Vidas dos Profetas 1

1Natã, o profeta, viveu nos dias de Davi, da tribo de Toc.

1Nathan the prophet lived in the days of David, of the tribe of Thok.

2Era de Gabat, e foi ele quem ensinou a Davi a lei do Senhor.

2He was from Gabath, and he it was who taught David the law of the Lord.

3E Natã soube que o rei Davi havia transgredido no caso de Bate-Seba.

3And Nathan knew that King David had transgressed in the matter of Bathsheba.

4E quando se apressava a vir de Gabat a Jerusalém e a impedir Davi desta iniquidade, Belial o impediu; pois no caminho encontrou um morto jazendo nu e ficou ali para sepultá-lo, para que não fosse devorado por feras.

4And as he hastened to come from Gabath to Jerusalem and to restrain David from this lawlessness, Belial hindered him; for on the way he found a dead man lying naked, and he remained to bury him there, lest he be devoured by wild beasts.

5E naquela noite soube que Davi havia cometido o pecado, e voltou, em pranto, a Gabat.

5And that night he knew that David had committed the sin, and he turned back, mourning, to Gabath.

6E quando Davi matou Urias, marido de Bate-Seba, Deus enviou Natã, e ele repreendeu Davi pelo seu pecado.

6And when David had slain Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba, God sent Nathan, and he rebuked David for his sin.

7E Davi temeu o Senhor, porque foi convencido do que fizera; e Davi soube que o santo espírito de Deus estava sobre Natã, o profeta, e o honrou como santo homem de Deus.

7And David feared the Lord because he was convicted of what he had done; and David knew that the holy spirit of God was upon Nathan the prophet, and he honored him as a holy man of God.

8E o próprio Natã, tendo envelhecido muito, morreu e foi sepultado em Gabat, na sua terra.

8And Nathan himself, having grown very old, died, and was buried in Gabath in his own land.
