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 descendants in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, including the elders and the guardians of Ahab's descendants, 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,

“Your master's descendants are with you, and you also have chariots and horses and a fortified city and armor. So then, as soon as this letter comes to you,

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.

select the best and most deserving of your master's descendants and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's royal line.”

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

But they were terrified and said among themselves, “See, the two kings could not stand before Jehu. So how can we stand?”

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.

Then the man who was in charge of the palace, and the man who was over the city, and the elders also, and they who raised the children, sent word back to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants. We will do everything that you command us. We will not make any man king. Do what is good in your eyes.”

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 Jehu wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, you must take the heads of the men of your master's descendants, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king's descendants, seventy in number, were with the important men of the city, who were bringing them up.

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.

So when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and killed them, seventy persons, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu in 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.

A messenger came to Jehu, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” So he said, “Put them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the 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?

In the morning Jehu went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are innocent. See, I plotted against my master and killed him, but who killed all 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 you should certainly realize that no part of Yahweh's word, the word that he spoke concerning the family of Ahab, will fall to the ground, for Yahweh has done what he spoke about through 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.

So Jehu killed all who remained in the family of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his important men, his close friends, and his priests, until none of them remained.

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

Then Jehu arose and left; he went to Samaria. As he was arriving at Beth Eked of the shepherd,

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 met brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. Jehu said to them, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of Queen Jezebel.”

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.

Jehu said to his own men, “Take them alive.” So they took them alive and killed them at the well of Beth Eked, all forty-two men. He did not leave any of them alive.

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.

When Jehu had left there, he met Jehonadab son of Recab coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart with me, as my heart is with yours?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave Jehu his hand, and Jehu took Jehonadab up with him into the chariot.

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

Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So he had Jonadab ride along with him 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.

When he came to Samaria, Jehu killed all who remained from Ahab's descendants in Samaria, until he had destroyed Ahab's royal line, just as was told them before by the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken to Elijah.

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

Then Jehu gathered all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.

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 call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers, and all his priests. Let no one be left out, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal. Whoever does not come will not live.” But Jehu did this deceitfully, with the intent to kill the worshipers of Baal.

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

Jehu said, “Set a time to have an assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.

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.

Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. They came into the temple of Baal, and it was filled from one end to another.

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

Jehu said to the man who kept the priest's wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal.” So the man brought out robes to 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.

So Jehu went with Jehonadab son of Recab into the house of Baal, and he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search and make sure that there is no one here with you from the servants of Yahweh, but the worshipers of Baal alone.”

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 went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had chosen eighty men who were standing outside, and he told them, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escapes, whoever lets that man escape, his life will be taken for the life of the one who escaped.”

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.

So then as soon as Jehu finished offering the burnt offering, he said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them. Let no one come out.” So they killed them with the edge of the sword, and the guard and the captains threw them out and went into the inner room of the house of Baal.

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

They dragged out the stone pillars that were in the house of Baal, and they burned them.

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

Then they broke down the pillar of Baal, and destroyed the house of Baal and made it a latrine, which it is to this day.

28 Assim extinguiu Jeú a Baal de Israel.

That is how Jehu destroyed Baal worship 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.

But Jehu did not leave the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he made Israel sin—that is, the worship of the golden calves 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.

So Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing what was right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel 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 took no care to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, by which he made Israel 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 Yahweh began to cut off regions from Israel, and Hazael defeated the Israelites at the borders 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 eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the Valley of the Arnon, through Gilead to 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?

As for the other matters concerning Jehu, and all that he did, and all his power, are they not written in the book of the events 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.

Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Then Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

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

The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
