1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
Eles continuaram três anos sem guerra entre a Síria e Israel.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
No terceiro ano, Jeosafá, o 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!”
O rei de Israel disse a seus servos: “Vocês sabem que Ramoth Gilead é nosso, e nós não fazemos nada, e não o tiramos 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.”
Ele disse a Jehoshaphat: “Você irá comigo para a batalha contra Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat disse ao rei de Israel: “Eu sou como você é, meu povo como seu povo, meus cavalos como seus cavalos”.
5 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
Jehoshaphat disse ao rei de Israel: “Por favor, pergunte primeiro pela palavra de Yahweh”.
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 reuniu os profetas, cerca de quatrocentos homens, e disse-lhes: “Devo ir contra Ramoth Gilead para a batalha, ou devo me abster? Eles disseram: “Sobe, porque o Senhor o entregará nas mãos do rei”.
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
Mas Jehoshaphat disse: “Não há aqui um profeta de Yahweh, que possamos inquirir dele?”
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!”
O rei de Israel disse a Jeosafá: “Ainda há um homem por quem podemos perguntar a Javé, Micaías, filho de Ilá; mas eu o odeio, pois ele não profetiza o bem a meu respeito, mas o mal”. Jehoshaphat disse: “Não deixe o rei dizer isso”.
9 So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
Então o rei de Israel chamou um oficial e disse: “Rapidamente pegue Micaías, o filho de Alá”.
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).
Now o rei de Israel e Jeosafá o rei de Judá estavam sentados cada um em seu trono, vestidos com suas vestes, em um lugar aberto na entrada do portão 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!’”
Zedequias, filho de Chenaaná, fez-se chifres de ferro, e disse: “Javé diz: 'Com estes empurrarás os sírios, até que sejam consumidos'”.
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!”
Todos os profetas profetizaram assim, dizendo: “Subam a Ramoth Gilead e prosperem; pois Javé o entregará nas mãos 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).”
O mensageiro que foi chamar Micaías falou com ele, dizendo: “Veja agora, os profetas declaram o bem ao rei com uma só boca”. Que sua palavra seja como a palavra de um deles, e fale bem”.
14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
Micaiah disse: “Como Yahweh vive, o que Yahweh me diz, que eu vou falar”.
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!”
Quando ele chegou ao rei, o rei lhe disse: “Micaías, vamos a Ramoth Gilead para a batalha, ou devemos abster-nos de lutar? Ele lhe respondeu: “Suba e prospere; e Yahweh o entregará nas mãos 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]!”
O rei lhe disse: “Quantas vezes tenho de contíguo que você não me fala nada além da verdade em nome de Iavé?”
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.’”
Ele disse: “Eu vi todo Israel espalhado pelas montanhas, como ovelhas que não têm pastor”. Yahweh disse: “Estas não têm dono”. Que cada um deles volte para 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].”
O rei de Israel disse a Jehoshaphat: “Eu não te disse que ele não profetizaria o bem a meu respeito, mas o 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.
Micaiah disse: “Portanto, ouçam a palavra de Javé. Vi Iavé sentado em seu trono, e todo o exército do céu ao seu lado, 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.
Yahweh disse: “Quem vai atrair Ahab, para que ele possa subir e cair em Ramoth Gilead? Um disse uma coisa, e outro disse outra.
21 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
Um espírito saiu e se apresentou diante de Iavé, e disse: “Eu o seduzirei”.
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!’
Yahweh disse a ele, “Como? Ele disse: “Vou sair e serei um espírito mentiroso na boca de todos os seus profetas”. Ele disse: “Você o seduzirá e também prevalecerá”. Saia e faça isso”.
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, portanto, eis que Javé pôs um espírito mentiroso na boca de todos estes vossos profetas; e Javé falou mal de vós”.
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 Zedequias, filho de Chenaaná, aproximou-se e bateu na bochecha de Micaías, e disse: “Para que lado o Espírito de Javé foi de mim para falar com você?
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]!”
Micaiah disse: “Eis que você verá naquele dia quando entrar em uma sala interior para se esconder”.
26 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
O rei de Israel disse: “Pegue Micaías e leve-o de volta para Amon, o governador da cidade, e para Joás, o 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!”
Diz: “O rei diz: “Ponham este homem na prisão e alimentem-no com pão de aflição e com água de aflição, 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]!”
Micaiah disse: “Se você retornar em paz, Yahweh não falou por mim”. Ele disse: “Ouçam, todos vocês!”
29 So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
Então o rei de Israel e Jeosafá, o rei de Judá, subiram para Ramoth 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.
O rei de Israel disse a Jeosafá: “Eu me disfarçarei e irei para a batalha, mas vocês vestirão suas vestes”. O rei de Israel se disfarçou e foi para a batalha.
31 The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
Agora o rei da Síria havia comandado os trinta e dois capitães de suas carruagens, dizendo: “Não lute com pequenos ou grandes, exceto apenas com 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,
Quando os capitães das carruagens viram Jehoshaphat, disseram: “Certamente este é o rei de Israel!” e vieram para lutar contra ele. Jehoshaphat gritou.
33 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
Quando os capitães das carruagens viram que não era o rei de Israel, voltaram atrás, deixando de persegui-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!”
Um certo homem desenhou seu arco ao acaso, e atingiu o rei de Israel entre as articulações da armadura. Por isso ele disse ao motorista de sua carruagem: “Vire-se e leve-me para fora da batalha, pois 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.
A batalha aumentou naquele dia. O rei foi apoiado em sua carruagem de frente para os sírios, e morreu à noite. O sangue escorreu da ferida para o fundo da carruagem.
36 Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
Um grito correu por todo o exército sobre o pôr do sol, dizendo: “Cada homem para sua cidade, e cada homem para seu país!
37 So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
Então o rei morreu, e foi trazido para Samaria; e eles enterraram 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.
Lavaram a carruagem junto à piscina de Samaria; e os cães lamberam seu sangue onde as prostitutas se lavaram, de acordo com a palavra de Yahweh que ele falou.
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’.
Agora o resto dos atos de Ahab, e tudo o que ele fez, e a casa de marfim que ele construiu, e todas as cidades que ele construiu, 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.
So Acabe dormiu com seus pais; e Acazias, 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.
Jehoshaphat, 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.
Jehosafá tinha trinta e cinco anos quando começou a reinar; e reinou vinte e cinco anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Azuba, filha de Shilhi.
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.
Ele andou por todo o caminho de Asa, seu pai. Ele não se desviou dele, fazendo o que estava certo aos olhos de Iavé. Entretanto, os lugares altos não foram tirados. O povo ainda sacrificava e queimava incenso nos lugares altos.
44 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
Jehoshaphat fez a 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’.
Now o resto dos atos de Jehoshaphat, e sua força que ele mostrou, e como ele lutou, não estão escritos 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.
O remanescente dos sodomitas, que permaneceu nos dias de seu pai Asa, ele expulsou da terra.
47 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
Não havia rei em Edom. Um deputado governou.
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.
Jehoshaphat fez navios de Tarshish para ir a Ophir em busca de ouro, mas eles não foram, pois os navios naufragaram 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 Acazias, filho de Acabe, disse a Jehoshaphat: “Deixem meus servos irem com seus servos nos navios”. Mas Jehoshaphat não o faria.
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.
Jehoshaphat dormiu com seus pais, e foi enterrado com seus pais na cidade de seu pai David. Jehoram, 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.
Ahaziah o filho de Acabe começou a reinar sobre Israel em Samaria no décimo sétimo ano de Jeosafá, 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].
Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Javé, e caminhou no caminho de seu pai, e no caminho de sua mãe, e no caminho de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, no qual ele fez Israel pecar.
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.
Ele serviu a Baal e o adorou, e provocou Javé, o Deus de Israel, à ira de todas as maneiras que seu pai havia feito.
