2 Reis 3
1 E Jorão, filho de Achab, começou a reinar sobre Israel em Samaria no decimo oitavo anno de Josaphat, rei de Judah: e reinou doze annos.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor; porém não como seu pae, nem como sua mãe; porque tirou a estatua de Baal, que seu pae fizera.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 Comtudo adheriu aos peccados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fizera peccar a Israel; não se apartou d'elles.
Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
4 Então Mesa, rei dos moabitas, era contratante de gado, e pagava ao rei de Israel cem mil cordeiros, e cem mil carneiros com a sua lã.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.
5 Succedeu porém que, morrendo Achab, se rebellou o rei dos moabitas contra o rei de Israel.
But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Por isso Jorão ao mesmo tempo saiu de Samaria, e fez revista de todo o Israel.
And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
7 E foi, e enviou a Josaphat, rei de Judah, dizendo: O rei dos moabitas se rebellou contra mim; irás tu comigo á guerra contra os moabitas? E disse elle: Subirei; e eu serei como tu, o meu povo como o teu povo, e os meus cavallos como os teus cavallos.
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
8 E elle disse: Por que caminho subiremos? Então disse elle: Pelo caminho do deserto d'Edom.
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
9 E partiu o rei de Israel, e o rei de Judah, e o rei de Edom; e andaram rodeando com uma marcha de sete dias, e o exercito, e o gado que os seguia não tinham agua.
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.
10 Então disse o rei de Israel: Ah! que o Senhor chamou a estes tres reis, para os entregar nas mãos dos moabitas.
And the king of Israel said, Alas! for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
11 E disse Josaphat: Não ha aqui algum propheta do Senhor, para que consultemos ao Senhor por elle? Então respondeu um dos servos do rei de Israel, e disse: Aqui está Eliseo, filho de Saphat, que deitava agua sobre as mãos de Elias.
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12 E disse Josaphat: Está com elle a palavra do Senhor. Então o rei de Israel, e Josaphat e o rei de Edom desceram a elle.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Mas Eliseo disse ao rei de Israel: Que tenho eu comtigo? Vae aos prophetas de teu pae e aos prophetas de tua mãe. Porém o rei d'Israel lhe disse: Não, porque o Senhor chamou a estes tres reis para os entregar nas mãos dos moabitas.
And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
14 E disse Eliseo: Vive o Senhor dos Exercitos, em cuja presença estou, que se eu não respeitasse a presença de Josaphat, rei de Judah, não olharia para ti nem te veria.
And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
15 Ora, pois, trazei-me um tangedor. E succedeu que, tangendo o tangedor, veiu sobre elle a mão do Senhor.
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him.
16 E disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Fazei n'este valle muitas covas;
And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.
17 Porque assim diz o Senhor: Não vereis vento, e não vereis chuva; todavia este valle se encherá de tanta agua, que bebereis vós, e o vosso gado e os vossos animaes.
For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.
18 E ainda isto é pouco aos olhos do Senhor: tambem entregará elle os moabitas nas vossas mãos.
And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19 E ferireis a todas as cidades fortes, e a todas as cidades escolhidas, e todas as boas arvores cortareis, e entupireis todas as fontes d'agua, e damnificareis com pedras todos os bons campos.
And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
20 E succedeu que pela manhã, offerecendo-se a offerta de manjares, eis que vinham as aguas pelo caminho d'Edom: e a terra se encheu d'agua.
And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 Ouvindo pois todos os moabitas que os reis tinham subido para pelejarem contra elles, convocaram a todos os que cingiam cinto e d'ahi para cima, e pozeram-se ás fronteiras.
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.
22 E, levantando-se de madrugada, e saindo o sol sobre as aguas, viram os moabitas defronte d'elles as aguas vermelhas como o sangue.
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:
23 E disseram: Isto é sangue; certamente que os reis se destruiram á espada e se mataram um ao outro! agora pois á preza, moabitas!
and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 Porém, chegando elles ao arraial de Israel, os israelitas se levantaram, e feriram os moabitas, os quaes fugiram diante d'elles: e ainda os feriram nas suas terras, ferindo ali tambem os moabitas.
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
25 E arrazaram as cidades, e cada um lançou a sua pedra em todos os bons campos, e os entulharam, e entupiram todas as fontes d'aguas, e cortaram todas as boas arvores, até que só em Kir-hareseth deixaram ficar as pedras, mas os fundeiros a cercaram e a feriram.
And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth [only] they left the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 Mas, vendo o rei dos moabitas que a peleja prevalecia contra elle, tomou comsigo setecentos homens que arrancavam espada, para romperem contra o rei de Edom, porém não poderam.
And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.
27 Então tomou a seu filho primogenito, que havia de reinar em seu logar, e o offereceu em holocausto sobre o muro; pelo que houve grande indignação em Israel: por isso retiraram-se d'elle, e voltaram para a sua terra.
Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
