1 Reis 20
1 E Ben-hadad, rei da Syria, ajuntou todas as suas forças: e trinta e dois reis, e cavallos e carros havia com elle: e subiu, e cercou a Samaria, e pelejou contra ella.
And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together. And there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 E enviou á cidade mensageiros, a Achab, rei de Israel.
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-hadad,
3 E disse-lhe: Assim diz Ben-hadad: A tua prata e o teu oiro são meus; e tuas mulheres e os melhores de teus filhos são meus.
Thy silver and thy gold is mine, thy wives also and thy sons, even the best, are mine.
4 E respondeu o rei de Israel, e disse: Conforme a tua palavra, ó rei meu senhor, teu sou eu, e tudo quanto tenho.
And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all that I have.
5 E tornaram a vir os mensageiros, e disseram: Assim falla Ben-hadad, dizendo: Ainda que eu te mandei dizer: Tu me has de dar a tua prata, e o teu oiro, e as tuas mulheres e os teus filhos;
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying, I indeed sent to thee, saying, Thou shall deliver to me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons.
6 Todavia ámanhã a estas horas enviarei os meus servos a ti, e esquadrinharão a tua casa, e as casas dos teus servos: e ha de ser que tudo o que fôr aprazivel aos teus olhos o metterão nas suas mãos, e o levarão.
But I will send my servants to thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
7 Então o rei de Israel chamou a todos os anciãos da terra, e disse: Notae agora, e vêde como este busca mal; pois enviara a mim por minhas mulheres, e por meus filhos, e pela minha prata, e pelo meu oiro, e não lh'o neguei.
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeks mischief, for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I did not deny him.
8 E todos os anciãos e todo o povo lhe disseram: Não lhe dês ouvidos, nem consintas.
And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do thou not hearken, nor consent.
9 Pelo que disse aos mensageiros de Ben-hadad: Dizei ao rei, meu senhor: Tudo o que primeiro mandaste pedir a teu servo, farei, porém isto não posso fazer. E foram os mensageiros, e lhe tornaram a dar esta resposta.
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou sent for to thy servant at the first I will do, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
10 E Ben-hadad enviou a elle, e disse: Assim me façam os deuses, e outro tanto, que o pó de Samaria não bastará para encher as mãos de todo o povo que me segue.
And Ben-hadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
11 Porém o rei de Israel respondeu, e disse: Dizei-lhe: Não se gabe quem se cinge, como aquelle que se descinge.
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him who girds on his armor boast himself as he who puts it off.
12 E succedeu que, ouvindo elle esta palavra, estando bebendo elle e os reis nas tendas, disse aos seus servos: Ponde-vos em ordem contra a cidade.
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
13 E eis que um propheta se chegou a Achab rei de Israel, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Viste toda esta grande multidão? eis que hoje t'a entregarei nas tuas mãos, para que saibas que eu sou o Senhor.
And, behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus says Jehovah, Have thou seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day, and thou shall know that I am Jehovah.
14 E disse Achab: Por quem? E elle disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Pelos moços dos principes das provincias. E disse: Quem começará a peleja? E disse: Tu
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says Jehovah, By the young men of the rulers of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, Thou.
15 Então contou os moços dos principes das provincias, e foram duzentos e trinta e dois: e depois d'elles contou a todo o povo, todos os filhos de Israel, sete mil.
Then he mustered the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. And after them he mustered all the people, even all the sons of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 E sairam ao meio dia: e Ben-hadad estava bebendo e embriagando-se nas tendas, elle e os reis, os trinta e dois reis, que o ajudavam.
And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17 E os moços dos principes das provincias sairam primeiro: e Ben-hadad enviou a alguns, que lhe deram avisos, dizendo: Sairam de Samaria uns homens.
And the young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out from Samaria.
18 E elle disse: Ainda que para paz saissem, tomae-os vivos: e ainda que á peleja saissem, vivos os tomae.
And he said, Whether they come out for peace, take them alive, or whether they come out for war, take them alive.
19 Sairam pois da cidade os moços dos principes das provincias, e o exercito que os seguia.
So these went out of the city, the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
20 E elles feriram cada um o seu homem, e os syros fugiram, e Israel os perseguiu: porém Ben-hadad, rei da Syria, escapou a cavallo, com alguns cavalleiros.
And they killed everyone his man. And the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. And Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 E saiu o rei de Israel, e feriu os cavallos e os carros: e feriu os syros com grande estrago.
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Então o propheta chegou-se ao rei de Israel e lhe disse: Vae, esforça-te, e attenta, e olha o que has de fazer; porque no decurso d'um anno o rei da Syria subirá contra ti
And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself. And mark, and see what thou do, for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
23 Porque os servos do rei da Syria lhe disseram: Seus deuses são deuses dos montes, por isso foram mais fortes do que nós: mas pelejemos com elles em campo raso, e por certo, veremos, se não somos mais fortes do que elles!
And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their god is a god of the hills, therefore they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 Faze pois isto: tira os reis, cada um do seu logar, e põe capitães em seu logar.
And do this thing: Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
25 E numera outro exercito, como o exercito que caiu de ti, e cavallos como aquelles cavallos, e carros como aquelles carros, e pelejemos com elles em campo raso, e veremos se não somos mais fortes do que elles! E deu ouvidos á sua voz, e assim fez.
And number thee an army, like the army that thou have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. And we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
26 E succedeu que, passado um anno, Ben-hadad fez revista dos syros, e subiu a Afek, para pelejar contra Israel.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
27 Tambem dos filhos d'Israel se fez revista, e providos de viveres marcharam contra elles; e os filhos de Israel acamparam-se defronte d'elles, como dois pequenos rebanhos de cabras; mas os syros enchiam a terra.
And the sons of Israel were mustered, and were supported, and went against them. And the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids, but the Syrians filled the country.
28 E chegou o homem de Deus, e fallou ao rei de Israel, e disse: Assim diz o Senhor; Porquanto os syros disseram: O Senhor é Deus dos montes, e não Deus dos valles: toda esta grande multidão entregarei nas tuas mãos: para que saibas que eu sou o Senhor.
And a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus says Jehovah, Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys, therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
29 E sete dias estiveram estes acampados defronte dos outros: e succedeu ao setimo dia que a peleja começou, e os filhos de Israel feriram dos syros cem mil homens de pé, n'um dia.
And they encamped one opposite the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined. And the sons of Israel killed of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 E os restantes fugiram a Afek, á cidade; e caiu o muro sobre vinte e sete mil homens, que restaram: Ben-hadad porém fugiu, e veiu á cidade, andando de camara em camara.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31 Então lhe disseram os seus servos: Eis que já temos ouvido que os reis da casa de Israel são reis clementes: ponhamos pois saccos aos lombos, e cordas ás cabeças, e saiamos ao rei de Israel; pode ser que guarde em vida a tua alma
And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will save thy life.
32 Então cingiram saccos aos lombos e cordas ás cabeças, e vieram ao rei de Israel, e disseram: Diz o teu servo Ben-hadad: Deixa-me viver. E disse elle: Pois ainda vive? é meu irmão.
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad says, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? He is my brother.
33 E aquelles homens tomaram isto por bom presagio, e apressaram-se em apanhar a sua palavra, e disseram: Teu irmão Ben-hadad vive. E elle disse: Vinde, trazei-m'o. Então Ben-hadad saiu a elle, e elle o fez subir ao carro.
Now the men observed diligently whether anything would come from him. And they quickly caught it, and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him, and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 E disse elle: As cidades que meu pae tomou de teu pae t'as restituirei, e faze para ti ruas em Damasco, como meu pae as fez em Samaria. E eu, respondeu Achab, te deixarei ir com esta alliança. E fez com elle alliança e o deixou ir.
And Ben-hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore, and thou shall make streets for thee in Damascus as my father made in Samaria. And I, said Ahab, will let thee go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
35 Então um dos homens dos filhos dos prophetas disse ao seu companheiro, pela palavra do Senhor: Ora fere-me. E o homem recusou feril-o.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said by the word of Jehovah to his fellow, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
36 E elle lhe disse: Porque não obedeceste á voz do Senhor, eis que, em te apartando de mim, um leão te ferirá. E, como d'elle se apartou, um leão o encontrou e o feriu.
Then said he to him, Because thou have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, behold, as soon as thou are departed from me, a lion shall kill thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him.
37 Depois encontrou outro homem, e disse-lhe: Ora fere-me. E feriu-o aquelle homem, ferindo-o e vulnerando-o.
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, smiting and wounding him.
38 Então foi o propheta, e poz-se perante o rei no caminho: e disfarçou-se com cinza sobre os seus olhos.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39 E succedeu que, passando o rei, clamou elle ao rei, e disse: Teu servo saiu ao meio da peleja, e eis que, desviando-se um homem, me trouxe outro homem, e disse: Guarda-me este homem; se vier a faltar, será a tua vida em logar da vida d'elle, ou pagarás um talento de prata.
And as the king passed by, he cried out to the king, and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle, and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Keep this man. If by any means he is missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shall pay a talent of silver.
40 Succedeu pois que, estando o teu servo occupado d'uma e d'outra parte, entretanto desappareceu. Então o rei de Israel lhe disse: Esta é a tua sentença; tu mesmo a pronunciaste.
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall thy judgment be, thyself have decided it.
41 Então elle se apressou, e tirou a cinza de sobre os seus olhos: e o rei de Israel o reconheceu, que era um dos prophetas.
And he hastened, and took the headband away from his eyes, and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42 E disse-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porquanto soltaste da mão o homem que eu havia posto para destruição, a tua vida será em logar da sua vida, e o teu povo em logar do seu povo.
And he said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Because thou have let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
43 E foi-se o rei de Israel a sua casa, desgostoso e indignado: e veiu a Samaria.
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
