< 1 Kings 22 >
1 And there continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
E estiveram quietos tres annos, não havendo guerra entre Syria e Israel.
2 But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto the king of Israel.
Porém no terceiro anno succedeu que Josaphat, rei de Judah, desceu para o rei de Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that, ours, is Ramoth-gilead, —yet, we, are too idle to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
E o rei de Israel disse aos seus servos: Não sabeis vós que Ramoth de Gilead é nossa? e nós estamos quietos, sem a tomar da mão do rei da Syria?
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead?
Então disse a Josaphat: Irás tu comigo á peleja a Ramoth de Gilead? E disse Josaphat ao rei de Israel: Serei como tu, e o meu povo como o teu povo, e os meus cavallos como os teus cavallos.
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people are us thy people, my horses as thy horses.
Disse mais Josaphat ao rei d'Israel: Consulta porém primeiro hoje a palavra do Senhor.
6 Then said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them—Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, that the Lord may deliver it into the hand of the king.
Então o rei de Israel ajuntou os prophetas até quasi quatrocentos homens, e disse-lhes: Irei á peleja contra Ramoth de Gilead, ou deixarei de ir? E elles disseram: Sobe, porque o Senhor a entregará na mão do rei.
7 Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?
Disse porém Josaphat: Não ha aqui ainda algum propheta do Senhor, ao qual possamos consultar?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Besides, is a certain man, by whom we might seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only evil, Micaiah, son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Então disse o rei de Israel a Josaphat: Ainda ha um homem por quem podemos consultar ao Senhor; porém eu o aborreço, porque nunca prophetiza de mim bem, mas só mal; este é Micha, filho de Imla. E disse Josaphat: Não falle o rei assim
9 Then the king of Israel called a certain courtier, —and said, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.
Então o rei de Israel chamou um eunucho, e disse: Traze-me depressa a Micha, filho de Imla.
10 Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting—each man upon his throne, having put on robes, in a level place, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy before them;
E o rei de Israel e Josaphat, rei de Judah, estavam assentados cada um no seu throno, vestidos de vestiduras reaes, na praça, á entrada da porta de Samaria: e todos os prophetas prophetizavam na sua presença.
11 when Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, —With these, shalt thou push down the Syrians, until thou hast consumed them.
E Zedekias, filho de Chanaana, fez para si uns cornos de ferro, e disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Com estes escornearás aos syros, até de todo os consumir.
12 And, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy, in like manner, saying, —Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and thou shalt prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it, into the hand of the king.
E todos os prophetas prophetizaram assim, dizendo: Sobe a Ramoth de Gilead, e prosperarás, porque o Senhor a entregará na mão do rei.
13 Now, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Behold, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good, as touching the king, let thy word, I pray thee, be as the word of one of them, so wilt thou speak that which is good.
E o mensageiro que foi chamar a Micha fallou-lhe, dizendo: Vês aqui que as palavras dos prophetas a uma voz predizem coisas boas para o rei: seja pois a tua palavra como a palavra d'um d'elles, e falla bem.
14 And Micaiah said, —By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto me, that, will I, speak.
Porém Micha disse: Vive o Senhor, que o que o Senhor me disser isso fallarei.
15 So he came unto the king, and the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said unto him—Go up and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.
E, vindo elle ao rei, o rei lhe disse: Micha, iremos a Ramoth de Gilead á peleja, ou deixaremos de ir? E elle lhe disse: Sobe, e serás prospero; porque o Senhor a entregará na mão do rei
16 And the king said unto him, How many times must, I, adjure thee, —that thou speak unto me nothing but truth, in the name of Yahweh?
E o rei lhe disse: Até quantas vezes te conjurarei, que me não falles senão a verdade em nome do Senhor?
17 And he said—I saw all Israel, scattered among the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, —so Yahweh said, These have, no masters, let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
Então disse elle: Vi a todo o Israel disperso pelos montes, como ovelhas que não teem pastor; e disse o Senhor: Estes não teem senhor; torne cada um em paz para sua casa.
18 Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Did I not say unto thee, He will not be moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only calamity.
Então o rei de Israel disse a Josaphat: Não te disse eu, que nunca prophetizará de mim bem, senão só mal?
19 Then he said, Therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of the heavens, standing by him, on his right hand, and on his left.
Então disse elle: Ouve pois a palavra do Senhor: Vi ao Senhor assentado sobre o seu throno, e todo o exercito do céu estava junto a elle, á sua mão direita e á sua esquerda.
20 And Yahweh said, Who will persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall, at Ramoth-gilead? And, one, said in this manner, and, another, said in that manner.
E disse o Senhor: Quem induzirá Achab, a que suba, e caia em Ramoth de Gilead? E um dizia d'esta maneira e outro d'outra.
21 Then came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said—I, will persuade him.
Então saiu um espirito, e se apresentou diante do Senhor, e disse: Eu induzirei. E o Senhor lhe disse: Com que?
22 And Yahweh said unto him—Wherewith? And he said—I will go forth, and become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets, —So he said, —Thou mayest persuade, yea and prevail, go forth, and do so.
E disse elle: Eu sairei, e serei um espirito de mentira na bocca de todos os seus prophetas. E elle disse: Tu o induzirás, e ainda prevalecerás; sae, e faze assim.
23 Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of all these thy prophets. But, Yahweh himself, hath spoken concerning thee, calamity.
Agora pois, eis que o Senhor poz o espirito de mentira na bocca de todos estes teus prophetas, e o Senhor fallou mal contra ti.
24 Then drew near Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, —and said—Where then passed the Spirit of Yahweh, from me, to speak unto thee?
Então Zedekias, filho de Chanaana, chegou, e feriu a Micha no queixo: e disse: Por onde passou de mim o espirito do Senhor para fallar a ti?
25 Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou art about to see, on that day, —when thou enterest a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
E disse Micha: Eis que o verás n'aquelle mesmo dia, quando entrares de camara em camara, para te esconderes.
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon captain of the city, —and unto Joash son of the king;
Então disse o rei de Israel: Tomae a Micha, e tornae a trazel-o a Amon, o chefe da cidade, e a Joás filho do rei,
27 and thou shalt say—Thus, saith the king, Put this man into the prison, —and let him eat the bread of oppression, with the water of oppression, until I enter in peace.
E direis: Assim diz o rei: Mettei este homem na casa do carcere, e sustentae-o com o pão de angustia, e com agua de amargura, até que eu venha em paz.
28 Then said Micaiah, If thou, return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you!
E disse Micha: Se tu voltares em paz, o Senhor não tem fallado por mim. Disse mais: Ouvi todos os povos!
29 So the king of Israel went up, with Jehoshaphat king of Judah, unto Ramoth-gilead.
Assim o rei de Israel e Josaphat, rei de Judah, subiram a Ramoth de Gilead.
30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat—I am about to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, thou, therefore, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
E disse o rei de Israel a Josaphat: Eu me disfarçarei, e entrarei na peleja; tu porém veste os teus vestidos. Disfarçou-se pois o rei de Israel, e entrou na peleja.
31 Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, thirty and two, saying, Ye shall not fight with small or great, —save with the king of Israel alone.
E o rei da Syria deu ordem aos chefes dos carros, de que tinha trinta e dois, dizendo: Não pelejareis nem contra pequeno nem contra grande, mas só contra o rei de Israel.
32 And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said: Surely it is, the king of Israel! But, when they turned aside against him to fight, Jehoshaphat cried out.
Succedeu pois que, vendo os chefes dos carros a Josaphat, disseram elles: Certamente este é o rei de Israel. E chegaram-se a elle, para pelejar com elle: porém Josaphat exclamou.
33 And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was, not the king of Israel, that they turned back, from pursuing him.
E succedeu que, vendo os chefes dos carros que não era o rei d'Israel deixaram de seguil-o.
34 But, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel, between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to his charioteer—Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.
Então um homem entesou o arco, na sua simplicidade, e feriu o rei d'Israel por entre as fivelas e as couraças; então elle disse ao seu carreteiro: Vira a tua mão, e tira-me do exercito, porque estou gravemente ferido.
35 But the battle increased that day, and, the king, was propped up in the chariot, before the Syrians, —and died in the evening, and so the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.
E a peleja foi crescendo n'aquelle dia, e o rei parou no carro defronte dos syros: porém elle morreu á tarde; e o sangue da ferida corria no fundo do carro.
36 And a loud cry went through the host, at the going in of the sun, saying—Every man to his own city! and every man to his own land!
E depois do sol posto passou um pregão pelo exercito, dizendo: Cada um para a sua cidade, e cada um para a sua terra!
37 So the king died, and was brought into Samaria, —and they buried the king, in Samaria.
E morreu o rei, e o levaram a Samaria: e sepultaram o rei em Samaria.
38 And, when the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria, the dogs lapped up his blood, also, the harlots, bathed [there], —according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
E, lavando-se o carro no tanque de Samaria, os cães lamberam o seu sangue (ora as prostitutas se lavavam ali), conforme á palavra do Senhor, que tinha dito.
39 Now, the rest of the story of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Quanto ao mais dos successos d'Achab, e a tudo quanto fez, e á casa de marfim que edificou, e a todas as cidades que edificou, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Israel?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Assim dormiu Achab com seus paes; e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
41 Now, Jehoshaphat son of Asa, began to reign over Judah, —in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.
E Josaphat, filho de Asa, começou a reinar sobre Judah no quarto anno d'Achab, rei d'Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat, was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
E era Josaphat da edade de trinta e cinco annos quando começou a reinar; e vinte e cinco annos reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Azuba, filha de Silchi.
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, he turned not aside therefrom, —doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless, the high places, were not taken away, —still were the people offering sacrifices and burning incense in the high places.
E andou em todos os caminhos de seu pae Asa, não se desviou d'elles, fazendo o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Todavia os altos não se tiraram; ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
45 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
E Josaphat esteve em paz com o rei de Israel.
46 Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
Quanto ao mais dos successos de Josaphat, e ao poder que mostrou, e como guerreou, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
47 And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.
Tambem desterrou da terra o resto dos rapazes escandalosos, que ficaram nos dias de seu pae Asa.
48 Jehoshaphat, made ships of Tarshish, to go to Ophir, for gold; but they went not, —for ships had been broken to pieces in Ezion-geber.
Então não havia rei em Edom, porém um vice-rei.
49 Then, said Ahaziah son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, —but Jehoshaphat did not consent.
E fez Josaphat navios de Tarsis, para irem a Ophir por causa do oiro; porém não foram, porque os navios se quebraram em Ezion-geber.
50 So Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Jehoram his son, reigned, in his stead.
Então Achazias, filho de Achab, disse a Josaphat: Vão os meus servos com os teus servos nos navios. Porém Josaphat não quiz.
51 Ahaziah son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, —and reigned over Israel, two years.
E Josaphat dormiu com seus paes, e foi sepultado junto a seus paes, na cidade de David, seu pae: e Jorão, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
52 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused, Israel, to sin.
E Achazias, filho d'Achab, começou a reinar em Samaria, no anno, dezesete de Josaphat, rei de Judah: e reinou dois annos sobre Israel.
53 Yea he served Baal, and bowed down to him, —and provoked to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor; porque andou no caminho de seu pae, como tambem no caminho de sua mãe, e no caminho de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez peccar a Israel. E serviu a Baal, e se inclinou diante d'elle: e indignou ao Senhor Deus de Israel, conforme a tudo quanto fizera seu pae.
