2 Kings 8

1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

E falou Eliseo àquela mulher cujo filho vivificara, dizendo: Levanta-te, e vai-te, tu e a tua família, e peregrina onde poderes peregrinar; porque o Senhor chamou a fome, a qual também virá à terra por sete anos.

2 So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

E levantou-se a mulher, e fez conforme a palavra do homem de Deus: porque foi ela com a sua família, e peregrinou na terra dos philisteus sete anos.

3 And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.

E sucedeu que, ao cabo dos sete anos, a mulher voltou da terra dos philisteus, e saiu a clamar ao rei pela sua casa e pelas suas terras.

4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

Ora o rei falava a Geazi, moço do homem de Deus, dizendo: Conta-me, peço-te, todas as grandes obras que Eliseo tem feito.

5 And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

E sucedeu que, contando ele ao rei como vivificara a um morto, eis que a mulher cujo filho vivificara clamou ao rei pela sua casa e pelas suas terras: então disse Geazi: Ó rei meu senhor, esta é a mulher, e este o seu filho a quem Eliseo vivificou.

6 And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.

E o rei perguntou à mulher, e ela lho contou: então o rei lhe deu um eunuco, dizendo: Faze-lhe restituir tudo quanto era seu, e todas as rendas das terras desde o dia em que deixou a terra até agora.

7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.

Depois veio Eliseo a Damasco, estando Benhadad, rei da Síria, doente; e lho anunciaram, dizendo: O homem de Deus é chegado aqui.

8 Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?

Então o rei disse a Hazael: Toma um presente na tua mão, e vai a encontrar-te com o homem de Deus; e pergunta por ele ao Senhor, dizendo: Hei de eu sarar desta doença?

9 So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

Foi pois Hazael a encontrar-se com ele, e tomou um presente na sua mão, a saber: de todo o bom de Damasco, quarenta camelos carregados; e veio, e se pôs diante dele, e disse: Teu filho Benhadad, rei da Síria, me enviou a ti, a dizer: Sararei eu desta doença?

10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

E Eliseo lhe disse: vai, e dize-lhe: Certamente não sararás. Porque o Senhor me tem mostrado que certamente morrerá.

11 And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.

E afirmou a sua vista, e fitou os olhos nele até se envergonhar: e chorou o homem de Deus.

12 And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

Então disse Hazael: Porque chora, meu senhor? E ele disse: Porque sei o mal que as de fazer aos filhos de Israel: porás fogo às suas fortalezas, e os seus mancebos matarás à espada, e os seus meninos despedaçarás, e as suas prenhadas fenderás.

13 And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.

E disse Hazael: Pois que é teu servo, que não é mais do que um cão, para fazer tão grande coisa? E disse Eliseo: O Senhor me tem mostrado que tu as de ser rei da Síria.

14 Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.

Então partiu de Eliseo, e veio a seu senhor, o qual lhe disse: Que te disse Eliseo? E disse ele: Disse-me que certamente sararás.

15 Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.

E sucedeu ao outro dia que tomou um cobertor, e o molhou na água, e o estendeu sobre o seu rosto, e morreu: e Hazael reinou em seu lugar.

16 In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

E no ano quinto de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei de Israel, reinando ainda Josaphat em Judá, começou a reinar Jehorão, filho de Josaphat, rei de Judá.

17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

Era ele da idade de trinta e dois anos quando começou a reinar, e oito anos reinou em Jerusalém.

18 He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

E andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, como também fizeram os da casa de Achab, porque tinha por mulher a filha de Achab, e fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.

19 But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

Porém o Senhor não quis destruir a Judá por amor de David, seu servo, como lhe tinha dito que lhe daria para sempre uma lâmpada a seus filhos.

20 In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

Nos seus dias se rebelaram os edomitas de debaixo do mando de Judá, e puseram sobre si um rei.

21 Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.

Pelo que Jehorão passou a Zair, e todos os carros com ele: e ele se levantou de noite, e feriu os edomitas que estavam ao redor dele, e os capitães dos carros; e o povo se foi para as suas tendas.

22 So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

Todavia os edomitas ficaram rebeldes de debaixo do mando de Judá até ao dia de hoje: então também se rebelou Libna no mesmo tempo.

23 Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

O mais dos sucessos de Jehorão, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas de Judá?

24 And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

E Jehorão dormiu com seus pais, e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de David: e Achazias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

25 In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;

No ano doze de Jorão, filho de Achab, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judá.

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

Era Achazias de vinte e dois anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou um ano em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Athalia, filha de Omri, rei de Israel.

27 He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.

E andou no caminho da casa de Achab, e fez mal aos olhos do Senhor, como a casa de Achab, porque era genro da casa de Achab.

28 He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

E foi com Jorão, filho de Achab, a Ramoth de Gilead, à peleja contra Hazael, rei da Síria; e os siros feriram a Jorão.

29 So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.

Então se voltou o rei Jorão para se curar em Jizreel das feridas que os siros lhe fizeram em Rama, quando pelejou contra Hazael, rei da Síria: e desceu Achazias, filho de Jehorão, rei de Judá, para ver a Jorão, filho de Achab, em Jizreel, porquanto estava doente.
