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 son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, —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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, only, not like his father, nor like his mother, —but he put away 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.
nevertheless, unto the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat which he caused Israel to commit, he did cleave, —he turned not away therefrom
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-master, —and used to render to the king of Israel, the wool of hundred thousand fat sheep, and of a hundred thousand rams.
5 Mas morto Acabe, o rei de Moabe se rebelou contra o rei de Israel.
And it came to pass, when Ahab died, that the king of Moab revolted against the king of Israel.
6 E saiu então de Samaria o rei Jorão, e inspecionou a todo Israel.
So King Jehoram went forth, on that day, out of Samaria, and numbered 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.
And he departed, and sent unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying—The king of Moab, hath revolted against me, wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said—I will go up, I am as thou art, my people are as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
8 E disse: Por qual caminho iremos? E ele respondeu: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.
And he said—Which way, then, shall we 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.
Then departed the king of Israel, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and went round, a journey of seven days, —and there was no water for the host, nor 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.
Then said the king of Israel—Alas! for Yahweh hath called these three kings, 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.
So Jehoshaphat said—Is there not, here, a prophet of Yahweh, that we may enquire of Yahweh, from him? Then answered one of the servants of the king of Israel, and said, Here, is Elisha son of Shaphat, 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.
Then said Jehoshaphat, The word of Yahweh, is with him. So the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom, went down unto 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 Elisha said unto the king of Israel—What have I and thou in common? get thee unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother. But the king of Israel said to him—Nay! for Yahweh hath called together these three kings, 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.
Then said Elisha—By the life of Yahweh of hosts, before whom I stand, were it not that, the countenance of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would lift up, I would neither look at thee, nor see thee.
15 Mas agora trazei-me um músico. E enquanto o músico tocava, a mão do SENHOR foi sobre Eliseu.
But, now, bring me one that can touch the strings. For it used to be, when the player touched the strings, then would, the hand of Yahweh, be upon him.
16 E disse: Assim disse o SENHOR: Fazei neste vale muitas covas.
Then said he, Thus, saith Yahweh, Make, in this torrent-bed, pits, pits!
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, saith Yahweh—Ye shall not see wind, and ye shall not see rain, yet, that torrent-bed, shall be filled with water, —And ye shall drink, ye, and your cattle, and your beasts;
18 E isto é coisa pouca aos olhos do SENHOR; dará também aos moabitas em vossas mãos.
And, this being a small thing in the eyes of Yahweh, he will 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 ye shall smite every strong city, and every choice city, and, every goodly tree, shall ye fell, and, all fountains water, shall ye close up, —and, every goodly heritage, shall ye mar 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 offering ascended, that lo! waters, were coming in from the way of Edom, —and the land was filled with the 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, all Moab, had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, —so they came together, from all who could gird on a girdle and upwards, and took their stand at 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, when they rose early in the morning, the sun, shone forth upon the waters, —and so the Moabites beheld over against them, the waters, 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 therefore—Blood, —this! Destroyed! The kings have destroyed each other! Yea they have smitten every man his neighbour, —Now, then, to the spoil, O 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, when they came into the camp of Israel, Israel arose and smote Moab, and they fled from before them, —so they entered thereinto, yea still farther entered Moab;
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, the cities, they pulled down, and, on every goodly heritage, they cast every man his stone, and filled it, and, all fountains of waters, they closed up, and, every goodly tree, they felled, and, though they left the stones thereof in Kir-haraseth, yet the slingers surrounded and smote 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, when the king of Moab saw that, the battle, prevailed against him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through against 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.
So he took his firstborn son who was to have reigned in his stead, and offered him up as an ascending-sacrifice upon the wall. And so it came to pass that there was great indignation against Israel. And they brake up from against him, and returned to their own land.
