2 Kings 1
1 And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
E depois da morte de Achab, Moab se rebelou contra Israel.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick. And he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.
E caiu Achazias pelas grades dum quarto alto, que tinha em Samaria, e adoeceu: e enviou mensageiros, e disse-lhes: Ide, e perguntai a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron, se sararei desta doença.
3 But the agent of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
Mas o anjo do Senhor disse a Elias tesbita: Levanta-te, sobe para encontrar-te com os mensageiros do rei de Samaria: e dize-lhes: Porventura não há Deus em Israel, que vades consultar a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron?
4 Now therefore thus says Jehovah, Thou shall not come down from the bed where thou have gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.
E por isso assim diz o Senhor; Da cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas sem falta morrerás. Então Elias partiu.
5 And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why is it that ye are returned?
E os mensageiros voltaram para ele; e ele lhes disse: Que há, que voltastes?
6 And they said to him, There came up a man to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus says Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel that thou send to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore thou shall not come down from the bed where thou have gone up, but shall surely die.
E eles lhe disseram: Um homem nos saiu ao encontro, e nos disse: Ide, voltai para o rei que vos mandou, e dizei-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não há Deus em Israel, para que mandes consultar a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron? Portanto da cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas sem falta morrerás.
7 And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?
E ele lhes disse: Qual era o trajo do homem que vos veio ao encontro e vos falou estas palavras?
8 And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a belt of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
E eles lhe disseram: Um homem era vestido de pelos, e com os lombos cingidos dum cinto de couro. Então disse ele: É Elias, o tesbita.
9 Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him, and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spoke to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.
Então lhe enviou um capitão de cincoênta: e, subindo a ele, (porque eis que estava assentado no cume do monte), disse-lhe: Homem de Deus, o rei diz: Desce.
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Mas Elias respondeu, e disse ao capitão de cincoênta: Se eu pois sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e te consuma a ti e aos teus cincoênta. Então fogo desceu do céu, e o consumiu a ele e aos seus cincoênta.
11 And again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
E tornou a enviar-lhe outro capitão de cincoênta, com os seus cincoênta; este lhe falou, e disse: Homem de Deus, assim diz o rei: Desce depressa.
12 And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
E respondeu Elias, e disse-lhe: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e te consuma a ti e aos teus cincoênta. Então fogo de Deus desceu do céu, e o consumiu a ele e aos seus cincoênta.
13 And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
E tornou a enviar outro capitão dos terceiros cincoênta, com os seus cincoênta: então subiu o capitão de cincoênta, e veio, e pôs-se de joelhos diante de Elias, e suplicou-lhe, e disse-lhe: Homem de Deus, seja, peço-te, preciosa aos teus olhos a minha vida, e a vida destes cincoênta teus servos.
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties, but now let my life be precious in thy sight.
Eis que fogo desceu do céu, e consumiu aqueles dois primeiros capitães de cincoênta, com os seus cincoênta: porém agora seja preciosa aos teus olhos a minha vida.
15 And the agent of Jehovah said to Elijah, Go down with him; do not be afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
Então o anjo do Senhor disse a Elias: Desce com este, não temas. E levantou-se, e desceu com ele ao rei.
16 And he said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Inasmuch as thou have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore thou shall not come down from the bed where thou have gone up, but shall surely die.
E disse-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porque enviaste mensageiros a consultar a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron? Porventura é porque não há Deus em Israel, para consultar a sua palavra? portanto desta cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas certamente morrerás.
17 So he died according to the word of Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
Assim pois morreu, conforme à palavra do Senhor, que Elias falara; e Jorão começou a reinar no seu lugar no ano segundo de Jehorão, filho de Josaphat rei de Judá: porquanto não tinha filho.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
O mais dos feitos de Achazias, que tinha feito, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
