2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that 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 Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
Contudo aderiu aos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fizera pecar a Israel; não se apartou deles.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams.
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 But it happened, when Ahab was dead, 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 King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
Por isso Jorão ao mesmo tempo saiu de Samaria, e fez revista de todo o Israel.
7 He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?" He said, "I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as 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 He said, "Which way shall we go up?" He answered, "The way of the wilderness of Edom."
E ele disse: Por que caminho subiremos? Então disse ele: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. There was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed 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 The king of Israel said, "Alas. For Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver 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 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him?" One of the king of Israel's servants answered, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."
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 Jehoshaphat said, "The word of Jehovah is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah 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 Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother." The king of Israel said to him, "No; for Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand 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 Elisha said, "As Jehovah of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see 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 But now bring me a minstrel." It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came on him.
Ora, pois, trazei-me um tangedor. E sucedeu que, tangendo o tangedor, veio sobre ele a mão do Senhor.
16 He said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Make this valley full of trenches.'
E disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Fazei neste vale muitas covas;
17 For thus says Jehovah, 'You will not see wind, neither will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your animals.
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 This is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
E ainda isto é pouco aos olhos do Senhor: também entregará ele os moabitas nas vossas mãos.
19 You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar 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 It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that look, water came by the way of Edom, and the country 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 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on 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 They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as 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 They said, "This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil."
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 When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
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 They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth only they left its stones; however the men armed with slings went about it, 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 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but 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 Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own 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.
