2 Reis 10

1 E tinha Acabe em Samaria setenta filhos; e escreveu cartas Jeú, e enviou-as a Samaria aos principais de Jezreel, aos anciãos e aos tutores de Acabe, dizendo:

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And so Jehu wrote letters, and he sent to Samaria, to the nobles of the city, and to those greater by birth, and to those who had raised Ahab’s sons, saying:

2 Logo em chegando estas cartas a vós o que tendes os filhos de vosso senhor, e os que tendes carros e cavaleiros, a cidade fortificada, e as armas,

“Immediately when you receive these letters, you who have your lord’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and reinforced cities, and weapons,

3 Olhai qual é o melhor e ele mais reto dos filhos de vosso senhor, e ponde-o no trono de seu pai, e lutai pela casa de vosso senhor.

choose him who is better and who pleases you from among the sons of your lord, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”

4 Mas eles tiveram grande temor, e disseram: Eis que dois reis não puderam resistir-lhe, como lhe resistiremos nós?

But they were vehemently afraid, and they said: “Behold, two kings were not able to stand before him. So how will we be able to withstand him?”

5 E o mordomo, e o governador da cidade, e os anciãos, e os tutores, enviaram a dizer a Jeú: Servos teus somos, e faremos tudo o que nos mandares: não elegeremos por rei a ninguém; tu farás o que bem te parecer.

Therefore, those who were in charge of the house, and the prefects of the city, and those greater by birth, and those who raised the sons, sent to Jehu, saying: “We are your servants. Whatever you will order, we will do. But we will not appoint a king for ourselves. Do whatever pleases you.”

6 Ele então lhes escreveu a segunda vez dizendo: Se sois meus, e quereis obedecer-me, tomai os chefes dos homens filhos de vosso senhor, e vinde amanhã a estas horas a mim a Jezreel. E os filhos do rei, setenta homens, estavam com os principais da cidade, que os criavam.

Then he again wrote letters to them a second time, saying: “If you are mine, and if you obey me, take the heads of the sons of your lord, and come to me at Jezreel at this same hour tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, being seventy men, were being raised with the nobles of the city.

7 E quando as cartas chegaram a eles, tomaram aos filhos do rei, e degolaram setenta homens, e puseram suas cabeças em cestos, e enviaram-nas a Jezreel.

And when the letters had arrived to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed the seventy men. And they placed their heads in baskets, and they sent these to him at Jezreel.

8 E veio um mensageiro que lhe deu as novas, dizendo: Trouxeram as cabeças dos filhos do rei. E ele lhe disse: Ponde-as em dois amontoados à entrada da porta até a manhã.

Then a messenger arrived and reported to him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he responded, “Place them in two piles, beside the entrance of the gate, until morning.”

9 Vinda a manhã, saiu ele, e estando em pé disse a todo o povo: Vós sois justos: eis que eu conspirei contra meu senhor, e o mateis: mas quem matou a todos estes?

And when it had become light, he went out. And standing there, he said to all the people: “You are just. If I have conspired against my lord, and if I have killed him, who has struck down all of these?

10 Sabei agora que da palavra do SENHOR que falou sobre a casa de Acabe, nada cairá em terra: e que o SENHOR fez o que disse por seu servo Elias.

Now therefore, see that none of the words of the Lord has fallen to the ground, which the Lord spoke over the house of Ahab, and that the Lord has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.”

11 Matou então Jeú a todos os que haviam restado da casa de Acabe em Jezreel, e a todos seus príncipes, e a todos seus familiares, e a seus sacerdotes, que não lhe restou ninguém.

And so, Jehu struck down all who had remained from the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his nobles and friends and priests, until no remnant of them was left behind.

12 E levantou-se dali, e veio a Samaria; e chegando ele no caminho a uma casa de tosa de pastores,

And he rose up and went to Samaria. And when he had arrived at the shepherds’ cabin along the way,

13 Achou ali aos irmãos de Acazias rei de Judá, e disse-lhes: Quem sois vós? E eles disseram: Somos irmãos de Acazias, e viemos a saudar aos filhos do rei, e aos filhos da rainha.

he found the brothers of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, and he said to them, “Who are you?” And they responded, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.”

14 Então ele disse: Prendei-os vivos. E depois que os tomaram vivos, eles os degolaram junto ao poço da casa de tosa, quarenta e dois homens, sem deixar ninguém deles.

And he said, “Take them alive.” And when they had taken them alive, they cut their throats at the cistern beside the cabin, forty-two men. And he did not leave any of them behind.

15 Partindo-se logo dali encontrou-se com Jonadabe filho de Recabe; e depois que o saudou, disse-lhe: É reto teu coração, como o meu é reto com o teu? E Jonadabe disse: O é. Pois que o é, dá-me a mão. E ele lhe deu sua mão. Fê-lo logo subir consigo no carro.

And when he had gone away from there, he found Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him, “Is your heart upright, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab said, “It is.” Then he said, “If it is, then give me your hand.” He gave his hand to him. And so he lifted him up to himself in the chariot.

16 E disse-lhe: Vem comigo, e verás meu zelo pelo SENHOR. Puseram-no pois em seu carro.

And he said to him, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord.” And he gave him a place in his chariot.

17 E logo que havia Jeú chegado a Samaria, matou a todos os que haviam restado de Acabe em Samaria, até extirpá-los, conforme à palavra do SENHOR, que havia falado por Elias.

And he led him into Samaria. And he struck down all who were left behind of Ahab in Samaria, even to the last one, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke through Elijah.

18 E juntou Jeú todo o povo, e disse-lhes: Acabe serviu pouco a Baal; mas Jeú o servirá muito.

Then Jehu gathered together the entire people. And he said to them: “Ahab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him even more.

19 Chamai-me, pois, logo a todos os profetas de Baal, a todos seus servos, e a todos seus sacerdotes; que não falte um, porque tenho um grande sacrifício para Baal; qualquer um que faltar, não viverá. Isto fazia Jeú com astúcia, para destruir aos que honravam a Baal.

Now therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be permitted not to come, for great is the sacrifice from me to Baal. Whoever will fail to come, he shall not live.” Now Jehu was doing this treacherously, so that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 E disse Jeú: Santificai um dia solene a Baal. E eles convocaram.

And he said: “Sanctify a day of solemnity for Baal.” And he summoned

21 E enviou Jeú por todo Israel, e vieram todos os servos de Baal, que não faltou ninguém que não viesse. E entraram no templo de Baal, e o templo de Baal se encheu de fim a fim.

and sent into all the borders of Israel. And all the servants of Baal came. There was left behind not even one who did not arrive. And they entered into the temple of Baal. And the house of Baal was filled, all the way from end to end.

22 Então disse ao que tinha o cargo das vestiduras: Tira vestiduras para todos os servos de Baal. E ele lhes tirou vestimentas.

And he said to those who were over the vestments, “Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal.” And they brought forth vestments for them.

23 E entrou Jeú com Jonadabe filho de Recabe no templo de Baal, e disse aos servos de Baal: Olhai e vede que por dita não haja aqui entre vós algum dos servos do SENHOR, a não ser somente os servos de Baal.

And Jehu, upon entering the temple of Baal with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, said to the worshippers of Baal, “Inquire and see that there is no one with you from the servants of the Lord, but only from the servants of Baal.”

24 E quando eles entraram para fazer sacrifícios e holocaustos, Jeú pôs fora oitenta homens, e disse-lhes: Qualquer um que deixar vivo algum daqueles homens que eu pus em vossas mãos, sua vida será pela do outro.

Then they entered, so that they might offer victims and holocausts. But Jehu had prepared for himself eighty men outside. And he had said to them, “If anyone escapes from among these men, whom I have led into your hands, your life will take the place of his life.”

25 E depois que acabaram eles de fazer o holocausto, Jeú disse aos de seu guarda e aos capitães: Entrai, e matai-os; que não escape ninguém. E os feriram à espada: e os da guarda e os capitães os lançaram fora, e foram até a cidade do templo de Baal.

Then it happened that, when the holocaust had been completed, Jehu ordered his soldiers and officers, saying: “Enter and strike them down. Let no one escape.” And the soldiers and officers struck them down with the edge of the sword, and they cast them out. And they went into the city of the temple of Baal,

26 E tiraram as estátuas da casa de Baal, e queimaram-nas.

and they took away the statue from the shrine of Baal, and they burned it up

27 E quebraram a estátua de Baal, e derrubaram a casa de Baal, e fizeram-na latrina, até hoje.

and crushed it. They also tore down the temple of Baal, and they made it into a latrine, even to this day.

28 Assim extinguiu Jeú a Baal de Israel.

And thus did Jehu wipe away Baal from Israel.

29 Contudo isso Jeú não se separou dos pecados de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, que fez pecar a Israel; a saber, seguindo o os bezerros de ouro que estavam em Betel e em Dã.

Yet truly, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Neither did he forsake the golden calves, which were in Bethel and Dan.

30 E o SENHOR disse a Jeú: Porquanto fizeste bem executando o que era correto diante de meus olhos, e fizeste à casa de Acabe conforme a tudo o que estava em meu coração, teus filhos se sentarão no trono de Israel até a quarta geração.

Then the Lord said to Jehu: “Since you have diligently carried out what was right and pleasing in my eyes, and since you have accomplished, against the house of Ahab, all that was in my heart, your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel, even to the fourth generation.”

31 Mas Jeú não cuidou de andar na lei do SENHOR Deus de Israel com todo seu coração, nem se separou dos pecados de Jeroboão, o que havia feito pecar a Israel.

But Jehu did not take care, so that he might walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. For he did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin.

32 Em aqueles dias começou o SENHOR a diminuir o território de Israel: e feriu-os Hazael em todos os termos de Israel,

In those days, the Lord began to be weary of Israel. And Hazael struck them throughout all the parts of Israel,

33 Desde o Jordão ao oriente, toda a terra de Gileade, de Gade, de Rúben, e de Manassés, desde Aroer que está junto ao ribeiro de Arnom, a Gileade e a Basã.

from the Jordan opposite the eastern region, in all the land of Gilead, and Gad, and Reuben, and Manasseh, from Aroer, which is above the torrent Arnon, in both Gilead and Bashan.

34 Os demais dos feitos de Jeú, e todas as coisas que fez, e toda sua valentia, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?

But the rest of the words of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

35 E dormiu Jeú com seus pais, e sepultaram-no em Samaria: e reinou em seu lugar Jeoacaz seu filho.

And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz, his son, reigned in his place.

36 O tempo que reinou Jeú sobre Israel em Samaria, foi vinte e oito anos.

Now the days during which Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, were twenty-eight years.
