2 Kings 18
1 And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Hezekiah, the son of Achaz the king of Judah, became king.
E sucedeu que, no terceiro ano de Hoseas, filho de Ela, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Ezequias, filho de Achaz, rei de Judá.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he became king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
Tinha vinte e cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e vinte e nove anos reinou em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Abi, filha de Zacarias.
3 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that David his father had done.
E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizera David, seu pai.
4 He it was that removed the high-places, and broke the statues, and cut down the groves, and stamped in pieces the copper serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days were the children of Israel burning incense to it; and he called it Nechushtan.
Este tirou os altos, e quebrou as estátuas, e deitou abaixo os bosques, e fez em pedaços a serpente de metal que Moisés fizera; porquanto até àquele dia os filhos de Israel lhe queimavam incenso, e lhe chamaram Nehustan.
5 In the Lord the God of Israel did he trust; and after him there was not his like among all the kings of Judah, nor among those that were before him.
No Senhor Deus de Israel confiou, de maneira que depois dele não houve seu semelhante entre todos os reis de Judá, nem entre os que foram antes dele.
6 And he adhered to the Lord, and turned not away from following him; but he kept his commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
Porque se chegou ao Senhor, não se apartou de após ele, e guardou os mandamentos que o Senhor tinha dado a Moisés.
7 And the Lord was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
Assim foi o Senhor com ele; para onde quer que saiu se conduzia com prudência: e se rebelou contra o rei da Assyria, e não o serviu.
8 He it was that smote the Philistines, as far as Gazzah, and its territory, from the tower of the watchmen up to the fortified city.
Ele feriu os philisteus até Gaza, como também os termos dela, desde a torre dos atalaias até à cidade forte.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Shalmanesser the king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
E sucedeu, no quarto ano do rei Ezequias (que era o sétimo ano de Hoseas, filho de Ela, rei de Israel), que Salmanasar, rei d'Assyria, subiu contra Samaria, e a cercou.
10 And they captured it at the end of three years, —in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea' the king of Israel, was Samaria captured.
E a tomaram ao fim de três anos, no ano sexto d'Ezequias, que era o ano nono de Hoseas, rei de Israel, quando tomaram Samaria.
11 And the king of Assyria led away Israel as exiles unto Assyria, and transported them to Chalach and to Chabor, by the river of Gozan, and to the cities of Media;
E o rei d'Assyria transportou a Israel para a Assyria: e os fez levar a Halah e a Habor, junto ao rio de Gozan, e às cidades dos medos;
12 Because they had not obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, but had transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded; and had not obeyed, nor done accordingly.
Porquanto não obedeceram à voz do Senhor seu Deus, antes traspassaram o seu concerto; e tudo quanto Moisés, servo do Senhor, tinha ordenado, nem o ouviram nem o fizeram.
13 And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib the king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seized on them.
Porém no ano décimo quarto do rei Ezequias subiu Sanherib, rei d'Assyria, contra todas as cidades fortes de Judá, e as tomou.
14 And Hezekiah the king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have sinned; retire from me: what thou wilt impose on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah the king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Então Ezequias, rei de Judá, enviou ao rei d'Assyria, a Lachis, dizendo: Pequei; torna-te de mim; tudo o que me impuzeres levarei. Então o rei d'Assyria impoz a Ezequias, rei de Judá, trezentos talentos de prata e trinta talentos de ouro.
15 And Hezekiah gave up all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Assim deu Ezequias toda a prata que se achou na casa do Senhor e nos tesouros da casa do rei.
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the door-sills which Hezekiah the king of Judah had overlaid, and gave the same to the king of Assyria.
Naquele tempo cortou Ezequias o ouro das portas do templo do Senhor, e das hombreiras, de que Ezequias, rei de Judá, as cobrira, e o deu ao rei d'Assyria.
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tharthan and Rub-sariss and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a strong army against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem; and when they were come up, they came and halted by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the washer's field.
Contudo enviou o rei d'Assyria a Tartan, e a Rabsaris, e a Rabsaké, de Lachis, com um grande exército ao rei Ezequias, a Jerusalém: e subiram, e vieram a Jerusalém; e, subindo e vindo ele, pararam ao pé do aqueduto da piscina superior, que está junto ao caminho do campo do lavandeiro.
18 And they called for the king, when there came out to them Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder.
E chamaram o rei, e saiu a eles Eliakim, filho de Hilkias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joah, filho d'Asaph, o chanceler.
19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherewith thou hast trusted?
E Rabsaké lhes disse: Ora dizei a Ezequias: Assim diz o grande rei, o rei d'Assyria: Que confiança é esta em que confias?
20 Thou saidst, but it was only a word uttered with the lips, [I have] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom didst thou trust, that thou rebelledst against me?
Dizes tu (porém palavra de beiços é): há conselho e poder para a guerra. Em quem pois agora confias, que contra mim te rebelas?
21 Now, behold, thou trustedst thee upon yon cracked reed-staff, upon Egypt, which, if a man lean on it, will enter into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
Eis que agora tu confias naquele bordão de cana quebrada, no Egito, no qual, se alguém se encostar, entrar-lhe-á pela mão e lha furará: assim é faraó, rei do Egito, para com todos os que nele confiam.
22 But if ye should say unto me, In the Lord our God have we trusted: is he not the one whose high-places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, when he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar shall ye prostrate yourselves in Jerusalem?
Se porém me disserdes: No Senhor nosso Deus confiamos: porventura não é este aquele cujos altos e cujos altares Ezequias tirou, e disse a Judá e a Jerusalém: Perante este altar vos inclinareis em Jerusalém?
23 And now, I pray thee, enter into a contest with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Ora pois dá agora reféns ao meu senhor, o rei da Assyria, e dar-te-ei dois mil cavalos, se tu poderes dar cavaleiros para eles.
24 How then wilt thou turn back the face of a single chieftain among the least of my master's servants, while thou hast put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!
Como pois farias virar o rosto dum só príncipe dos menores servos de meu senhor? Porém tu confias no Egito, por causa dos carros e cavaleiros.
25 Now am I come up without the Lord ['s will] against this place to destroy it? The Lord hath said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Agora pois subi eu porventura sem o Senhor contra este lugar, para o destruir? O Senhor me disse: Sobe contra esta terra, e destroi-a.
26 Then said Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, and Shebnah, and Yoach, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jewish language before the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Então disse Eliakim, filho de Hilkias, e Sebna, e Joah, a Rabsaké: Rogamos-te que fales aos teus servos em syriaco; porque bem o entendemos; e não nos fales em judaico, aos ouvidos do povo que está em cima do muro.
27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master then sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? is it not rather to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own excrement, and drink their own urine with you?
Porém Rabsaké lhes disse: Porventura mandou-me meu senhor só a teu senhor e a ti, para falar estas palavras? e não antes aos homens, que estão sentados em cima do muro, para que juntamente convosco comam o seu esterco e bebam a sua urina?
28 Then stood Rabshakeh up and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, and said, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
Rabsaké pois se pôs em pé, e clamou em alta voz em judaico, e falou, e disse: Ouvi a palavra do grande rei, do rei da Assyria.
29 Thus hath said the king. Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand;
Assim diz o rei: Não vos engane Ezequias; porque não vos poderá livrar da sua mão;
30 Neither let Hezekiah induce you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria:
Nem tão pouco vos faça Ezequias confiar no Senhor, dizendo: Certamente nos livrará o Senhor, e esta cidade não será entregue na mão do rei da Assyria.
31 Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus hath said the king of Assyria, Make a treaty of peace with me, and come out to me, and eat ye every man of his own vine, and every man of his fig-tree, and drink ye every man the waters of his cistern;
Não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque assim diz o rei da Assyria: contratai comigo por presentes, e saí a mim, e coma cada um da sua vide, e da sua figueira, e beba cada um a água da sua cisterna,
32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil-olive trees, and of honey, that ye may live, and not die; and hearken not unto Hezekiah; for he will mislead you, saying, The Lord will deliver us.
Até que eu venha, e vos leve para uma terra como a vossa, terra de trigo e de mosto, terra de pão e de vinhas, terra de oliveiras, de azeite, e de mel; e assim vivereis, e não morrereis: e não deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque vos incita, dizendo: O Senhor nos livrará.
33 Have the gods of the nations delivered in anywise each his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Porventura os deuses das nações puderam livrar, cada um a sua terra, das mãos do rei da Assyria?
34 Where are the gods of Chamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvayim, Hena', and 'Ivvah? have they then delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Que é feito dos deuses de Hamath e de Arpad? Que é feito dos deuses de Sepharvaim, Hena e Iva? porventura livraram a Samaria da minha mão?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Quais são eles, dentre todos os deuses das terras, que livraram a sua terra da minha mão? para que o Senhor livrasse a Jerusalém da minha mão?
36 But the people remained silent, and answered him not a word; for it was the king's command, saying, Ye shall not answer him.
Porém calou-se o povo, e não lhe respondeu uma só palavra; porque mandado do rei havia, dizendo: Não lhe respondereis.
37 Then came Elyakim the son of Chilkiyah, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent; and they told unto him the words of Rabshakeh.
Então Eliakim, filho d'Hilkias, o mordomo, e Sebna, o escrivão, e Joah, filho de Asaph, o chanceler, vieram a Ezequias com os vestidos rasgados, e lhe fizeram saber as palavras de Rabsaké.
