2 Samuel 1
Nova Bíblia Viva
1Depois da morte de Saul, Davi voltou a Ziclague após a vitória sobre os amalequitas.
2Três dias mais tarde, veio um homem do exército israelita com as roupas rasgadas e terra sobre a cabeça, como sinal de tristeza. Ele inclinou-se diante de Davi com o rosto no chão, como sinal de respeito.
3“De onde vem você?”, Davi perguntou. “Eu escapei do acampamento israelita”, o homem respondeu.
4“O que foi que aconteceu?”, Davi perguntou. “Diga-me como foi a batalha”. E o homem respondeu: “Todo o nosso exército fugiu. Muitos homens estão mortos e feridos no campo, e Saul e seu filho Jônatas foram mortos”.
5Então Davi perguntou ao homem que havia trazido a notícia: “Como é que você sabe que eles estão mortos?”
6“Porque eu estava no monte Gilboa e vi que Saul estava apoiado sobre sua lança, e os carros inimigos e seus cavaleiros estavam chegando cada vez mais perto dele, cercando-o por todos os lados.
7Quando ele me viu, chamou-me para junto dele, e eu disse: ‘Aqui estou, senhor!’ ”
8“Quem é você?”, ele perguntou. “Um amalequita”, respondi.
9“Venha cá e mate-me”, ele pediu, “pois estou numa terrível angústia de morte!”
10“Então eu me aproximei e o matei, porque sabia que ele não tinha condições de sobreviver. Depois tomei a sua coroa e uma das suas pulseiras para trazer aqui ao meu senhor”.
11Então Davi e seus homens rasgaram as suas vestes em sinal de tristeza quando ouviram a notícia.
12Eles lamentaram, choraram e jejuaram o dia todo por Saul e por seu filho Jônatas, pelo exército do Senhor e pelo povo do Senhor, que morreram naquele dia à espada.
13Em seguida, Davi perguntou ao jovem que havia trazido a notícia: “De onde é você?” E ele respondeu: “Sou filho de um estrangeiro, um amalequita”.
14“Por que você matou o rei escolhido do Senhor?”, perguntou Davi.
15Então Davi disse a um dos seus soldados: “Mate esse homem!” E o soldado atacou e matou o amalequita.
16Davi havia dito ao amalequita: “Você morre por sua própria condenação, pois você mesmo confessou que matou o rei escolhido do Senhor”.
17Davi chorou muito, e mais tarde escreveu um hino triste para Saul e Jônatas,
18e ordenou que o hino fosse ensinado aos homens de Judá. Este lamento está registrado no Livro de Jasar.
19“Ó Israel, o seu esplendor e alegria estão mortos sobre os montes; heróis poderosos caíram!
20Não contem essas notícias em Gate, nem anunciem nas ruas de Ascalom, para que não se alegrem as filhas dos filisteus, para que as nações que adoram deuses falsos não riam em triunfo.
21Ó montes de Gilboa, não caia orvalho nem chuva sobre vocês, nem haja plantação de cereais nas suas encostas. Pois ali os escudos dos guerreiros valentes foram profanados, bem como o escudo do poderoso Saul, que perdeu seu brilho.
22Do sangue dos feridos, da carne dos valentes o arco de Jônatas nunca recuou, e a espada de Saul nunca falhou. Eles nunca voltavam das batalhas com as mãos vazias.
23Como Saul e Jônatas eram amados e estimados! Eles estiveram juntos na vida e na morte. Eram mais velozes do que as águias, mais fortes do que os leões.
24Mas agora, ó filhas de Israel, chorem por Saul. Ele vestia vocês com finas roupas e ornamentos dourados.
25Esses poderosos heróis caíram no meio da batalha. Jônatas foi morto lá nas montanhas.
26Como eu choro por você, meu irmão Jônatas; Quanto eu o estimava! E o seu amor por mim era mais precioso do que o amor de mulheres!
27Os guerreiros valentes caíram! As suas armas foram destruídas”.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ACONTECIÓ después de la muerte de Saúl, que vuelto David de la derrota de los Amalecitas, estuvo dos días en Siclag:
2Y al tercer día acaeció, que vino uno del campo de Saúl, rotos sus vestidos, y tierra sobre su cabeza: y llegando á David, postróse en tierra, é hizo reverencia.
3Y preguntóle David: ¿De dónde vienes? Y él respondió: Heme escapado del campo de Israel.
4Y David le dijo: ¿Qué ha acontecido? ruégote que me lo digas. Y él respondió: El pueblo huyó de la batalla, y también muchos del pueblo cayeron y son muertos: también Saúl y Jonathán su hijo murieron.
5Y dijo David á aquel mancebo que le daba las nuevas: ¿Cómo sabes que Saúl es muerto, y Jonathán su hijo?
6Y el mancebo que le daba las nuevas respondió: Casualmente vine al monte de Gilboa, y hallé á Saúl que estaba recostado sobre su lanza, y venían tras él carros y gente de á caballo.
7Y como él miró atrás, vióme y llamóme; y yo dije: Heme aquí.
8Y él me dijo: ¿Quién eres tú? Y yo le respondí: Soy Amalecita.
9Y él me volvió á decir: Yo te ruego que te pongas sobre mí, y me mates, porque me toman angustias, y toda mi alma está aún en mí.
10Yo entonces púseme sobre él, y matélo, porque sabía que no podía vivir después de su caída: y tomé la corona que tenía en su cabeza, y la ajorca que traía en su brazo, y helas traído acá á mi señor.
11Entonces David trabando de sus vestidos, rompiólos; y lo mismo hicieron los hombres que estaban con él.
12Y lloraron y lamentaron, y ayunaron hasta la tarde, por Saúl y por Jonathán su hijo, y por el pueblo de Jehová, y por la casa de Israel: porque habían caído á cuchillo.
13Y David dijo á aquel mancebo que le había traído las nuevas: ¿De dónde eres tú? Y él respondió: Yo soy hijo de un extranjero, Amalecita.
14Y díjole David: ¿Cómo no tuviste temor de extender tu mano para matar al ungido de Jehová?
15Entonces llamó David uno de los mancebos, y díjole: Llega, y mátalo. Y él lo hirió, y murió.
16Y David le dijo: Tu sangre sea sobre tu cabeza, pues que tu boca atestiguó contra ti, diciendo: Yo maté al ungido de Jehová.
17Y endechó David á Saúl y á Jonathán su hijo con esta endecha.
18(Dijo también que enseñasen al arco á los hijos de Judá. He aquí que está escrito en el libro del derecho:)
19¡Perecido ha la gloria de Israel sobre tus montañas! ¡Cómo han caído los valientes!
20No lo denunciéis en Gath, no deis las nuevas en las plazas de Ascalón; porque no se alegren las hijas de los Filisteos, porque no salten de gozo las hijas de los incircuncisos.
21Montes de Gilboa, ni rocío ni lluvia caiga sobre vosotros, ni seáis tierras de ofrendas; porque allí fué desechado el escudo de los valientes, el escudo de Saúl, como si no hubiera sido ungido con aceite.
22Sin sangre de muertos, sin grosura de valientes, el arco de Jonathán nunca volvió, ni la espada de Saúl se tornó vacía.
23Saúl y Jonathán, amados y queridos en su vida, en su muerte tampoco fueron apartados: más ligeros que águilas, más fuertes que leones.
24Hijas de Israel, llorad sobre Saúl, que os vestía de escarlata en regocijos, que adornaba vuestras ropas con ornamentos de oro.
25¡Cómo han caído los valientes en medio de la batalla! ¡Jonathán, muerto en tus alturas!
26Angustia tengo por ti, hermano mío Jonathán, que me fuiste muy dulce: más maravilloso me fué tu amor, que el amor de las mujeres.
27¡Cómo han caído los valientes, y perecieron las armas de guerra!
King James Version
1Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
11Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?
15And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.
17And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
26I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

1After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
2on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.
3David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
4David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
5David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.
7When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
8He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
10So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
11Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.
12They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
14David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
15David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.
16David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”
17David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
18(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
19“Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
20Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.
23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
24You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.
26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.
27How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
