< 2 Kings 1 >
1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Depois da morte de Acabe, Moabe rebelou-se contra Israel.
2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness."
E Acazias caiu pela sacada de uma sala da casa que tinha em Samaria; e estando enfermo enviou mensageiros, e disse-lhes: Ide, e consultai a Baal-Zebube deus de Ecrom, se sararei desta minha enfermidade.
3 But the angel of YHWH said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
Então o anjo do SENHOR falou a Elias Tisbita, dizendo: Levanta-te, e sobe a encontrar-te com os mensageiros do rei de Samaria, e lhes dirás: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que vades a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom?
4 Now therefore thus says YHWH, "You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die."'" Elijah departed.
Portanto assim disse o SENHOR: Do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás. E Elias se foi.
5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, "Why is it that you have returned?"
E quando os mensageiros voltaram ao rei, ele lhes disse: Por que, pois, voltastes?
6 They said to him, "A man came up to meet us, and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, "Thus says YHWH, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'"
E eles lhe responderam: Encontramos um homem que nos disse: Ide, e voltai ao rei que vos enviou, e dizei-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que tu envias a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Portanto, do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás.
7 He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
Então ele lhes disse: Qual era a roupa daquele homem que encontrastes, e que vos disse tais palavras?
8 They answered him, "He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite."
E eles lhe responderam: Um homem vestido de pelos, e cingia seus lombos com um cinto de couro. Então ele disse: É Elias, o tisbita.
9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and look, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'"
E enviou logo a ele um capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta, o qual subiu a ele; e eis que ele estava sentado no cume do monte. E ele lhe disse: Homem de Deus, o rei disse que desças.
10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
E Elias respondeu, e disse ao capitão de cinquenta: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e consuma-te com teus cinquenta. E desceu fogo do céu, que o consumiu a ele e a seus cinquenta.
11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he went up and said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down quickly.'"
Voltou o rei a enviar a ele outro capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta; e falou-lhe, e disse: Homem de Deus, o rei disse assim: Desce logo.
12 And Elijah answered and said to him, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
E respondeu-lhe Elias, e disse: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e consuma-te com teus cinquenta. E desceu fogo do céu, que o consumiu a ele e a seus cinquenta.
13 And he tried again and sent a third captain with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, "Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
E voltou a enviar o terceiro capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta; e subindo aquele terceiro capitão de cinquenta, ficou de joelhos diante de Elias, e rogou-lhe, dizendo: Homem de Deus, rogo-te que diante dos teus olhos seja preciosa minha vida e a vida destes teus cinquenta servos.
14 Look, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight."
Eis que desceu fogo do céu, e consumiu os dois primeiros capitães de cinquenta, com seus cinquenta; seja agora minha vida preciosa diante de teus olhos.
15 The angel of YHWH said to Elijah, "Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him." He arose, and went down with him to the king.
Então o anjo do SENHOR disse a Elias: Desce com ele; não tenhas dele medo. E ele se levantou, e desceu com ele ao rei.
16 He said to him, "Thus says YHWH, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"
E disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Por que enviaste mensageiros a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Acaso não há Deus em Israel para consultar a sua palavra? Não descerás, portanto, do leito em que subiste, antes certamente morrerás.
17 So he died according to the word of YHWH which Elijah had spoken. And his brother Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
E morreu conforme à palavra do SENHOR que Elias havia falado; e reinou em seu lugar Jorão, no segundo ano de Jeorão, filho de Josafá rei de Judá; porque Acazias não tinha filho.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
E os demais dos feitos de Acazias, não estão escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
