2 Reis 18

1 E succedeu que, no terceiro anno de Hoseas, filho de Ela, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Ezequias, filho de Achaz, rei de Judah.

And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Hezekiah, the son of Achaz the king of Judah, became king.

2 Tinha vinte e cinco annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e vinte e nove annos reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Abi, filha de Zacharias.

Twenty and five years old was he when he became king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.

3 E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizera David, seu pae.

And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that David his father had done.

4 Este tirou os altos, e quebrou as estatuas, e deitou abaixo os bosques, e fez em pedaços a serpente de metal que Moysés fizera; porquanto até áquelle dia os filhos d'Israel lhe queimavam incenso, e lhe chamaram Nehustan.

He it was that removed the high-places, and broke the statues, and cut down the groves, and stamped in pieces the copper serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days were the children of Israel burning incense to it; and he called it Nechushtan.

5 No Senhor Deus d'Israel confiou, de maneira que depois d'elle não houve seu similhante entre todos os reis de Judah, nem entre os que foram antes d'elle.

In the Lord the God of Israel did he trust; and after him there was not his like among all the kings of Judah, nor among those that were before him.

6 Porque se chegou ao Senhor, não se apartou de após elle, e guardou os mandamentos que o Senhor tinha dado a Moysés.

And he adhered to the Lord, and turned not away from following him; but he kept his commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.

7 Assim foi o Senhor com elle; para onde quer que saiu se conduzia com prudencia: e se rebellou contra o rei da Assyria, e não o serviu.

And the Lord was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

8 Elle feriu os philisteos até Gaza, como tambem os termos d'ella, desde a torre dos atalaias até á cidade forte.

He it was that smote the Philistines, as far as Gazzah, and its territory, from the tower of the watchmen up to the fortified city.

9 E succedeu, no quarto anno do rei Ezequias (que era o setimo anno de Hoseas, filho de Ela, rei d'Israel), que Salmanasar, rei d'Assyria, subiu contra Samaria, e a cercou.

And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Shalmanesser the king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

10 E a tomaram ao fim de tres annos, no anno sexto d'Ezequias, que era o anno nono de Hoseas, rei d'Israel, quando tomaram Samaria.

And they captured it at the end of three years, —in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea' the king of Israel, was Samaria captured.

11 E o rei d'Assyria transportou a Israel para a Assyria: e os fez levar a Halah e a Habor, junto ao rio de Gozan, e ás cidades dos medos;

And the king of Assyria led away Israel as exiles unto Assyria, and transported them to Chalach and to Chabor, by the river of Gozan, and to the cities of Media;

12 Porquanto não obedeceram á voz do Senhor seu Deus, antes traspassaram o seu concerto; e tudo quanto Moysés, servo do Senhor, tinha ordenado, nem o ouviram nem o fizeram.

Because they had not obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, but had transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded; and had not obeyed, nor done accordingly.

13 Porém no anno decimo quarto do rei Ezequias subiu Sanherib, rei d'Assyria, contra todas as cidades fortes de Judah, e as tomou.

And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib the king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seized on them.

14 Então Ezequias, rei de Judah, enviou ao rei d'Assyria, a Lachis, dizendo: Pequei; torna-te de mim; tudo o que me impozeres levarei. Então o rei d'Assyria impoz a Ezequias, rei de Judah, trezentos talentos de prata e trinta talentos de oiro.

And Hezekiah the king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have sinned; retire from me: what thou wilt impose on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah the king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

15 Assim deu Ezequias toda a prata que se achou na casa do Senhor e nos thesouros da casa do rei.

And Hezekiah gave up all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.

16 N'aquelle tempo cortou Ezequias o oiro das portas do templo do Senhor, e das hombreiras, de que Ezequias, rei de Judah, as cobrira, e o deu ao rei d'Assyria.

At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the door-sills which Hezekiah the king of Judah had overlaid, and gave the same to the king of Assyria.

17 Comtudo enviou o rei d'Assyria a Tartan, e a Rabsaris, e a Rabsaké, de Lachis, com um grande exercito ao rei Ezequias, a Jerusalem: e subiram, e vieram a Jerusalem; e, subindo e vindo elle, pararam ao pé do aqueducto da piscina superior, que está junto ao caminho do campo do lavandeiro.

And the king of Assyria sent Tharthan and Rub-sariss and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a strong army against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem; and when they were come up, they came and halted by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the washer's field.

18 E chamaram o rei, e saiu a elles Eliakim, filho de Hilkias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joah, filho d'Asaph, o chanceler.

And they called for the king, when there came out to them Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder.

19 E Rabsaké lhes disse: Ora dizei a Ezequias: Assim diz o grande rei, o rei d'Assyria: Que confiança é esta em que confias?

And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherewith thou hast trusted?

20 Dizes tu (porém palavra de beiços é): Ha conselho e poder para a guerra. Em quem pois agora confias, que contra mim te rebellas?

Thou saidst, but it was only a word uttered with the lips, [I have] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom didst thou trust, that thou rebelledst against me?

21 Eis que agora tu confias n'aquelle bordão de cana quebrada, no Egypto, no qual, se alguem se encostar, entrar-lhe-ha pela mão e lh'a furará: assim é Pharaó, rei do Egypto, para com todos os que n'elle confiam.

Now, behold, thou trustedst thee upon yon cracked reed-staff, upon Egypt, which, if a man lean on it, will enter into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

22 Se porém me disserdes: No Senhor nosso Deus confiamos: porventura não é este aquelle cujos altos e cujos altares Ezequias tirou, e disse a Judah e a Jerusalem: Perante este altar vos inclinareis em Jerusalem?

But if ye should say unto me, In the Lord our God have we trusted: is he not the one whose high-places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, when he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar shall ye prostrate yourselves in Jerusalem?

23 Ora pois dá agora refens ao meu senhor, o rei da Assyria, e dar-te-hei dois mil cavallos, se tu poderes dar cavalleiros para elles.

And now, I pray thee, enter into a contest with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

24 Como pois farias virar o rosto d'um só principe dos menores servos de meu senhor? Porém tu confias no Egypto, por causa dos carros e cavalleiros.

How then wilt thou turn back the face of a single chieftain among the least of my master's servants, while thou hast put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!

25 Agora pois subi eu porventura sem o Senhor contra este logar, para o destruir? O Senhor me disse: Sobe contra esta terra, e destroe-a.

Now am I come up without the Lord ['s will] against this place to destroy it? The Lord hath said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

26 Então disse Eliakim, filho de Hilkias, e Sebna, e Joah, a Rabsaké: Rogamos-te que falles aos teus servos em syriaco; porque bem o entendemos; e não nos falles em judaico, aos ouvidos do povo que está em cima do muro.

Then said Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, and Shebnah, and Yoach, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jewish language before the ears of the people that are on the wall.

27 Porém Rabsaké lhes disse: Porventura mandou-me meu senhor só a teu senhor e a ti, para fallar estas palavras? e não antes aos homens, que estão sentados em cima do muro, para que juntamente comvosco comam o seu esterco e bebam a sua urina?

But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master then sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? is it not rather to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own excrement, and drink their own urine with you?

28 Rabsaké pois se poz em pé, e clamou em alta voz em judaico, e fallou, e disse: Ouvi a palavra do grande rei, do rei da Assyria.

Then stood Rabshakeh up and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, and said, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

29 Assim diz o rei: Não vos engane Ezequias; porque não vos poderá livrar da sua mão;

Thus hath said the king. Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand;

30 Nem tão pouco vos faça Ezequias confiar no Senhor, dizendo: Certamente nos livrará o Senhor, e esta cidade não será entregue na mão do rei da Assyria.

Neither let Hezekiah induce you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria:

31 Não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque assim diz o rei da Assyria: Contratae comigo por presentes, e sahi a mim, e coma cada um da sua vide, e da sua figueira, e beba cada um a agua da sua cisterna,

Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus hath said the king of Assyria, Make a treaty of peace with me, and come out to me, and eat ye every man of his own vine, and every man of his fig-tree, and drink ye every man the waters of his cistern;

32 Até que eu venha, e vos leve para uma terra como a vossa, terra de trigo e de mosto, terra de pão e de vinhas, terra de oliveiras, de azeite, e de mel; e assim vivereis, e não morrereis: e não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque vos incita, dizendo: O Senhor nos livrará.

Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil-olive trees, and of honey, that ye may live, and not die; and hearken not unto Hezekiah; for he will mislead you, saying, The Lord will deliver us.

33 Porventura os deuses das nações poderam livrar, cada um a sua terra, das mãos do rei da Assyria?

Have the gods of the nations delivered in anywise each his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 Que é feito dos deuses de Hamath e de Arpad? Que é feito dos deuses de Sepharvaim, Hena e Iva? porventura livraram a Samaria da minha mão?

Where are the gods of Chamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvayim, Hena', and 'Ivvah? have they then delivered Samaria out of my hand?

35 Quaes são elles, d'entre todos os deuses das terras, que livraram a sua terra da minha mão? para que o Senhor livrasse a Jerusalem da minha mão?

Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

36 Porém calou-se o povo, e não lhe respondeu uma só palavra; porque mandado do rei havia, dizendo: Não lhe respondereis.

But the people remained silent, and answered him not a word; for it was the king's command, saying, Ye shall not answer him.

37 Então Eliakim, filho d'Hilkias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joah, filho de Asaph, o chanceler, vieram a Ezequias com os vestidos rasgados, e lhe fizeram saber as palavras de Rabsaké.

Then came Elyakim the son of Chilkiyah, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent; and they told unto him the words of Rabshakeh.
