2 Reis 1
1 Depois da morte de Acabe, Moabe rebelou-se contra Israel.
Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 E Acazias caiu pela sacada de uma sala da casa que tinha em Samaria; e estando enfermo enviou mensageiros, e disse-lhes: Ide, e consultai a Baal-Zebube deus de Ecrom, se sararei desta minha enfermidade.
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover from this disease.
3 Então o anjo do SENHOR falou a Elias Tisbita, dizendo: Levanta-te, e sobe a encontrar-te com os mensageiros do rei de Samaria, e lhes dirás: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que vades a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom?
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
4 Portanto assim disse o SENHOR: Do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás. E Elias se foi.
Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
5 E quando os mensageiros voltaram ao rei, ele lhes disse: Por que, pois, voltastes?
And when the messengers returned to him, he said to them, Why have ye now returned?
6 E eles lhe responderam: Encontramos um homem que nos disse: Ide, e voltai ao rei que vos enviou, e dizei-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que tu envias a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Portanto, do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás.
And they said to him, There came up a man to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
7 Então ele lhes disse: Qual era a roupa daquele homem que encontrastes, e que vos disse tais palavras?
And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8 E eles lhe responderam: Um homem vestido de pelos, e cingia seus lombos com um cinto de couro. Então ele disse: É Elias, o tisbita.
And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a leather belt about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 E enviou logo a ele um capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta, o qual subiu a ele; e eis que ele estava sentado no cume do monte. E ele lhe disse: Homem de Deus, o rei disse que desças.
Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spoke to him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
10 E Elias respondeu, e disse ao capitão de cinquenta: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e consuma-te com teus cinquenta. E desceu fogo do céu, que o consumiu a ele e a seus cinquenta.
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Voltou o rei a enviar a ele outro capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta; e falou-lhe, e disse: Homem de Deus, o rei disse assim: Desce logo.
Again also he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
12 E respondeu-lhe Elias, e disse: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e consuma-te com teus cinquenta. E desceu fogo do céu, que o consumiu a ele e a seus cinquenta.
And Elijah answered and said to them, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 E voltou a enviar o terceiro capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta; e subindo aquele terceiro capitão de cinquenta, ficou de joelhos diante de Elias, e rogou-lhe, dizendo: Homem de Deus, rogo-te que diante dos teus olhos seja preciosa minha vida e a vida destes teus cinquenta servos.
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14 Eis que desceu fogo do céu, e consumiu os dois primeiros capitães de cinquenta, com seus cinquenta; seja agora minha vida preciosa diante de teus olhos.
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
15 Então o anjo do SENHOR disse a Elias: Desce com ele; não tenhas dele medo. E ele se levantou, e desceu com ele ao rei.
And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
16 E disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Por que enviaste mensageiros a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Acaso não há Deus em Israel para consultar a sua palavra? Não descerás, portanto, do leito em que subiste, antes certamente morrerás.
And he said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
17 E morreu conforme à palavra do SENHOR que Elias havia falado; e reinou em seu lugar Jorão, no segundo ano de Jeorão, filho de Josafá rei de Judá; porque Acazias não tinha filho.
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 E os demais dos feitos de Acazias, não estão escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
