Kings IV 3
1 And Joram the son of Achaab began to reign in Israel in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned twelve years.
E Jorão, filho de Achab, começou a reinar sobre Israel em Samaria no décimo oitavo ano de Josaphat, rei de Judá: e reinou doze anos.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, only not as his father, nor as his mother: and he removed the pillars of Baal which his father had made.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor; porém não como seu pai, nem como sua mãe; porque tirou a estátua de Baal, que seu pai fizera.
3 Only he adhered to the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
Contudo aderiu aos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fizera pecar a Israel; não se apartou deles.
4 And Mosa king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel in the beginning [of the year], a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Então Mesa, rei dos moabitas, era contratante de gado, e pagava ao rei de Israel cem mil cordeiros, e cem mil carneiros com a sua lã.
5 And it came to pass, after the death of Achaab, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Sucedeu porém que, morrendo Achab, se rebelou o rei dos moabitas contra o rei de Israel.
6 And king Joram went forth in that day out of Samaria, and numbered Israel.
Por isso Jorão ao mesmo tempo saiu de Samaria, e fez revista de todo o Israel.
7 And he went and sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to war? And he said, I will go up: you are as I, I am as you; as my people, so [is] your people, as my horses, so [are] your horses.
E foi, e enviou a Josaphat, rei de Judá, dizendo: O rei dos moabitas se rebelou contra mim; irás tu comigo à guerra contra os moabitas? E disse ele: Subirei; e eu serei como tu, o meu povo como o teu povo, e os meus cavalos como os teus cavalos.
8 And he said, What way shall I go up? and he said, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
E ele disse: Por que caminho subiremos? Então disse ele: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.
9 And the king of Israel went, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey; and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that went with them.
E partiu o rei de Israel, e o rei de Judá, e o rei de Edom; e andaram rodeando com uma marcha de sete dias, e o exército, e o gado que os seguia não tinham água.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the Lord should have called the three kings on their way, to give them into the hand of Moab.
Então disse o rei de Israel: Ah! que o Senhor chamou a estes três reis, para os entregar nas mãos dos moabitas.
11 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, [There is] here Elisaie son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Eliu.
E disse Josaphat: Não há aqui algum profeta do Senhor, para que consultemos ao Senhor por ele? Então respondeu um dos servos do rei de Israel, e disse: Aqui está Eliseo, filho de Saphat, que deitava água sobre as mãos de Elias.
12 And Josaphat said, He has the word of the Lord. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom, went down to him.
E disse Josaphat: Está com ele a palavra do Senhor. Então o rei de Israel, e Josaphat e o rei de Edom desceram a ele.
13 And Elisaie said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father, and the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Has the Lord called the three kings to deliver them into the hands of Moab?
Mas Eliseo disse ao rei de Israel: Que tenho eu contigo? vai aos profetas de teu pai e aos profetas de tua mãe. Porém o rei de Israel lhe disse: Não, porque o Senhor chamou a estes três reis para os entregar nas mãos dos moabitas.
14 And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord of hosts before whom I stand lives, unless I regarded the presence of Josaphat the king of Juda, I would not have looked on you, nor seen you.
E disse Eliseo: Vive o Senhor dos exércitos, em cuja presença estou, que se eu não respeitasse a presença de Josaphat, rei de Judá, não olharia para ti nem te veria.
15 And now fetch me a harper. And it came to pass, as the harper harped, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.
Ora, pois, trazei-me um tangedor. E sucedeu que, tangendo o tangedor, veio sobre ele a mão do Senhor.
16 And he said, Thus says the Lord, Make this valley full of trenches.
E disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Fazei neste vale muitas covas;
17 For thus says the Lord, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain, yet this valley shall be filled with water, and you, and your flocks, and your cattle shall drink.
Porque assim diz o Senhor: Não vereis vento, e não vereis chuva; todavia este vale se encherá de tanta água, que bebereis vós, e o vosso gado e os vossos animais.
18 And this [is] a light [thing] in the eyes of the Lord: I will also deliver Moab into your hand.
E ainda isto é pouco aos olhos do Senhor: também entregará ele os moabitas nas vossas mãos.
19 And you shall strike every strong city, and you shall cut down every good tree, and you shall stop all wells of water, and spoil every good piece [of land] with stones.
E ferireis a todas as cidades fortes, e a todas as cidades escolhidas, e todas as boas árvores cortareis, e entupireis todas as fontes d'água, e danificareis com pedras todos os bons campos.
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifice was offered, that, behold! waters came from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.
E sucedeu que pela manhã, oferecendo-se a oferta de manjares, eis que vinham as águas pelo caminho de Edom: e a terra se encheu d'água.
21 And all Moab heard that the three kings were come up to fight against them; and they cried out on every [side, even] all that were girded with a girdle, and they said, Ho! and stood upon the border.
Ouvindo pois todos os moabitas que os reis tinham subido para pelejarem contra eles, convocaram a todos os que cingiam cinto e daí para cima, e puseram-se às fronteiras.
22 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the waters, and Moab saw the waters on the opposite side red as blood.
E, levantando-se de madrugada, e saindo o sol sobre as águas, viram os moabitas defronte deles as águas vermelhas como o sangue.
23 And they said, This [is] the blood of the sword; and the kings have fought, and each man has struck his neighbor; now then to the spoils, Moab.
E disseram: Isto é sangue; certamente que os reis se destruiram à espada e se mataram um ao outro! agora pois à preza, moabitas!
24 And they entered into the camp of Israel; and Israel arose and struck Moab, and they fled from before them; and they went on and struck Moab as they went.
Porém, chegando eles ao arraial de Israel, os israelitas se levantaram, e feriram os moabitas, os quais fugiram diante deles: e ainda os feriram nas suas terras, ferindo ali também os moabitas.
25 And they razed the cities, and cast every man his stone on every good piece [of land] and filled it; and they stopped every well, and cut down every good tree, until they left [only] the stones of the wall cast down; and the slingers compassed [the land], and struck it.
E arrazaram as cidades, e cada um lançou a sua pedra em todos os bons campos, e os entulharam, e entupiram todas as fontes de águas, e cortaram todas as boas árvores, até que só em Kir-Hareseth deixaram ficar as pedras, mas os fundeiros a cercaram e a feriram.
26 And the king of Moab saw that the battle prevailed against him; and he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to cut through to the king of Edom: and they could not.
Mas, vendo o rei dos moabitas que a peleja prevalecia contra ele, tomou consigo setecentos homens que arrancavam espada, para romperem contra o rei de Edom, porém não puderam.
27 And he took his oldest son whom he had designed to reign in his stead, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering on the walls. And there was a great indignation against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their land.
Então tomou a seu filho primogênito, que havia de reinar em seu lugar, e o ofereceu em holocausto sobre o muro; pelo que houve grande indignação em Israel: por isso retiraram-se dele, e voltaram para a sua terra.
