2 Crônicas 18

1 Tinha pois Josaphat riquezas e gloria em abundancia: e aparentou-se com Achab.

Therefore, Jehoshaphat was wealthy and very famous, and he was joined by affinity to Ahab.

2 E ao cabo d'alguns annos desceu elle para Achab a Samaria; e Achab matou ovelhas e bois em abundancia, para elle e para o povo que vinha com elle: e o persuadiu a subir com elle a Ramoth-gilead.

And after some years, he descended to him in Samaria. And upon his arrival, Ahab slaughtered very many sheep and oxen, for him and for the people who had arrived with him. And he persuaded him that he should ascend against Ramoth Gilead.

3 Porque Achab, rei d'Israel, disse a Josaphat rei de Judah: Irás tu commigo a Ramoth-gilead? e elle lhe disse: Como tu és, serei eu; e o meu povo, como o teu povo; seremos comtigo n'esta guerra.

And Ahab, the king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, “Come with me to Ramoth Gilead.” And he answered him: “As I am, so also are you. As your people are, so also are my people. And we will be with you in war.”

4 Disse mais Josaphat ao rei d'Israel: Consulta hoje, peço-te, a palavra do Senhor.

And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Consult, I beg you, the word of the Lord for the present circumstances.”

5 Então o rei d'Israel ajuntou os prophetas, quatrocentos homens, e disse-lhes: Iremos á guerra contra Ramoth-gilead, ou deixal-o-hei? E elles disseram: Sobe; porque Deus a dará na mão do rei

And so the king of Israel gathered together four hundred men of the prophets, and he said to them: “Should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” But they said, “Ascend, and God will deliver into the hand of the king.”

6 Disse porém Josaphat: Não ha ainda aqui propheta algum do Senhor, para que o consultemos?

And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord here, so that we may inquire of him as well?”

7 Então o rei d'Israel disse a Josaphat: Ainda ha um homem por quem podemos consultar ao Senhor; porém eu o aborreço; porque nunca prophetiza de mim bem, senão sempre mal; este é Micha, filho de Imla. E disse Josaphat: Não falle o rei assim

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “There is one man, from whom we would be able to ask the will of the Lord. But I hate him, for he never prophesies good to me, but at all times evil. And it is Micaiah, the son of Imlah.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this manner, O king.”

8 Então chamou o rei d'Israel um eunucho, e disse: Traze aqui depressa a Micha filho de Imla.

Therefore, the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: “Quickly, summon Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”

9 E o rei d'Israel, e Josaphat rei de Judah estavam assentados cada um no seu throno, vestidos de vestiduras, e estavam assentados na praça á entrada da porta de Samaria, e todos os prophetas prophetizavam na sua presença.

Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were both sitting upon their thrones, clothed in royal vestments. And they were sitting in an open area, beside the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying before them.

10 E Zedekias, filho de Canana, fez para si uns cornos de ferro, e disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Com estes escornearás aos syros, até de todo os consumires.

Truly, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said: “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you crush it.”

11 E todos os prophetas prophetizavam o mesmo, dizendo: Sobe a Ramoth-gilead, e prosperarás; porque o Senhor a dará na mão do rei.

And all the prophets prophesied similarly, and they said: “Ascend against Ramoth Gilead, and you shall prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the hand of the king.”

12 E o mensageiro, que foi chamar a Micha, lhe fallou, dizendo: Eis-que as palavras dos prophetas, a uma bocca, são boas para com o rei: seja pois tambem a tua palavra como a d'um d'elles, e falla o que é bom.

Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him: “Lo, the words of all the prophets, with one mouth, announce good to the king. Therefore, I ask you that you not dissent from them in your word, and that you speak prosperity.”

13 Porém Micha disse: Vive o Senhor, que o que meu Deus me disser, isso fallarei.

And Micaiah responded to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever my God will say to me, the same shall I speak.”

14 Vindo pois ao rei, o rei lhe disse: Micha, iremos a Ramoth-gilead á guerra, ou deixal-o-hei? E elle disse: Subi, e prosperareis; e serão dados na vossa mão.

Therefore, he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” And he responded to him: “Ascend. For everything will come to prosperity, and the enemies will be delivered into your hands.”

15 E o rei lhe disse: Até quantas vezes te conjurarei, para que me não falles senão a verdade no nome do Senhor?

And the king said, “Again and again, I bind you by an oath, so that you will not speak to me except what is true in the name of the Lord!”

16 Então disse elle: Vi a todo o Israel disperso pelos montes, como ovelhas que não teem pastor: e disse o Senhor: Estes não teem senhor; torne cada um em paz para sua casa.

Then he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered amid the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no masters. Let each one return in peace to his own house.’”

17 Então o rei d'Israel disse a Josaphat: Não te disse eu, que este não prophetizaria de mim bem, porém mal

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that this one would not prophesy to me anything good, but only what is evil?”

18 Disse mais: Pois ouvi a palavra do Senhor: Vi ao Senhor assentado no seu throno, e a todo o exercito celestial em pé á sua mão direita, e á sua esquerda.

Then he said: “Therefore, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, on the right and on the left.

19 E disse o Senhor: Quem persuadirá a Achab rei d'Israel, a que suba, e caia em Ramoth-gilead? disse mais: Um diz d'esta maneira, e outro diz d'outra.

And the Lord said: ‘Who will deceive Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And when one spoke in one way, and another in another way,

20 Então saiu um espirito e se apresentou diante do Senhor, e disse: Eu o persuadirei. E o Senhor lhe disse: Com que?

there came forward a spirit, and he stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will deceive him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘In what way will you deceive him?’

21 E elle disse: Eu sairei, e serei um espirito de mentira na bocca de todos os seus prophetas. E disse o Senhor: Tu o persuadirás, e tambem prevalecerás; sae, e faze-o assim.

And he responded, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive and prevail. Go forth and do so.’

22 Agora pois, eis que o Senhor enviou um espirito de mentira na bocca d'estes teus prophetas: e o Senhor fallou o mal a teu respeito.

Therefore now, behold: the Lord gave a lying spirit to the mouth of all your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil about you.”

23 Então Zedekias, filho de Canana, se chegou, e feriu a Micha no queixo; e disse: Porque caminho passou de mim o Espirito do Senhor para fallar a ti?

Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, approached, and he struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said: “In what way did the Spirit of the Lord depart from me, so that he would speak to you?”

24 E disse Micha: Eis que o verás n'aquelle dia, quando andares de camara em camara, para te esconderes.

And Micaiah said: “You yourself shall see it, in that day, when you will enter a room within a room, so that you may be hidden.”

25 Então disse o rei d'Israel; Tomae a Micha, e tornae a leval-o a Amon, o governador da cidade, e a Joás filho do rei.

Then the king of Israel instructed, saying: “Take Micaiah, and lead him to Amon, the leader of the city, and to Joash, the son of Amalech.

26 E direis: Assim diz o rei: Mettei este homem na casa do carcere; e sustentae-o com pão de angustia, e com agua d'angustia, até que eu volte em paz.

And you shall say: ‘Thus says the king: Send this man to prison, and give to him a little bread and a little water, until I return in peace.’”

27 E disse Micha: Se é que tornares em paz, o Senhor não tem fallado por mim. Disse mais: Ouvi, povos todos!

And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “May all the people listen.”

28 Subiram pois o rei d'Israel e Josaphat rei de Judah, a Ramoth-gilead.

And so, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended against Ramoth Gilead.

29 E disse o rei d'Israel a Josaphat: Disfarçando-me eu, então entrarei na peleja; tu porém veste as tuas vestiduras. Disfarçou-se pois o rei d'Israel, e entraram na peleja.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “I will change my clothing, and in this way I will go into battle. But you should be clothed in your own garments.” And the king of Israel, having changed his clothing, went to war.

30 Deu ordem porém o rei da Syria aos capitães dos carros que tinha, dizendo: Não pelejareis nem contra pequeno, nem contra grande: senão só contra o rei d'Israel.

Now the king of Syria had instructed the commanders of his horsemen, saying, “You shall not fight against the least or the greatest, but only against the king of Israel.”

31 Succedeu pois que, vendo os capitães dos carros a Josaphat, disseram: Este é o rei d'Israel, e o cercaram para pelejarem; porém Josaphat clamou, e o Senhor o ajudou. E Deus os desviou d'elle.

And so, when the leaders of the horsemen had seen Jehoshaphat, they said, “This one is the king of Israel.” And while fighting, they surrounded him. But he cried out to the Lord, and he assisted him, and he turned them away from him.

32 Porque succedeu que, vendo os capitães dos carros, que não era o rei d'Israel, tornaram de seguil-o.

For when the commanders of the horsemen had seen that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.

33 Então um homem armou o arco na sua simplicidade, e feriu o rei d'Israel entre as junturas e a couraça: então disse ao carreteiro: Vira a tua mão, e tira-me do exercito, porque estou mui ferido.

Then it happened that one of the people shot an arrow indiscriminately, and it struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulder. And so he said to his chariot driver: “Turn your hand, and lead me away from the battle line. For I have been wounded.”

34 E aquelle dia cresceu a peleja, mas o rei d'Israel susteve-se em pé no carro defronte dos syros até á tarde; e morreu ao tempo do pôr do sol

And the fight ended on that day. But the king of Israel was standing in his chariot facing the Syrians, even until evening. And he died when the sun set.
