2 Reis 3
1 E Jorão, filho de Achab, começou a reinar sobre Israel em Samaria no décimo oitavo ano de Josaphat, rei de Judá: e reinou doze anos.
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 pai, nem como sua mãe; porque tirou a estátua de Baal, que seu pai 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 Contudo aderiu aos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fizera pecar a Israel; não se apartou deles.
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 Sucedeu porém que, morrendo Achab, se rebelou 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 Judá, dizendo: O rei dos moabitas se rebelou contra mim; irás tu comigo à guerra contra os moabitas? E disse ele: Subirei; e eu serei como tu, o meu povo como o teu povo, e os meus cavalos como os teus cavalos.
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 ele disse: Por que caminho subiremos? Então disse ele: Pelo caminho do deserto de 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 Judá, e o rei de Edom; e andaram rodeando com uma marcha de sete dias, e o exército, e o gado que os seguia não tinham água.
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 três 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 há aqui algum profeta do Senhor, para que consultemos ao Senhor por ele? Então respondeu um dos servos do rei de Israel, e disse: Aqui está Eliseo, filho de Saphat, que deitava água 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 ele a palavra do Senhor. Então o rei de Israel, e Josaphat e o rei de Edom desceram a ele.
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 contigo? vai aos profetas de teu pai e aos profetas de tua mãe. Porém o rei de Israel lhe disse: Não, porque o Senhor chamou a estes três 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 exércitos, em cuja presença estou, que se eu não respeitasse a presença de Josaphat, rei de Judá, 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 sucedeu que, tangendo o tangedor, veio sobre ele 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 neste vale 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 vale se encherá de tanta água, que bebereis vós, e o vosso gado e os vossos animais.
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: também entregará ele 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 árvores cortareis, e entupireis todas as fontes d'água, e danificareis 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 sucedeu que pela manhã, oferecendo-se a oferta de manjares, eis que vinham as águas pelo caminho de Edom: e a terra se encheu d'água.
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 eles, convocaram a todos os que cingiam cinto e daí para cima, e puseram-se às 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 águas, viram os moabitas defronte deles as águas 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 à espada e se mataram um ao outro! agora pois à 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 eles ao arraial de Israel, os israelitas se levantaram, e feriram os moabitas, os quais fugiram diante deles: e ainda os feriram nas suas terras, ferindo ali também 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 de águas, e cortaram todas as boas árvores, 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 ele, tomou consigo setecentos homens que arrancavam espada, para romperem contra o rei de Edom, porém não puderam.
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 primogênito, que havia de reinar em seu lugar, e o ofereceu em holocausto sobre o muro; pelo que houve grande indignação em Israel: por isso retiraram-se dele, 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.
