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.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and 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.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that 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.
Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart 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.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams.
5 Mas morto Acabe, o rei de Moabe se rebelou contra o rei de Israel.
But it happened, when Ahab was dead, 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.
King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all 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.
He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?" He said, "I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
8 E disse: Por qual caminho iremos? E ele respondeu: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.
He said, "Which way shall we go up?" He answered, "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.
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. There was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.
10 Então o rei de Israel disse: Ah! Que o SENHOR chamou estes três reis para entregá-los em mãos dos moabitas.
The king of Israel said, "Alas. For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver 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.
But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?" One of the king of Israel's servants answered, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."
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 Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the LORD is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah 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.
Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother." The king of Israel said to him, "No; for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand 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.
Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
15 Mas agora trazei-me um músico. E enquanto o músico tocava, a mão do SENHOR foi sobre Eliseu.
But now bring me a minstrel." It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came on him.
16 E disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Fazei neste vale muitas covas.
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 will not see wind, neither will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your animals.
18 E isto é coisa pouca aos olhos do SENHOR; dará também aos moabitas em vossas mãos.
This is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD. He will also deliver the Moabites 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.
You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar 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.
It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that look, water came by the way of Edom, and the country 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.
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on 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;
They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as 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!
They said, "This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil."
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.
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
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.
They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth only they left its stones; however the men armed with slings went about it, 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.
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but 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.
Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
