1 Kings 21
1 And after these things, in that time, there was a vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab, the king of Samaria.
E sucedeu depois destas coisas, tendo Naboth, o jezreelita uma vinha, que em Jezreel estava junto ao palácio de Achab, rei de Samaria,
2 Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
Que Achab falou a Naboth, dizendo: Dá-me a tua vinha, para que me sirva de horta pois está vizinha ao pé da minha casa; e te darei por ela outra vinha melhor do que ela: ou, se parece bem aos teus olhos, dar-te-ei a sua valia em dinheiro.
3 Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Porém Naboth disse a Achab: Guarde-me o Senhor de que eu te dê a herança de meus pais.
4 Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
Então Achab veio desgostoso e indignado à sua casa, por causa da palavra que Naboth, o jezreelita, lhe falara, dizendo: Não te darei a herança de meus pais. E deitou-se na sua cama, e voltou o rosto, e não comeu pão.
5 Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
Porém, vindo a ele Jezabel, sua mulher, lhe disse: Que há, que está tão desgostoso o teu espírito, e não comes pão
6 And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’”
E ele lhe disse: Porque falei a Naboth, o jezreelita, e lhe disse: Dá-me a tua vinha por dinheiro; ou, se te apraz, te darei outra vinha em seu lugar. Porém ele disse: Não te darei a minha vinha.
7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
Então Jezabel, sua mulher lhe disse: Governas tu agora no reino de Israel? levanta-te, come pão, e alegre-se o teu coração: eu te darei a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita.
8 And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
Então escreveu cartas em nome de Achab, e as selou com o seu sinete; e mandou as cartas aos anciãos e aos nobres que havia na sua cidade e habitavam com Naboth.
9 And this was the judgment of the letters: “Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
E escreveu nas cartas, dizendo: apregoai um jejum, e ponde a Naboth acima do povo.
10 And send out two men, sons of Belial, against him. And let them speak the false testimony: ‘He has blasphemed God and king.’ And then lead him away, and stone him, and so let him die.”
E ponde defronte dele dois homens, filhos de Belial, que testemunhem contra ele, dizendo: blasfemaste contra Deus e contra o rei: e trazei-o fora, e apedrejai-o para que morra.
11 Then his fellow citizens, those greater by birth and the nobles who were living with him in the city, did just as Jezebel had instructed them, and just as it was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
E os homens da sua cidade, os anciãos e os nobres que habitavam na sua cidade, fizeram como Jezabel lhes ordenara, conforme estava escrito nas cartas que lhes mandara.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and they caused Naboth to sit among the first rulers of the people.
Apregoaram um jejum, e puseram a Naboth acima do povo.
13 And bringing forward two men, sons of the devil, they caused them to sit opposite him. And they, acting indeed like diabolical men, spoke testimony against him before the multitude: “Naboth has blasphemed God and king.” For this reason, they led him away, beyond the city, and they put him to death by stoning.
Então vieram dois homens, filhos de Belial, e puseram-se defronte dele; e os homens, filhos de Belial, testemunharam contra ele, contra Naboth, perante o povo, dizendo: Naboth blasfemou contra Deus e contra o rei. E o levaram para fora da cidade, e o apedrejaram com pedras, e morreu.
14 And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he has died.”
Então enviaram a Jezabel, dizendo: Naboth foi apedrejado, e morreu.
15 Then it happened that, when Jezebel had heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab: “Rise up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, who was not willing to acquiesce to you, and to give it to you in exchange for money. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
E sucedeu que, ouvindo Jezabel que já fôra apedrejado Naboth, e morrera, disse Jezabel a Achab: Levanta-te, e possui a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita, a qual te recusou dar por dinheiro; porque Naboth não vive, mas é morto.
16 And when Ahab had heard this, namely, that Naboth was dead, he rose up and descended to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, so that he might take possession of it.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo Achab, que já Naboth era morto, Achab se levantou, para descer para a vinha de Naboth, o jezreelita, para a possuir.
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Elias, o tesbita, dizendo:
18 “Rise up, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it.
Levanta-te, desce para encontrar-te com Achab, rei de Israel, que está em Samaria: eis que está na vinha de Naboth, aonde tem descido para a possuir.
19 And you shall speak to him, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’”
E falar-lhe-ás, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não mataste e tomaste a herança? falar-lhe-ás mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: No lugar em que os cães lamberam o sangue de Naboth os cães lamberão o teu sangue, o teu mesmo.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?” And he said: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord:
E disse Achab a Elias: Já me achaste, inimigo meu? E ele disse: Achei-te; porquanto já te vendeste para fazeres o que é mau aos olhos do Senhor.
21 ‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel.
Eis que trarei mal sobre ti, e arrancarei a tua posteridade, e arrancarei de Achab a todo o homem, como também o encerrado e o desamparado em Israel;
22 And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’
E farei a tua casa como a casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, e como a casa de Baása, filho de Ahias: por causa da provocação, com que me provocaste e fizeste pecar a Israel.
23 And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, saying: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel.
E também acerca de Jezabel falou o Senhor, dizendo: Os cães comerão a Jezabel junto ao antemuro de Jezreel.
24 If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’”
Aquele que de Achab morrer na cidade os cães o comerão: e o que morrer no campo as aves do céu o comerão.
25 And so, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on.
Porém ninguém fôra como Achab, que se vendera para fazer o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor: porque Jezabel, sua mulher, o incitava.
26 And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel.
E fez grandes abominações, seguindo os ídolos, conforme a tudo o que fizeram os amorreus, os quais o Senhor lançou fora da sua possessão, de diante dos filhos de Israel.
27 Then, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast.
Sucedeu pois que Achab, ouvindo estas palavras, rasgou os seus vestidos, e cobriu a sua carne de saco, e jejuou: e jazia em saco, e andava mansamente.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying:
Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Elias tesbita, dizendo:
29 “Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Therefore, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. Instead, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.”
Não viste que Achab se humilha perante mim? porquanto pois se humilha perante mim, não trarei este mal nos seus dias, mas nos dias de seu filho trarei este mal sobre a sua casa.
