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 descendants in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, including the elders and the guardians of Ahab's descendants, 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,

“Your master's descendants are with you, and you also have chariots and horses and a fortified city and armor. So then, as soon as this letter comes to you,

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.

select the best and most deserving of your master's descendants and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's royal line.”

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 terrified and said among themselves, “See, the two kings could not stand before Jehu. So how can 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.

Then the man who was in charge of the palace, and the man who was over the city, and the elders also, and they who raised the children, sent word back to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants. We will do everything that you command us. We will not make any man king. Do what is good in your 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 Jehu wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, you must take the heads of the men of your master's descendants, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king's descendants, seventy in number, were with the important men of the city, who were bringing 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.

So when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and killed them, seventy persons, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu in 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.

A messenger came to Jehu, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” So he said, “Put 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?

In the morning Jehu went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are innocent. See, I plotted against my master and killed him, but who killed 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.

Now you should certainly realize that no part of Yahweh's word, the word that he spoke concerning the family of Ahab, will fall to the ground, for Yahweh has done what he spoke about through 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 killed all who remained in the family of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his important men, his close friends, and his priests, until none of them remained.

12 Então se levantou e partiu, e foi a Samaria. E, estando no caminho, em Beth-eked dos pastores,

Then Jehu arose and left; he went to Samaria. As he was arriving at Beth Eked of the shepherd,

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.

he met brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. Jehu said to them, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of Queen Jezebel.”

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.

Jehu said to his own men, “Take them alive.” So they took them alive and killed them at the well of Beth Eked, all forty-two men. He did not leave any of them alive.

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.

When Jehu had left there, he met Jehonadab son of Recab coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart with me, as my heart is with yours?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave Jehu his hand, and Jehu took Jehonadab up with him into the chariot.

16 E disse: vai comigo, e verás o meu zelo para com o Senhor. E o puseram no seu carro.

Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So he had Jonadab ride along with him 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.

When he came to Samaria, Jehu killed all who remained from Ahab's descendants in Samaria, until he had destroyed Ahab's royal line, just as was told them before by the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken to Elijah.

18 E ajuntou Jehu a todo o povo, e disse-lhe: Pouco serviu Achab a Baal; Jehu porém muito o servirá.

Then Jehu gathered all the people together and said to 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 to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers, and all his priests. Let no one be left out, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal. Whoever does not come will not live.” But Jehu did this deceitfully, with the intent to kill the worshipers of Baal.

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

Jehu said, “Set a time to have an assembly for Baal.” So they announced 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.

Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. They came into the temple of Baal, and it 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.

Jehu said to the man who kept the priest's wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal.” So the man brought out robes to them.

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.

So Jehu went with Jehonadab son of Recab into the house of Baal, and he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search and make sure that there is no one here with you from the servants of Yahweh, but the worshipers of Baal alone.”

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.

Then they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had chosen eighty men who were standing outside, and he told them, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escapes, whoever lets that man escape, his life will be taken for the life of the one who escaped.”

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.

So then as soon as Jehu finished offering the burnt offering, he said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them. Let no one come out.” So they killed them with the edge of the sword, and the guard and the captains threw them out and went into the inner room of the house of Baal.

26 E tiraram as estátuas da casa de Baal, e as queimaram.

They dragged out the stone pillars that were in the house of Baal, and they burned them.

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

Then they broke down the pillar of Baal, and destroyed the house of Baal and made it a latrine, which it is to this day.

28 E assim Jehu destruiu a Baal de Israel.

That is how Jehu destroyed Baal worship from 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.

But Jehu did not leave the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he made Israel sin—that is, the worship of the golden calves in Bethel and 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.

So Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing what was right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

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 care to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, by which he made Israel 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 Yahweh began to cut off regions from Israel, and Hazael defeated the Israelites at 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 the Arnon, through Gilead to 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?

As for the other matters concerning Jehu, and all that he did, and all his power, are they not written in the book of the events 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.

Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Then Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

36 E os dias que Jehu reinou sobre Israel em Samaria foram vinte e oito anos.

The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
