2 Reis 13
1 No ano vinte e três de Joás, filho d'Achazias, rei de Judá, começou a reinar Joachaz, filho de Jehu, sobre Israel, em Samaria, e reinou dezesete anos.
After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
2 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor; porque seguiu os pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez pecar a Israel; não se apartou deles.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
3 Pelo que a ira do Senhor se acendeu contra Israel: e deu-os na mão de Hazael, rei da Síria, e na mão de Ben-hadad, filho de Hazael, todos aqueles dias.
So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
4 Porém Joachaz suplicou diante da face do Senhor: e o Senhor o ouviu; pois viu a opressão de Israel, porque os oprimia o rei da Síria.
Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
5 E o Senhor deu um salvador a Israel, e sairam de debaixo das mãos dos siros: e os filhos de Israel habitaram nas suas tendas, como de antes.
Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
6 (contudo não se apartaram dos pecados da casa de Jeroboão, que fez pecar a Israel; porém ele andou neles: e também o bosque ficou em pé em Samaria.)
But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
7 Porque não deixou a Joachaz mais povo, senão só cincoênta cavaleiros, e dez carros, e dez mil homens de pé: porquanto o rei da Síria os tinha destruído e os tinha feito como o pó, trilhando-os.
Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
8 Ora o mais dos sucessos de Joachaz, e tudo quanto fez mais, e o seu poder, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
9 E Joachaz dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram em Samaria: e Jehoás, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
10 No ano trinta e sete de Joás, rei de Judá, começou a reinar Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, sobre Israel, em Samaria, e reinou dezeseis anos.
Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
11 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: não se apartou de nenhum dos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez pecar a Israel, porém andou neles.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
12 Ora o mais dos sucessos de Jehoás, e tudo quanto fez mais, e o seu poder, com que pelejou contra Amasias, rei de Judá, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
13 E Jehoás dormiu com seus pais, e Jeroboão se assentou no seu trono: e Jehoás foi sepultado em Samaria, junto aos reis de Israel.
When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
14 E Eliseo estava doente da sua doença de que morreu: e Jehoás, rei de Israel, desceu a ele, e chorou sobre o seu rosto, e disse: Meu pai, meu pai, o carro de Israel, e seus cavaleiros!
Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
15 E Eliseo lhe disse: Toma um arco e flechas. E tomou um arco e flechas.
Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
16 Então disse ao rei de Israel: Põe a tua mão sobre o arco. E pôs sobre ele a sua mão; e Eliseo pôs as suas mãos sobre as mãos do rei.
Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
17 E disse: Abre a janela para o oriente. E abriu-a. Então disse Eliseo: Atira. E atirou; e disse: A flecha do livramento do Senhor é a flecha do livramento contra os siros; porque ferirás os siros em Afek, até os consumir.
Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
18 Disse mais: Toma as flechas. E tomou-as. Então disse ao rei de Israel: Fere a terra. E feriu-a três vezes, e cessou.
Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
19 Então o homem de Deus se indignou muito contra ele, e disse: Cinco ou seis vezes a deverias ter ferido: então feririas os siros até os consumir: porém agora só três vezes ferirás os siros
But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
20 Depois morreu Eliseo, e o sepultaram. Ora as tropas dos moabitas invadiram a terra à entrada do ano.
Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
21 E sucedeu que, enterrando eles um homem, eis que viram uma tropa, e lançaram o homem na sepultura de Eliseo: e, caindo nela o homem, e tocando os ossos de Eliseo, reviveu, e se levantou sobre os seus pés.
One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
22 E Hazael, rei da Síria, oprimiu a Israel todos os dias de Jehoás.
King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
23 Porém o Senhor teve misericórdia deles, e se compadeceu deles, e tornou para eles, por amor do seu concerto em Abraão, Isaac e Jacob: e não os quis destruir, e não os lançou ainda da sua presença.
But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
24 E morreu Hazael, rei da Síria: e Ben-hadad, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
25 E Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, tornou a tomar as cidades das mãos de Ben-hadad, que ele tinha tomado das mãos de Joachaz, seu pai, na guerra: três vezes Jehoás o feriu, e recuperou as cidades de Israel.
[The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
