2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; and he was king for 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 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which 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 But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.
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-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.
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 when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.
Mas morto Acabe, o rei de Moabe se rebelou contra o rei de Israel.
6 At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.
E saiu então de Samaria o rei Jorão, e inspecionou a todo Israel.
7 And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your 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 are we to go? And he said in answer, By the waste land of Edom.
E disse: Por qual caminho iremos? E ele respondeu: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with 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, Here is trouble: for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them into the hands 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 no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to 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 the Lord 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 But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands 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 Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.
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, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.
Mas agora trazei-me um músico. E enquanto o músico tocava, a mão do SENHOR foi sobre Eliseu.
16 And he said, The Lord says, I will make this valley full of water-holes.
E disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Fazei neste vale muitas covas.
17 For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink.
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 will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.
E isto é coisa pouca aos olhos do SENHOR; dará também aos moabitas em vossas mãos.
19 And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough 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 Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made, they saw water flowing from the direction of Edom till the country was full of 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 all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.
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 early in the morning they got up, when the sun was shining on the water, and they saw the water facing 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 Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.
E disseram: Sangue é este de espada! Os reis se revoltaram, e cada um matou a seu companheiro. Agora, pois, Moabe, à presa!
24 But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;
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 Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on 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 fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.
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 oldest son, who would have been king after him, offering him as a burned offering on the wall. So there was great wrath against Israel; and they went away from him, back to their country.
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.
