2 Kings 8
1 After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
E falou Eliseo àquela mulher cujo filho vivificara, dizendo: Levanta-te, e vai-te, tu e a tua família, e peregrina onde poderes peregrinar; porque o Senhor chamou a fome, a qual também virá à terra por sete anos.
2 So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
E levantou-se a mulher, e fez conforme a palavra do homem de Deus: porque foi ela com a sua família, e peregrinou na terra dos philisteus sete anos.
3 After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
E sucedeu que, ao cabo dos sete anos, a mulher voltou da terra dos philisteus, e saiu a clamar ao rei pela sua casa e pelas suas terras.
4 When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
Ora o rei falava a Geazi, moço do homem de Deus, dizendo: Conta-me, peço-te, todas as grandes obras que Eliseo tem feito.
5 While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
E sucedeu que, contando ele ao rei como vivificara a um morto, eis que a mulher cujo filho vivificara clamou ao rei pela sua casa e pelas suas terras: então disse Geazi: Ó rei meu senhor, esta é a mulher, e este o seu filho a quem Eliseo vivificou.
6 When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
E o rei perguntou à mulher, e ela lho contou: então o rei lhe deu um eunuco, dizendo: Faze-lhe restituir tudo quanto era seu, e todas as rendas das terras desde o dia em que deixou a terra até agora.
7 Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
Depois veio Eliseo a Damasco, estando Benhadad, rei da Síria, doente; e lho anunciaram, dizendo: O homem de Deus é chegado aqui.
8 the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
Então o rei disse a Hazael: Toma um presente na tua mão, e vai a encontrar-te com o homem de Deus; e pergunta por ele ao Senhor, dizendo: Hei de eu sarar desta doença?
9 So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
Foi pois Hazael a encontrar-se com ele, e tomou um presente na sua mão, a saber: de todo o bom de Damasco, quarenta camelos carregados; e veio, e se pôs diante dele, e disse: Teu filho Benhadad, rei da Síria, me enviou a ti, a dizer: Sararei eu desta doença?
10 Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
E Eliseo lhe disse: vai, e dize-lhe: Certamente não sararás. Porque o Senhor me tem mostrado que certamente morrerá.
11 Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
E afirmou a sua vista, e fitou os olhos nele até se envergonhar: e chorou o homem de Deus.
12 Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
Então disse Hazael: Porque chora, meu senhor? E ele disse: Porque sei o mal que as de fazer aos filhos de Israel: porás fogo às suas fortalezas, e os seus mancebos matarás à espada, e os seus meninos despedaçarás, e as suas prenhadas fenderás.
13 Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
E disse Hazael: Pois que é teu servo, que não é mais do que um cão, para fazer tão grande coisa? E disse Eliseo: O Senhor me tem mostrado que tu as de ser rei da Síria.
14 Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
Então partiu de Eliseo, e veio a seu senhor, o qual lhe disse: Que te disse Eliseo? E disse ele: Disse-me que certamente sararás.
15 But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
E sucedeu ao outro dia que tomou um cobertor, e o molhou na água, e o estendeu sobre o seu rosto, e morreu: e Hazael reinou em seu lugar.
16 After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
E no ano quinto de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei de Israel, reinando ainda Josaphat em Judá, começou a reinar Jehorão, filho de Josaphat, rei de Judá.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Era ele da idade de trinta e dois anos quando começou a reinar, e oito anos reinou em Jerusalém.
18 His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
E andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, como também fizeram os da casa de Achab, porque tinha por mulher a filha de Achab, e fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
19 But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
Porém o Senhor não quis destruir a Judá por amor de David, seu servo, como lhe tinha dito que lhe daria para sempre uma lâmpada a seus filhos.
20 During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
Nos seus dias se rebelaram os edomitas de debaixo do mando de Judá, e puseram sobre si um rei.
21 So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
Pelo que Jehorão passou a Zair, e todos os carros com ele: e ele se levantou de noite, e feriu os edomitas que estavam ao redor dele, e os capitães dos carros; e o povo se foi para as suas tendas.
22 So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
Todavia os edomitas ficaram rebeldes de debaixo do mando de Judá até ao dia de hoje: então também se rebelou Libna no mesmo tempo.
23 [If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
O mais dos sucessos de Jehorão, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas de Judá?
24 Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
E Jehorão dormiu com seus pais, e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de David: e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
25 After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
No ano doze de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judá.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
Era Achazias de vinte e dois anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou um ano em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Athalia, filha de Omri, rei de Israel.
27 King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
E andou no caminho da casa de Achab, e fez mal aos olhos do Senhor, como a casa de Achab, porque era genro da casa de Achab.
28 Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
E foi com Jorão, filho de Achab, a Ramoth de Gilead, à peleja contra Hazael, rei da Síria; e os siros feriram a Jorão.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
Então se voltou o rei Jorão para se curar em Jizreel das feridas que os siros lhe fizeram em Rama, quando pelejou contra Hazael, rei da Síria: e desceu Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judá, para ver a Jorão, filho de Achab, em Jizreel, porquanto estava doente.
