< 1 Kings 20 >

1 Ben Hadad the king of Aram gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
E Ben-hadad, rei da Syria, ajuntou todas as suas forças: e trinta e dois reis, e cavallos e carros havia com elle: e subiu, e cercou a Samaria, e pelejou contra ella.
2 He sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, "Thus says Ben Hadad,
E enviou á cidade mensageiros, a Achab, rei de Israel.
3 'Your silver and your gold is mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.'"
E disse-lhe: Assim diz Ben-hadad: A tua prata e o teu oiro são meus; e tuas mulheres e os melhores de teus filhos são meus.
4 The king of Israel answered, "It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have."
E respondeu o rei de Israel, e disse: Conforme a tua palavra, ó rei meu senhor, teu sou eu, e tudo quanto tenho.
5 The messengers came again, and said, "Ben Hadad says, 'I sent indeed to you, saying, "You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
E tornaram a vir os mensageiros, e disseram: Assim falla Ben-hadad, dizendo: Ainda que eu te mandei dizer: Tu me has de dar a tua prata, e o teu oiro, e as tuas mulheres e os teus filhos;
6 but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in their eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away."'"
Todavia ámanhã a estas horas enviarei os meus servos a ti, e esquadrinharão a tua casa, e as casas dos teus servos: e ha de ser que tudo o que fôr aprazivel aos teus olhos o metterão nas suas mãos, e o levarão.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I did not deny him."
Então o rei de Israel chamou a todos os anciãos da terra, e disse: Notae agora, e vêde como este busca mal; pois enviara a mim por minhas mulheres, e por meus filhos, e pela minha prata, e pelo meu oiro, e não lh'o neguei.
8 All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen, neither consent."
E todos os anciãos e todo o povo lhe disseram: Não lhe dês ouvidos, nem consintas.
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do.'" The messengers departed, and brought him back the message.
Pelo que disse aos mensageiros de Ben-hadad: Dizei ao rei, meu senhor: Tudo o que primeiro mandaste pedir a teu servo, farei, porém isto não posso fazer. E foram os mensageiros, e lhe tornaram a dar esta resposta.
10 Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."
E Ben-hadad enviou a elle, e disse: Assim me façam os deuses, e outro tanto, que o pó de Samaria não bastará para encher as mãos de todo o povo que me segue.
11 The king of Israel answered, "Tell him, 'Do not let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.'"
Porém o rei de Israel respondeu, e disse: Dizei-lhe: Não se gabe quem se cinge, como aquelle que se descinge.
12 It happened, when Ben Hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, "Prepare to attack." They prepared to attack the city.
E succedeu que, ouvindo elle esta palavra, estando bebendo elle e os reis nas tendas, disse aos seus servos: Ponde-vos em ordem contra a cidade.
13 Look, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Look, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
E eis que um propheta se chegou a Achab rei de Israel, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Viste toda esta grande multidão? eis que hoje t'a entregarei nas tuas mãos, para que saibas que eu sou o Senhor.
14 Ahab said, "By whom?" He said, "Thus says the LORD, 'By the young men of the governors of the districts.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" He answered, "You."
E disse Achab: Por quem? E elle disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Pelos moços dos principes das provincias. E disse: Quem começará a peleja? E disse: Tu
15 Then he mustered the young men of the governors of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
Então contou os moços dos principes das provincias, e foram duzentos e trinta e dois: e depois d'elles contou a todo o povo, todos os filhos de Israel, sete mil.
16 They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
E sairam ao meio dia: e Ben-hadad estava bebendo e embriagando-se nas tendas, elle e os reis, os trinta e dois reis, que o ajudavam.
17 the young men of the governors of the districts went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, "Men are coming out from Samaria."
E os moços dos principes das provincias sairam primeiro: e Ben-hadad enviou a alguns, que lhe deram avisos, dizendo: Sairam de Samaria uns homens.
18 He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive."
E elle disse: Ainda que para paz saissem, tomae-os vivos: e ainda que á peleja saissem, vivos os tomae.
19 So these went out of the city, the young men of the governors of the districts, and the army which followed them.
Sairam pois da cidade os moços dos principes das provincias, e o exercito que os seguia.
20 They each killed his man. The Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
E elles feriram cada um o seu homem, e os syros fugiram, e Israel os perseguiu: porém Ben-hadad, rei da Syria, escapou a cavallo, com alguns cavalleiros.
21 The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
E saiu o rei de Israel, e feriu os cavallos e os carros: e feriu os syros com grande estrago.
22 The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you."
Então o propheta chegou-se ao rei de Israel e lhe disse: Vae, esforça-te, e attenta, e olha o que has de fazer; porque no decurso d'um anno o rei da Syria subirá contra ti
23 The servants of the king of Aram said to him, "Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
Porque os servos do rei da Syria lhe disseram: Seus deuses são deuses dos montes, por isso foram mais fortes do que nós: mas pelejemos com elles em campo raso, e por certo, veremos, se não somos mais fortes do que elles!
24 Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
Faze pois isto: tira os reis, cada um do seu logar, e põe capitães em seu logar.
25 Muster an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than them." He listened to their voice, and did so.
E numera outro exercito, como o exercito que caiu de ti, e cavallos como aquelles cavallos, e carros como aquelles carros, e pelejemos com elles em campo raso, e veremos se não somos mais fortes do que elles! E deu ouvidos á sua voz, e assim fez.
26 It happened at the return of the year, that Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
E succedeu que, passado um anno, Ben-hadad fez revista dos syros, e subiu a Afek, para pelejar contra Israel.
27 The children of Israel were mustered, and were provisioned, and went against them. The children of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of young goats; but the Arameans filled the country.
Tambem dos filhos d'Israel se fez revista, e providos de viveres marcharam contra elles; e os filhos de Israel acamparam-se defronte d'elles, como dois pequenos rebanhos de cabras; mas os syros enchiam a terra.
28 A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because the Arameans have said, "The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys"; therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
E chegou o homem de Deus, e fallou ao rei de Israel, e disse: Assim diz o Senhor; Porquanto os syros disseram: O Senhor é Deus dos montes, e não Deus dos valles: toda esta grande multidão entregarei nas tuas mãos: para que saibas que eu sou o Senhor.
29 They camped one over against the other seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Arameans in one day.
E sete dias estiveram estes acampados defronte dos outros: e succedeu ao setimo dia que a peleja começou, e os filhos de Israel feriram dos syros cem mil homens de pé, n'um dia.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.
E os restantes fugiram a Afek, á cidade; e caiu o muro sobre vinte e sete mil homens, que restaram: Ben-hadad porém fugiu, e veiu á cidade, andando de camara em camara.
31 His servants said to him, "See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life."
Então lhe disseram os seus servos: Eis que já temos ouvido que os reis da casa de Israel são reis clementes: ponhamos pois saccos aos lombos, e cordas ás cabeças, e saiamos ao rei de Israel; pode ser que guarde em vida a tua alma
32 So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, "Your servant Ben Hadad says, 'Please let me live.'" He said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."
Então cingiram saccos aos lombos e cordas ás cabeças, e vieram ao rei de Israel, e disseram: Diz o teu servo Ben-hadad: Deixa-me viver. E disse elle: Pois ainda vive? é meu irmão.
33 Now the men were looking for an omen, and they seized upon it from him, and they said, "Ben Hadad is your brother." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben Hadad came out to him, and he had him come up into the chariot.
E aquelles homens tomaram isto por bom presagio, e apressaram-se em apanhar a sua palavra, e disseram: Teu irmão Ben-hadad vive. E elle disse: Vinde, trazei-m'o. Então Ben-hadad saiu a elle, e elle o fez subir ao carro.
34 Ben Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." "I," said Ahab, "will let you go with this covenant." So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
E disse elle: As cidades que meu pae tomou de teu pae t'as restituirei, e faze para ti ruas em Damasco, como meu pae as fez em Samaria. E eu, respondeu Achab, te deixarei ir com esta alliança. E fez com elle alliança e o deixou ir.
35 A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the word of the LORD, "Please strike me." The man refused to strike him.
Então um dos homens dos filhos dos prophetas disse ao seu companheiro, pela palavra do Senhor: Ora fere-me. E o homem recusou feril-o.
36 Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, look, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall kill you." As soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him.
E elle lhe disse: Porque não obedeceste á voz do Senhor, eis que, em te apartando de mim, um leão te ferirá. E, como d'elle se apartou, um leão o encontrou e o feriu.
37 Then he found another man, and said, "Please strike me." The man struck him, smiting and wounding him.
Depois encontrou outro homem, e disse-lhe: Ora fere-me. E feriu-o aquelle homem, ferindo-o e vulnerando-o.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
Então foi o propheta, e poz-se perante o rei no caminho: e disfarçou-se com cinza sobre os seus olhos.
39 As the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and look, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, 'Guard this man. If by any means he be missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'
E succedeu que, passando o rei, clamou elle ao rei, e disse: Teu servo saiu ao meio da peleja, e eis que, desviando-se um homem, me trouxe outro homem, e disse: Guarda-me este homem; se vier a faltar, será a tua vida em logar da vida d'elle, ou pagarás um talento de prata.
40 As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So your judgment shall be; you yourself have decided it."
Succedeu pois que, estando o teu servo occupado d'uma e d'outra parte, entretanto desappareceu. Então o rei de Israel lhe disse: Esta é a tua sentença; tu mesmo a pronunciaste.
41 He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was of the prophets.
Então elle se apressou, e tirou a cinza de sobre os seus olhos: e o rei de Israel o reconheceu, que era um dos prophetas.
42 He said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.'"
E disse-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porquanto soltaste da mão o homem que eu havia posto para destruição, a tua vida será em logar da sua vida, e o teu povo em logar do seu povo.
43 The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
E foi-se o rei de Israel a sua casa, desgostoso e indignado: e veiu a Samaria.
