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:

And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab’s children, 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 cometh to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armour;

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.

Choose the best and most fit of your master’s sons, and 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, Behold, two kings stood not 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.

And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thy 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 ye are mine, and if ye will hearken to my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow 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.

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and slew 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.

And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye 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?

And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew 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 there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath 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 slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsmen, and his priests, 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,

And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in 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 brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go 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.

And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he 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.

And when he had departed from there, he came upon Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he greeted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it is, give me thy hand. And 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.

And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they 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.

And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained to Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying 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.

And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall 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 his servants, and all his priests; let none be missing: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whoever shall be missing, he shall not live. But Jehu did it deceitfully, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

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

And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And 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.

And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full 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.

And he said to him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

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.

And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and see 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.

And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed eighty men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth 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.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote 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.

And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.

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

And they broke down the image of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a place of refuse 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.

Yet from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, that is, 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.

And the LORD said to Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, thy children 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 God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who 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 parts of Israel: and Hazael smote them in all the land 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 Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river 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, are they not 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.

And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

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

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
