2 Reis 8
1 E Eliseu falou àquela mulher a cujo filho havia feito viver, dizendo: Levanta-te, vai tu e toda a tua casa a viver de onde puderes; porque o SENHOR chamou a fome, a qual virá também sobre a terra sete anos.
After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
2 Então a mulher se levantou, e fez como o homem de Deus lhe disse: e partiu-se ela com sua família, e viveu na terra dos filisteus durante sete anos.
So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
3 E quando foram passados os sete anos, a mulher voltou da terra dos filisteus; depois saiu para clamar ao rei por sua casa, e por suas terras.
After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
4 E havia o rei falado com Geazi, criado do homem de Deus, dizendo-lhe: Rogo-te que me contes todas as maravilhas que Eliseu fez.
When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 E contando ele ao rei como havia feito viver a um morto, eis que a mulher, a cujo filho havia feito viver, veio clamar ao rei por sua casa e por suas terras. Então Geazi disse: Ó rei, meu senhor, esta é a mulher, e este é seu filho, ao qual Eliseu fez viver.
While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
6 E perguntando o rei à mulher, ela lhe contou. Então o rei lhe deu um eunuco, dizendo-lhe: Faze-lhe restituir todas as coisas que eram suas, e todos os frutos das terras desde o dia que deixou esta terra até agora.
When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
7 E Eliseu foi a Damasco, e Ben-Hadade rei da Síria estava doente, ao qual deram aviso, dizendo: O homem de Deus veio aqui.
Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
8 E o rei disse a Hazael: Toma em tua mão um presente, e vai encontrar-te com o homem de Deus, e consulta por ele ao SENHOR, dizendo: Sararei desta doença?
the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
9 Tomou, pois, Hazael em sua mão um presente de todos os bens de Damasco, quarenta camelos carregados, e foi ao seu encontro; e chegou, pôs-se diante dele, e disse: Teu filho Ben-Hadade, rei da Síria, me enviou a ti, dizendo: Sararei desta doença?
So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
10 E Eliseu lhe disse: Vai, dize-lhe: Com certeza me mostrou que ele morrerá certamente.
Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
11 E o homem de Deus lhe voltou o rosto fixamente, até o deixar desconcertado; então o homem de Deus chorou.
Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
12 Então disse-lhe Hazael: Por que o meu senhor chora? E ele respondeu: Porque sei o mal que farás aos filhos de Israel; porás fogo às suas fortalezas, matarás à espada os seus rapazes, despedaçarás as suas crianças, e rasgarás o ventredas suas grávidas.
Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
13 E Hazael disse: O que é o teu servo, um cão, para que ele faça esta grande coisa? E respondeu Eliseu: o SENHOR me mostrou que tu serás rei da Síria.
Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
14 E ele se partiu de Eliseu, e veio a seu senhor, o qual lhe disse: Que te disse Eliseu? E ele respondeu: Disse-me que seguramente viverás.
Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
15 O dia seguinte tomou um pano grosso, e meteu-o em água, e estendeu-os sobre o rosto de Ben-Hadade, e morreu: e reinou Hazael em seu lugar.
But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
16 No quinto ano de Jorão filho de Acabe rei de Israel, e sendo Josafá rei de Judá, começou a reinar Jeorão filho de Josafá rei de Judá.
After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
17 De trinta e dois anos era quando começou a reinar, e oito anos reinou em Jerusalém.
He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 E andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, como fez a casa de Acabe, porque uma filha de Acabe foi sua mulher; e fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR.
His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
19 Contudo, o SENHOR não quis destruir Judá, por amor de Davi seu servo, como lhe havia prometido dar-lhe lâmpada de seus filhos perpetuamente.
But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
20 Em seu tempo Edom rebelou-se de sob o domínio de Judá, e puseram rei sobre si.
During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
21 Jeorão, portanto, passou a Seir, e todos seus carros com ele: e levantando-se de noite feriu aos edomitas, os quais lhe haviam cercado, e aos capitães dos carros: e o povo fugiu a suas moradas.
So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
22 Separou-se não obstante Edom de sob a domínio de Judá, até hoje. Rebelou-se ademais Libna no mesmo tempo.
So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
23 Os demais dos feitos de Jeorão, e todas as coisas que fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
[If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
24 E descansou Jeorão com seus pais, e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de Davi: e reinou em lugar seu Acazias, seu filho.
Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
25 No ano doze de Jeorão filho de Acabe rei de Israel, começou a reinar Acazias filho de Jeorão rei de Judá.
After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
26 De vinte e dois anos era Acazias quando começou a reinar, e reinou um ano em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Atalia filha de Onri rei de Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
27 E andou no caminho da casa de Acabe, e fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, como a casa de Acabe: porque era genro da casa de Acabe.
King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
28 E foi à guerra com Jorão filho de Acabe a Ramote de Gileade, contra Hazael rei da Síria; e os sírios feriram a Jorão.
Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
29 E o rei Jorão se voltou a Jezreel, para curar-se das feridas que os sírios lhe fizeram diante de Ramote, quando lutou contra Hazael rei da Síria. E desceu Acazias filho de Jeorão rei de Judá, para visitar Jorão filho de Acabe em Jezreel, porque estava enfermo.
King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
