1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
E estiveram quietos tres annos, não havendo guerra entre Syria e Israel.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
Porém no terceiro anno succedeu que Josaphat, rei de Judah, desceu para o rei de Israel.
3 [While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
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 Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
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 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
Disse mais Josaphat ao rei d'Israel: Consulta porém primeiro hoje a palavra do Senhor.
6 So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
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 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
Disse porém Josaphat: Não ha aqui ainda algum propheta do Senhor, ao qual possamos consultar?
8 The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
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 So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
Então o rei de Israel chamou um eunucho, e disse: Traze-me depressa a Micha, filho de Imla.
10 The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
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 One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy 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 All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
E todos os prophetas prophetizaram assim, dizendo: Sobe a Ramoth de Gilead, e prosperarás, porque o Senhor a entregará na mão do rei.
13 Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
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 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
Porém Micha disse: Vive o Senhor, que o que o Senhor me disser isso fallarei.
15 When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
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 But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
E o rei lhe disse: Até quantas vezes te conjurarei, que me não falles senão a verdade em nome do Senhor?
17 So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
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 Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
Então o rei de Israel disse a Josaphat: Não te disse eu, que nunca prophetizará de mim bem, senão só mal?
19 But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
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 can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
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 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
Então saiu um espirito, e se apresentou diante do Senhor, e disse: Eu induzirei. E o Senhor lhe disse: Com que?
22 Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
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 So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
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 Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
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 Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
E disse Micha: Eis que o verás n'aquelle mesmo dia, quando entrares de camara em camara, para te esconderes.
26 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
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 Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
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 Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
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 and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
Assim o rei de Israel e Josaphat, rei de Judah, subiram a Ramoth de Gilead.
30 King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went 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 The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
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 So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when 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 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
E succedeu que, vendo os chefes dos carros que não era o rei d'Israel deixaram de seguil-o.
34 But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely 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 The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
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 Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
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 king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
E morreu o rei, e o levaram a Samaria: e sepultaram o rei em Samaria.
38 They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
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 The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History 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 When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
Assim dormiu Achab com seus paes; e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
41 Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
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 started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the 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 Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
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 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
Todavia os altos não se tiraram; ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
45 All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
E Josaphat esteve em paz com o rei de Israel.
46 Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
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 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
Tambem desterrou da terra o resto dos rapazes escandalosos, que ficaram nos dias de seu pae Asa.
48 Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
Então não havia rei em Edom, porém um vice-rei.
49 Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
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 When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
Então Achazias, filho de Achab, disse a Josaphat: Vão os meus servos com os teus servos nos navios. Porém Josaphat não quiz.
51 Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for 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 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
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 Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
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.
