1 Kings 21
1 And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
Passados estes negócios, aconteceu que Nabote de Jezreel tinha em Jezreel uma vinha junto ao palácio de Acabe rei de Samaria.
2 Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
E Acabe falou a Nabote, dizendo: Dá-me tua vinha para uma horta de legumes, porque está próxima, junto a minha casa, e eu te darei por ela outra vinha melhor que esta; ou se melhor te parecer, te pagarei seu valor em dinheiro.
3 Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
E Nabote respondeu a Acabe: Guarde-me o SENHOR de que eu te dê a ti a propriedade de meus pais.
4 Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
E veio Acabe à sua casa triste e irritado, pela palavra que Nabote de Jezreel havia lhe respondido, dizendo: Não te darei a propriedade de meus pais. E deitou-se em sua cama, e virou seu rosto, e não comeu pão.
5 Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
E veio a ele sua mulher Jezabel, e disse-lhe: Por que está tão triste teu espírito, e não comes pão?
6 And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’”
E ele respondeu: Porque falei com Nabote de Jezreel, e disse-lhe que me desse sua vinha por dinheiro, ou que, se mais quisesse, eu lhe daria outra vinha por ela; e ele respondeu: Eu não te darei minha vinha.
7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
E sua mulher Jezabel lhe disse: És tu agora rei sobre Israel? Levanta-te, e come pão, e alegra-te: eu te darei a vinha de Nabote de Jezreel.
8 And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
Então ela escreveu cartas em nome de Acabe, e selou-as com seu anel e enviou-as aos anciãos e aos principais que moravam em sua cidade com Nabote.
9 And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
E as cartas que escreveu diziam assim: Proclamai jejum, e ponde a Nabote em posição de destaque do povo;
10 And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”
E ponde dois homens perversos diante dele, que testemunhem contra ele, e digam: Tu blasfemaste a Deus e ao rei. E então o tirai, e apedrejai-o, e morra.
11 Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
E os de sua cidade, os anciãos e os principais que moravam em sua cidade, o fizeram como Jezabel lhes mandou, conforme o escrito nas cartas que ela lhes havia enviado.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
E promulgaram jejum, e assentaram a Nabote em posição de destaque do povo.
13 And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.
Vieram então dois homens perversos, e sentaram-se diante dele: e aqueles homens de Belial testemunharam contra Nabote diante do povo, dizendo: Nabote blasfemou a Deus e ao rei. E tiraram-no fora da cidade, e apedrejaram-no com pedras, e morreu.
14 And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”
Depois enviaram a dizer a Jezabel: Nabote foi apedrejado e morto.
15 Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
E quando Jezabel ouviu que Nabote havia sido apedrejado e morto, disse a Acabe: Levanta-te e possui a vinha de Nabote de Jezreel, que não te a quis dar por dinheiro; porque Nabote não vive, mas sim que está morto.
16 And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.
E ouvindo Acabe que Nabote era morto, levantou-se para descer à vinha de Nabote de Jezreel, para tomar possessão dela.
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Elias Tisbita, dizendo:
18 “Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
Levanta-te, desce a encontrar-te com Acabe rei de Israel, que está em Samaria: eis que ele está na vinha de Nabote, à qual desceu para tomar possessão dela.
19 And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’”
E falar-lhe hás, dizendo: Assim disse o SENHOR: Não mataste e também possuíste? E voltarás a falar-lhe, dizendo: Assim disse o SENHOR: No mesmo lugar de onde lamberam os cães o sangue de Nabote, os cães lamberão também teu sangue, o teu mesmo.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
E Acabe disse a Elias: Achaste-me, inimigo meu? E ele respondeu: Eu te encontrei, porque te vendeste a fazer o mal diante do SENHOR.
21 ‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
Eis que eu trago mal sobre ti, e varrerei tua posteridade, e exterminarei de Acabe todo macho, ao escravo e ao livre em Israel:
22 And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
E eu porei tua casa como a casa de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, e como a casa de Baasa filho de Aías; pela provocação com que me provocaste à ira, e com que fizeste pecar a Israel.
23 And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
De Jezabel também falou o SENHOR, dizendo: Os cães comerão a Jezabel no muro de Jezreel.
24 If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’”
O que de Acabe for morto na cidade, cães lhe comerão: e o que for morto no campo, comê-lo-ão as aves do céu.
25 And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
(À verdade ninguém foi como Acabe, que se vendeu a fazer o mal aos olhos do SENHOR; porque Jezabel sua mulher o incitava.
26 And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
Ele foi em grande maneira abominável, caminhando após o os ídolos, conforme a tudo o que fizeram os amorreus, aos quais lançou o SENHOR diante dos filhos de Israel.)
27 Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
E aconteceu quando Acabe ouviu estas palavras, que rasgou suas roupas, e pôs saco sobre sua carne, e jejuou, e dormiu em saco, e andou humilhado.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Elias Tisbita, dizendo:
29 “Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”
Não viste como Acabe se humilhou diante de mim? Pois porquanto se humilhou diante de mim, não trarei o mal em seus dias: nos dias de seu filho trarei o mal sobre sua casa.
