< 1 Reis 21 >

1 E succedeu depois d'estas coisas, tendo Naboth, o jezreelita uma vinha, que em Jezreel estava junto ao palacio de Achab, rei de Samaria,
And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
2 Que Achab fallou a Naboth, dizen- do: Dá-me a tua vinha, para que me sirva de horta pois está visinha ao pé da minha casa; e te darei por ella outra vinha melhor do que ella: ou, se parece bem aos teus olhos, dar-te-hei a sua valia em dinheiro.
And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
3 Porém Naboth disse a Achab: Guarde-me o Senhor de que eu te dê a herança de meus paes.
And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
4 Então Achab veiu desgostoso e indignado á sua casa, por causa da palavra que Naboth, o jezreelita, lhe fallara, dizendo: Não te darei a herança de meus paes. E deitou-se na sua cama, e voltou o rosto, e não comeu pão.
And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
5 Porém, vindo a elle Jezabel, sua mulher, lhe disse: Que ha, que está tão desgostoso o teu espirito, e não comes pão
and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
6 E elle lhe disse: Porque fallei a Naboth, o jezreelita, e lhe disse: Dá-me a tua vinha por dinheiro; ou, se te apraz, te darei outra vinha em seu logar. Porém elle disse: Não te darei a minha vinha.
smote each one the man next to him; and each one a second time smote the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
7 Então Jezabel, sua mulher lhe disse: Governas tu agora no reino de Israel? levanta-te, come pão, e alegre-se o teu coração: eu te darei a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita.
And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and smote [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
8 Então escreveu cartas em nome de Achab, e as sellou com o seu sinete; e mandou as cartas aos anciãos e aos nobres que havia na sua cidade e habitavam com Naboth.
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen thyself, and observe, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against thee.
9 E escreveu nas cartas, dizendo: Apregoae um jejum, e ponde a Naboth acima do povo.
And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
10 E ponde defronte d'elle dois homens, filhos de Belial, que testemunhem contra elle, dizendo: Blasphemaste contra Deus e contra o rei: e trazei-o fóra, e apedrejae-o para que morra.
And do thou this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
11 E os homens da sua cidade, os anciãos e os nobres que habitavam na sua cidade, fizeram como Jezabel lhes ordenara, conforme estava escripto nas cartas que lhes mandara.
And we will give thee [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
12 Apregoaram um jejum, e pozeram a Naboth acima do povo.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
13 Então vieram dois homens, filhos de Belial, e pozeram-se defronte d'elle; e os homens, filhos de Belial, testemunharam contra elle, contra Naboth, perante o povo, dizendo: Naboth blasphemou contra Deus e contra o rei. E o levaram para fóra da cidade, e o apedrejaram com pedras, e morreu.
And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
14 Então enviaram a Jezabel, dizendo: Naboth foi apedrejado, e morreu.
And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into thy hand, and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord.
15 E succedeu que, ouvindo Jezabel que já fôra apedrejado Naboth, e morrera, disse Jezabel a Achab: Levanta-te, e possue a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita, a qual te recusou dar por dinheiro; porque Naboth não vive, mas é morto.
And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel smote Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
16 E succedeu que, ouvindo Achab, que já Naboth era morto, Achab se levantou, para descer para a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita, para a possuir.
And the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
17 Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Elias, o tesbita, dizendo:
And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
18 Levanta-te, desce para encontrar-te com Achab, rei de Israel, que está em Samaria: eis que está na vinha de Naboth, aonde tem descido para a possuir.
So they girt sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Thy servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray thee. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
19 E fallar-lhe-has, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não mataste e tomaste a herança? Fallar-lhe-has mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: No logar em que os cães lamberam o sangue de Naboth os cães lamberão o teu sangue, o teu mesmo.
And the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Thy brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go ye in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
20 E disse Achab a Elias: Já me achaste, inimigo meu? E elle disse: Achei-te; porquanto já te vendeste para fazeres o que é mau aos olhos do Senhor.
And he said to him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore to thee; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let thee go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
21 Eis que trarei mal sobre ti, e arrancarei a tua posteridade, e arrancarei de Achab a todo o homem, como tambem o encerrado e o desamparado em Israel;
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray, And the man would not smite him.
22 E farei a tua casa como a casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, e como a casa de Baása, filho de Ahias: por causa da provocação, com que me provocaste e fizeste peccar a Israel.
And he said to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as thou departest from me, a lion shall smite thee: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and smote him.
23 E tambem ácerca de Jezabel fallou o Senhor, dizendo: Os cães comerão a Jezabel junto ao antemuro de Jezreel.
And he finds another man, and says, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded [him].
24 Aquelle que de Achab morrer na cidade os cães o comerão: e o que morrer no campo as aves do céu o comerão.
And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
25 Porém ninguem fôra como Achab, que se vendera para fazer o que era máu aos olhos do Senhor: porque Jezabel, sua mulher, o incitava.
And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Thy servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then thy life shall go for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
26 E fez grandes abominações, seguindo os idolos, conforme a tudo o que fizeram os amorrheos, os quaes o Senhor lançou fóra da sua possessão, de diante dos filhos de Israel.
And it came to pass, that thy servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, thou hast also destroyed snares [set] for me.
27 Succedeu pois que Achab, ouvindo estas palavras, rasgou os seus vestidos, e cobriu a sua carne de sacco, e jejuou: e jazia em sacco, e andava mansamente.
And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
28 Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Elias tesbita, dizendo:
And he said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast suffered to escape out of thine hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
29 Não viste que Achab se humilha perante mim? porquanto pois se humilha perante mim, não trarei este mal nos seus dias, mas nos dias de seu filho trarei este mal sobre a sua casa.
And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
