2 Reis 7
1 Disse então Eliseu: Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR: Assim disse o SENHOR: Amanhã a estas horas a medida de boa farinha valerá um siclo, e duas medidas de cevada um siclo, à porta de Samaria.
Then Elisha said, Give ear to the word of the Lord: the Lord says, Tomorrow, about this time, a measure of good meal will be offered for the price of a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the market-place of Samaria.
2 E um príncipe sobre cuja mão o rei se apoiava, respondeu ao homem de Deus, e disse: Se o SENHOR fizesse agora janelas no céu, seria isto assim? E ele disse: Eis que tu o verás com teus olhos, mas não comerás disso.
Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.
3 E havia quatro homens leprosos à entrada da porta, os quais disseram o um ao outro: Para que nos estamos aqui até que morramos?
Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?
4 Se tratarmos de entrar na cidade, pela fome que há na cidade morreremos nela; e se nos ficamos aqui, também morreremos. Vamos pois agora, e passemo-nos ao exército dos sírios; se eles nos derem a vida, viveremos; e se nos derem a morte, morreremos.
If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.
5 Levantaram-se pois no princípio da noite, para ir-se ao campo dos sírios; e chegando aos primeiros abrigos dos sírios, não havia ali homem.
So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.
6 Porque o Senhor havia feito que no campo dos sírios se ouvisse estrondo de carros, ruído de cavalos, e barulho de grande exército; e disseram-se os uns aos outros: Eis que o rei de Israel pagou contra nós aos reis dos heteus, e aos reis dos egípcios, para que venham contra nós.
For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.
7 E assim se haviam levantado e fugido ao princípio da noite, deixando suas tendas, seus cavalos, seus asnos, e o campo como se estava; e haviam fugido por salvar as vidas.
So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.
8 E quando os leprosos chegaram aos primeiros abrigos, entraram-se em uma tenda, e comeram e beberam, e tomaram dali prata, e ouro, e vestido, e foram, e esconderam-no: e voltados, entraram em outra tenda, e dali também tomaram, e foram, e esconderam.
And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.
9 E disseram-se o um ao outro: Não fazemos bem: hoje é dia de boa nova, e nós calamos: e se esperamos até a luz da manhã, nos alcançará a maldade. Vamos pois agora, entremos, e demos a nova em casa do rei.
Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.
10 E vieram, e deram vozes aos guardas da porta da cidade, e declararam-lhes, dizendo: Nós fomos ao campo dos sírios, e eis que não havia ali homem, nem voz de homem, a não ser cavalos atados, asnos também atados, e o campo como se estava.
So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.
11 E os porteiros deram vozes, e declararam-no dentro, no palácio do rei.
Then the door-keepers, crying out, gave the news to those inside the king's house.
12 E levantou-se o rei de noite, e disse a seus servos: Eu vos declararei o que nos fizeram os sírios. Eles sabem que temos fome, e saíram das tendas e esconderam-se no campo, dizendo: Quando houverem saído da cidade, os tomaremos vivos,
Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.
13 Então respondeu um de seus servos, e disse: Tomem agora cinco dos cavalos que restaram na cidade, (porque eles também são como toda a multidão de Israel que restou nela; também eles são como toda a multidão de Israel que pereceu); e enviemos, e vejamos o que há.
And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.
14 Tomaram, pois, dois cavalos de um carro, e enviou o rei atrás o campo dos sírios, dizendo: Ide, e vede.
So they took two horsemen; and the king sent them after the army of the Aramaeans, saying, Go and see.
15 E eles foram, e seguiram-nos até o Jordão: e eis que, todo o caminho estava cheio de roupas e utensílios que os sírios haviam lançado com a pressa. E voltaram os mensageiros, e fizeram-no saber ao rei.
And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.
16 Então o povo saiu, e saquearam o campo dos sírios. E foram vendidos uma medida boa de farinha por um siclo, e duas medidas de cevada por um siclo, conforme a palavra do SENHOR.
Then the people went out and took the goods from the tents of the Aramaeans. So a measure of good meal was to be had for the price of a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, as the Lord had said.
17 E o rei pôs à porta a aquele príncipe sobre cuja mão ele se apoiava: e atropelou-lhe o povo à entrada, e morreu, conforme o que havia dito o homem de Deus, o que falou quando o rei desceu a ele.
And the king gave authority to that captain, on whose arm he was supported, to have control over the doorway into the town; but he was crushed to death there under the feet of the people, as the man of God had said when the king went down to him.
18 Aconteceu, pois, da maneira que o homem de Deus havia falado ao rei, dizendo: Duas medidas de cevada por um siclo, e a medida de boa farinha será vendida por um siclo amanhã a estas horas, à porta de Samaria.
So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.
19 Ao qual aquele príncipe havia respondido ao homem de Deus, dizendo: Ainda que o SENHOR fizesse janelas no céu, poderia ser isso? E ele disse: Eis que tu o verás com teus olhos, mas não comerás disso.
And that captain said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said to him, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.
20 E veio-lhe assim; porque o povo lhe atropelou à entrada, e morreu.
And such was his fate; for he was crushed to death under the feet of the people, in the doorway into the town.
