2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
E Jorão, filho de Acabe, começou a reinar em Samaria sobre Israel o ano dezoito de Josafá rei de Judá; e reinou doze anos.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, ainda que não como seu pai e sua mãe; porque tirou as estátuas de Baal que seu pai havia feito.
3 Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart therefrom.
Mas achegou-se aos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, que fez pecar a Israel; e não se separou deles.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master. And he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.
Então Messa rei de Moabe era proprietário de gados, e pagava ao rei de Israel cem mil cordeiros e cem mil carneiros com suas lãs.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Mas morto Acabe, o rei de Moabe se rebelou contra o rei de Israel.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
E saiu então de Samaria o rei Jorão, e inspecionou a todo Israel.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up. I am as thou are, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
E foi e enviou a dizer a Josafá rei de Judá: O rei de Moabe se há rebelado contra mim: irás tu comigo à guerra contra Moabe? E ele respondeu: Irei, porque como eu, assim tu; como meu povo, assim teu povo; como meus cavalos, assim também teus cavalos.
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
E disse: Por qual caminho iremos? E ele respondeu: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom. And they made a circuit of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army, nor for the beasts that followed them.
Partiram, pois, o rei de Israel, e o rei de Judá, e o rei de Edom; e quando andaram rodeando pelo deserto sete dias de caminho, faltou-lhes a água para o exército, e para os animais que os seguiam.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! For Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Então o rei de Israel disse: Ah! Que o SENHOR chamou estes três reis para entregá-los em mãos dos moabitas.
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
Mas Josafá disse: Não há aqui profeta do SENHOR, para que consultemos ao SENHOR por ele? E um dos servos do rei de Israel respondeu e disse: Aqui está Eliseu filho de Safate, que dava água a mãos a Elias.
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
E Josafá disse: Este terá palavra do SENHOR. E desceram a ele o rei de Israel, e Josafá, e o rei de Edom.
13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? Get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No, for Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Então Eliseu disse ao rei de Israel: Que tenho eu contigo? Vai aos profetas de teu pai, e aos profetas de tua mãe. E o rei de Israel lhe respondeu: Não; porque juntou o SENHOR estes três reis para entregá-los em mãos dos moabitas.
14 And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
E Eliseu disse: Vive o SENHOR dos exércitos, em cuja presença estou, que se não tivesse respeito ao rosto de Josafá rei de Judá, não olharia a ti, nem te veria.
15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him.
Mas agora trazei-me um músico. E enquanto o músico tocava, a mão do SENHOR foi sobre Eliseu.
16 And he said, Thus says Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.
E disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Fazei neste vale muitas covas.
17 For thus says Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.
Porque o SENHOR disse assim: Não vereis vento, nem vereis chuva, e este vale será cheio de água, e bebereis vós, e vossos animais, e vossos gados.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
E isto é coisa pouca aos olhos do SENHOR; dará também aos moabitas em vossas mãos.
19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
E vós ferireis a toda cidade fortalecida e a toda vila bela, e cortareis toda boa árvore, e cegareis todas as fontes de águas, e destruireis com pedras toda terra fértil.
20 And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
E aconteceu que pela manhã, quando se oferece o sacrifício, eis que vieram águas pelo caminho de Edom, e a terra foi cheia de águas.
21 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings came up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.
E todos os de Moabe, quando ouviram que os reis subiam a lutar contra eles, juntaram-se desde todos os que cingiam armas de guerra acima, e puseram-se na fronteira.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.
E quando se levantaram pela manhã, e luziu o sol sobre as águas, viram os de Moabe desde longe as águas vermelhas como sangue;
23 And they said, This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
E disseram: Sangue é este de espada! Os reis se revoltaram, e cada um matou a seu companheiro. Agora, pois, Moabe, à presa!
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
Mas quando chegaram ao campo de Israel, levantaram-se os israelitas e feriram aos de Moabe, os quais fugiram diante deles; seguiram, porém, ferindo aos de Moabe.
25 And they beat down the cities. And on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it. And they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth only they left the stones of it. However the slingers went about it, and smote it.
E assolaram as cidades, e em todas as propriedades férteis lançou cada um sua pedra, e as encheram; fecharam também todas as fontes das águas, e derrubaram todas as boas árvores; até que em Quir-Haresete somente deixaram suas pedras; porque os atiradores de funda a cercaram e a feriram.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too hard for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.
E quando o rei de Moabe viu que a batalha o vencia, tomou consigo setecentos homens que tiravam espada, para romper contra o rei de Edom, mas não conseguiram.
27 Then he took his eldest son who should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
Então arrebatou a seu primogênito que havia de reinar em seu lugar, e sacrificou-lhe em holocausto sobre o muro. E havia grande ira em Israel; e retiraram-se dele, e voltaram a sua terra.
