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;
Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
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.
When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
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 pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
4 Foi pois o mancebo, o jovem profeta, a Ramoth de Gilead.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
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!
When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
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.
So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
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.
You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
8 E toda a casa de Achab perecerá; e destruirei d'Achab todo o varão, tanto o encerrado como o desamparado em Israel.
You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
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.
I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
10 E os cães comerão a Jezabel no pedaço de campo de Jizreel; não haverá quem a enterre. Então abriu a porta, e fugiu
And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
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.
When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
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.
They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of 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!
Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
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.
King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
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.
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.
Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting 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?
A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
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.
So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
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.
So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around 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 reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
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.
Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
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?
When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
23 Então Jorão voltou as mãos, e fugiu; e disse a Achazias: Traição há, Achazias.
Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
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 drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead 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:
Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
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.
‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
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
When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
28 E seus servos o levaram num carro a Jerusalém, e o sepultaram na sua sepultura junto a seus pais, na cidade de David.
His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
29 (E no ano undécimo de Jorão, filho d'Achab, começou Achazias a reinar sobre Judah.)
Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
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.
Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
31 E, entrando Jehu pelas portas, disse ela: Teve paz Zimri, que matou a seu senhor?
While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
32 E levantou ele o rosto para a janela e disse: Quem é comigo? quem? E dois ou três eunucos olharam para ele.
Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
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.
Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
34 Entrando ele pois, e havendo comido e bebido, disse: olhai por aquela maldita, e sepultai-a, porque é filha de rei.
Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
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 went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
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.
When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
37 E o cadáver de Jezabel será como esterco sobre o campo, no pedaço de Jizreel: que se não possa dizer: Esta é Jezabel.
Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
