2 Reis 3
1 E Jorão, filho de Acabe, começou a reinar em Samaria sobre Israel o ano dezoito de Josafá rei de Judá; e reinou doze anos.
And Joram the son of Achaab began to reign in Israel in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned twelve years.
2 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, ainda que não como seu pai e sua mãe; porque tirou as estátuas de Baal que seu pai havia feito.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, only not as his father, nor as his mother: and he removed the pillars of Baal which his father had made.
3 Mas achegou-se aos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, que fez pecar a Israel; e não se separou deles.
Only he adhered to the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
4 Então Messa rei de Moabe era proprietário de gados, e pagava ao rei de Israel cem mil cordeiros e cem mil carneiros com suas lãs.
And Mosa king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel in the beginning [of the year], a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5 Mas morto Acabe, o rei de Moabe se rebelou contra o rei de Israel.
And it came to pass, after the death of Achaab, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 E saiu então de Samaria o rei Jorão, e inspecionou a todo Israel.
And king Joram went forth in that day out of Samaria, and numbered Israel.
7 E foi e enviou a dizer a Josafá rei de Judá: O rei de Moabe se há rebelado contra mim: irás tu comigo à guerra contra Moabe? E ele respondeu: Irei, porque como eu, assim tu; como meu povo, assim teu povo; como meus cavalos, assim também teus cavalos.
And he went and sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to war? And he said, I will go up: you are as I, I am as you; as my people, so [is] your people, as my horses, so [are] your horses.
8 E disse: Por qual caminho iremos? E ele respondeu: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.
And he said, What way shall I go up? and he said, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
9 Partiram, pois, o rei de Israel, e o rei de Judá, e o rei de Edom; e quando andaram rodeando pelo deserto sete dias de caminho, faltou-lhes a água para o exército, e para os animais que os seguiam.
And the king of Israel went, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey; and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that went with them.
10 Então o rei de Israel disse: Ah! Que o SENHOR chamou estes três reis para entregá-los em mãos dos moabitas.
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the Lord should have called the three kings on their way, to give them into the hand of Moab.
11 Mas Josafá disse: Não há aqui profeta do SENHOR, para que consultemos ao SENHOR por ele? E um dos servos do rei de Israel respondeu e disse: Aqui está Eliseu filho de Safate, que dava água a mãos a Elias.
And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, [There is] here Elisaie son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Eliu.
12 E Josafá disse: Este terá palavra do SENHOR. E desceram a ele o rei de Israel, e Josafá, e o rei de Edom.
And Josaphat said, He has the word of the Lord. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom, went down to him.
13 Então Eliseu disse ao rei de Israel: Que tenho eu contigo? Vai aos profetas de teu pai, e aos profetas de tua mãe. E o rei de Israel lhe respondeu: Não; porque juntou o SENHOR estes três reis para entregá-los em mãos dos moabitas.
And Elisaie said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father, and the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Has the Lord called the three kings to deliver them into the hands of Moab?
14 E Eliseu disse: Vive o SENHOR dos exércitos, em cuja presença estou, que se não tivesse respeito ao rosto de Josafá rei de Judá, não olharia a ti, nem te veria.
And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord of hosts before whom I stand lives, unless I regarded the presence of Josaphat the king of Juda, I would not have looked on you, nor seen you.
15 Mas agora trazei-me um músico. E enquanto o músico tocava, a mão do SENHOR foi sobre Eliseu.
And now fetch me a harper. And it came to pass, as the harper harped, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.
16 E disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Fazei neste vale muitas covas.
And he said, Thus says the Lord, Make this valley full of trenches.
17 Porque o SENHOR disse assim: Não vereis vento, nem vereis chuva, e este vale será cheio de água, e bebereis vós, e vossos animais, e vossos gados.
For thus says the Lord, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain, yet this valley shall be filled with water, and you, and your flocks, and your cattle shall drink.
18 E isto é coisa pouca aos olhos do SENHOR; dará também aos moabitas em vossas mãos.
And this [is] a light [thing] in the eyes of the Lord: I will also deliver Moab into your hand.
19 E vós ferireis a toda cidade fortalecida e a toda vila bela, e cortareis toda boa árvore, e cegareis todas as fontes de águas, e destruireis com pedras toda terra fértil.
And you shall strike every strong city, and you shall cut down every good tree, and you shall stop all wells of water, and spoil every good piece [of land] with stones.
20 E aconteceu que pela manhã, quando se oferece o sacrifício, eis que vieram águas pelo caminho de Edom, e a terra foi cheia de águas.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifice was offered, that, behold! waters came from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.
21 E todos os de Moabe, quando ouviram que os reis subiam a lutar contra eles, juntaram-se desde todos os que cingiam armas de guerra acima, e puseram-se na fronteira.
And all Moab heard that the three kings were come up to fight against them; and they cried out on every [side, even] all that were girded with a girdle, and they said, Ho! and stood upon the border.
22 E quando se levantaram pela manhã, e luziu o sol sobre as águas, viram os de Moabe desde longe as águas vermelhas como sangue;
And they rose early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the waters, and Moab saw the waters on the opposite side red as blood.
23 E disseram: Sangue é este de espada! Os reis se revoltaram, e cada um matou a seu companheiro. Agora, pois, Moabe, à presa!
And they said, This [is] the blood of the sword; and the kings have fought, and each man has struck his neighbor; now then to the spoils, Moab.
24 Mas quando chegaram ao campo de Israel, levantaram-se os israelitas e feriram aos de Moabe, os quais fugiram diante deles; seguiram, porém, ferindo aos de Moabe.
And they entered into the camp of Israel; and Israel arose and struck Moab, and they fled from before them; and they went on and struck Moab as they went.
25 E assolaram as cidades, e em todas as propriedades férteis lançou cada um sua pedra, e as encheram; fecharam também todas as fontes das águas, e derrubaram todas as boas árvores; até que em Quir-Haresete somente deixaram suas pedras; porque os atiradores de funda a cercaram e a feriram.
And they razed the cities, and cast every man his stone on every good piece [of land] and filled it; and they stopped every well, and cut down every good tree, until they left [only] the stones of the wall cast down; and the slingers compassed [the land], and struck it.
26 E quando o rei de Moabe viu que a batalha o vencia, tomou consigo setecentos homens que tiravam espada, para romper contra o rei de Edom, mas não conseguiram.
And the king of Moab saw that the battle prevailed against him; and he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to cut through to the king of Edom: and they could not.
27 Então arrebatou a seu primogênito que havia de reinar em seu lugar, e sacrificou-lhe em holocausto sobre o muro. E havia grande ira em Israel; e retiraram-se dele, e voltaram a sua terra.
And he took his oldest son whom he had designed to reign in his stead, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering on the walls. And there was a great indignation against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their land.
