< 2 Reis 9 >

1 Então o profeta Eliseo chamou um dos filhos dos profetas, e lhe disse: Cinge os teus lombos, e toma esta almotolia de azeite na tua mão, e vai-te a Ramoth de Gilead;
Now the prophet Elisha called one of the sons of the prophets, and he said to him: “Gird your waist, and take this little bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
2 E, chegando lá, vê onde está Jehu, filho de Josaphat, filho de Nimsi: e entra, e faze que ele se levante do meio de seus irmãos, e leva-o à câmara interior.
And when you arrive in that place, you will see Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. And upon entering, you shall raise him up from the midst of his brothers, and you shall lead him into an inner room.
3 E toma a almotolia de azeite, e derrama-o sobre a sua cabeça, e dize: Assim diz o Senhor: Ungi-te rei sobre Israel. Então abre a porta, e foge, e não te detenhas.
And taking the little bottle of oil, you shall pour it upon his head, and you shall say: ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’ And you shall open the door and flee. And you shall not remain in that place.”
4 Foi pois o mancebo, o jovem profeta, a Ramoth de Gilead.
Therefore, the young man, a servant of the prophet, went away to Ramoth Gilead.
5 E, entrando ele, eis que os capitães do exército estavam assentados ali; e disse: Capitão, tenho uma palavra que te dizer. E disse Jehu: A qual de todos nós? E disse: A ti, capitão!
And he entered that place, and behold, the leaders of the army were sitting there, and he said, “I have a word for you, O prince.” And Jehu said, “For which one among us all?” And he said, “For you, O prince.”
6 Então se levantou, e entrou na casa, e derramou o azeite sobre a sua cabeça, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: Ungi-te rei sobre o povo do Senhor, sobre Israel.
And he rose up and entered into the room. And he poured the oil on his head, and he said: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you as king over Israel, the people of the Lord.
7 E ferirás a casa de Achab, teu senhor, para que eu vingue o sangue de meus servos, os profetas, e o sangue de todos os servos do Senhor da mão de Jezabel.
And you shall strike down the house of Ahab, your lord. And I will avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, from the hand of Jezebel.
8 E toda a casa de Achab perecerá; e destruirei d'Achab todo o varão, tanto o encerrado como o desamparado em Israel.
And I will destroy the entire house of Ahab. And I will cause to pass away from Ahab, whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is least in Israel.
9 Porque à casa d'Achab hei de fazer como à casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, e como à casa de Baása, filho d'Ahias.
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah.
10 E os cães comerão a Jezabel no pedaço de campo de Jizreel; não haverá quem a enterre. Então abriu a porta, e fugiu
Also, the dogs will consume Jezebel, in the field of Jezreel. Neither will there be anyone who may bury her.’” And then he opened the door, and he fled.
11 E, saindo Jehu aos servos do seu senhor, disseram-lhe: vai tudo bem? porque veio a ti este louco? E ele lhes disse: Bem conheceis o homem e o seu falar.
Then Jehu went out to the servants of his lord. And they said to him: “Is everything well? Why has this insane man come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man, and what he said.”
12 Mas eles disseram: É mentira; agora faze-no-lo saber. E disse: Assim e assim me falou, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Ungi-te rei sobre Israel.
But they responded, “That is false; instead, you should tell us.” And he said to them, “He said to me these certain things, and he said, ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’”
13 Então se apressaram, e tomou cada um o seu vestido, e o pôs debaixo dele, no mais alto degrau: e tocaram a buzina, e disseram: Jehu reina!
And so they hurried away. And each one, taking his cloak, placed it under his feet, in the manner of a seat for judgment. And they sounded the trumpet, and they said: “Jehu reigns!”
14 Assim Jehu, filho de Josaphat, filho de Nimsi, conspirou contra Jorão. Tinha porém Jorão cercado a Ramoth de Gilead, ele e todo o Israel, por causa de Hazael, rei da Síria.
Then Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Gilead, he and all of Israel, against Hazael, the king of Syria.
15 Porém o rei Jorão voltou para se curar em Jizreel das feridas que os siros lhe fizeram, quando pelejou contra Hazael, rei da Síria. E disse Jehu: Se é da vossa vontade, ninguém saia da cidade, nem escape, para ir denunciar isto em Jizreel.
And he had returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel, because of his wounds. For the Syrians had struck him, while he was fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu said, “If it pleases you, let no one depart, fleeing from the city; otherwise he may go and give a report in Jezreel.”
16 Então Jehu subiu a um carro, e foi-se a Jizreel, porque Jorão estava deitado ali: e também Achazias, rei de Judá, descera para ver a Jorão.
And he climbed up and set out for Jezreel, because Joram was sick there, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, had gone down to visit Joram.
17 E o atalaia estava na torre de Jizreel, e viu a tropa de Jehu, que vinha, e disse: Vejo uma tropa. Então disse Jorão: Toma um cavaleiro, e envia-lho ao encontro; e diga: há paz?
And so the watchman, who was standing upon the tower of Jezreel, saw the crowd of Jehu arriving, and he said, “I see a crowd.” And Joram said: “Take a chariot, and send to meet them. And those who go should say, ‘Is everything well?’”
18 E o cavaleiro lhe foi ao encontro, e disse: Assim diz o rei: há paz? E disse Jehu: Que tens tu que fazer com a paz? Vira-te para traz de mim. E o atalaia o fez saber, dizendo: Chegou a eles o mensageiro, porém não volta.
Therefore, he who had climbed into the chariot went away to meet him, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is everything peaceful?’” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.” Also the watchman gave a report, saying, “The messenger went to them, but he did not return.”
19 Então enviou outro cavaleiro; e, chegando este a eles, disse: Assim diz o rei: há paz? E disse Jehu: Que tens tu que fazer com a paz? Vira-te para traz de mim.
And then he sent a second chariot of horses. And he went to them, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is there peace?’” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.”
20 E o atalaia o fez saber, dizendo: também este chegou a eles, porém não volta; e o andar parece como o andar de Jehu, filho de Nimsi, porque anda furiosamente.
Then the watchman gave a report, saying: “He went all the way to them, but he did not return. But their advance is like the advance of Jehu, the son of Nimshi. For he advances precipitously.”
21 Então disse Jorão: aparelha o carro. E aparelharam o seu carro. E saiu Jorão, rei de Israel, e Achazias, rei de Judá, cada um em seu carro, e sairam ao encontro a Jehu, e o acharam no pedaço de campo de Naboth, o jizreelita.
And Joram said, “Yoke the chariot.” And they yoked his chariot. And Joram, the king of Israel, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, departed, each in his chariot. And they went out to meet Jehu. And they met him in the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite.
22 E sucedeu que, vendo Jorão a Jehu, disse: há paz, Jehu? E disse ele: Que paz, enquanto as fornicações da tua mãe Jezabel e as suas feitiçarias são tantas?
And when Joram had seen Jehu, he said, “Is there peace, Jehu?” And he responded: “What is peace? For still the fornications of your mother, Jezebel, and her many poisons, are thriving.”
23 Então Jorão voltou as mãos, e fugiu; e disse a Achazias: Traição há, Achazias.
Then Joram turned his hand, and, fleeing, he said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
24 Mas Jehu entesou o seu arco com toda a força, e feriu a Jorão entre os braços, e a flecha lhe saiu pelo coração; e se encurvou no seu carro.
But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and he struck Joram between the shoulders. And the arrow went through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.
25 Então Jehu disse a Bidkar, seu capitão: Toma-o, lança-o no pedaço do campo de Naboth, o jizreelita; porque, lembra-te de que, indo eu e tu juntos a cavalo após seu pai, Achab, o Senhor pôs sobre ele esta carga, dizendo:
And Jehu said to Bidkar, his commander: “Take and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite. For I remember, when you and I, sitting in a chariot, were following Ahab, this man’s father, that the Lord lifted this burden upon him, saying:
26 Por certo que se eu não visse ontem à tarde o sangue de Naboth e o sangue de seus filhos, diz o Senhor, também não to pagaria neste pedaço de campo, diz o Senhor. Agora, pois, toma-o, e lança-o neste pedaço de campo, conforme a palavra do Senhor.
‘Certainly, I will repay you in this field, says the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his sons, which I saw yesterday, says the Lord.’ Therefore, take him now, and cast him into the field, in accord with the word of the Lord.”
27 O que vendo Achazias, rei de Judá, fugiu pelo caminho da casa do jardim, porém Jehu seguiu após ele, e disse: também feri a este no carro à subida de Gur, que está junto a Jibleam. E fugiu a Megiddo, e morreu ali
But Ahaziah, the king of Judah, seeing this, fled along the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him, and he said, “Strike this one also in his chariot.” And they struck him on the ascent to Gur, which is beside Ibleam. But he fled into Megiddo, and he died there.
28 E seus servos o levaram num carro a Jerusalém, e o sepultaram na sua sepultura junto a seus pais, na cidade de David.
And his servants placed him upon his chariot, and they took him to Jerusalem. And they buried him in the sepulcher with his fathers, in the city of David.
29 (E no ano undécimo de Jorão, filho d'Achab, começou Achazias a reinar sobre Judah.)
In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah reigned over Judah.
30 E Jehu veio a Jizreel, o que ouvindo Jezabel, se pintou em volta dos olhos, e enfeitou a sua cabeça, e olhou pela janela.
And Jehu went into Jezreel. But Jezebel, hearing of his arrival, painted her eyes with cosmetics, and adorned her head. And she watched through a window,
31 E, entrando Jehu pelas portas, disse ela: Teve paz Zimri, que matou a seu senhor?
as Jehu was entering through the gate. And she said, “Is it possible for there to be peace for Zimri, who killed his lord?”
32 E levantou ele o rosto para a janela e disse: Quem é comigo? quem? E dois ou três eunucos olharam para ele.
And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and he said, “Who is this woman?” And two or three eunuchs bowed down before him.
33 Então disse ele: lançai-a do alto abaixo. E lançaram-a do alto abaixo: e foram salpicados com o seu sangue a parede e os cavalos, e ele a atropelou.
And he said to them, “Throw her down with force.” And they threw her forcefully, and the wall was splattered with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trampled her.
34 Entrando ele pois, e havendo comido e bebido, disse: olhai por aquela maldita, e sepultai-a, porque é filha de rei.
And when he had entered, so that he might eat and drink, he said: “Go, and see to that cursed woman, and bury her. For she is the daughter of a king.”
35 E foram para a sepultar; porém não acharam dela senão somente a caveira, e os pés, e as palmas das mãos
But when they had gone, so that they might bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the ends of her hands.
36 Então voltaram, e lho fizeram saber; e ele disse: Esta é a palavra do Senhor, a qual falou pelo ministério de Elias, o tesbita, seu servo, dizendo: No pedaço do campo de Jizreel os cães comerão a carne de Jezabel.
And returning, they reported to him. And Jehu said: “It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke through his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying: ‘In the field of Jezreel, the dogs will consume the flesh of Jezebel.
37 E o cadáver de Jezabel será como esterco sobre o campo, no pedaço de Jizreel: que se não possa dizer: Esta é Jezabel.
And the flesh of Jezebel will be like dung upon the face of the earth, in the field of Jezreel, so that those who pass by may say: Is this that same Jezebel?’”
