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 the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and 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,
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. Your wives also and your children, 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.
The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, 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;
The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver 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 the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will 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, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny 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 him, “Don’t listen, and don’t 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 you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
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.
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
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, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes 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.
When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared 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.
Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then 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 said, “By whom?” He said, “Yahweh says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He 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 he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children 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.
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.
The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “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.
He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have 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 princes 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.
They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. 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.
The king of Israel went out and struck 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
The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
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 Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
24 Faze pois isto: tira os reis, cada um do seu logar, e põe capitães em seu logar.
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.
Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened 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.
At the return of the year, 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.
The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, 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.
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall 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.
They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians 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 on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came 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
His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save 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 bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He 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 observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out 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.
Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you 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.
A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by Yahweh’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike 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 he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed Yahweh’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had 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, “Please strike me.” The man struck 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.
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.
As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you 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.
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment 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.
He hurried, and took the headband away 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.
He said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
43 E foi-se o rei de Israel a sua casa, desgostoso e indignado: e veiu a Samaria.
The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
