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.
Agora Elisha havia falado com a mulher cujo filho ele havia restaurado à vida, dizendo: “Levante-se e vá, você e sua casa, e fique por um tempo onde puder; pois Yahweh chamou por uma fome. 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.
A mulher surgiu, e fez de acordo com a palavra do homem de Deus. Ela foi com sua família, e viveu na terra dos filisteus por 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.
Ao final de sete anos, a mulher voltou da terra dos filisteus. Depois ela saiu para implorar ao rei por sua casa e por sua terra.
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.”
Agora o rei estava conversando com Geazi, o servo do homem de Deus, dizendo: “Por favor, diga-me todas as grandes coisas que Eliseu fez”.
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!”
Enquanto ele contava ao rei como havia restaurado à vida aquele que estava morto, eis que a mulher cujo filho ele havia restaurado à vida implorou ao rei por sua casa e por sua terra. Geazi disse: “Meu senhor, ó rei, esta é a mulher, e este é seu filho, a quem Eliseu ressuscitou”.
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].
Quando o rei perguntou à mulher, ela lhe disse. Então o rei nomeou para ela um certo oficial, dizendo: “Restaure tudo o que era dela, e todos os frutos do campo desde o dia em que ela deixou a terra, mesmo 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,
Elisha veio a Damasco; e Benhadad, o rei da Síria, estava doente. Foi-lhe dito: “O homem de Deus veio 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.”
O rei disse a Hazael: “Pegue um presente em sua mão e vá ao encontro do homem de Deus, e pergunte a Javé por ele, dizendo: 'Será que eu vou me recuperar 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.”
Então Hazael foi ao seu encontro e levou um presente com ele, mesmo de todas as coisas boas de Damasco, o fardo de quarenta camelos, e veio e ficou diante dele e disse: “Seu filho Benhadad, rei da Síria, me enviou a você, dizendo: 'Será que eu vou me recuperar 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].”
Elisha lhe disse: “Vá, diga-lhe: 'Você certamente se recuperará;' entretanto Yahweh me mostrou que ele 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.
Ele fixou seu olhar com firmeza sobre ele, até ficar envergonhado. Então o homem de Deus chorou.
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].”
Hazael disse: “Por que o senhor chora, meu senhor”? Ele respondeu: “Porque eu sei o mal que vocês farão às crianças de Israel”. Vocês incendiarão seus redutos, e matarão seus jovens com a espada, e despedaçarão seus pequeninos, e rasgarão suas mulheres grávidas”.
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.”
Hazael disse: “Mas o que é seu criado, que é apenas um cão, que ele poderia fazer esta grande coisa”? Elisha respondeu: “Yahweh mostrou-me que você será rei sobre a 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 ele partiu de Elisha, e veio até seu mestre, que lhe disse: “O que Elisha lhe disse”? Ele respondeu: “Ele me disse que você certamente se recuperaria”.
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.
No dia seguinte, ele pegou um pano grosso, mergulhou-o na água e o espalhou sobre o rosto do rei, de modo que ele morreu. Então, 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.
No quinto ano de Jorão, filho de Acabe, rei de Israel, Jehosafá sendo então rei de Judá, começou a reinar Jehorão, filho de Jeosafá, rei de Judá.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Ele tinha trinta e dois anos de idade quando começou a reinar. Ele reinou oito anos 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.
Ele andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, assim como a casa de Acabe, pois casou com a filha de Acabe. Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé.
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.
However, Javé não destruiria Judá, por amor de Davi, seu servo, pois prometeu dar-lhe sempre uma lâmpada para seus filhos.
20 During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
Em seus dias, Edom revoltou-se sob a mão de Judá, e fez um rei sobre si mesmo.
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.
Então Joram atravessou para Zair, e todas as suas carruagens com ele; e ele se levantou à noite e atingiu os edomitas que o cercaram com os capitães das carruagens; e o povo fugiu para 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.
Então Edom se revoltou de debaixo da mão de Judá até hoje. Então Libnah se revoltou ao 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 resto dos atos de Jorão, e tudo o que ele fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis 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.
Jorão dormiu com seus pais, e foi enterrado com seus pais na cidade de Davi; e Acazias, 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 décimo segundo ano de Jorão, filho de Acabe, rei de Israel, Acazias, filho de Jeorão, rei de Judá, começou a reinar.
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.
Acazias tinha vinte e dois anos quando começou a reinar; e reinou um ano em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Atalia, filha de Onri, 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.
Ele andou no caminho da casa de Acabe e fez o que era mau aos olhos de Javé, assim como a casa de Acabe, pois ele era genro da casa de Acabe.
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.
Ele foi com Joram, filho de Ahab, para a guerra contra Hazael, rei da Síria, em Ramoth Gilead, e os sírios feriram Joram.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
O rei Joram voltou para ser curado em Jezreel das feridas que os sírios lhe fizeram em Ramah, quando ele lutou contra Hazael, rei da Síria. Acazias, filho de Jeorão, rei de Judá, desceu para ver Jorão, filho de Acabe, em Jezreel, porque estava doente.
