2 Kings 1
1 After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
E depois da morte de Achab, Moab se rebelou contra Israel.
2 One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
E caiu Achazias pelas grades dum quarto alto, que tinha em Samaria, e adoeceu: e enviou mensageiros, e disse-lhes: Ide, e perguntai a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron, se sararei desta doença.
3 But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
Mas o anjo do Senhor disse a Elias tesbita: Levanta-te, sobe para encontrar-te com os mensageiros do rei de Samaria: e dize-lhes: Porventura não há Deus em Israel, que vades consultar a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron?
4 Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
E por isso assim diz o Senhor; Da cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas sem falta morrerás. Então Elias partiu.
5 [So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
E os mensageiros voltaram para ele; e ele lhes disse: Que há, que voltastes?
6 They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
E eles lhe disseram: Um homem nos saiu ao encontro, e nos disse: Ide, voltai para o rei que vos mandou, e dizei-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não há Deus em Israel, para que mandes consultar a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron? Portanto da cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas sem falta morrerás.
7 The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
E ele lhes disse: Qual era o trajo do homem que vos veio ao encontro e vos falou estas palavras?
8 They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
E eles lhe disseram: Um homem era vestido de pelos, e com os lombos cingidos dum cinto de couro. Então disse ele: É Elias, o tesbita.
9 Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
Então lhe enviou um capitão de cincoênta: e, subindo a ele, (porque eis que estava assentado no cume do monte), disse-lhe: Homem de Deus, o rei diz: Desce.
10 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
Mas Elias respondeu, e disse ao capitão de cincoênta: Se eu pois sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e te consuma a ti e aos teus cincoênta. Então fogo desceu do céu, e o consumiu a ele e aos seus cincoênta.
11 [When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
E tornou a enviar-lhe outro capitão de cincoênta, com os seus cincoênta; este lhe falou, e disse: Homem de Deus, assim diz o rei: Desce depressa.
12 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
E respondeu Elias, e disse-lhe: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e te consuma a ti e aos teus cincoênta. Então fogo de Deus desceu do céu, e o consumiu a ele e aos seus cincoênta.
13 [When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
E tornou a enviar outro capitão dos terceiros cincoênta, com os seus cincoênta: então subiu o capitão de cincoênta, e veio, e pôs-se de joelhos diante de Elias, e suplicou-lhe, e disse-lhe: Homem de Deus, seja, peço-te, preciosa aos teus olhos a minha vida, e a vida destes cincoênta teus servos.
14 [We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
Eis que fogo desceu do céu, e consumiu aqueles dois primeiros capitães de cincoênta, com os seus cincoênta: porém agora seja preciosa aos teus olhos a minha vida.
15 Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them to the king.
Então o anjo do Senhor disse a Elias: Desce com este, não temas. E levantou-se, e desceu com ele ao rei.
16 [When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’”
E disse-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porque enviaste mensageiros a consultar a Baal-zebub, deus de Ekron? Porventura é porque não há Deus em Israel, para consultar a sua palavra? portanto desta cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas certamente morrerás.
17 So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
Assim pois morreu, conforme à palavra do Senhor, que Elias falara; e Jorão começou a reinar no seu lugar no ano segundo de Jehorão, filho de Josaphat rei de Judá: porquanto não tinha filho.
18 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
O mais dos feitos de Achazias, que tinha feito, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
