1 Kings 20
1 Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.
E Ben-hadad, rei da Syria, ajuntou todas as suas forças: e trinta e dois reis, e cavallos e carros havia com elle: e subiu, e cercou a Samaria, e pelejou contra ella.
2 And he sent representatives into the town to Ahab, king of Israel;
E enviou á cidade mensageiros, a Achab, rei de Israel.
3 And they said to him, Ben-hadad says, Your silver and your gold are mine; and your wives and children are mine.
E disse-lhe: Assim diz Ben-hadad: A tua prata e o teu oiro são meus; e tuas mulheres e os melhores de teus filhos são meus.
4 And the king of Israel sent him an answer saying, As you say, my lord king, I am yours with all I have.
E respondeu o rei de Israel, e disse: Conforme a tua palavra, ó rei meu senhor, teu sou eu, e tudo quanto tenho.
5 Then the representatives came back again, and said, These are the words of Ben-hadad: I sent to you saying, Give up to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children;
E tornaram a vir os mensageiros, e disseram: Assim falla Ben-hadad, dizendo: Ainda que eu te mandei dizer: Tu me has de dar a tua prata, e o teu oiro, e as tuas mulheres e os teus filhos;
6 But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, to make a search through your house and the houses of your people, and everything which is pleasing in your eyes they will take away in their hands.
Todavia ámanhã a estas horas enviarei os meus servos a ti, e esquadrinharão a tua casa, e as casas dos teus servos: e ha de ser que tudo o que fôr aprazivel aos teus olhos o metterão nas suas mãos, e o levarão.
7 Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said, Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man: he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.
Então o rei de Israel chamou a todos os anciãos da terra, e disse: Notae agora, e vêde como este busca mal; pois enviara a mim por minhas mulheres, e por meus filhos, e pela minha prata, e pelo meu oiro, e não lh'o neguei.
8 And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says.
E todos os anciãos e todo o povo lhe disseram: Não lhe dês ouvidos, nem consintas.
9 So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.
Pelo que disse aos mensageiros de Ben-hadad: Dizei ao rei, meu senhor: Tudo o que primeiro mandaste pedir a teu servo, farei, porém isto não posso fazer. E foram os mensageiros, e lhe tornaram a dar esta resposta.
10 Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.
E Ben-hadad enviou a elle, e disse: Assim me façam os deuses, e outro tanto, que o pó de Samaria não bastará para encher as mãos de todo o povo que me segue.
11 And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.
Porém o rei de Israel respondeu, e disse: Dizei-lhe: Não se gabe quem se cinge, como aquelle que se descinge.
12 Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions. So they put themselves in position for attacking the town.
E succedeu que, ouvindo elle esta palavra, estando bebendo elle e os reis nas tendas, disse aos seus servos: Ponde-vos em ordem contra a cidade.
13 Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.
E eis que um propheta se chegou a Achab rei de Israel, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Viste toda esta grande multidão? eis que hoje t'a entregarei nas tuas mãos, para que saibas que eu sou o Senhor.
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, The Lord says, By the servants of the chiefs who are over the divisions of the land. Then he said, By whom is the fighting to be started? And he made answer, By you.
E disse Achab: Por quem? E elle disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Pelos moços dos principes das provincias. E disse: Quem começará a peleja? E disse: Tu
15 Then he got together the servants of all the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land, two hundred and thirty-two of them; and after them, he got together all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.
Então contou os moços dos principes das provincias, e foram duzentos e trinta e dois: e depois d'elles contou a todo o povo, todos os filhos de Israel, sete mil.
16 And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.
E sairam ao meio dia: e Ben-hadad estava bebendo e embriagando-se nas tendas, elle e os reis, os trinta e dois reis, que o ajudavam.
17 And the servants of the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land went forward first; and when Ben-hadad sent out, they gave him the news, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.
E os moços dos principes das provincias sairam primeiro: e Ben-hadad enviou a alguns, que lhe deram avisos, dizendo: Sairam de Samaria uns homens.
18 And he said, If they have come out for peace, take them living, and if they have come out for war, take them living.
E elle disse: Ainda que para paz saissem, tomae-os vivos: e ainda que á peleja saissem, vivos os tomae.
19 So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them.
Sairam pois da cidade os moços dos principes das provincias, e o exercito que os seguia.
20 And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.
E elles feriram cada um o seu homem, e os syros fugiram, e Israel os perseguiu: porém Ben-hadad, rei da Syria, escapou a cavallo, com alguns cavalleiros.
21 And the king of Israel went out and took the horses and the war-carriages, and made great destruction among the Aramaeans.
E saiu o rei de Israel, e feriu os cavallos e os carros: e feriu os syros com grande estrago.
22 Then the prophet came up to the king of Israel, and said to him, Now make yourself strong, and take care what you do, or a year from now the king of Aram will come up against you again.
Então o propheta chegou-se ao rei de Israel e lhe disse: Vae, esforça-te, e attenta, e olha o que has de fazer; porque no decurso d'um anno o rei da Syria subirá contra ti
23 Then the king of Aram's servants said to him, Their god is a god of the hills; that is why they were stronger than we: but if we make an attack on them in the lowlands, we will certainly be stronger than they.
Porque os servos do rei da Syria lhe disseram: Seus deuses são deuses dos montes, por isso foram mais fortes do que nós: mas pelejemos com elles em campo raso, e por certo, veremos, se não somos mais fortes do que elles!
24 This is what you have to do: take away the kings from their positions, and put captains in their places;
Faze pois isto: tira os reis, cada um do seu logar, e põe capitães em seu logar.
25 And get together another army like the one which came to destruction, horse for horse, and carriage for carriage; and let us make war on them in the lowlands, and certainly we will be stronger than they. And he gave ear to what they said, and did so.
E numera outro exercito, como o exercito que caiu de ti, e cavallos como aquelles cavallos, e carros como aquelles carros, e pelejemos com elles em campo raso, e veremos se não somos mais fortes do que elles! E deu ouvidos á sua voz, e assim fez.
26 So, a year later, Ben-hadad got the Aramaeans together and went up to Aphek to make war on Israel.
E succedeu que, passado um anno, Ben-hadad fez revista dos syros, e subiu a Afek, para pelejar contra Israel.
27 And the children of Israel got themselves together, and food was made ready and they went against them; the tents of the children of Israel were like two little flocks of goats before them, but all the country was full of the Aramaeans.
Tambem dos filhos d'Israel se fez revista, e providos de viveres marcharam contra elles; e os filhos de Israel acamparam-se defronte d'elles, como dois pequenos rebanhos de cabras; mas os syros enchiam a terra.
28 And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.
E chegou o homem de Deus, e fallou ao rei de Israel, e disse: Assim diz o Senhor; Porquanto os syros disseram: O Senhor é Deus dos montes, e não Deus dos valles: toda esta grande multidão entregarei nas tuas mãos: para que saibas que eu sou o Senhor.
29 Now the two armies kept their positions facing one another for seven days. And on the seventh day the fight was started; and the children of Israel put to the sword a hundred thousand Aramaean footmen in one day.
E sete dias estiveram estes acampados defronte dos outros: e succedeu ao setimo dia que a peleja começou, e os filhos de Israel feriram dos syros cem mil homens de pé, n'um dia.
30 But the rest went in flight to Aphek, into the town, where a wall came down on the twenty-seven thousand who were still living. And Ben-hadad went in flight into the town, into an inner room.
E os restantes fugiram a Afek, á cidade; e caiu o muro sobre vinte e sete mil homens, que restaram: Ben-hadad porém fugiu, e veiu á cidade, andando de camara em camara.
31 Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.
Então lhe disseram os seus servos: Eis que já temos ouvido que os reis da casa de Israel são reis clementes: ponhamos pois saccos aos lombos, e cordas ás cabeças, e saiamos ao rei de Israel; pode ser que guarde em vida a tua alma
32 So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.
Então cingiram saccos aos lombos e cordas ás cabeças, e vieram ao rei de Israel, e disseram: Diz o teu servo Ben-hadad: Deixa-me viver. E disse elle: Pois ainda vive? é meu irmão.
33 Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.
E aquelles homens tomaram isto por bom presagio, e apressaram-se em apanhar a sua palavra, e disseram: Teu irmão Ben-hadad vive. E elle disse: Vinde, trazei-m'o. Então Ben-hadad saiu a elle, e elle o fez subir ao carro.
34 And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement with him and let him go.
E disse elle: As cidades que meu pae tomou de teu pae t'as restituirei, e faze para ti ruas em Damasco, como meu pae as fez em Samaria. E eu, respondeu Achab, te deixarei ir com esta alliança. E fez com elle alliança e o deixou ir.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Give me a wound. But the man would not.
Então um dos homens dos filhos dos prophetas disse ao seu companheiro, pela palavra do Senhor: Ora fere-me. E o homem recusou feril-o.
36 Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death. And when he had gone, straight away a lion came rushing at him and put him to death.
E elle lhe disse: Porque não obedeceste á voz do Senhor, eis que, em te apartando de mim, um leão te ferirá. E, como d'elle se apartou, um leão o encontrou e o feriu.
37 Then he came across another man, and said, Give me a wound. And the man gave him a blow wounding him.
Depois encontrou outro homem, e disse-lhe: Ora fere-me. E feriu-o aquelle homem, ferindo-o e vulnerando-o.
38 So the prophet went away, and pulling his head-band over his eyes to keep his face covered, took his place by the road waiting for the king.
Então foi o propheta, e poz-se perante o rei no caminho: e disfarçou-se com cinza sobre os seus olhos.
39 And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.
E succedeu que, passando o rei, clamou elle ao rei, e disse: Teu servo saiu ao meio da peleja, e eis que, desviando-se um homem, me trouxe outro homem, e disse: Guarda-me este homem; se vier a faltar, será a tua vida em logar da vida d'elle, ou pagarás um talento de prata.
40 But while your servant was turning this way and that, he was gone. Then the king of Israel said to him, You are responsible; you have given the decision against yourself.
Succedeu pois que, estando o teu servo occupado d'uma e d'outra parte, entretanto desappareceu. Então o rei de Israel lhe disse: Esta é a tua sentença; tu mesmo a pronunciaste.
41 Then he quickly took the head-band from his eyes; and the king of Israel saw that he was one of the prophets.
Então elle se apressou, e tirou a cinza de sobre os seus olhos: e o rei de Israel o reconheceu, que era um dos prophetas.
42 And he said to him, These are the words of the Lord: Because you have let go from your hands the man whom I had put to the curse, your life will be taken for his life, and your people for his people.
E disse-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porquanto soltaste da mão o homem que eu havia posto para destruição, a tua vida será em logar da sua vida, e o teu povo em logar do seu povo.
43 Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.
E foi-se o rei de Israel a sua casa, desgostoso e indignado: e veiu a Samaria.
