2 Kings 18
1 Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
E succedeu que, no terceiro anno de Hoseas, filho de Ela, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Ezequias, filho de Achaz, rei de Judah.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
Tinha vinte e cinco annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e vinte e nove annos reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Abi, filha de Zacharias.
3 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizera David, seu pae.
4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
Este tirou os altos, e quebrou as estatuas, e deitou abaixo os bosques, e fez em pedaços a serpente de metal que Moysés fizera; porquanto até áquelle dia os filhos d'Israel lhe queimavam incenso, e lhe chamaram Nehustan.
5 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
No Senhor Deus d'Israel confiou, de maneira que depois d'elle não houve seu similhante entre todos os reis de Judah, nem entre os que foram antes d'elle.
6 For he joined with the LORD; he did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
Porque se chegou ao Senhor, não se apartou de após elle, e guardou os mandamentos que o Senhor tinha dado a Moysés.
7 The LORD was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.
Assim foi o Senhor com elle; para onde quer que saiu se conduzia com prudencia: e se rebellou contra o rei da Assyria, e não o serviu.
8 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Elle feriu os philisteos até Gaza, como tambem os termos d'ella, desde a torre dos atalaias até á cidade forte.
9 It happened in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
E succedeu, no quarto anno do rei Ezequias (que era o setimo anno de Hoseas, filho de Ela, rei d'Israel), que Salmanasar, rei d'Assyria, subiu contra Samaria, e a cercou.
10 At the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
E a tomaram ao fim de tres annos, no anno sexto d'Ezequias, que era o anno nono de Hoseas, rei d'Israel, quando tomaram Samaria.
11 The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
E o rei d'Assyria transportou a Israel para a Assyria: e os fez levar a Halah e a Habor, junto ao rio de Gozan, e ás cidades dos medos;
12 because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
Porquanto não obedeceram á voz do Senhor seu Deus, antes traspassaram o seu concerto; e tudo quanto Moysés, servo do Senhor, tinha ordenado, nem o ouviram nem o fizeram.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Porém no anno decimo quarto do rei Ezequias subiu Sanherib, rei d'Assyria, contra todas as cidades fortes de Judah, e as tomou.
14 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, "I have offended; return from me. That which you put on me, I will bear." The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Então Ezequias, rei de Judah, enviou ao rei d'Assyria, a Lachis, dizendo: Pequei; torna-te de mim; tudo o que me impozeres levarei. Então o rei d'Assyria impoz a Ezequias, rei de Judah, trezentos talentos de prata e trinta talentos de oiro.
15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Assim deu Ezequias toda a prata que se achou na casa do Senhor e nos thesouros da casa do rei.
16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD's temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
N'aquelle tempo cortou Ezequias o oiro das portas do templo do Senhor, e das hombreiras, de que Ezequias, rei de Judah, as cobrira, e o deu ao rei d'Assyria.
17 The king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the Launderers' Field.
Comtudo enviou o rei d'Assyria a Tartan, e a Rabsaris, e a Rabsaké, de Lachis, com um grande exercito ao rei Ezequias, a Jerusalem: e subiram, e vieram a Jerusalem; e, subindo e vindo elle, pararam ao pé do aqueducto da piscina superior, que está junto ao caminho do campo do lavandeiro.
18 When they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
E chamaram o rei, e saiu a elles Eliakim, filho de Hilkias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joah, filho d'Asaph, o chanceler.
19 Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What confidence is this in which you trust?
E Rabsaké lhes disse: Ora dizei a Ezequias: Assim diz o grande rei, o rei d'Assyria: Que confiança é esta em que confias?
20 Do you think that empty words are strategy and power for war? Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
Dizes tu (porém palavra de beiços é): Ha conselho e poder para a guerra. Em quem pois agora confias, que contra mim te rebellas?
21 Now, look, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
Eis que agora tu confias n'aquelle bordão de cana quebrada, no Egypto, no qual, se alguem se encostar, entrar-lhe-ha pela mão e lh'a furará: assim é Pharaó, rei do Egypto, para com todos os que n'elle confiam.
22 But if you tell me, 'We trust in the LORD our God;' isn't that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?'
Se porém me disserdes: No Senhor nosso Deus confiamos: porventura não é este aquelle cujos altos e cujos altares Ezequias tirou, e disse a Judah e a Jerusalem: Perante este altar vos inclinareis em Jerusalem?
23 Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
Ora pois dá agora refens ao meu senhor, o rei da Assyria, e dar-te-hei dois mil cavallos, se tu poderes dar cavalleiros para elles.
24 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Como pois farias virar o rosto d'um só principe dos menores servos de meu senhor? Porém tu confias no Egypto, por causa dos carros e cavalleiros.
25 Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, 'Go up against this land, and destroy it.'"'"
Agora pois subi eu porventura sem o Senhor contra este logar, para o destruir? O Senhor me disse: Sobe contra esta terra, e destroe-a.
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in the Aramaic language; for we understand it. Do not speak with us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
Então disse Eliakim, filho de Hilkias, e Sebna, e Joah, a Rabsaké: Rogamos-te que falles aos teus servos em syriaco; porque bem o entendemos; e não nos falles em judaico, aos ouvidos do povo que está em cima do muro.
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, "Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?"
Porém Rabsaké lhes disse: Porventura mandou-me meu senhor só a teu senhor e a ti, para fallar estas palavras? e não antes aos homens, que estão sentados em cima do muro, para que juntamente comvosco comam o seu esterco e bebam a sua urina?
28 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Rabsaké pois se poz em pé, e clamou em alta voz em judaico, e fallou, e disse: Ouvi a palavra do grande rei, do rei da Assyria.
29 Thus says the king, 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of my hand.
Assim diz o rei: Não vos engane Ezequias; porque não vos poderá livrar da sua mão;
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, "The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
Nem tão pouco vos faça Ezequias confiar no Senhor, dizendo: Certamente nos livrará o Senhor, e esta cidade não será entregue na mão do rei da Assyria.
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah.' For thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;
Não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque assim diz o rei da Assyria: Contratae comigo por presentes, e sahi a mim, e coma cada um da sua vide, e da sua figueira, e beba cada um a agua da sua cisterna,
32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Do not listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, "The LORD will deliver us."
Até que eu venha, e vos leve para uma terra como a vossa, terra de trigo e de mosto, terra de pão e de vinhas, terra de oliveiras, de azeite, e de mel; e assim vivereis, e não morrereis: e não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque vos incita, dizendo: O Senhor nos livrará.
33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Porventura os deuses das nações poderam livrar, cada um a sua terra, das mãos do rei da Assyria?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Que é feito dos deuses de Hamath e de Arpad? Que é feito dos deuses de Sepharvaim, Hena e Iva? porventura livraram a Samaria da minha mão?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"
Quaes são elles, d'entre todos os deuses das terras, que livraram a sua terra da minha mão? para que o Senhor livrasse a Jerusalem da minha mão?
36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Do not answer him."
Porém calou-se o povo, e não lhe respondeu uma só palavra; porque mandado do rei havia, dizendo: Não lhe respondereis.
37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Então Eliakim, filho d'Hilkias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joah, filho de Asaph, o chanceler, vieram a Ezequias com os vestidos rasgados, e lhe fizeram saber as palavras de Rabsaké.
