2 Crônicas 18

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

And it came to pass, when Jehoshaphat had riches and honour, in abundance, that he contracted, by marriage, affinity with 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.

So he went down, at the end of some years, unto Ahab, to Samaria, Ahab therefore sacrificed for him, sheep and oxen, in abundance, also for the people whom he had with him, -and then persuaded him to go up 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.

For Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go up with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said unto him—So am I, even as thou, and, like thy people, are my people, and, with thee, in the war.

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

Then said Jehoshaphat, unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, some time to-day, the word of Yahweh.

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

So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go up against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, and may God deliver it into the hand of the king!

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

Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from 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

Then said the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat—There is yet one man, by whom to seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never prophesying, concerning me, anything good—but—all his days—evil, the same, is Micaiah, son of Imla. Then said Jehoshaphat, 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 of Israel called for a certain officer, —and said, Haste, Micaiah son of Imla!

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 king of Judah, were sitting, each upon his throne, clothed in robes, and they were sitting in an 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.

Then did Zedekiah son of Chenaanah make him horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, With these, shalt thou push Syria, until they are 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, were prophesying, so, saying, -Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver [it] 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.

And, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Lo! the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good for the king, —be thy word then, I pray thee, like one of theirs, so wilt thou speak good.

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

Then said Micaiah, —By the life of Yahweh, whatsoever my God shall say, that, must 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.

Now, when he came unto the king, the king said unto him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up and prosper, and may they be delivered into your hand.

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

Then the king said unto him, How many times, must, I, be putting thee on oath, —that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?

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.

So he said, I saw all Israel, scattered upon the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, -and Yahweh said, No masters, have these! let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.

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

Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Said I not unto thee, He wilt not prophesy concerning me anything 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.

Then said he, Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and, all the host of the heavens, standing, on his right hand and 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.

Then said Yahweh, Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth-gilead? And one spake, saying after this manner, and another, saying after that manner.

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

Then came there forth a spirit and stood before Yahweh, and said, I, will persuade him. And Yahweh said unto him, Wherewith?

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 become a spirit of falsehood, in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said—Thou mayest persuade, moreover also, thou shalt 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.

Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of these thy prophets, —but, Yahweh, hath spoken concerning thee—evil.

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 drew near Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, —and said, Which then is the way the spirit of Yahweh passed from me, to speak with thee?

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

Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou shalt see, on that day when thou shalt enter into a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.

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 said the king of Israel, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon ruler of the city, and unto Joash son of the king;

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 ye shall say, Thus, saith the king, Put ye this one into the prison, —and feed him with the bread of oppression, and with the water of oppression, 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!

Then said Micaiah, If thou do, at all return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear! ye peoples, all!

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

Then went up the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, against Ramothgilead.

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 unto Jehoshaphat, [I am about] to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, but, thou, put on thy robes. 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 chariots which he had, saying, Ye shall not fight, with small [or] with great, —save with the king of Israel, alone.

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.

So it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said, The king of Israel, it is. And they compassed him about, to fight, —but Jehoshaphat made outcry, and, Yahweh, helped him, yea God allured 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 so it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing 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.

but, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore 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

But the battle increased on that day, and, the king of Israel, was propping himself up in the chariot before the Syrians, until evening, -and died at the time of the going in of the sun.
