2 Reis 8
1 E fallou Eliseo áquella mulher cujo filho vivificara, dizendo: Levanta-te, e vae-te, tu e a tua familia, e peregrina onde poderes peregrinar; porque o Senhor chamou a fome, a qual tambem virá á terra por sete annos.
After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
2 E levantou-se a mulher, e fez conforme a palavra do homem de Deus: porque foi ella com a sua familia, e peregrinou na terra dos philisteos sete annos.
So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
3 E succedeu que, ao cabo dos sete annos, a mulher voltou da terra dos philisteos, e saiu a clamar ao rei pela sua casa e pelas suas terras.
After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
4 Ora o rei fallava a Geazi, moço do homem de Deus, dizendo: Conta-me, peço-te, todas as grandes obras que Eliseo tem feito.
When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 E succedeu que, contando elle ao rei como vivificara a um morto, eis que a mulher cujo filho vivificara clamou ao rei pela sua casa e pelas suas terras: então disse Geazi: Ó rei meu senhor, esta é a mulher, e este o seu filho a quem Eliseo vivificou.
While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
6 E o rei perguntou á mulher, e ella lh'o contou: então o rei lhe deu um eunucho, dizendo: Faze-lhe restituir tudo quanto era seu, e todas as rendas das terras desde o dia em que deixou a terra até agora.
When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
7 Depois veiu Eliseo a Damasco, estando Benhadad, rei da Syria, doente; e lh'o annunciaram, dizendo: O homem de Deus é chegado aqui.
Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
8 Então o rei disse a Hazael: Toma um presente na tua mão, e vae a encontrar-te com o homem de Deus; e pergunta por elle ao Senhor, dizendo: Hei de eu sarar d'esta doença?
the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
9 Foi pois Hazael a encontrar-se com elle, e tomou um presente na sua mão, a saber: de todo o bom de Damasco, quarenta camelos carregados; e veiu, e se poz diante d'elle, e disse: Teu filho Benhadad, rei da Syria, me enviou a ti, a dizer: Sararei eu d'esta doença?
So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
10 E Eliseo lhe disse: Vae, e dize-lhe: Certamente não sararás. Porque o Senhor me tem mostrado que certamente morrerá.
Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
11 E affirmou a sua vista, e fitou os olhos n'elle até se envergonhar: e chorou o homem de Deus.
Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
12 Então disse Hazael: Porque chora, meu senhor? E elle disse: Porque sei o mal que has de fazer aos filhos d'Israel: porás fogo ás suas fortalezas, e os seus mancebos matarás á espada, e os seus meninos despedaçarás, e as suas prenhadas fenderás.
Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
13 E disse Hazael: Pois que é teu servo, que não é mais do que um cão, para fazer tão grande coisa? E disse Eliseo: O Senhor me tem mostrado que tu has de ser rei da Syria.
Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
14 Então partiu de Eliseo, e veiu a seu senhor, o qual lhe disse: Que te disse Eliseo? E disse elle: Disse-me que certamente sararás.
Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
15 E succedeu ao outro dia que tomou um cobertor, e o molhou na agua, e o estendeu sobre o seu rosto, e morreu: e Hazael reinou em seu logar.
But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
16 E no anno quinto de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei de Israel, reinando ainda Josaphat em Judah, começou a reinar Jehorão, filho de Josaphat, rei de Judah.
After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
17 Era elle da edade de trinta e dois annos quando começou a reinar, e oito annos reinou em Jerusalem.
He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 E andou no caminho dos reis d'Israel, como tambem fizeram os da casa de Achab, porque tinha por mulher a filha de Achab, e fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
19 Porém o Senhor não quiz destruir a Judah por amor de David, seu servo, como lhe tinha dito que lhe daria para sempre uma lampada a seus filhos.
But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
20 Nos seus dias se rebellaram os edomitas de debaixo do mando de Judah, e pozeram sobre si um rei.
During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
21 Pelo que Jehorão passou a Zair, e todos os carros com elle: e elle se levantou de noite, e feriu os edomitas que estavam ao redor d'elle, e os capitães dos carros; e o povo se foi para as suas tendas.
So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
22 Todavia os edomitas ficaram rebeldes de debaixo do mando de Judah até ao dia de hoje: então tambem se rebellou Libna no mesmo tempo.
So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
23 O mais dos successos de Jehorão, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas de Judah?
[If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
24 E Jehorão dormiu com seus paes, e foi sepultado com seus paes na cidade de David: e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
25 No anno doze de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei d'Israel, começou a reinar Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judah.
After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
26 Era Achazias de vinte e dois annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou um anno em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Athalia, filha de Omri, rei d'Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
27 E andou no caminho da casa de Achab, e fez mal aos olhos do Senhor, como a casa de Achab, porque era genro da casa de Achab.
King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
28 E foi com Jorão, filho de Achab, a Ramoth de Gilead, á peleja contra Hazael, rei da Syria; e os syros feriram a Jorão.
Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
29 Então se voltou o rei Jorão para se curar em Jizreel das feridas que os syros lhe fizeram em Rama, quando pelejou contra Hazael, rei da Syria: e desceu Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judah, para ver a Jorão, filho de Achab, em Jizreel, porquanto estava doente.
King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
