2 Reis 18

1 No terceiro ano de Oseias filho de Elá rei de Israel, começou a reinar Ezequias filho de Acaz rei de Judá.

And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Hezekiah, the son of Achaz the king of Judah, became king.

2 Quando começou a reinar era de vinte e cinco anos, e reinou em Jerusalém vinte e nove anos. O nome de sua mãe foi Abi filha de Zacarias.

Twenty and five years old was he when he became king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.

3 Fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme todas as coisas que havia feito Davi seu pai.

And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that David his father had done.

4 Ele tirou os altos, e quebrou as imagens, e arrancou os bosques, e fez pedaços a serpente de bronze que havia feito Moisés, porque até então lhe queimavam incenso os filhos de Israel; e chamou-lhe por nome Neustã.

He it was that removed the high-places, and broke the statues, and cut down the groves, and stamped in pieces the copper serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days were the children of Israel burning incense to it; and he called it Nechushtan.

5 No SENHOR Deus de Israel pôs sua esperança: depois nem antes dele não houve outro como ele em todos os reis de Judá.

In the Lord the God of Israel did he trust; and after him there was not his like among all the kings of Judah, nor among those that were before him.

6 Porque se chegou ao SENHOR, e não se separou dele, mas sim que guardou os mandamentos que o SENHOR prescreveu a Moisés.

And he adhered to the Lord, and turned not away from following him; but he kept his commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.

7 E o SENHOR foi com ele; e em todas as coisas a que saía prosperava. Ele se rebelou contra o rei da Assíria, e não lhe serviu.

And the Lord was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

8 Feriu também aos filisteus até Gaza e seus termos, desde as torres das atalaias até a cidade fortificada.

He it was that smote the Philistines, as far as Gazzah, and its territory, from the tower of the watchmen up to the fortified city.

9 No quarto ano do rei Ezequias, que era o ano sétimo de Oseias filho de Elá rei de Israel, subiu Salmaneser rei dos assírios contra Samaria, e cercou-a.

And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Shalmanesser the king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

10 E tomaram-na ao fim de três anos: isto é, no sexto ano de Ezequias, o qual era o ano nono de Oseias rei de Israel, foi Samaria tomado.

And they captured it at the end of three years, —in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea' the king of Israel, was Samaria captured.

11 E o rei da Assíria transportou a Israel à Assíria, e os pôs em Hala, e em Habor, junto ao rio de Gozã, e nas cidades dos medos:

And the king of Assyria led away Israel as exiles unto Assyria, and transported them to Chalach and to Chabor, by the river of Gozan, and to the cities of Media;

12 Porquanto não haviam atendido à voz do SENHOR seu Deus, antes haviam quebrado o seu pacto; e todas as coisas que Moisés servo do SENHOR havia mandado, nem as haviam escutado, nem praticado.

Because they had not obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, but had transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded; and had not obeyed, nor done accordingly.

13 E aos catorze anos do rei Ezequias, subiu Senaqueribe rei da Assíria contra todas as cidades fortes de Judá, e tomou-as.

And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib the king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seized on them.

14 Então Ezequias, rei de Judá, mandou dizer ao rei da Assíria em Laquis: Eu pequei; afasta-te de mim, e suportarei tudo o que me impuseres. E o rei da Assíria impôs a Ezequias rei de Judá trezentos talentos de prata, e trinta talentos de ouro.

And Hezekiah the king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have sinned; retire from me: what thou wilt impose on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah the king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

15 Deu, portanto, Ezequias toda a prata que foi achada na casa do SENHOR, e nos tesouros da casa real.

And Hezekiah gave up all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.

16 Então desmontou Ezequias as portas do templo do SENHOR, e as dobradiças que o mesmo rei Ezequias havia coberto de ouro, e deu-o ao rei da Assíria.

At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the door-sills which Hezekiah the king of Judah had overlaid, and gave the same to the king of Assyria.

17 Depois o rei da Assíria enviou ao rei Ezequias, desde Laquis contra Jerusalém, a Tartã e a Rabe-Saris e a Rabsaqué, com um grande exército: e subiram, e vieram a Jerusalém. E havendo subido, vieram e pararam junto ao aqueduto do tanque de acima,

And the king of Assyria sent Tharthan and Rub-sariss and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a strong army against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem; and when they were come up, they came and halted by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the washer's field.

18 Chamaram logo ao rei, e saiu a eles Eliaquim filho de Hilquias, que era mordomo, e Sebna escriba, e Joá filho de Asafe, chanceler.

And they called for the king, when there came out to them Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder.

19 E disse-lhes Rabsaqué: Dizei agora a Ezequias: Assim diz o grande rei da Assíria: Que confiança é esta em que tu estás?

And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherewith thou hast trusted?

20 Dizes, (por certo palavras de lábios): Tenho conselho e esforço para a guerra. Mas em que confias, que te rebelaste contra mim?

Thou saidst, but it was only a word uttered with the lips, [I have] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom didst thou trust, that thou rebelledst against me?

21 Eis que tu confias agora neste bordão de cana quebrada, em Egito, no que se alguém se apoiar, lhe entrará pela mão, e se lhe passará. Assim é Faraó, rei do Egito, para todos os que nele confiam.

Now, behold, thou trustedst thee upon yon cracked reed-staff, upon Egypt, which, if a man lean on it, will enter into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

22 E se me dizeis: Nós confiamos no SENHOR nosso Deus: não é aquele cujos altos e altares tirou Ezequias, e disse a Judá e a Jerusalém: Diante deste altar adorareis em Jerusalém?

But if ye should say unto me, In the Lord our God have we trusted: is he not the one whose high-places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, when he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar shall ye prostrate yourselves in Jerusalem?

23 Portanto, agora eu te rogo que dês reféns a meu senhor, o rei da Assíria, e eu te darei dois mil cavalos, se tu puderes dar cavaleiros para eles.

And now, I pray thee, enter into a contest with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

24 Como, pois, farás virar o rosto de um capitão o menor dos servos de meu senhor, ainda que estais confiantes no Egito por seus carros e seus cavaleiros?

How then wilt thou turn back the face of a single chieftain among the least of my master's servants, while thou hast put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!

25 Além disso, acaso eu vim sem o SENHOR a este lugar, para destruí-lo? Foi o SENHOR que me disse: Sobe a esta terra, e destrói-a.

Now am I come up without the Lord ['s will] against this place to destroy it? The Lord hath said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

26 Então disse Eliaquim filho de Hilquias, e Sebna e Joá, a Rabsaqué: Rogo-te que fales a teus servos em siríaco, porque nós o entendemos, e não fales conosco judaico a ouvidos do povo que está sobre o muro.

Then said Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, and Shebnah, and Yoach, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jewish language before the ears of the people that are on the wall.

27 E Rabsaqué lhes disse: Enviou-me meu senhor a ti e a teu senhor para dizer estas palavras, e não antes aos homens que estão sobre o muro, para comerem o seu excremento, e beberem a sua própria urina convosco?

But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master then sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? is it not rather to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own excrement, and drink their own urine with you?

28 Logo Rabsaqué ficou de pé, e clamou em alta voz na língua judaica, e falou, dizendo: Ouvi a palavra do grande rei, o rei da Assíria.

Then stood Rabshakeh up and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, and said, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

29 Assim disse o rei: Não vos engane Ezequias, porque não vos poderá livrar de minha mão.

Thus hath said the king. Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand;

30 E não vos faça Ezequias confiar no SENHOR, dizendo: De certo nos livrará o SENHOR, e esta cidade não será entregue em mão do rei da Assíria.

Neither let Hezekiah induce you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria:

31 Não ouçais a Ezequias, porque assim diz o rei da Assíria: Fazei comigo paz, e saí a mim, e cada um comerá de sua vide, e de sua figueira, e cada um beberá as águas de seu poço;

Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus hath said the king of Assyria, Make a treaty of peace with me, and come out to me, and eat ye every man of his own vine, and every man of his fig-tree, and drink ye every man the waters of his cistern;

32 Até que eu venha, e vos leve a uma terra como a vossa, terra de grão e de vinho, terra de pão e de vinhas, terra de olivas, de azeite, e de mel; e vivereis, e não morrereis. Não ouçais a Ezequias, porque vos engana quando disse: o SENHOR nos livrará.

Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil-olive trees, and of honey, that ye may live, and not die; and hearken not unto Hezekiah; for he will mislead you, saying, The Lord will deliver us.

33 Acaso algum dos deuses das nações livrou sua terra da mão do rei da Assíria?

Have the gods of the nations delivered in anywise each his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 Onde está o deus de Hamate, e de Arpade? Onde está o deus de Sefarvaim, de Hena, e de Iva? Puderam estes livrar a Samaria de minha mão?

Where are the gods of Chamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvayim, Hena', and 'Ivvah? have they then delivered Samaria out of my hand?

35 Que deus de todos os deuses das províncias livrou a sua província de minha mão, para que livre o SENHOR de minha mão a Jerusalém?

Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

36 E o povo se calou, de maneira que não lhe responderam palavra: porque havia mandamento do rei, o qual havia dito: Não lhe respondais.

But the people remained silent, and answered him not a word; for it was the king's command, saying, Ye shall not answer him.

37 Então Eliaquim filho de Hilquias, que era mordomo, e Sebna o escriba, e Joá filho de Asafe, chanceler, vieram a Ezequias, com suas roupas rasgadas, e contaram-lhe as palavras de Rabsaqué.

Then came Elyakim the son of Chilkiyah, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent; and they told unto him the words of Rabshakeh.
