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.
Ben Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army together. There were thirty-two lesser kings with him, and horses and chariots. He went up, besieged Samaria and fought against it.
2 E enviou á cidade mensageiros, a Achab, rei de Israel.
He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, “Ben Hadad says this:
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.
'Your silver and your gold are mine. Also your wives and children, the best ones, are now 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.
The king of Israel answered and said, “It is as you say, my master, king. I and all that I have are yours.”
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;
The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says this, 'I sent word to you saying that you must give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
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 you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and your servants' houses. They will seize with their own hands and take away whatever pleases their eyes.'”
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 together and said, “Please take note and see how this man seeks trouble. He has sent word to me in order to take my wives, children, and silver and gold, and I have not refused him.”
8 E todos os anciãos e todo o povo lhe disseram: Não lhe dês ouvidos, nem consintas.
All the elders and all the people said to Ahab, “Do not listen to him or consent to his demands.”
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.
So Ahab said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my master the king, 'I agree to everything that you sent your servant to do the first time, but I cannot accept this second demand.'” So the messengers left and took this response to Ben Hadad.
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.
Then Ben Hadad sent his reply to Ahab, and said, “May the gods do so to me and more also, if even the ashes of Samaria will be enough for all the people who follow me to have a handful each.”
11 Porém o rei de Israel respondeu, e disse: Dizei-lhe: Não se gabe quem se cinge, como aquelle que se descinge.
The king of Israel answered and said, “Tell Ben Hadad, 'No one who is just putting on his armor, should boast as if he were taking 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.
Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings under him who were in their tents. Ben Hadad commanded his men, “Line yourselves up in position for battle.” So they prepared themselves in position of battle to attack 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.
Then behold, a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel and said, “Yahweh says, 'Have you seen this great army? Look, I will place it into your hand today, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
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
Ahab replied, “By whom?” Yahweh replied and said, “By the young officers who serve the governors of the districts.” Then Ahab said, “Who will begin the battle?” Yahweh answered, “You.”
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 Ahab mustered the young officers who served the governors of the districts. They numbered 232. After them he mustered all the soldiers, all the army of Israel; seven thousand in number.
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.
They went out at noon. Ben Hadad had been drinking himself drunk in his tent, he and the thirty-two lesser kings who were supporting 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.
The young officers who served the governors of the districts went forward first. Then Ben Hadad was informed by scouts that he had sent out, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
18 E elle disse: Ainda que para paz saissem, tomae-os vivos: e ainda que á peleja saissem, vivos os tomae.
Ben Hadad said, “Whether they have come out for peace or war, take them alive.”
19 Sairam pois da cidade os moços dos principes das provincias, e o exercito que os seguia.
So the young officers who served the governors of the districts went out of the city and the army 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.
Each man killed his opponent. The Arameans fled and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse along with some horsemen.
21 E saiu o rei de Israel, e feriu os cavallos e os carros: e feriu os syros com grande estrago.
Then the king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans in 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
So the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and understand and plan what you are doing, because at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you again.”
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!
The servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills. That is why they were stronger than we were. But now let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.
24 Faze pois isto: tira os reis, cada um do seu logar, e põe capitães em seu logar.
So you must do this: Remove all the kings from their positions of authority and replace them with military commanders.
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.
Raise up an army like the army you lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight them in the plain. Then surely we will be stronger than they are.” So Ben Hadad listened to their advice and did what they advised.
26 E succedeu que, passado um anno, Ben-hadad fez revista dos syros, e subiu a Afek, para pelejar contra Israel.
After the beginning of the new year, Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans 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.
The people of Israel were mustered and supplied to fight against them. The people of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the countryside.
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.
Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, “Yahweh says: 'Because the Arameans have said that Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys, I will place this great army into your hand, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
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.
So the armies camped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle started. The people of Israel killed 100,000 Aramean 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.
The rest fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner room.
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
Ben Hadad's servants said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your 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 put sackcloth on their waists and ropes around their heads and then went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad said, 'Please let me live.'” Ahab said, “Is he still 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 were listening for any sign from Ahab, so they quickly answered him, “Yes, your brother Ben Hadad is alive.” Then Ahab said, “Go and bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came to him, and Ahab had him come up into his 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.
Ben Hadad said to Ahab, “I will restore to you the cities that my father took from your father, and you may make markets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” Ahab replied, “I will let you go with this covenant.” So Ahab made a covenant with him and then 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.
A certain man, one of the sons of the prophets, said to one of his fellow prophets by the word of Yahweh, “Please hit me.” But the man refused to hit 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 the prophet said to his fellow prophet, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as that man had left him, a lion came upon 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 the prophet found another man and said, “Please hit me.” So the man hit him and wounded him.
38 Então foi o propheta, e poz-se perante o rei no caminho: e disfarçou-se com cinza sobre os seus olhos.
Then the prophet left and waited for the king by the road; he had disguised himself with a bandage 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.
As the king passed by, the prophet cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the heat of the battle, and a soldier stopped and brought a man to me and said, 'Watch this man. If by any means he goes missing, your life will be given for his life, or you must 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.
But because your servant was busy going here and there, the man escaped.” Then the king of Israel said to him, “This is what your punishment will be—you yourself 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.
Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized that he was one 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.
The prophet said to the king, “Yahweh says, 'Because you have let go from your hand the man whom I had sentenced to death, your life will take the place of his life, and your people for his people.'”
43 E foi-se o rei de Israel a sua casa, desgostoso e indignado: e veiu a Samaria.
So the king of Israel went to his house resentful and angry, and arrived in Samaria.
