< 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 tinha Acabe em Samaria setenta filhos; e escreveu cartas Jeú, e enviou-as a Samaria aos principais de Jezreel, aos anciãos e aos tutores de Acabe, 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 estas cartas a vós o que tendes os filhos de vosso senhor, e os que tendes carros e cavaleiros, a cidade fortificada, 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 qual é o melhor e ele mais reto dos filhos de vosso senhor, e ponde-o no trono de seu pai, e lutai 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?
Mas eles tiveram grande temor, e disseram: Eis que dois reis não puderam resistir-lhe, como lhe resistiremos nós?
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!
E o mordomo, e o governador da cidade, e os anciãos, e os tutores, enviaram a dizer a Jeú: Servos teus somos, e faremos tudo o que nos mandares: não elegeremos por rei a ninguém; tu farás o que bem te parecer.
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.
Ele então lhes escreveu a segunda vez dizendo: Se sois meus, e quereis obedecer-me, tomai os chefes dos homens filhos de vosso senhor, e vinde amanhã a estas horas a mim a Jezreel. E os filhos do rei, setenta homens, estavam com os principais da cidade, que os criavam.
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.
E quando as cartas chegaram a eles, tomaram aos filhos do rei, e degolaram setenta homens, e puseram suas cabeças em cestos, e enviaram-nas a Jezreel.
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 veio um mensageiro que lhe deu as novas, dizendo: Trouxeram as cabeças dos filhos do rei. E ele lhe disse: Ponde-as em dois amontoados à entrada da porta até a manhã.
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?
Vinda a manhã, saiu ele, e estando em pé disse a todo o povo: Vós sois justos: eis que eu conspirei contra meu senhor, e o mateis: mas quem matou 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 agora que da palavra do SENHOR que falou sobre a casa de Acabe, nada cairá em terra: e que o SENHOR fez o que disse por 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.
Matou então Jeú a todos os que haviam restado da casa de Acabe em Jezreel, e a todos seus príncipes, e a todos seus familiares, e a seus sacerdotes, que não lhe restou ninguém.
12 Then arose he, and came in, and departed for Samaria, —the sheep-shearing house itself being on the road;
E levantou-se dali, e veio a Samaria; e chegando ele no caminho a uma casa de tosa de 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.
Achou ali aos irmãos de Acazias rei de Judá, e disse-lhes: Quem sois vós? E eles disseram: Somos irmãos de Acazias, e viemos a saudar aos filhos do rei, e aos 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 ele disse: Prendei-os vivos. E depois que os tomaram vivos, eles os degolaram junto ao poço da casa de tosa, quarenta e dois homens, sem deixar ninguém deles.
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;
Partindo-se logo dali encontrou-se com Jonadabe filho de Recabe; e depois que o saudou, disse-lhe: É reto teu coração, como o meu é reto com o teu? E Jonadabe disse: O é. Pois que o é, dá-me a mão. E ele lhe deu sua mão. Fê-lo logo subir consigo no carro.
16 and said—Do come with me, and see my jealousy for Yahweh. So he made him ride in his chariot.
E disse-lhe: Vem comigo, e verás meu zelo pelo SENHOR. Puseram-no pois em 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 logo que havia Jeú chegado a Samaria, matou a todos os que haviam restado de Acabe em Samaria, até extirpá-los, conforme à palavra do SENHOR, que havia falado por Elias.
18 Then Jehu gathered together all the people, and said unto them, —Ahab, served Baal, a little, —Jehu, will serve him, much.
E juntou Jeú todo o povo, e disse-lhes: Acabe serviu pouco a Baal; mas Jeú o servirá muito.
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.
Chamai-me, pois, logo a todos os profetas de Baal, a todos seus servos, e a todos seus sacerdotes; que não falte um, porque tenho um grande sacrifício para Baal; qualquer um que faltar, não viverá. Isto fazia Jeú com astúcia, para destruir aos que honravam a Baal.
20 And Jehu said—Hallow ye a solemn festival unto Baal. And they made proclamation.
E disse Jeú: Santificai um dia solene a Baal. E eles convocaram.
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.
E enviou Jeú por todo Israel, e vieram todos os servos de Baal, que não faltou ninguém que não viesse. E entraram no templo de Baal, e o templo de Baal se encheu de fim a fim.
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 o cargo das vestiduras: Tira vestiduras para todos os servos de Baal. E ele lhes tirou 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 Jeú com Jonadabe filho de Recabe no templo de Baal, e disse aos servos de Baal: Olhai e vede que por dita não haja aqui entre vós algum dos servos do SENHOR, a não ser 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 quando eles entraram para fazer sacrifícios e holocaustos, Jeú pôs fora oitenta homens, e disse-lhes: Qualquer um que deixar vivo algum daqueles homens que eu pus em vossas mãos, sua vida será pela do outro.
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 depois que acabaram eles de fazer o holocausto, Jeú disse aos de seu guarda e aos capitães: Entrai, e matai-os; que não escape ninguém. E os feriram à espada: e os da guarda e os capitães os lançaram fora, e foram até a cidade do templo 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 queimaram-nas.
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.
E quebraram a estátua de Baal, e derrubaram a casa de Baal, e fizeram-na latrina, até hoje.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Assim extinguiu Jeú 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.
Contudo isso Jeú não se separou dos pecados de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, que fez pecar a Israel; a saber, seguindo o os bezerros de ouro que estavam em Betel e em Dã.
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.
E o SENHOR disse a Jeú: Porquanto fizeste bem executando o que era correto diante de meus olhos, e fizeste à casa de Acabe conforme a tudo o que estava em meu coração, teus filhos se sentarão no trono de Israel até a quarta geração.
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 Jeú não cuidou de andar na lei do SENHOR Deus de Israel com todo seu coração, nem se separou dos pecados de Jeroboão, o que havia feito pecar a Israel.
32 In those days, began Yahweh to make inroads in Israel, —and Hazael smote them in all the boundaries of Israel;
Em aqueles dias começou o SENHOR a diminuir o território de Israel: e feriu-os Hazael em todos os termos 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 ao oriente, toda a terra de Gileade, de Gade, de Rúben, e de Manassés, desde Aroer que está junto ao ribeiro de Arnom, a Gileade e a Basã.
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?
Os demais dos feitos de Jeú, e todas as coisas que fez, e toda sua valentia, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, —and, Jehoahaz his son, reigned, in his stead.
E dormiu Jeú com seus pais, e sepultaram-no em Samaria: e reinou em seu lugar Jeoacaz seu filho.
36 Now, the days that Jehu reigned over Israel, were twenty-eight years, in Samaria.
O tempo que reinou Jeú sobre Israel em Samaria, foi vinte e oito anos.
