1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
E estiveram quietos três anos, não havendo guerra entre Síria e Israel.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
Porém no terceiro ano sucedeu que Josaphat, rei de Judá, 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 Síria?
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 à 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 cavalos como os teus cavalos.
5 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
Disse mais Josaphat ao rei de 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 profetas até quase quatrocentos homens, e disse-lhes: Irei à peleja contra Ramoth de Gilead, ou deixarei de ir? E eles 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 há aqui ainda algum profeta 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 há um homem por quem podemos consultar ao Senhor; porém eu o aborreço, porque nunca profetiza de mim bem, mas só mal; este é Micha, filho de Imla. E disse Josaphat: Não fale 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 eunuco, 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 Judá, estavam assentados cada um no seu trono, vestidos de vestiduras reais, na praça, à entrada da porta de Samaria: e todos os profetas profetizavam 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 siros, 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 profetas profetizaram 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 falou-lhe, dizendo: Vês aqui que as palavras dos profetas a uma voz predizem coisas boas para o rei: seja pois a tua palavra como a palavra dum deles, e fala 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 falarei.
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 ele ao rei, o rei lhe disse: Micha, iremos a Ramoth de Gilead à peleja, ou deixaremos de ir? E ele lhe disse: Sobe, e serás próspero; 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 fales 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 ele: Vi a todo o Israel disperso pelos montes, como ovelhas que não tem pastor; e disse o Senhor: Estes não tem 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 ele: Ouve pois a palavra do Senhor: Vi ao Senhor assentado sobre o seu trono, e todo o exército do céu estava junto a ele, à sua mão direita e à 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 desta maneira e outro doutra.
21 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
Então saiu um espírito, 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 ele: Eu sairei, e serei um espírito de mentira na boca de todos os seus profetas. E ele disse: Tu o induzirás, e ainda prevalecerás; sai, 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 pôs o espírito de mentira na boca de todos estes teus profetas, e o Senhor falou 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 espírito do Senhor para falar 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 naquele mesmo dia, quando entrares de câmara em câmara, 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: tomai a Micha, e tornai a traze-lo 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: metei este homem na casa do cárcere, e sustentai-o com o pão de angústia, e com água 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 falado 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 Judá, 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 Síria 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,
Sucedeu pois que, vendo os chefes dos carros a Josaphat, disseram eles: Certamente este é o rei de Israel. E chegaram-se a ele, para pelejar com ele: porém Josaphat exclamou.
33 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
E sucedeu que, vendo os chefes dos carros que não era o rei de Israel deixaram de segui-lo.
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 de Israel por entre as fivelas e as couraças; então ele disse ao seu carreteiro: Vira a tua mão, e tira-me do exército, 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 naquele dia, e o rei parou no carro defronte dos siros: porém ele morreu à 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 exército, 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 à 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 sucessos d'Achab, e a tudo quanto fez, e à casa de marfim que edificou, e a todas as cidades que edificou, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas 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 pais; e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
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 Judá no quarto ano d'Achab, rei de 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 idade de trinta e cinco anos quando começou a reinar; e vinte e cinco anos reinou em Jerusalém: 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 pai Asa, não se desviou deles, fazendo o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor. Todavia os altos não se tiraram; ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
44 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
E Josaphat esteve em paz com o rei de Israel.
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’.
Quanto ao mais dos sucessos de Josaphat, e ao poder que mostrou, e como guerreou, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
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.
Também desterrou da terra o resto dos rapazes escandalosos, que ficaram nos dias de seu pai Asa.
47 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
Então não havia rei em Edom, porém um vice-rei.
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.
E fez Josaphat navios de Tarsis, para irem a Ophir por causa do ouro; porém não foram, porque os navios se quebraram em Ezion-geber.
49 Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
Então Achazias, filho de Achab, disse a Josaphat: Vão os meus servos com os teus servos nos navios. Porém Josaphat não quis.
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.
E Josaphat dormiu com seus pais, e foi sepultado junto a seus pais, na cidade de David, seu pai: e Jorão, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
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 Achazias, filho d'Achab, começou a reinar em Samaria, no ano, dezesete de Josaphat, rei de Judá: e reinou dois anos sobre Israel.
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 fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor; porque andou no caminho de seu pai, como também no caminho de sua mãe, e no caminho de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez pecar a 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 serviu a Baal, e se inclinou diante dele: e indignou ao Senhor Deus de Israel, conforme a tudo quanto fizera seu pai.
