2 Reis 1
1 Depois da morte de Acabe, Moabe rebelou-se contra Israel.
Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
2 E Acazias caiu pela sacada de uma sala da casa que tinha em Samaria; e estando enfermo enviou mensageiros, e disse-lhes: Ide, e consultai a Baal-Zebube deus de Ecrom, se sararei desta minha enfermidade.
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
3 Então o anjo do SENHOR falou a Elias Tisbita, dizendo: Levanta-te, e sobe a encontrar-te com os mensageiros do rei de Samaria, e lhes dirás: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que vades a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom?
And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Portanto assim disse o SENHOR: Do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás. E Elias se foi.
For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’” And Elijah went away.
5 E quando os mensageiros voltaram ao rei, ele lhes disse: Por que, pois, voltastes?
And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 E eles lhe responderam: Encontramos um homem que nos disse: Ide, e voltai ao rei que vos enviou, e dizei-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que tu envias a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Portanto, do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás.
But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’”
7 Então ele lhes disse: Qual era a roupa daquele homem que encontrastes, e que vos disse tais palavras?
And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
8 E eles lhe responderam: Um homem vestido de pelos, e cingia seus lombos com um cinto de couro. Então ele disse: É Elias, o tisbita.
So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
9 E enviou logo a ele um capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta, o qual subiu a ele; e eis que ele estava sentado no cume do monte. E ele lhe disse: Homem de Deus, o rei disse que desças.
And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
10 E Elias respondeu, e disse ao capitão de cinquenta: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e consuma-te com teus cinquenta. E desceu fogo do céu, que o consumiu a ele e a seus cinquenta.
And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
11 Voltou o rei a enviar a ele outro capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta; e falou-lhe, e disse: Homem de Deus, o rei disse assim: Desce logo.
And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
12 E respondeu-lhe Elias, e disse: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e consuma-te com teus cinquenta. E desceu fogo do céu, que o consumiu a ele e a seus cinquenta.
Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
13 E voltou a enviar o terceiro capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta; e subindo aquele terceiro capitão de cinquenta, ficou de joelhos diante de Elias, e rogou-lhe, dizendo: Homem de Deus, rogo-te que diante dos teus olhos seja preciosa minha vida e a vida destes teus cinquenta servos.
Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
14 Eis que desceu fogo do céu, e consumiu os dois primeiros capitães de cinquenta, com seus cinquenta; seja agora minha vida preciosa diante de teus olhos.
Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
15 Então o anjo do SENHOR disse a Elias: Desce com ele; não tenhas dele medo. E ele se levantou, e desceu com ele ao rei.
Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
16 E disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Por que enviaste mensageiros a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Acaso não há Deus em Israel para consultar a sua palavra? Não descerás, portanto, do leito em que subiste, antes certamente morrerás.
And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
17 E morreu conforme à palavra do SENHOR que Elias havia falado; e reinou em seu lugar Jorão, no segundo ano de Jeorão, filho de Josafá rei de Judá; porque Acazias não tinha filho.
And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
18 E os demais dos feitos de Acazias, não estão escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
