2 Reis 10
1 E tinha Acabe em Samaria setenta filhos; e escreveu cartas Jeú, e enviou-as a Samaria aos principais de Jezreel, aos anciãos e aos tutores de Acabe, dizendo:
Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,
2 Logo em chegando estas cartas a vós o que tendes os filhos de vosso senhor, e os que tendes carros e cavaleiros, a cidade fortificada, e as armas,
“Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armour,
3 Olhai qual é o melhor e ele mais reto dos filhos de vosso senhor, e ponde-o no trono de seu pai, e lutai pela casa de vosso senhor.
select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
4 Mas eles tiveram grande temor, e disseram: Eis que dois reis não puderam resistir-lhe, como lhe resistiremos nós?
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”
5 E o mordomo, e o governador da cidade, e os anciãos, e os tutores, enviaram a dizer a Jeú: Servos teus somos, e faremos tudo o que nos mandares: não elegeremos por rei a ninguém; tu farás o que bem te parecer.
He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”
6 Ele então lhes escreveu a segunda vez dizendo: Se sois meus, e quereis obedecer-me, tomai os chefes dos homens filhos de vosso senhor, e vinde amanhã a estas horas a mim a Jezreel. E os filhos do rei, setenta homens, estavam com os principais da cidade, que os criavam.
Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
7 E quando as cartas chegaram a eles, tomaram aos filhos do rei, e degolaram setenta homens, e puseram suas cabeças em cestos, e enviaram-nas a Jezreel.
When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
8 E veio um mensageiro que lhe deu as novas, dizendo: Trouxeram as cabeças dos filhos do rei. E ele lhe disse: Ponde-as em dois amontoados à entrada da porta até a manhã.
A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
9 Vinda a manhã, saiu ele, e estando em pé disse a todo o povo: Vós sois justos: eis que eu conspirei contra meu senhor, e o mateis: mas quem matou a todos estes?
In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
10 Sabei agora que da palavra do SENHOR que falou sobre a casa de Acabe, nada cairá em terra: e que o SENHOR fez o que disse por seu servo Elias.
Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
11 Matou então Jeú a todos os que haviam restado da casa de Acabe em Jezreel, e a todos seus príncipes, e a todos seus familiares, e a seus sacerdotes, que não lhe restou ninguém.
So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
12 E levantou-se dali, e veio a Samaria; e chegando ele no caminho a uma casa de tosa de pastores,
He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,
13 Achou ali aos irmãos de Acazias rei de Judá, e disse-lhes: Quem sois vós? E eles disseram: Somos irmãos de Acazias, e viemos a saudar aos filhos do rei, e aos filhos da rainha.
Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”
14 Então ele disse: Prendei-os vivos. E depois que os tomaram vivos, eles os degolaram junto ao poço da casa de tosa, quarenta e dois homens, sem deixar ninguém deles.
He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave any of them.
15 Partindo-se logo dali encontrou-se com Jonadabe filho de Recabe; e depois que o saudou, disse-lhe: É reto teu coração, como o meu é reto com o teu? E Jonadabe disse: O é. Pois que o é, dá-me a mão. E ele lhe deu sua mão. Fê-lo logo subir consigo no carro.
When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16 E disse-lhe: Vem comigo, e verás meu zelo pelo SENHOR. Puseram-no pois em seu carro.
He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.” So they made him ride in his chariot.
17 E logo que havia Jeú chegado a Samaria, matou a todos os que haviam restado de Acabe em Samaria, até extirpá-los, conforme à palavra do SENHOR, que havia falado por Elias.
When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to Elijah.
18 E juntou Jeú todo o povo, e disse-lhes: Acabe serviu pouco a Baal; mas Jeú o servirá muito.
Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
19 Chamai-me, pois, logo a todos os profetas de Baal, a todos seus servos, e a todos seus sacerdotes; que não falte um, porque tenho um grande sacrifício para Baal; qualquer um que faltar, não viverá. Isto fazia Jeú com astúcia, para destruir aos que honravam a Baal.
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshippers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 E disse Jeú: Santificai um dia solene a Baal. E eles convocaram.
Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
21 E enviou Jeú por todo Israel, e vieram todos os servos de Baal, que não faltou ninguém que não viesse. E entraram no templo de Baal, e o templo de Baal se encheu de fim a fim.
Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn’t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
22 Então disse ao que tinha o cargo das vestiduras: Tira vestiduras para todos os servos de Baal. E ele lhes tirou vestimentas.
He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshippers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
23 E entrou Jeú com Jonadabe filho de Recabe no templo de Baal, e disse aos servos de Baal: Olhai e vede que por dita não haja aqui entre vós algum dos servos do SENHOR, a não ser somente os servos de Baal.
Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshippers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshippers of Baal.”
24 E quando eles entraram para fazer sacrifícios e holocaustos, Jeú pôs fora oitenta homens, e disse-lhes: Qualquer um que deixar vivo algum daqueles homens que eu pus em vossas mãos, sua vida será pela do outro.
So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.”
25 E depois que acabaram eles de fazer o holocausto, Jeú disse aos de seu guarda e aos capitães: Entrai, e matai-os; que não escape ninguém. E os feriram à espada: e os da guarda e os capitães os lançaram fora, e foram até a cidade do templo de Baal.
As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
26 E tiraram as estátuas da casa de Baal, e queimaram-nas.
They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burnt them.
27 E quebraram a estátua de Baal, e derrubaram a casa de Baal, e fizeram-na latrina, até hoje.
They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
28 Assim extinguiu Jeú a Baal de Israel.
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Contudo isso Jeú não se separou dos pecados de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, que fez pecar a Israel; a saber, seguindo o os bezerros de ouro que estavam em Betel e em Dã.
However, Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.
30 E o SENHOR disse a Jeú: Porquanto fizeste bem executando o que era correto diante de meus olhos, e fizeste à casa de Acabe conforme a tudo o que estava em meu coração, teus filhos se sentarão no trono de Israel até a quarta geração.
The LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
31 Mas Jeú não cuidou de andar na lei do SENHOR Deus de Israel com todo seu coração, nem se separou dos pecados de Jeroboão, o que havia feito pecar a Israel.
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
32 Em aqueles dias começou o SENHOR a diminuir o território de Israel: e feriu-os Hazael em todos os termos de Israel,
In those days the LORD began to cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel
33 Desde o Jordão ao oriente, toda a terra de Gileade, de Gade, de Rúben, e de Manassés, desde Aroer que está junto ao ribeiro de Arnom, a Gileade e a Basã.
from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34 Os demais dos feitos de Jeú, e todas as coisas que fez, e toda sua valentia, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35 E dormiu Jeú com seus pais, e sepultaram-no em Samaria: e reinou em seu lugar Jeoacaz seu filho.
Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
36 O tempo que reinou Jeú sobre Israel em Samaria, foi vinte e oito anos.
The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
