1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
Três anos passaram sem guerra entre os sírios e Israel.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
E aconteceu ao terceiro ano, que Josafá rei de Judá desceu ao 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 a seus servos: Não sabeis que Ramote de Gileade e nossa? Porém ficamos 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.”
E disse a Josafá: Queres vir comigo a lutar contra Ramote de Gileade? E Josafá respondeu ao rei de Israel: Como eu, assim tu; e como meu povo, assim teu povo; e como meus cavalos, teus cavalos.
5 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
E disse logo Josafá ao rei de Israel: Eu te rogo que consultes 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 juntou os profetas, como quatrocentos homens, aos quais disse: Irei à guerra contra Ramote de Gileade, ou a deixarei? E eles disseram: Sobe; porque o Senhor a entregará em mão do rei.
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
E disse Josafá: Há ainda aqui algum profeta do SENHOR, pelo qual consultemos?
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!”
E o rei de Israel respondeu a Josafá: Ainda há um homem pelo qual poderíamos consultar ao SENHOR, Micaías, filho de Inlá: mas eu lhe aborreço porque nunca me profetiza bem, a não ser somente mal. E Josafá disse: 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 a um eunuco, e disse-lhe: traze logo a Micaías filho de Inlá.
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 Josafá rei de Judá estavam sentados cada um em sua cadeira, vestidos de suas roupas reais, na praça junto à entrada da porta de Samaria; e todos os profetas profetizavam diante deles.
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 Zedequias filho de Quenaaná se havia feito uns chifres de ferro, e disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Com estes chifrarás aos siros até acabá-los.
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 profetizavam da mesma maneira, dizendo: Sobe a Ramote de Gileade, e serás próspero; que o SENHOR a dará em 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 havia ido a chamar a Micaías, falou-lhe, dizendo: Eis que as palavras dos profetas unanimemente anunciam o bem ao rei; seja agora a tua palavra conforme à palavra de algum deles, e anuncia o bem.
14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
E Micaías respondeu: Vive o SENHOR, que o que o SENHOR me falar, isso direi.
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!”
Veio, pois, ao rei, e o rei lhe disse: Micaías, devemos ir lutar por Ramote de Gileade, ou a deixaremos? E ele respondeu: Sobe, que serás próspero, e 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 farei jurar que não me digas a não ser a verdade no 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 ele disse: Eu vi a todo Israel disperso pelos montes, como ovelhas que não têm pastor: e o SENHOR disse: Estes não têm senhor: volte-se cada um a sua casa em paz.
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].”
E o rei de Israel disse a Josafá: Não te o havia eu dito? Nenhuma coisa boa profetizará ele acerca de mim, a não ser somente 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 ele disse: Ouve, pois, a palavra do SENHOR: Eu vi o SENHOR sentado em seu trono, e todo o exército dos céus estava junto a ele, à sua 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 o SENHOR disse: Quem induzirá a Acabe, para que suba e caia em Ramote de Gileade? E um dizia de uma maneira; e outro dizia de outra.
21 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
E saiu um espírito, e pôs-se diante do SENHOR, e disse: Eu lhe induzirei. E o SENHOR lhe disse: De que maneira?
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 ele disse: Eu sairei, e serei espírito de mentira em boca de todos seus profetas. E ele disse: induzi-lo-ás, e ainda sairás com ele; sai, pois, e faze-o 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.”
E agora, eis que o SENHOR pôs espírito de mentira na boca de todos estes teus profetas, e o SENHOR decretou o mal acerca de 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]
Chegando-se então Zedequias filho de Quenaaná, feriu a Micaías na face, dizendo: Por onde se foi 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 Micaías respondeu: Eis que tu o verás naquele dia, quando te irás metendo de câmara em câmara por esconder-te.
26 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
Então o rei de Israel disse: Toma a Micaías, e volta-o a Amom governador 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 dirás: Assim disse o rei: Lançai a este no cárcere, e mantende-lhe com pão de angústia e com água de aflição, até que eu volte 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 Micaías: Se chegares a voltar em paz, o SENHOR não falou por mim. Em seguida disse: Ouvi, povos todos.
29 So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
Subiu, pois, o rei de Israel com Josafá rei de Judá a Ramote de Gileade.
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 o rei de Israel disse a Josafá: Eu me disfarçarei, e entrarei na batalha: e tu veste-te tuas vestes. E o rei de Israel se disfarçou, e entrou na batalha.
31 The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
Mas o rei da Síria havia mandado a seus trinta e dois capitães dos carros, dizendo: Não luteis vós nem com grande nem com pequeno, a não ser somente 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,
E quando os capitães dos carros viram a Josafá, disseram: Certamente este é o rei de Israel; e vieram a ele para lutar com ele; mas o rei Josafá gritou.
33 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
Vendo, então, os capitães dos carros que não era o rei de Israel, apartaram-se dele.
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!”
E um homem disparando seu arco ao acaso, feriu ao rei de Israel por entre as junturas da armadura; pelo que disse ele a seu condutor do carro: Toma a volta, e tira-me do campo, que estou 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.
Mas a batalha havia se intensificado naquele dia, e o rei esteve em seu carro diante dos sírios, e à tarde morreu: e o sangue da ferida corria pelo 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 ao pôr do sol saiu um clamor pelo campo, dizendo: Cada um à sua cidade, e cada qual à 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, pois, o rei, e foi trazido a Samaria; e sepultaram ao 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 lavaram o carro no tanque de Samaria, onde as prostitutas também se lavavam; e os cães lamberam seu sangue, conforme à palavra do SENHOR que havia falado.
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’.
Os demais dos feitos de Acabe, e todas as coisas que ele executou, e a casa de marfim que fez, e todas as cidades que edificou, não estão escritos 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.
E descansou Acabe com seus pais, e reinou em seu lugar Acazias seu filho.
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 Josafá filho de Asa começou a reinar sobre Judá no quarto ano de Acabe 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 Josafá de trinta e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou vinte e cinco anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Azuba filha de Sili.
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 todo o caminho de Asa seu pai, sem desviar dele, fazendo o reto nos olhos do SENHOR. Contudo isso os altos não foram tirados; que o povo sacrificava ainda, e queimava incenso nos altos.
44 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
E Josafá fez 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’.
Os demais dos feitos de Josafá, e suas façanhas, e as guerras que fez, 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.
Removeu também da terra o resto dos sodomitas que haviam restado no tempo de seu pai Asa.
47 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
Não havia então rei em Edom; governador havia em lugar de 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.
Havia Josafá feito navios em Társis, os quais haviam de ir a Ofir por ouro; mas não foram, porque se romperam em Eziom-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 Acazias filho de Acabe disse a Josafá: Vão meus servos com os teus nos navios. Mas Josafá 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 dormiu Josafá com seus pais, e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de Davi seu pai; e em seu lugar reinou Jeorão seu filho.
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 Acazias filho de Acabe começou a reinar sobre Israel em Samaria, o ano dezessete de Josafá 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, e andou no caminho de seu pai, e no caminho de sua mãe, e no caminho de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, 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.
Porque serviu a Baal, e o adorou, e provocou à ira o SENHOR Deus de Israel, conforme todas as coisas que seu pai havia feito.
