1 Kings 22
1 Now for three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
E estiveram quietos três anos, não havendo guerra entre Síria e Israel.
2 And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.
Porém no terceiro ano sucedeu que Josaphat, rei de Judá, desceu para o rei de Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.
E o rei de Israel disse aos seus servos: Não sabeis vós que Ramoth de Gilead é nossa? e nós estamos quietos, sem a tomar da mão do rei da Síria?
4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
Então disse a Josaphat: Irás tu comigo à peleja a Ramoth de Gilead? E disse Josaphat ao rei de Israel: Serei como tu, e o meu povo como o teu povo, e os meus cavalos como os teus cavalos.
5 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
Disse mais Josaphat ao rei de Israel: Consulta porém primeiro hoje a palavra do Senhor.
6 So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
Então o rei de Israel ajuntou os profetas até quase quatrocentos homens, e disse-lhes: Irei à peleja contra Ramoth de Gilead, ou deixarei de ir? E eles disseram: Sobe, porque o Senhor a entregará na mão do rei.
7 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
Disse porém Josaphat: Não há aqui ainda algum profeta do Senhor, ao qual possamos consultar?
8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Então disse o rei de Israel a Josaphat: Ainda há um homem por quem podemos consultar ao Senhor; porém eu o aborreço, porque nunca profetiza de mim bem, mas só mal; este é Micha, filho de Imla. E disse Josaphat: Não fale o rei assim
9 Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.
Então o rei de Israel chamou um eunuco, e disse: Traze-me depressa a Micha, filho de Imla.
10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.
E o rei de Israel e Josaphat, rei de Judá, estavam assentados cada um no seu trono, vestidos de vestiduras reais, na praça, à entrada da porta de Samaria: e todos os profetas profetizavam na sua presença.
11 And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
E Zedekias, filho de Chanaana, fez para si uns cornos de ferro, e disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Com estes escornearás aos siros, até de todo os consumir.
12 And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
E todos os profetas profetizaram assim, dizendo: Sobe a Ramoth de Gilead, e prosperarás, porque o Senhor a entregará na mão do rei.
13 Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.
E o mensageiro que foi chamar a Micha falou-lhe, dizendo: Vês aqui que as palavras dos profetas a uma voz predizem coisas boas para o rei: seja pois a tua palavra como a palavra dum deles, e fala bem.
14 And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
Porém Micha disse: Vive o Senhor, que o que o Senhor me disser isso falarei.
15 When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
E, vindo ele ao rei, o rei lhe disse: Micha, iremos a Ramoth de Gilead à peleja, ou deixaremos de ir? E ele lhe disse: Sobe, e serás próspero; porque o Senhor a entregará na mão do rei
16 Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?
E o rei lhe disse: Até quantas vezes te conjurarei, que me não fales senão a verdade em nome do Senhor?
17 Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.
Então disse ele: Vi a todo o Israel disperso pelos montes, como ovelhas que não tem pastor; e disse o Senhor: Estes não tem senhor; torne cada um em paz para sua casa.
18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good but of evil?
Então o rei de Israel disse a Josaphat: Não te disse eu, que nunca prophetizará de mim bem, senão só mal?
19 And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.
Então disse ele: Ouve pois a palavra do Senhor: Vi ao Senhor assentado sobre o seu trono, e todo o exército do céu estava junto a ele, à sua mão direita e à sua esquerda.
20 And the Lord said, How may Ahab be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
E disse o Senhor: Quem induzirá Achab, a que suba, e caia em Ramoth de Gilead? E um dizia desta maneira e outro doutra.
21 Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.
Então saiu um espírito, e se apresentou diante do Senhor, e disse: Eu induzirei. E o Senhor lhe disse: Com que?
22 And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
E disse ele: Eu sairei, e serei um espírito de mentira na boca de todos os seus profetas. E ele disse: Tu o induzirás, e ainda prevalecerás; sai, e faze assim.
23 And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.
Agora pois, eis que o Senhor pôs o espírito de mentira na boca de todos estes teus profetas, e o Senhor falou mal contra ti.
24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
Então Zedekias, filho de Chanaana, chegou, e feriu a Micha no queixo: e disse: Por onde passou de mim o espírito do Senhor para falar a ti?
25 And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
E disse Micha: Eis que o verás naquele mesmo dia, quando entrares de câmara em câmara, para te esconderes.
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
Então disse o rei de Israel: tomai a Micha, e tornai a traze-lo a Amon, o chefe da cidade, e a Joás filho do rei,
27 And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.
E direis: Assim diz o rei: metei este homem na casa do cárcere, e sustentai-o com o pão de angústia, e com água de amargura, até que eu venha em paz.
28 And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
E disse Micha: Se tu voltares em paz, o Senhor não tem falado por mim. Disse mais: Ouvi todos os povos!
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Assim o rei de Israel e Josaphat, rei de Judá, subiram a Ramoth de Gilead.
30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress and went into the fight.
E disse o rei de Israel a Josaphat: Eu me disfarçarei, e entrarei na peleja; tu porém veste os teus vestidos. Disfarçou-se pois o rei de Israel, e entrou na peleja.
31 Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
E o rei da Síria deu ordem aos chefes dos carros, de que tinha trinta e dois, dizendo: Não pelejareis nem contra pequeno nem contra grande, mas só contra o rei de Israel.
32 So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.
Sucedeu pois que, vendo os chefes dos carros a Josaphat, disseram eles: Certamente este é o rei de Israel. E chegaram-se a ele, para pelejar com ele: porém Josaphat exclamou.
33 And when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
E sucedeu que, vendo os chefes dos carros que não era o rei de Israel deixaram de segui-lo.
34 And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.
Então um homem entesou o arco, na sua simplicidade, e feriu o rei de Israel por entre as fivelas e as couraças; então ele disse ao seu carreteiro: Vira a tua mão, e tira-me do exército, porque estou gravemente ferido.
35 But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.
E a peleja foi crescendo naquele dia, e o rei parou no carro defronte dos siros: porém ele morreu à tarde; e o sangue da ferida corria no fundo do carro.
36 And about sundown a cry went up from all parts of the army, saying, Let every man go back to his town and his country, for the king is dead.
E depois do sol posto passou um pregão pelo exército, dizendo: Cada um para a sua cidade, e cada um para a sua terra!
37 And they came to Samaria, and put the king's body to rest in Samaria.
E morreu o rei, e o levaram a Samaria: e sepultaram o rei em Samaria.
38 And the war-carriage was washed by the pool of Samaria, which was the bathing-place of the loose women, and the dogs were drinking his blood there, as the Lord had said.
E, lavando-se o carro no tanque de Samaria, os cães lamberam o seu sangue (ora as prostitutas se lavavam ali), conforme à palavra do Senhor, que tinha dito.
39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Quanto ao mais dos sucessos d'Achab, e a tudo quanto fez, e à casa de marfim que edificou, e a todas as cidades que edificou, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
40 So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
Assim dormiu Achab com seus pais; e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
41 And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.
E Josaphat, filho de Asa, começou a reinar sobre Judá no quarto ano d'Achab, rei de Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
E era Josaphat da idade de trinta e cinco anos quando começou a reinar; e vinte e cinco anos reinou em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Azuba, filha de Silchi.
43 He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord; but the high places were not taken away: the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
E andou em todos os caminhos de seu pai Asa, não se desviou deles, fazendo o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor. Todavia os altos não se tiraram; ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
E Josaphat esteve em paz com o rei de Israel.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his great power, and how he went to war, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Quanto ao mais dos sucessos de Josaphat, e ao poder que mostrou, e como guerreou, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
46 He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.
Também desterrou da terra o resto dos rapazes escandalosos, que ficaram nos dias de seu pai Asa.
47 At that time there was no king in Edom;
Então não havia rei em Edom, porém um vice-rei.
48 And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.
E fez Josaphat navios de Tarsis, para irem a Ophir por causa do ouro; porém não foram, porque os navios se quebraram em Ezion-geber.
49 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.
Então Achazias, filho de Achab, disse a Josaphat: Vão os meus servos com os teus servos nos navios. Porém Josaphat não quis.
50 Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.
E Josaphat dormiu com seus pais, e foi sepultado junto a seus pais, na cidade de David, seu pai: e Jorão, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
51 Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.
E Achazias, filho d'Achab, começou a reinar em Samaria, no ano, dezesete de Josaphat, rei de Judá: e reinou dois anos sobre Israel.
52 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor; porque andou no caminho de seu pai, como também no caminho de sua mãe, e no caminho de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez pecar a Israel.
53 He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.
E serviu a Baal, e se inclinou diante dele: e indignou ao Senhor Deus de Israel, conforme a tudo quanto fizera seu pai.
