Kings III 21
1 And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
E sucedeu depois destas coisas, tendo Naboth, o jezreelita uma vinha, que em Jezreel estava junto ao palácio de Achab, rei de Samaria,
2 And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
Que Achab falou a Naboth, dizendo: Dá-me a tua vinha, para que me sirva de horta pois está vizinha ao pé da minha casa; e te darei por ela outra vinha melhor do que ela: ou, se parece bem aos teus olhos, dar-te-ei a sua valia em dinheiro.
3 And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
Porém Naboth disse a Achab: Guarde-me o Senhor de que eu te dê a herança de meus pais.
4 And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
Então Achab veio desgostoso e indignado à sua casa, por causa da palavra que Naboth, o jezreelita, lhe falara, dizendo: Não te darei a herança de meus pais. E deitou-se na sua cama, e voltou o rosto, e não comeu pão.
5 and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
Porém, vindo a ele Jezabel, sua mulher, lhe disse: Que há, que está tão desgostoso o teu espírito, e não comes pão
6 struck each one the man next to him; and each one a second time struck the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
E ele lhe disse: Porque falei a Naboth, o jezreelita, e lhe disse: Dá-me a tua vinha por dinheiro; ou, se te apraz, te darei outra vinha em seu lugar. Porém ele disse: Não te darei a minha vinha.
7 And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and struck [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
Então Jezabel, sua mulher lhe disse: Governas tu agora no reino de Israel? levanta-te, come pão, e alegre-se o teu coração: eu te darei a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita.
8 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen yourself, and observe, and see what you shall do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against you.
Então escreveu cartas em nome de Achab, e as selou com o seu sinete; e mandou as cartas aos anciãos e aos nobres que havia na sua cidade e habitavam com Naboth.
9 And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
E escreveu nas cartas, dizendo: apregoai um jejum, e ponde a Naboth acima do povo.
10 And do you this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
E ponde defronte dele dois homens, filhos de Belial, que testemunhem contra ele, dizendo: blasfemaste contra Deus e contra o rei: e trazei-o fora, e apedrejai-o para que morra.
11 And we will give you [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he listened to their voice, and did so.
E os homens da sua cidade, os anciãos e os nobres que habitavam na sua cidade, fizeram como Jezabel lhes ordenara, conforme estava escrito nas cartas que lhes mandara.
12 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
Apregoaram um jejum, e puseram a Naboth acima do povo.
13 And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
Então vieram dois homens, filhos de Belial, e puseram-se defronte dele; e os homens, filhos de Belial, testemunharam contra ele, contra Naboth, perante o povo, dizendo: Naboth blasfemou contra Deus e contra o rei. E o levaram para fora da cidade, e o apedrejaram com pedras, e morreu.
14 And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus says the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into your hand, and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
Então enviaram a Jezabel, dizendo: Naboth foi apedrejado, e morreu.
15 And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel struck Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo Jezabel que já fôra apedrejado Naboth, e morrera, disse Jezabel a Achab: Levanta-te, e possui a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita, a qual te recusou dar por dinheiro; porque Naboth não vive, mas é morto.
16 And the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo Achab, que já Naboth era morto, Achab se levantou, para descer para a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita, para a possuir.
17 And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Elias, o tesbita, dizendo:
18 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Your servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray you. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
Levanta-te, desce para encontrar-te com Achab, rei de Israel, que está em Samaria: eis que está na vinha de Naboth, aonde tem descido para a possuir.
19 And the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Your brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go you in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
E falar-lhe-ás, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não mataste e tomaste a herança? falar-lhe-ás mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: No lugar em que os cães lamberam o sangue de Naboth os cães lamberão o teu sangue, o teu mesmo.
20 And he said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore to you; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let you go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
E disse Achab a Elias: Já me achaste, inimigo meu? E ele disse: Achei-te; porquanto já te vendeste para fazeres o que é mau aos olhos do Senhor.
21 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the Lord, Strike me, I pray, And the man would not strike him.
Eis que trarei mal sobre ti, e arrancarei a tua posteridade, e arrancarei de Achab a todo o homem, como também o encerrado e o desamparado em Israel;
22 And he said to him, Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as you depart from me, a lion shall strike you: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and struck him.
E farei a tua casa como a casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, e como a casa de Baása, filho de Ahias: por causa da provocação, com que me provocaste e fizeste pecar a Israel.
23 And he finds another man, and says, Strike me, I pray you. And the man struck him, and in striking wounded [him].
E também acerca de Jezabel falou o Senhor, dizendo: Os cães comerão a Jezabel junto ao antemuro de Jezreel.
24 And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
Aquele que de Achab morrer na cidade os cães o comerão: e o que morrer no campo as aves do céu o comerão.
25 And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Your servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then your life shall go for his life, or you shall pay a talent of silver.
Porém ninguém fôra como Achab, que se vendera para fazer o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor: porque Jezabel, sua mulher, o incitava.
26 And it came to pass, that your servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, you have also destroyed snares [set] for me.
E fez grandes abominações, seguindo os ídolos, conforme a tudo o que fizeram os amorreus, os quais o Senhor lançou fora da sua possessão, de diante dos filhos de Israel.
27 And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
Sucedeu pois que Achab, ouvindo estas palavras, rasgou os seus vestidos, e cobriu a sua carne de saco, e jejuou: e jazia em saco, e andava mansamente.
28 And he said to him, Thus says the Lord, Because you have suffered to escape out of your hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Elias tesbita, dizendo:
29 And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
Não viste que Achab se humilha perante mim? porquanto pois se humilha perante mim, não trarei este mal nos seus dias, mas nos dias de seu filho trarei este mal sobre a sua casa.
