2 Reis 10

1 E Achab tinha setenta filhos em Samaria: e Jehu escreveu cartas, e as enviou a Samaria, aos chefes de Jizreel, aos anciãos, e aos aios de Achab, dizendo:

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of the city, even the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying,

2 Logo, em chegando a vós esta carta, pois estão comvosco os filhos de vosso senhor, como tambem os carros, e os cavallos, e a cidade fortalecida, e as armas,

"Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and weapons.

3 Olhae pelo melhor e mais recto dos filhos de vosso senhor, o qual ponde sobre o throno de seu pae, e pelejae pela casa de vosso senhor.

Select the best and fittest of your master's sons, set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house."

4 Porém elles temeram muitissimo, e disseram: Eis que dois reis não poderam parar diante d'elle: como pois poderemos nós resistir-lhe?

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, "Look, the two kings did not stand before him. How then shall we stand?"

5 Então o que tinha cargo da casa, e o que tinha cargo da cidade, e os anciãos, e os aios enviaram a Jehu, dizendo: Teus servos somos, e tudo quanto nos disseres faremos; a ninguem poremos rei: faze o que for bom aos teus olhos.

He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, "We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes."

6 Então segunda vez lhe escreveu outra carta, dizendo: Se sois meus, e ouvirdes a minha voz, tomae as cabeças dos homens, filhos de vosso senhor, e ámanhã, a este tempo vinde a mim a Jizreel (e os filhos do rei, setenta homens, estavam com os grandes da cidade, que os mantinham.)

Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, "If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time." Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

7 Succedeu pois que, chegada a elles a carta, tomaram os filhos do rei, e os mataram, setenta homens: e pozeram as suas cabeças n'uns cestos, e lh'as mandaram a Jizreel.

It happened, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and killed them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.

8 E um mensageiro veiu, e lhe annunciou dizendo: Trouxeram as cabeças dos filhos do rei. E elle disse: Ponde-as em dois montões á entrada da porta, até ámanhã.

A messenger came, and told him, "They have brought the heads of the king's sons." He said, "Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning."

9 E succedeu que pela manhã, saindo elle, parou, e disse a todo o povo: Vós sois justos: eis que eu conspirei contra o meu senhor, e o matei; mas quem feriu a todos estes?

It happened in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, "You are righteous. Look, I conspired against my master, and killed him; but who struck all these?

10 Sabei pois agora que, da palavra do Senhor, que o Senhor fallou contra a casa de Achab, nada cairá em terra, porque o Senhor tem feito o que fallou pelo ministerio de seu servo Elias.

Know now that nothing shall fall to the earth of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah."

11 Tambem Jehu feriu a todos os restantes da casa de Achab em Jizreel, como tambem a todos os seus grandes, e os seus conhecidos, e seus sacerdotes, até que nenhum lhe deixou ficar de resto.

So Jehu struck all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his cohanim, until he left him none remaining.

12 Então se levantou e partiu, e foi a Samaria. E, estando no caminho, em Beth-eked dos pastores,

He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at Beth Eked of the Shepherds on the way,

13 Jehu achou os irmãos de Achazias, rei de Judah, e disse: Quem sois vós? E elles disseram: Os irmãos de Achazias somos; e descemos a saudar os filhos do rei e os filhos da rainha.

Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, "Who are you?" They answered, "We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen."

14 Então disse elle: Apanhae-os vivos. E elles os apanharam vivos, e os mataram junto ao poço de Beth-eked, quarenta e dois homens; e a nenhum d'elles deixou de resto.

He said, "Take them alive." They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He did not leave any of them.

15 E, partindo d'ali, encontrou a Jonadab, filho de Recab, que lhe vinha ao encontro, o qual saudou e lhe disse: Recto é o teu coração, como o meu coração é com o teu coração? E disse Jonadab: É. Então se é, dá-me a mão. E deu-lhe a mão, e fel-o subir comsigo ao carro.

When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, "Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?" Jehonadab answered, "It is." And he said, "If it is, give me your hand." He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

16 E disse: Vae comigo, e verás o meu zelo para com o Senhor. E o pozeram no seu carro.

He said, "Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD." So he made him ride in his chariot.

17 E, chegando a Samaria, feriu a todos os que ficaram de Achab em Samaria, até que o destruiu, conforme a palavra do Senhor, que dissera a Elias.

When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to Elijah.

18 E ajuntou Jehu a todo o povo, e disse-lhe: Pouco serviu Achab a Baal; Jehu porém muito o servirá.

Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, "Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

19 Pelo que chamae-me agora todos os prophetas de Baal, todos os seus servos e todos os seus sacerdotes; não falte nenhum, porque tenho um grande sacrificio a Baal; todo aquelle que faltar não viverá. Porém Jehu fazia isto com astucia, para destruir os servos de Baal.

Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshippers, and all of his priests. Let none be absent; for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live." But Jehu did it in subtlety, intending that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 Disse mais Jehu: Consagrae a Baal uma assembléa solemne. E a apregoaram.

Jehu said, "Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal." They proclaimed it.

21 Tambem Jehu enviou por todo o Israel: e vieram todos os servos de Baal, e nenhum homem d'elles ficou que não viesse: e entraram na casa de Baal, e encheu-se a casa de Baal, d'um lado ao outro.

Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that did not come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.

22 Então disse ao que tinha cargo das vestimentas: Tira as vestimentas para todos os servos de Baal. E elle lhes tirou para fóra as vestimentas.

He said to him who was over the vestry, "Bring out robes for all the worshippers of Baal." He brought robes out to them.

23 E entrou Jehu com Jonadab, filho de Recab, na casa de Baal, e disse aos servos de Baal: Examinae, e vede bem, que porventura nenhum dos servos do Senhor aqui haja comvosco, senão sómente os servos de Baal.

Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshippers of Baal, "Search, and look that there are here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only."

24 E, entrando elles a fazerem sacrificios e holocaustos, Jehu preparou da parte de fóra oitenta homens, e disse-lhes: Se escapar algum dos homens que eu entregar em vossas mãos, a vossa vida será pela vida d'elle.

They went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him eighty men outside, and said, "If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him."

25 E succedeu que, acabando de fazer o holocausto, disse Jehu aos da sua guarda, e aos capitães: Entrae, feri-os, não escape nenhum. E os feriram ao fio da espada; e os da guarda e os capitães os lançaram fóra, e se foram á cidade, á casa de Baal.

It happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, "Go in, and kill them. Let none escape." They struck them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

26 E tiraram as estatuas da casa de Baal, e as queimaram.

They brought out the pillar that was in the house of Baal, and burned it.

27 Tambem quebraram a estatua de Baal: e derrubaram a casa de Baal, e fizeram d'ella latrinas, até ao dia d'hoje.

They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.

28 E assim Jehu destruiu a Baal de Israel.

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29 Porém não se apartou Jehu de seguir os peccados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez peccar a Israel, a saber: dos bezerros d'oiro, que estavam em Bethel e em Dan.

However from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, Jehu did not depart from after them, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

30 Pelo que disse o Senhor a Jehu: Porquanto bem obraste em fazer o que é recto aos meus olhos e, conforme tudo quanto eu tinha no meu coração, se fizesse á casa de Achab, teus filhos até á quarta geração se assentarão no throno de Israel.

The LORD said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your descendants of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel."

31 Mas Jehu não teve cuidado de andar com todo o seu coração na lei do Senhor Deus de Israel, nem se apartou dos peccados de Jeroboão, que fez peccar a Israel.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.

32 N'aquelles dias começou o Senhor a diminuir os termos d'Israel; porque Hazael os feriu em todas as fronteiras d'Israel,

In those days the LORD began to cut off from Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel;

33 Desde o Jordão até ao nascente do sol, a toda a terra de Gilead; os gaditas, e os rubenitas, e os manassitas, desde Aroer, que está junto ao ribeiro d'Arnon, a saber, Gilead, e Basan.

from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the Valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

34 Ora o mais dos successos de Jehu, e tudo quanto fez, e todo o seu poder, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas d'Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

35 E Jehu dormiu com seus paes, e o sepultaram em Samaria: e Joachaz, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.

Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.

36 E os dias que Jehu reinou sobre Israel em Samaria foram vinte e oito annos.

The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
