all the people, in all the tribes of Israel, were quarreling among themselves, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he fled from the land because of Absalom.

10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: now therefore why are you silent, and do not bring back the king?

II Samuel 19

 

II Samuel 19

1 E disseram a Joabe: Eis que o rei anda chorando, e lastima-se por Absalão.

2 Então a vitória se tornou naquele mesmo dia em tristeza para todo o povo: porque naquele mesmo dia o povo ouvira dizer: Mui triste está o rei por causa de seu filho.

3 E naquele mesmo dia o povo entrou às furtadelas na cidade, como o povo de vergonha se escoa quando foge da peleja.

4 Estava pois o rei com o rosto coberto; e o rei gritava à alta voz: Meu filho Absalão, Absalão meu filho, meu filho!

5 Então entrou Joabe ao rei em casa, e disse: Hoje envergonhaste as caras de todos os teus servos, que livraram hoje a tua vida, e a vida de teus filhos, e de tuas filhas, e a vida de tuas mulheres, e a vida de tuas concubinas;

6 Amando tu os que te aborrecem e aborrecendo aos que te amam: porque hoje dás a entender que nada valem contigo capitães e servos: porque entendo hoje que se Absalão vivesse, e todos nós hoje fôssemos mortos, então bem te parecera aos teus olhos.

7 Levanta-te pois agora, sai e fala conforme ao coração de teus servos: porque pelo Senhor te juro que, se não saíres, nem um só homem ficará contigo esta noite; e maior mal te será isto que todo o mal que tem vindo sobre ti desde tua mocidade até agora.

8 Então o rei se levantou, e se assentou à porta; e fizeram saber a todo o povo, dizendo: Eis que o rei está assentado à porta. Então todo o povo veio apresentar-se diante do rei; porém Israel fugiu cada um para as suas tendas.

9 E todo o povo, em todas as tribos de Israel, andava altercando entre si, dizendo: O rei nos tirou das mãos de nossos inimigos, e ele nos livrou das mãos dos filisteus; e agora fugiu da terra por causa de Absalão.

10 E Absalão, a quem ungimos sobre nós, já morreu na peleja: agora pois,por que vos calais, e não fazeis voltar o rei?

दाऊद, अबशालोम की मृत्यु के बारे में सुनकर फूट-फूट कर रोया

19 तब सादोक के पुत्र अहीमास ने कहा, मुझे दौड़ जाने दे, और मैं राजा से कहूंगा, कि यहोवा ने उसके शत्रुओं के हाथ का पलटा लिया है।

20 योआब ने उस से कहा, आज तो तू शुभ समाचार देने न पाएगा, परन्तु दूसरे दिन सुनाना; परन्तु आज समाचार न देना, क्योंकि राजकुमार मर गया है।

21 योआब ने कूशी से कहा, जो कुछ तू ने देखा है वह जाकर राजा को बता। और कूशी योआब को दण्डवत् करके दौड़ा।

22 और सादोक के पुत्र अहीमास ने जाकर योआब से कहा, जो कुछ हो, मुझे भी कूशी के पीछे दौड़ जाने दे। योआब ने कहा, हे मेरे पुत्र, अब तू क्योंभागता है, क्योंकि तेरे पास कोई उचित सन्देश नहीं है?

23 अहीमास ने कहा, जो कुछ हो सो हो, मैं दौड़ूंगा। योआब ने उस से कहा, भाग जा। और अहीमास मैदान के मार्ग से दौड़ा, और कूशी को पहुंचा।

24 और दाऊद दोनोंफाटकोंके बीच में बैठा या; और पहरुए फाटक की छत पर शहरपनाह के पास चढ़ गया; और उस ने आंखें उठाकर क्या देखा, कि एक पुरूष अकेला दौड़ा आता है।

25 तब पहरूए ने चिल्लाकर राजा से कहा, यदि वह अकेला आता है, तो उसके मुंह से समाचार मिलेगा। और यह चल रहा था और आ रहा था।

26 फिर पहरूए ने एक और मनुष्य को दौड़ता हुआ देखा, और पहरूए ने द्वारपाल को बुलाकर कहा, सुन, एक और मनुष्य अकेला दौड़ा आता है। तब राजा ने कहा, यह भी समाचार लाता है।

27 और पहरूए ने कहा, पहिले का दौड़ना मुझे सादोक के पुत्र अहीमास का सा जान पड़ता है। तब राजा ने कहा, यह भला मनुष्य है, और तू शुभ समाचार लेकर आएगा।

28 तब अहीमास ने पुकार के राजा से कहा, शान्‍ति। और उस ने भूमि पर मुंह के बल राजा को दण्डवत् करके कहा, यहोवा धन्य है, जिस ने उन पुरूषोंके हाथ पकड़वा दिया है जिन्होंने मेरे प्रभु राजा के विरूद्ध हाथ उठाया या।

29 तब राजा ने पूछा, क्या वह जवान अबशालोम से कुशल से है? अहीमास ने कहा, जब योआब ने राजा के कर्मचारी को और मुझ तेरे दास को भेजा, तब मैं ने बड़ी हुल्लड़ देखी; लेकिन मुझे नहीं पता कि वह क्या था।

30 राजा ने कहा, मुड़कर यहां खड़ा हो। और मुड़ा, और रुक गया।

31 तब कूशी आया, और कूशी ने कहा, हे मेरे प्रभु राजा को यह समाचार मिलेगा, कि यहोवा ने आज के दिन उन सभोंसे जो तेरे विरूद्ध उठे थे तेरा पलटा लिया है।

32 तब राजा ने कूशी से पूछा, क्या वह जवान अबशालोम से कुशल से है? कूशी ने कहा, मेरे प्रभु राजा के शत्रु उस जवान पुरूष के समान हों, और वे सब जो तेरी हानि करने को उठ खड़े हुए हों।

33 तब राजा घबरा गया, और द्वार के ऊपर वाली कोठरी में जाकर रो पड़ा; और चलते चलते उस ने योंकहा, हे मेरे पुत्र अबशालोम, हे मेरे पुत्र, हे मेरे पुत्र, हे मेरे पुत्र, अबशालोम! काश मैं तुम्हारे लिए मर जाता, अबशालोम, मेरे बेटे, मेरे बेटे!

II Samuel 18 David, hearing of Absalom's death, weeps bitterly

 II Samuel 18

David, hearing of Absalom's death, weeps bitterly

19 Then said Ahimaaz, son of Zadok, Let me run, and I will tell the king that the Lord has avenged him of the hand of his enemies.

20 But Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not be a bearer of good news today, but another day thou shalt bring it; but today thou shalt not break the news, because the king's son is dead.

21 And Joab said to Cushi, Go thou, and tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed down to Joab, and ran.

22 And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok went on and said to Joab, Whatever it may be, let me also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Why would you run now, my son, since you have no suitable message?

23 Whatever it is, Ahimaaz said, I will run. And Joab said to him, Run. And Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and passed to Cushi.

24 And David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the terrace of the gate by the wall: and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was running alone.

25 The watchman therefore cried out, and said to the king, If he come alone, there is news in his mouth. And he was walking and coming.

26 Then the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called to the gatekeeper, and said, Behold, another man is running alone. Then the king said, This man also brings news.

27 Said more the watchman: I see the running of the first, which seems to be the running of Ahimaaz, son of Zadok. Then the king said, This is a good man, and you will come with good news.

28 Then Ahimaaz cried, and said to the king, Peace. And he bowed down to the king with his face to the ground, and said, Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king.

29 Then said the king, Is it well with the young man, with Absalom? And Ahimaaz said, I saw a great uproar, when Joab sent the king's servant, and me your servant; but I don't know what it was.

30 And the king said, Turn, and stand here. And he turned around, and stopped.

31 And, behold, Cushi came: and Cushi said, My lord the king shall be told that the LORD hath avenged thee this day of the hand of all them that rose up against thee.

32 Then said the king to Cushi, Is it well with the young man, with Absalom? And Cushi said, May the enemies of my lord the king be like that young man, and all who rose up against thee for harm.

33 Then the king was troubled, and he went up to the room that was above the door, and wept; and walking, he said thus: My son Absalom, my son, my son, Absalom! I wish I had died for you, Absalom, my son, my son!

II Samuel 18 Davi, sabendo da morte de Absalão, chora amargamente

 

II Samuel 18

Davi, sabendo da morte de Absalão, chora amargamente

19 Então disse Aimaás, filho de Zadoque: Deixa-me correr, e anunciarei ao rei que já o Senhor o vingou da mão de seus inimigos.

20 Mas Joabe lhe disse: Tu não serás hoje portador de boas novas, porém outro dia as levarás; mas hoje não darás a nova, porque é morto o filho do rei.

21 E disse Joabe a Cusi: Vai tu, e dize ao rei o que viste. E Cusi se inclinou a Joabe, e correu.

22 E prosseguiu Aimaás, filho de Zadoque, e disse a Joabe: Seja o que for, deixa-me também correr após Cusi. E disse Joabe: Para que agora correrias tu, meu filho, pois não tens mensagem conveniente?

23 Seja o que for, disse Aimaás, correrei. E Joabe lhe disse: Corre. E Aimaás correu pelo caminho da planície, e passou a Cusi.

24 E Davi estava assentado entre as duas portas; e a sentinela subiu ao terraço da porta junto ao muro: e levantou os olhos e olhou, e eis que um homem corria só.

25 Gritou pois a sentinela, e o disse ao rei: Se vem só, há novas em sua boca. E vinha andando e chegando.

26 Então viu a sentinela outro homem que corria, e a sentinela gritou ao porteiro, e disse: Eis que lá vem outro homem correndo só. Então disse o rei: Também este traz novas.

27 Disse mais a sentinela: Vejo o correr do primeiro, que parece ser o correr de Aimaás, filho de Zadoque. Então disse o rei: Este é homem de bem, e virás com boas novas.

28 Gritou pois Aimaás, e disse ao rei: Paz. E inclinou-se ao rei com o rosto em terra, e disse: Bendito seja o Senhor, que entregou os homens que levantaram a mão contra o rei meu senhor.

29 Então disse o rei: Vai bem com o mancebo, com Absalão? E disse Aimaás: Vi um grande alvoroço, quando Joabe mandou o servo do rei,e a mim teu servo; porém não sei o que era.

30 E disse o rei: Vira-te, e põe-te aqui. E virou-se, e parou.

31 E eis que vinha Cusi: e disse Cusi: Anunciar-se-á ao rei meu senhor que hoje o Senhor te vingou da mão de todos os que se levantaram contra ti.

32 Então disse o rei a Cusi: Vai bem com o mancebo, com Absalão? E disse Cusi: Sejam como aquele mancebo os inimigos do rei meu senhor, e todos os que se levantaram contra ti para mal.

33 Então o rei se perturbou, e subiu á sala que estava por cima da porta, e chorou; e andando, dizia assim: Meu filho Absalão, meu filho, meu filho, Absalão! Quem me dera que eu morrera por ti, Absalão, meu filho, meu filho!

द्वितीय शमूएल 18 अबशालोम को एक पेड़ से लटका दिया जाता है और योआब उसे मार डालता है

 द्वितीय शमूएल 18

अबशालोम को एक पेड़ से लटका दिया जाता है और योआब उसे मार डालता है

9 तब अबशालोम दाऊद के जनोंसे मिला; और अबशालोम खच्चर पर चढ़ा हुआ या; तथा; जैसे ही खच्चर एक बड़े बांज वृक्ष की मोटी शाखाओं के नीचे घुसा, उसका सिर उस बांज वृक्ष से लग गया, और वह आकाश और पृथ्वी के बीच में लटका रहा: और खच्चर जो उसके नीचे था, आगे निकल गया।

10 जब किसी मनुष्य ने देखा, तब उस ने योआब को बताया, और कहा, मैं ने अबशालोम को बांज में लटका हुआ देखा है।

11 तब योआब ने बतानेवाले से कहा, जब तू ने उसको देखा, तो उसे वहीं भूमि पर क्योंनहीं मार डाला? और मुझे तुझे चाँदी के दस टुकड़े और एक कटिबन्ध देना होगा।

12 उस मनुष्य ने योआब से कहा, यदि मैं अपके हाथ में चान्दी के हजार टुकड़े तौल भी सकूं, तौभी मैं राजकुमार के विरुद्ध हाथ न बढ़ाऊंगा; क्योंकि हम ने तो सुना है कि राजा ने तुझे और अबीशै और इत्तै को आज्ञा दी यी, और कहा, हे अबशालोम, तुम में से हर एक जवान को छूने से सावधान रहना।

13 यदि मैं ने अपके प्राण को जोखिममें डालकर फूठी बात भी कही हो, तौभी राजा से कुछ न छिपाऊंगा; और आप स्वयं विरोध करेंगे।

14 तब योआब ने कहा, मैं तेरे साय यहां योंही रहने न पाऊंगा। और उस ने तीन लकड़ी ले कर अबशालोम का हृदय बांज वृक्ष के बीच में जीवित रहते हुए छेद डाला।

15 और दस जवानों ने योआब के हथियार लिए हुए उसको घेर लिया। और उन्होंने अबशालोम को मारकर घात किया।

16 तब योआब ने नरसिंगे को फूंका, और प्रजा इस्राएल का पीछा करने से लौट गई, क्योंकि योआब ने प्रजा को रोक रखा या।

17 और उन्होंने अबशालोम को पकड़कर जंगल के एक बड़े गड़हे में डाल दिया, और उसके ऊपर पत्यरों का बहुत बड़ा ढेर लगा दिया; और सब इस्राएली अपके अपके डेरे को भाग गए।

18 और अबशालोम जब तक जीवित या, तब उस ने यह कहकर, कि मेरे नाम का स्मरण कराने के लिथे मेरा कोई पुत्र नहीं, उस ने अपके लिथे एक खम्भा खड़ा किया, जो राजा के ताऊन में है। और उस ने उस स्तम्भ का नाम उसी के नाम पर रखा; इस कारण वह आज तक अबशालोम का स्तम्भ कहलाता है।

II Samuel 18 Absalom is suspended from a tree and Joab kills him

 II Samuel 18

Absalom is suspended from a tree and Joab kills him

9 And Absalom met with the servants of David; and Absalom was riding on a mule; and; As the mule entered under the thick branches of a great oak, his head caught on the oak, and it hung between heaven and earth: and the mule, who was under him, passed on.

10 When a man saw, he told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging from an oak.

11 Then Joab said to the man who had told him, "Since you saw him, why didn't you smite him right there on the ground?" And I would have to give you ten pieces of silver and a belt.

12 But the man said to Joab, Even if I could weigh a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not stretch out my hand against the king's son, for we have heard that the king commanded you, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Take heed, every one of you, from touching the young man, Absalom.

13 Even if I spoke a lie at the risk of my life, I would not hide anything from the king; and you yourself would oppose.

14 Then said Joab, I will not tarry thus with thee here. And he took three darts, and pierced Absalom's heart with them, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.

15 And ten young men, bearing Joab's weapons, surrounded him. And they smote Absalom and slew him.

16 Then Joab blew the horn, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab held back the people.

17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into the forest, into a great pit, and heaved a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled, every man to his tent.

18 Now Absalom, when he was yet alive, had taken and set up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale, for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance. And he called that column by its own name; therefore it is called the Pillar of Absalom to this day.

II Samuel 18 Absalão fica suspenso de uma árvore e Joabe mata-o

 

II Samuel 18

Absalão fica suspenso de uma árvore e Joabe mata-o

9 E Absalão se encontrou com os servos de Davi; e Absalão ia montado num mulo; e; entrando o mulo debaixo da espessura dos ramos de um grande carvalho, pegou-se-lhe a cabeça no carvalho, e ficou pendurado entre o céu e a terra: e o mulo, que estava debaixo dele, passou adiante.

10 O que vendo um homem, o fez saber a Joabe, e disse: Eis que vi Absalão pendurado de um carvalho.

11 Então disse Joabe ao homem que lho fizera saber: Pois que o viste, por que o não feriste logo ali em terra? E forçoso seria eu dar-te dez moedas de prata e um cinto.

12 Disse porém aquele homem a Joabe: Ainda que eu pudesse pesar nas minhas mãos mil moedas de prata, não estenderia a minha mão contra o filho do rei, pois bem ouvimos que o rei te deu ordem a ti, e a Abisai, e a Itai, dizendo: Guardai-vos, cada um, de tocar no mancebo, em Absalão.

13 Ainda que proferisse mentira com risco da minha vida, nem por isso coisa nenhuma esconderia ao rei; e tu mesmo te oporias.

14 Então disse Joabe: Não me demorarei assim contigo aqui. E tomou três dardos , e transpassou com eles o coração de Absalão, estando ele ainda vivo no meio do carvalho.

15 E o cercaram dez mancebos que levavam as armas de Joabe. E feriram a Absalão e o mataram.

16 Então tocou Joabe a buzina, e voltou o povo de perseguir a Israel, porque Joabe deteve o povo.

17 E tomaram a Absalão, e o lançaram no bosque, numa grande cova, e levantaram sobre ele um mui grande montão de pedras: e todo Israel fugiu, cada um para sua tenda.

18 Ora Absalão, quando ainda vivia, tinha tomado e levantado para si uma coluna, que está no vale do rei, porque dizia: Filho nenhum tenho para conservar a memória do meu nome. E chamou aquela coluna pelo seu próprio nome; pelo que até o dia de hoje se chama o Pilar de Absalão.
