2 Reis 13
1 No ano vinte e três de Joás filho de Acazias, rei de Judá, começou a reinar Jeoacaz filho de Jeú sobre Israel em Samaria; e reinou dezessete anos.
After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
2 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, e seguiu os pecados de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o que fez pecar a Israel; e não se separou deles.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
3 E acendeu-se o furor do SENHOR contra Israel, e entregou-os em mão de Hazael rei da Síria, e em mão de Ben-Hadade filho de Hazael, por longo tempo.
So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
4 Mas Jeoacaz orou à face do SENHOR, e o SENHOR o ouviu: porque olhou a aflição de Israel, pois o rei da Síria os afligia.
Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
5 (E deu o SENHOR salvador a Israel, e saíram de sob a mão dos sírios; e habitaram os filhos de Israel em suas moradas, como antes.
Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
6 Contudo isso não se apartaram dos pecados da casa de Jeroboão, o que fez pecar a Israel: neles andaram; e também o bosque permaneceu em Samaria.)
But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
7 Porque não lhe havia restado gente a Jeoacaz, a não ser cinquenta cavaleiros, e dez carros, e dez mil homens a pé; pois o rei da Síria os havia destruído, e os havia posto como pó para pisar.
Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
8 Os demais dos feitos de Jeoacaz, e tudo o que fez, e suas valentias, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
9 E descansou Jeoacaz com seus pais, e sepultaram-no em Samaria: e reinou em seu lugar Joás seu filho.
Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
10 O ano trinta e sete de Joás rei de Judá, começou a reinar Joás filho de Jeoacaz sobre Israel em Samaria; e reinou dezesseis anos.
Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
11 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR: não se separou de todos os pecados de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o que fez pecar a Israel; neles andou.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
12 Os demais dos feitos de Joás, e todas as coisas que fez, e seu esforço com que guerreou contra Amasias rei de Judá, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
13 E dormiu Joás com seus pais, e sentou-se Jeroboão sobre seu trono: e Joás foi sepultado em Samaria com os reis de Israel.
When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
14 Estava Eliseu enfermo daquela sua enfermidade de que morreu. E desceu a ele Joás rei de Israel, e chorando diante dele, disse: Meu pai, meu pai, carro de Israel e seus cavaleiros!
Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
15 E disse-lhe Eliseu: Toma um arco e umas flechas. Tomou ele então um arco e umas flechas.
Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
16 E disse Eliseu ao rei de Israel: Põe tua mão sobre o arco. E pôs ele sua mão sobre o arco. Então pôs Eliseu suas mãos sobre as mãos do rei,
Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
17 E disse: Abre a janela de até o oriente. E quando ele a abriu disse Eliseu: Atira. E atirando ele, disse Eliseu: Flecha de salvação do SENHOR, e flecha de salvação contra Síria: porque ferirás aos sírios em Afeque, até consumi-los.
Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
18 E voltou-lhe a dizer: Toma as flechas. E logo que o rei de Israel as tomou, disse-lhe: Fere a terra. E ele feriu três vezes, e cessou.
Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
19 Então o homem de Deus, irou-se com ele, lhe disse: A ferir cinco ou seis vezes, feririas a Síria, até não restar ninguém: porém agora três vezes ferirás a Síria.
But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
20 E morreu Eliseu, e sepultaram-no. Entrado o ano vieram tropas de moabitas à terra.
Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
21 E aconteceu que ao sepultar uns um homem, subitamente viram uma tropa, e lançaram ao homem no sepulcro de Eliseu: e quando o morto chegou a tocar os ossos de Eliseu, reviveu, e levantou-se sobre seus pés.
One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
22 Hazael, pois, rei da Síria, afligiu a Israel todo o tempo de Jeoacaz.
King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
23 Mas o SENHOR teve misericórdia deles, e compadeceu-se deles, e olhou-os, por amor de seu pacto com Abraão, Isaque e Jacó; e não quis destruí-los nem lançá-los de diante de si até agora.
But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
24 E morreu Hazael rei da Síria, e reinou em seu lugar Ben-Hadade seu filho.
When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
25 E voltou Joás filho de Jeoacaz, e tomou da mão de Ben-Hadade filho de Hazael, as cidades que ele havia tomado da mão de Jeoacaz seu pai em guerra. Três vezes o bateu Joás, e restituiu as cidades a Israel.
[The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
