2 Kings 9
1 Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
Elisha o profeta chamou um dos filhos dos profetas e lhe disse: “Ponha seu cinto na cintura, pegue este frasco de óleo em sua mão e vá até Ramoth Gilead.
2 When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
Quando você chegar lá, encontre Jehu, filho de Jeosafá, filho de Nimshi, e entre e faça-o levantar-se do meio de seus irmãos, e leve-o para uma sala interior.
3 and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
Depois pegue o frasco de óleo e despeje-o sobre sua cabeça, e diga: 'Yahweh diz: “Eu te ungi rei sobre Israel'”. Depois, abra a porta, fuja e não espere”.
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
So o jovem, o jovem profeta, foi para Ramoth Gilead.
5 When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
Quando ele chegou, eis que os capitães do exército estavam sentados. Então ele disse: “Eu tenho uma mensagem para você, capitão”. Jehu disse: “Para qual de nós?” Ele disse: “A você, ó capitão”.
6 So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
Ele se levantou, e entrou em casa. Então derramou o óleo em sua cabeça e disse-lhe: “Javé, o Deus de Israel, diz: 'Eu te ungi rei sobre o povo de Javé, até mesmo sobre Israel'.
7 You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
Você deve golpear a casa de seu senhor Ahab, para que eu possa vingar o sangue de meus servos, os profetas, e o sangue de todos os servos de Iavé, às mãos de Jezabel”.
8 You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
Pois toda a casa de Ahab perecerá. Cortarei de Ahab todos os que urinarem contra um muro, tanto aquele que estiver calado como aquele que for deixado em liberdade em Israel.
9 I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
Farei a casa de Ahab como a casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, e como a casa de Baasha, filho de Ahijah.
10 And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
Os cães comerão Jezebel no terreno de Jezreel, e não haverá ninguém para enterrá-la'”. Então ele abriu a porta e fugiu.
11 When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
Quando Jehu se dirigiu aos servos de seu senhor e um lhe disse: “Está tudo bem? Por que este louco veio até você”? Ele lhes disse: “Vocês conhecem o homem e como ele fala”.
12 They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
Eles disseram: “Isso é uma mentira. Diga-nos agora”. Ele disse: “Ele me disse: 'Javé diz, eu te ungi rei sobre Israel'”.
13 Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
Então eles se apressaram, e cada homem pegou seu manto, colocou-o debaixo dele no topo das escadas e tocou a trombeta, dizendo: “Jehu é rei”.
14 King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
Então Jehu, filho de Jehoshaphat, filho de Nimshi, conspirou contra Jorão. (Agora Jorão estava defendendo Ramoth Gilead, ele e todo Israel, por causa de Hazael, rei da Síria;
mas o rei Jorão tinha voltado para ser curado em Jezreel das feridas que os sírios lhe fizeram quando ele lutou com Hazael, rei da Síria). Jehu disse: “Se este é seu pensamento, então não deixe ninguém escapar e saia da cidade para ir contar em Jezreel”.
16 Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
Então Jehu montou em uma carruagem e foi para Jezreel, pois Joram estava deitado lá. Ahaziah, rei de Judá, tinha descido para ver Jorão.
17 A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
Agora o vigia estava de pé na torre em Jezreel, e ele espiou a companhia de Jehu quando chegou, e disse: “Eu vejo uma companhia”. Joram disse: “Pegue um cavaleiro e envie ao seu encontro, e deixe-o dizer: 'É paz?
18 So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
Então um foi a cavalo para conhecê-lo e disse: “O rei diz: 'É a paz? Jehu disse: “O que você tem a ver com a paz? Caiam atrás de mim”! O vigilante disse: “O mensageiro veio até eles, mas ele não vai voltar”.
19 So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
Então ele enviou um segundo a cavalo, que veio até eles e disse: “O rei diz: 'É a paz? Jehu respondeu: “O que você tem a ver com a paz? Caiam atrás de mim”!
20 Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
O vigilante disse: “Ele veio até eles, e não vai voltar. A condução é como a condução do Jehu, filho de Nimshi, pois ele conduz furiosamente”.
21 Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
Joram disse: “Prepare-se!” Eles têm sua carruagem pronta. Então Jorão, rei de Israel, e Acazias, rei de Judá, saíram, cada um em sua carruagem; e saíram ao encontro de Jeú, e o encontraram na terra de Nabot, o jizreelita.
22 When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
Quando Jorão viu Jeú, ele disse: “É paz, Jeú?”. Ele respondeu: “Que paz, enquanto a prostituição de sua mãe Jezebel e sua bruxaria abundarem”?
23 Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
Joram virou as mãos e fugiu, e disse a Acazias: “Isto é traição, Acazias!
24 But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
Jehu desenhou seu arco com toda sua força, e atingiu Joram entre seus braços; e a flecha saiu em seu coração, e ele afundou em sua carruagem.
25 Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
Então Jehu disse a Bidkar, seu capitão: “Pegue-o e jogue-o na trama do campo de Naboth, o Jezreelita; pois lembre-se como, quando você e eu cavalgamos juntos depois de Ahab, seu pai, Yahweh colocou este fardo sobre ele:
26 ‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
'Certamente vi ontem o sangue de Naboth, e o sangue de seus filhos', diz Yahweh; 'e eu lhe retribuirei nesta trama de terra', diz Yahweh. Agora, portanto, pegue-o e jogue-o na trama de terra, de acordo com a palavra de Javé”.
27 When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
Mas quando Acazias o rei de Judá viu isto, fugiu pelo caminho da casa do jardim. Jehu o seguiu, e disse: “Atinjam-no também na carruagem”! Eles o atingiram na subida de Gur, que é por Ibleam. Ele fugiu para Megiddo, e morreu lá.
28 His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
Seus servos o levaram em uma carruagem para Jerusalém e o enterraram em sua tumba com seus pais na cidade de Davi.
29 Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
No décimo primeiro ano de Jorão, filho de Acabe, Acazias começou a reinar sobre Judá.
30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
Quando Jehu chegou a Jezreel, Jezebel ouviu falar; pintou os olhos, enfeitou a cabeça e olhou pela janela.
31 While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
Quando Jehu entrou pelo portão, ela disse: “Você vem em paz, Zimri, seu assassino de seu mestre?
32 Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
Ele levantou o rosto para a janela, e disse: “Quem está do meu lado? Quem está do meu lado?”. Dois ou três eunucos olharam para ele.
33 Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
Ele disse: “Joguem-na no chão”! Então eles a jogaram no chão; e parte do sangue dela foi aspergida na parede e nos cavalos. Então ele a pisoteou.
34 Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
Quando ele entrou, comeu e bebeu. Então ele disse: “Veja agora esta mulher amaldiçoada e enterre-a, pois ela é filha de um rei”.
35 But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
Eles foram enterrá-la, mas não encontraram mais dela do que o crânio, os pés e as palmas das mãos dela.
36 When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
Portanto, eles voltaram e lhe disseram. Ele disse: “Esta é a palavra de Javé, que ele falou por seu servo Elias, o tishbite, dizendo: 'Os cães comerão a carne de Jezebel no lote de Jezreel,
37 Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
e o corpo de Jezebel será como esterco na superfície do campo na terra de Jezreel, para que não digam: “Isto é Jezebel””.
