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.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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 held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.
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 breeder; and he supplied the king of Israel with one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
5 Succedeu porém que, morrendo Achab, se rebellou o rei dos moabitas contra o rei de Israel.
But when Ahab was dead, 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.
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.
He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said, “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8 E elle disse: Por que caminho subiremos? Então disse elle: Pelo caminho do deserto d'Edom.
Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” Jehoram 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 with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals 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.
The king of Israel said, “Alas! For the LORD has 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, “Isn’t there a prophet of the LORD here, that we may enquire of the LORD by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”
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.
Jehoshaphat said, “The LORD’s word 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.
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No, for the LORD has 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.
Elisha said, “As the LORD of Armies lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards you, nor see you.
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 musician.” When the musician played, the LORD’s hand came on him.
16 E disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Fazei n'este valle muitas covas;
He said, “The LORD says, ‘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 the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.
18 E ainda isto é pouco aos olhos do Senhor: tambem entregará elle os moabitas nas vossas mãos.
This is an easy thing in the LORD’s sight. 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.
You shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs 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.
In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came 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 had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armour, young and old, 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.
They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite 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!
They said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!”
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.
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking 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.
They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it and attacked 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.
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew a sword, to break through to 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 oldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
