2 Reis 9
1 Então o profeta Eliseu chamou a um dos filhos dos profetas, e disse-lhe: Cinge teus lombos, e toma esta vasilha de azeite em tua mão, e vai a Ramote de Gileade.
Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
2 E quando chegares ali, verás ali a Jeú filho de Josafá filho de Ninsi; e entrando, faze-o se levantar dentre seus irmãos, e mete-o na recâmara.
When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
3 Toma logo a vasilha de azeite, e derrama-a sobre sua cabeça, e dize: Assim disse o SENHOR: Eu te ungi por rei sobre Israel. E abrindo a porta, lança-te a fugir, e não esperes.
and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
4 Foi, pois, o jovem, o jovem do profeta, a Ramote de Gileade.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
5 E quando ele entrou, eis que os príncipes do exército que estavam sentados. E ele disse: Príncipe, uma palavra tenho que dizer-te. E Jeú disse: A qual de todos nós? E ele disse: A ti, príncipe.
When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
6 E ele se levantou, e entrou-se em casa; e o outro derramou o azeite sobre sua cabeça, e disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR Deus de Israel: Eu te ungi por rei sobre o povo do SENHOR, sobre Israel.
So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
7 E ferirás a casa de Acabe teu senhor, para que eu vingue o sangue de meus servos os profetas, e o sangue de todos os servos do SENHOR, da mão de Jezabel.
You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
8 E perecerá toda a casa de Acabe, e exterminarei de Acabe todo macho, tanto ao escravo como ao livre em Israel.
You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
9 E eu porei a casa de Acabe como a casa de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, e como a casa de Baasa filho de Aías.
I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
10 E a Jezabel comerão cães no campo de Jezreel, e não haverá quem a sepulte. Em seguida abriu a porta, e lançou a fugir.
And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
11 Depois saiu Jeú aos servos de seu senhor, e disseram-lhe: Há paz? para que entrou a ti aquele louco? E ele lhes disse: Vós conheceis ao homem e suas palavras.
When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
12 E eles disseram: Mentira; declara-o a nós agora. E ele disse: Assim e assim me falou, dizendo: Assim disse o SENHOR: Eu te ungi por rei sobre Israel.
They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
13 Então tomaram prontamente sua roupa, e a pôs cada um debaixo dele em um trono alto, e tocaram trombeta, e disseram: Jeú é rei.
Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
14 Assim conjurou Jeú filho de Josafá filho de Ninsi, contra Jorão. (Estava Jorão guardando a Ramote de Gileade com todo Israel, por causa de Hazael rei da Síria.
King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
15 Havia-se, porém, voltado o rei Jorão a Jezreel, para curar-se das feridas que os sírios lhe haviam feito, lutando contra Hazael rei da Síria.) E Jeú disse: Se é vossa vontade, ninguém escape da cidade, para ir a dar as novas em Jezreel.
16 Então Jeú cavalgou, e foi-se a Jezreel, porque Jorão estava ali enfermo. Também Acazias rei de Judá havia descido a visitar a Jorão.
Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
17 E o atalaia que estava na torre de Jezreel, viu a tropa de Jeú, que vinha, e disse: Eu vejo uma tropa. E Jorão disse: Toma um cavaleiro, e envia a reconhecê-los, e que lhes diga: Há paz?
A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
18 Foi pois o cavaleiro a reconhecê-los, e disse: O rei diz assim: Há paz? E Jeú lhe disse: Que tens tu que ver com a paz? Sai da minha frente. O atalaia deu logo aviso, dizendo: O mensageiro chegou até eles, e não volta.
So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
19 Então enviou outro cavaleiro, o qual chegando a eles, disse: O rei diz assim: Há paz? E Jeú respondeu: Que tens tu que ver com a paz? Sai da minha frente.
So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
20 O atalaia voltou a dizer: Também este chegou a eles e não volta: mas o marchar do que vem é como o marchar de Jeú filho de Ninsi, porque vem impetuosamente.
Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
21 Então Jorão disse: Prepara. E preparado que foi seu carro, saiu Jorão rei de Israel, e Acazias rei de Judá, cada um em seu carro, e saíram a encontrar a Jeú, ao qual acharam na propriedade de Nabote de Jezreel.
Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
22 E em vendo Jorão a Jeú, disse: Há paz, Jeú? E ele respondeu: Que paz, com as fornicações de Jezabel tua mãe, e suas muitas feitiçarias?
When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
23 Então Jorão virando a mão fugiu, e disse a Acazias: Traição, Acazias!
Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
24 Mas Jeú flechou seu arco, e feriu a Jorão entre as costas, e a seta saiu por seu coração, e caiu em seu carro.
But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
25 Disse logo Jeú a Bidcar seu capitão: Toma-o e lança-o em um lugar da propriedade de Nabote de Jezreel. Lembra-te que quando tu e eu íamos juntos com a gente de Acabe seu pai, o SENHOR pronunciou esta sentença sobre ele, dizendo:
Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
26 Que eu vi ontem os sangues de Nabote, e os sangues de seus filhos, disse o SENHOR; e tenho de dar-te a paga nesta propriedade, disse o SENHOR. Toma-lhe pois agora, e lança-o na propriedade, conforme à palavra do SENHOR.
‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
27 E vendo isto Acazias rei de Judá, fugiu pelo caminho da casa da horta. E siguiu-o Jeú, dizendo: Feri também a este no carro. E lhe feriram à subida de Gur, junto a Ibleão. E ele fugiu a Megido, e morreu ali.
When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
28 E seus servos lhe levaram em um carro a Jerusalém, e ali lhe sepultaram com seus pais, em seu sepulcro na cidade de Davi.
His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
29 No décimo primeiro ano de Jorão filho de Acabe, começou a reinar Acazias sobre Judá.
Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
30 Veio depois Jeú a Jezreel: e quando Jezabel o ouviu, adornou seus olhos, enfeitou sua cabeça, e ficou observando em uma janela.
Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
31 E quando entrava Jeú pela porta, ela disse: Sucedeu bem a Zinri, que matou a seu senhor?
While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
32 Levantando ele então seu rosto até a janela, disse: Quem é comigo? Quem? E olharam até ele dois ou três eunucos.
Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
33 E ele lhes disse: Lançai-a abaixo. E eles a lançaram: e parte de seu sangue foi salpicado na parede, e nos cavalos; e ele a atropelou.
Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
34 Entrou logo, e depois que comeu e bebeu, disse: Ide agora a ver aquela maldita, e sepultai-a; que é filha de rei.
Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
35 Porém quando foram para sepultá-la, não acharam dela mais que o crânio, e os pés, e as palmas das mãos.
But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
36 E voltaram, e disseram-no. E ele disse: A palavra de Deus é esta, a qual ele falou por meio de seu servo Elias Tisbita, dizendo: Na propriedade de Jezreel comerão os cães as carnes de Jezabel.
When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
37 E o corpo de Jezabel foi qual lixo sobre a face da terra na herdade de Jezreel; de maneira que ninguém podia dizer: Esta é Jezabel.
Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
