< 2 Kings 10 >
1 Now, Ahab, had seventy sons in Samaria, —so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel—the elders, and unto them who had been foster-parents for Ahab, saying:
E Achab tinha setenta filhos em Samaria: e Jehu escreveu cartas, e as enviou a Samaria, aos chefes de Jizreel, aos anciãos, e aos aios de Achab, dizendo:
2 Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto you, there being, with you, the sons of your lord, —and, with you, the chariots and the homes, and a fortified city, and the armour,
Logo, em chegando a vós esta carta, pois estão convosco os filhos de vosso senhor, como também os carros, e os cavalos, e a cidade fortalecida, e as armas,
3 ye shall look out the goodliest and fittest of the sons of your lord, and set on the throne of his father, and ye shall do battle for the house of your lord.
Olhai pelo melhor e mais reto dos filhos de vosso senhor, o qual ponde sobre o trono de seu pai, e pelejai pela casa de vosso senhor.
4 Then feared they very greatly, and said, Lo! two kings, stood not before him; how then, should, we, stand?
Porém eles temeram muitíssimo, e disseram: Eis que dois reis não puderam parar diante dele: como pois poderemos nós resistir-lhe?
5 So he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, and the elders, and the foster-parents sent unto Jehu, saying—Thy servants, we are! and, all that thou shalt say unto us, will we do, —we will make no man king, whatsoever is good in thine own eyes, do!
Então o que tinha cargo da casa, e o que tinha cargo da cidade, e os anciãos, e os aios enviaram a Jehu, dizendo: Teus servos somos, e tudo quanto nos disseres faremos; a ninguém poremos rei: faze o que for bom aos teus olhos.
6 Then wrote he unto them a second letter, saying—If, mine, ye are, and, unto my voice, ye intend to hearken, take ye the heads of the men who are sons of your lord, and come in unto me about this time to-morrow, in Jezreel. Now, the sons of the king, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who had been bringing them up.
Então segunda vez lhe escreveu outra carta, dizendo: Se sois meus, e ouvirdes a minha voz, tomai as cabeças dos homens, filhos de vosso senhor, e amanhã, a este tempo vinde a mim a Jizreel (e os filhos do rei, setenta homens, estavam com os grandes da cidade, que os mantinham.)
7 And it came to pass, when the letter reached them, that they took the sons of the king, and slew them, seventy persons, —and put their heads in baskets, and sent unto him to Jezreel.
Sucedeu pois que, chegada a eles a carta, tomaram os filhos do rei, e os mataram, setenta homens: e puseram as suas cabeças em uns cestos, e lhas mandaram a Jizreel.
8 And there came in a messenger and told him, saying, They have brought in the heads of the sons of the king. And he said—Lay ye them in two heaps, at the entrance of the gate, until the morning.
E um mensageiro veio, e lhe anunciou dizendo: Trouxeram as cabeças dos filhos do rei. E ele disse: Ponde-as em dois montões à entrada da porta, até amanhã.
9 And it came to pass, in the morning, that he went out and took his stand, and said unto all the people, Righteous, are, ye! Lo! I, conspired against my lord, and slew him, but, who, smote, all these?
E sucedeu que pela manhã, saindo ele, parou, e disse a todo o povo: Vós sois justos: eis que eu conspirei contra o meu senhor, e o matei; mas quem feriu a todos estes?
10 Know ye, then, that there shall fall nought of the word of Yahweh, to the ground, which Yahweh spake concerning the house of Ahab, —but, Yahweh, hath done that which he spake through his servant Elijah.
Sabei pois agora que, da palavra do Senhor, que o Senhor falou contra a casa de Achab, nada cairá em terra, porque o Senhor tem feito o que falou pelo ministério de seu servo Elias.
11 Then Jehu smote all that were left remaining unto the house of Ahab, in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances and his priests, —until there was not left remaining to him, a survivor.
Também Jehu feriu a todos os restantes da casa de Achab em Jizreel, como também a todos os seus grandes, e os seus conhecidos, e seus sacerdotes, até que nenhum lhe deixou ficar de resto.
12 Then arose he, and came in, and departed for Samaria, —the sheep-shearing house itself being on the road;
Então se levantou e partiu, e foi a Samaria. E, estando no caminho, em Beth-eked dos pastores,
13 so, Jehu, lighted upon the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are, ye? And they said—Brethren of Ahaziah, are, we; so we came down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
Jehu achou os irmãos de Achazias, rei de Judá, e disse: Quem sois vós? E eles disseram: Os irmãos de Achazias somos; e descemos a saudar os filhos do rei e os filhos da rainha.
14 Then said he, —Take them alive. So they took them alive, and slew them [casting them] into the pit of the shearing house, —forty-two men, neither left he remaining a man of them.
Então disse ele: apanhai-os vivos. E eles os apanharam vivos, e os mataram junto ao poço de Beth-eked, quarenta e dois homens; e a nenhum deles deixou de resto.
15 Then departed he from thence, and lighted on Jehonadab son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him, and said unto him—Is thy heart, right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab said—It is. Then, if it is, give me thy hand. So he gave him his hand. And he took him up to him, into the chariot;
E, partindo dali, encontrou a Jonadab, filho de Recab, que lhe vinha ao encontro, o qual saudou e lhe disse: reto é o teu coração, como o meu coração é com o teu coração? E disse Jonadab: É. Então se é, dá-me a mão. E deu-lhe a mão, e fê-lo subir consigo ao carro.
16 and said—Do come with me, and see my jealousy for Yahweh. So he made him ride in his chariot.
E disse: vai comigo, e verás o meu zelo para com o Senhor. E o puseram no seu carro.
17 And, when he came into Samaria, he smote all that were left remaining unto Ahab, in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken unto Elijah.
E, chegando a Samaria, feriu a todos os que ficaram de Achab em Samaria, até que o destruiu, conforme a palavra do Senhor, que dissera a Elias.
18 Then Jehu gathered together all the people, and said unto them, —Ahab, served Baal, a little, —Jehu, will serve him, much.
E ajuntou Jehu a todo o povo, e disse-lhe: Pouco serviu Achab a Baal; Jehu porém muito o servirá.
19 Now, therefore, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests, call ye for me; do not let, a man, be missing; for, a great sacrifice, have I, to Baal, no one that is missing, shall live. But, Jehu, acted, craftily, to the end he might destroy the servants of Baal.
Pelo que chamai-me agora todos os profetas de Baal, todos os seus servos e todos os seus sacerdotes; não falte nenhum, porque tenho um grande sacrifício a Baal; todo aquele que faltar não viverá. Porém Jehu fazia isto com astúcia, para destruir os servos de Baal.
20 And Jehu said—Hallow ye a solemn festival unto Baal. And they made proclamation.
Disse mais Jehu: consagrai a Baal uma assembléia solemne. E a apregoaram.
21 And Jehu sent throughout all Israel, and all the servants of Baal came in, so that there was not left remaining a man, who had not come in, —and they entered the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was filled, from door to door.
Também Jehu enviou por todo o Israel: e vieram todos os servos de Baal, e nenhum homem deles ficou que não viesse: e entraram na casa de Baal, e encheu-se a casa de Baal, dum lado ao outro.
22 Then said he to him who was over the wardrobe chamber, Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal. And he brought forth for them the vestments.
Então disse ao que tinha cargo das vestimentas: Tira as vestimentas para todos os servos de Baal. E ele lhes tirou para fora as vestimentas.
23 Then entered Jehu, with Jehonadab son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, —and he said unto the servants of Baal—Search ye and see, that there be not here, with you, any of the servants of Yahweh, none but the servants of Baal, alone.
E entrou Jehu com Jonadab, filho de Recab, na casa de Baal, e disse aos servos de Baal: examinai, e vede bem, que porventura nenhum dos servos do Senhor aqui haja convosco, senão somente os servos de Baal.
24 And, when they entered to offer sacrifices and ascending-offerings, Jehu, set him, outside, eighty men, and said—The man who shall escape, of the men whom I am bringing into your power, his own life, shall be for, his life.
E, entrando eles a fazerem sacrifícios e holocaustos, Jehu preparou da parte de fora oitenta homens, e disse-lhes: Se escapar algum dos homens que eu entregar em vossas mãos, a vossa vida será pela vida dele.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the ascending-sacrifice, that Jehu said to the runners and to the officers—Enter, smite them, let not, a man, get out. So they smote them, with the edge of the sword, —and the runners and the officers cast them out, and then went as far as the city of the house of Baal,
E sucedeu que, acabando de fazer o holocausto, disse Jehu aos da sua guarda, e aos capitães: entrai, feri-os, não escape nenhum. E os feriram ao fio da espada; e os da guarda e os capitães os lançaram fora, e se foram à cidade, à casa de Baal.
26 and brought forth the idolatrous pillars that were in the house of Baal, and then burned it;
E tiraram as estátuas da casa de Baal, e as queimaram.
27 and they brake down the pillars of Baal, —and brake down the house of Baal, and appointed it for a sewer-house—until this day.
Também quebraram a estátua de Baal: e derrubaram a casa de Baal, e fizeram dela latrinas, até ao dia de hoje.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
E assim Jehu destruiu a Baal de Israel.
29 Nevertheless, as for the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit, Jehu turned not away from following them, —the calves of gold, one being in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
Porém não se apartou Jehu de seguir os pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez pecar a Israel, a saber: dos bezerros de ouro, que estavam em Bethel e em Dan.
30 And Yahweh said unto Jehu: Because thou hast done well, by doing that which was right in mine eyes—according to all that was in my heart, hast done to the house of Ahab, sons, of thine, unto the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
Pelo que disse o Senhor a Jehu: Porquanto bem obraste em fazer o que é reto aos meus olhos e, conforme tudo quanto eu tinha no meu coração, se fizesse à casa de Achab, teus filhos até à quarta geração se assentarão no trono de Israel.
31 But, Jehu, took not heed to walk in the law of Yahweh God of Israel, with all his heart, —he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he caused, Israel, to commit.
Mas Jehu não teve cuidado de andar com todo o seu coração na lei do Senhor Deus de Israel, nem se apartou dos pecados de Jeroboão, que fez pecar a Israel.
32 In those days, began Yahweh to make inroads in Israel, —and Hazael smote them in all the boundaries of Israel;
Naqueles dias começou o Senhor a diminuir os termos de Israel; porque Hazael os feriu em todas as fronteiras de Israel,
33 from the Jordan, towards sunrise, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, —from Aroer, which is by the torrent of Arnon, both Gilead and Bashan.
Desde o Jordão até ao nascente do sol, a toda a terra de Gilead; os gaditas, e os rubenitas, e os manassitas, desde Aroer, que está junto ao ribeiro de Arnon, a saber, Gilead, e Basan.
34 Now, the rest of the story of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Ora o mais dos sucessos de Jehu, e tudo quanto fez, e todo o seu poder, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas de Israel?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, —and, Jehoahaz his son, reigned, in his stead.
E Jehu dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram em Samaria: e Joachaz, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
36 Now, the days that Jehu reigned over Israel, were twenty-eight years, in Samaria.
E os dias que Jehu reinou sobre Israel em Samaria foram vinte e oito anos.
