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:

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up the sons of Ahab, saying:

2 Logo, em chegando a vós esta carta, pois estão convosco os filhos de vosso senhor, como também os carros, e os cavalos, e a cidade fortalecida, e as armas,

'And 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, fortified cities also, and armour;

3 Olhai pelo melhor e mais reto dos filhos de vosso senhor, o qual ponde sobre o trono de seu pai, e pelejai pela casa de vosso senhor.

look ye out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.'

4 Porém eles temeram muitíssimo, e disseram: Eis que dois reis não puderam parar diante dele: como pois poderemos nós resistir-lhe?

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: 'Behold, the 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 ninguém poremos rei: faze o que for bom aos teus olhos.

And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that 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 man king; do thou that which is good in thine eyes.'

6 Então segunda vez lhe escreveu outra carta, dizendo: Se sois meus, e ouvirdes a minha voz, tomai as cabeças dos homens, filhos de vosso senhor, e amanhã, 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 be on my side, and if ye will hearken unto 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 Sucedeu pois que, chegada a eles a carta, tomaram os filhos do rei, e os mataram, setenta homens: e puseram as suas cabeças em uns cestos, e lhas mandaram a Jizreel.

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel.

8 E um mensageiro veio, e lhe anunciou dizendo: Trouxeram as cabeças dos filhos do rei. E ele disse: Ponde-as em dois montões à entrada da porta, até amanhã.

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 sucedeu que pela manhã, saindo ele, 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 smote all these?

10 Sabei pois agora que, da palavra do Senhor, que o Senhor falou contra a casa de Achab, nada cairá em terra, porque o Senhor tem feito o que falou pelo ministério de seu servo Elias.

Know now that there shall fall unto 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 Também Jehu feriu a todos os restantes da casa de Achab em Jizreel, como também a todos os seus grandes, e os seus conhecidos, e seus sacerdotes, até que nenhum lhe deixou ficar de resto.

So Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until there was 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 went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,

13 Jehu achou os irmãos de Achazias, rei de Judá, e disse: Quem sois vós? E eles 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 salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.'

14 Então disse ele: apanhai-os vivos. E eles os apanharam vivos, e os mataram junto ao poço de Beth-eked, quarenta e dois homens; e a nenhum deles 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 dali, encontrou a Jonadab, filho de Recab, que lhe vinha ao encontro, o qual saudou e lhe disse: reto 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 fê-lo subir consigo ao carro.

And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him: 'Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?' And Jehonadab answered: 'It is.' 'If it be, said Jehu, give me thy hand.' And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

16 E disse: vai comigo, e verás o meu zelo para com o Senhor. E o puseram 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 smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word 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 unto them: 'Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

19 Pelo que chamai-me agora todos os profetas de Baal, todos os seus servos e todos os seus sacerdotes; não falte nenhum, porque tenho um grande sacrifício a Baal; todo aquele que faltar não viverá. Porém Jehu fazia isto com astúcia, para destruir os servos de Baal.

Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests, let none be wanting; for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live.' But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 Disse mais Jehu: consagrai a Baal uma assembléia solemne. E a apregoaram.

And Jehu said: 'Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal.' And they proclaimed it.

21 Também Jehu enviou por todo o Israel: e vieram todos os servos de Baal, e nenhum homem deles ficou que não viesse: e entraram na casa de Baal, e encheu-se a casa de Baal, dum 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 filled from one end to another.

22 Então disse ao que tinha cargo das vestimentas: Tira as vestimentas para todos os servos de Baal. E ele lhes tirou para fora as vestimentas.

And he said unto 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: examinai, e vede bem, que porventura nenhum dos servos do Senhor aqui haja convosco, senão somente os servos de Baal.

And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said unto the worshippers of Baal: 'Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.'

24 E, entrando eles a fazerem sacrifícios e holocaustos, Jehu preparou da parte de fora oitenta homens, e disse-lhes: Se escapar algum dos homens que eu entregar em vossas mãos, a vossa vida será pela vida dele.

And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him fourscore men without, and said: 'If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, his life shall be for the life of him.'

25 E sucedeu que, acabando de fazer o holocausto, disse Jehu aos da sua guarda, e aos capitães: entrai, feri-os, não escape nenhum. E os feriram ao fio da espada; e os da guarda e os capitães os lançaram fora, e se foram à cidade, à casa de Baal.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of 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 estátuas da casa de Baal, e as queimaram.

And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.

27 Também quebraram a estátua de Baal: e derrubaram a casa de Baal, e fizeram dela latrinas, até ao dia de hoje.

And they broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto 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 pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez pecar a Israel, a saber: dos bezerros de ouro, que estavam em Bethel e em Dan.

Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.

30 Pelo que disse o Senhor a Jehu: Porquanto bem obraste em fazer o que é reto aos meus olhos e, conforme tudo quanto eu tinha no meu coração, se fizesse à casa de Achab, teus filhos até à quarta geração se assentarão no trono de Israel.

And the LORD said unto Jehu: 'Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in Mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in My heart, thy sons 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 pecados de Jeroboão, que fez pecar a Israel.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

32 Naqueles dias começou o Senhor a diminuir os termos de Israel; porque Hazael os feriu em todas as fronteiras de Israel,

In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short; and Hazael smote them in all the borders 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 de Arnon, a saber, Gilead, e Basan.

from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

34 Ora o mais dos sucessos de Jehu, e tudo quanto fez, e todo o seu poder, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas de 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 pais, e o sepultaram em Samaria: e Joachaz, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

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 anos.

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