2 Crônicas 18

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

And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.

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 he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab killed for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.

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 Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Will you go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [are] you, as your people, [so] also [is] my people with you for the war.

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

And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray you, the Lord today.

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 the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.

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

And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him?

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 Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat said, Let not the king say so.

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

And the king called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.

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.

And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of 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.

And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall thrust Syria until it be consumed.

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 so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and you shall prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands 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.

And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray you, your words be as [the words] of one of them, and do you speak good things.

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

And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will 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.

And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and you shall prosper, and they shall be given 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 to him, How often shall I solemnly charge you that you speak to me nothing but truth 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.

And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace.

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 Josaphat, Said I not to you, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but 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.

But he said, Not so. Hear you the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his 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 Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.

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

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?

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 said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, You shall deceive [him], and shall 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.

And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against 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 Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to you?

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

And Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go from chamber to chamber to hide yourself.

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.

And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, the king's son;

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 said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the water of affliction, 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 Michaias said, If you do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all you people.

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

So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.

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 Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do you put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.

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 commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, 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 it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God 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.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from 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.

And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn your hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am 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 battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.
