< 2 Reis 8 >
1 E falou Eliseo àquela mulher cujo filho vivificara, dizendo: Levanta-te, e vai-te, tu e a tua família, e peregrina onde poderes peregrinar; porque o Senhor chamou a fome, a qual também virá à terra por sete anos.
Now Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had caused to live, saying: “Rise up. Go, you and your household, and sojourn in whatever place you can find. For the Lord has called forth a famine, and it shall overwhelm the land for seven years.”
2 E levantou-se a mulher, e fez conforme a palavra do homem de Deus: porque foi ela com a sua família, e peregrinou na terra dos philisteus sete anos.
And she rose up, and she acted in accord with the word of the man of God. And going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
3 E sucedeu que, ao cabo dos sete anos, a mulher voltou da terra dos philisteus, e saiu a clamar ao rei pela sua casa e pelas suas terras.
And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.
4 Ora o rei falava a Geazi, moço do homem de Deus, dizendo: Conta-me, peço-te, todas as grandes obras que Eliseo tem feito.
Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.”
5 E sucedeu que, contando ele 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.
And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.”
6 E o rei perguntou à mulher, e ela lho contou: então o rei lhe deu um eunuco, dizendo: Faze-lhe restituir tudo quanto era seu, e todas as rendas das terras desde o dia em que deixou a terra até agora.
And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, “Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.”
7 Depois veio Eliseo a Damasco, estando Benhadad, rei da Síria, doente; e lho anunciaram, dizendo: O homem de Deus é chegado aqui.
Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, “The man of God has arrived here.”
8 Então o rei disse a Hazael: Toma um presente na tua mão, e vai a encontrar-te com o homem de Deus; e pergunta por ele ao Senhor, dizendo: Hei de eu sarar desta doença?
And the king said to Hazael: “Take with you gifts. And go to meet the man of God. And consult the Lord through him, saying: ‘Will I be able to escape from this, my infirmity?’”
9 Foi pois Hazael a encontrar-se com ele, e tomou um presente na sua mão, a saber: de todo o bom de Damasco, quarenta camelos carregados; e veio, e se pôs diante dele, e disse: Teu filho Benhadad, rei da Síria, me enviou a ti, a dizer: Sararei eu desta doença?
And so, Hazael went to meet him, having with him gifts, and all the goods of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he had stood before him, he said: “Your son, Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you, saying: ‘Will I be able to be healed from this, my infirmity?’”
10 E Eliseo lhe disse: vai, e dize-lhe: Certamente não sararás. Porque o Senhor me tem mostrado que certamente morrerá.
And Elisha said to him: “Go, tell him: ‘You will be healed.’ But the Lord has revealed to me that, dying he shall die.”
11 E afirmou a sua vista, e fitou os olhos nele até se envergonhar: e chorou o homem de Deus.
And he stood beside him, and he was so troubled that his face became flushed. And the man of God wept.
12 Então disse Hazael: Porque chora, meu senhor? E ele disse: Porque sei o mal que as de fazer aos filhos de Israel: porás fogo às suas fortalezas, e os seus mancebos matarás à espada, e os seus meninos despedaçarás, e as suas prenhadas fenderás.
And Hazael said to him, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he said: “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.”
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 as de ser rei da Síria.
And Hazael said, “But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?” And Elisha said, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”
14 Então partiu de Eliseo, e veio a seu senhor, o qual lhe disse: Que te disse Eliseo? E disse ele: Disse-me que certamente sararás.
And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he responded: “He said to me, ‘You shall receive health.’”
15 E sucedeu ao outro dia que tomou um cobertor, e o molhou na água, e o estendeu sobre o seu rosto, e morreu: e Hazael reinou em seu lugar.
And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.
16 E no ano quinto de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei de Israel, reinando ainda Josaphat em Judá, começou a reinar Jehorão, filho de Josaphat, rei de Judá.
In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.
17 Era ele da idade de trinta e dois anos quando começou a reinar, e oito anos reinou em Jerusalém.
He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
18 E andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, como também fizeram os da casa de Achab, porque tinha por mulher a filha de Achab, e fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had walked. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Porém o Senhor não quis destruir a Judá por amor de David, seu servo, como lhe tinha dito que lhe daria para sempre uma lâmpada a seus filhos.
But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of David, his servant, just as he had promised him, so that he might grant a light to him and to his sons, for all days.
20 Nos seus dias se rebelaram os edomitas de debaixo do mando de Judá, e puseram sobre si um rei.
In his days, Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, and they appointed a king for themselves.
21 Pelo que Jehorão passou a Zair, e todos os carros com ele: e ele se levantou de noite, e feriu os edomitas que estavam ao redor dele, e os capitães dos carros; e o povo se foi para as suas tendas.
And so, Jehoram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose up in the night, and he struck down the Idumeans who had surrounded him, and the leaders of the chariots. But the people fled to their tents.
22 Todavia os edomitas ficaram rebeldes de debaixo do mando de Judá até ao dia de hoje: então também se rebelou Libna no mesmo tempo.
And Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, even to this day. Then Libnah also drew apart, at the same time.
23 O mais dos sucessos de Jehorão, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas de Judá?
Now the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
24 E Jehorão dormiu com seus pais, e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de David: e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
25 No ano doze de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judá.
In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel: Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.
26 Era Achazias de vinte e dois anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou um ano em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Athalia, filha de Omri, rei de Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, the king 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.
And he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 E foi com Jorão, filho de Achab, a Ramoth de Gilead, à peleja contra Hazael, rei da Síria; e os siros feriram a Jorão.
Also, he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, in order to fight against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians had wounded Joram.
29 Então se voltou o rei Jorão para se curar em Jizreel das feridas que os siros lhe fizeram em Rama, quando pelejou contra Hazael, rei da Síria: e desceu Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judá, para ver a Jorão, filho de Achab, em Jizreel, porquanto estava doente.
And he turned back, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For the Syrians had wounded him at Ramoth, fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended to visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he was sick there.
