2 Kings 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.	1 Tendo morrido Acab, Moab revoltou-se contra Israel.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”	2 Ocozias, que se encontrava em seu quarto alto, na Samaria, caiu da janela e feriu-se gravemente. Enviou então mensageiros, aos quais disse: Ide consultar Baal-Zebub, deus de Acaron, para saber se serei curado de meu mal.
3 And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?	3 Mas o anjo do Senhor falou a Elias, o tesbita: Sobe ao encontro dos mensageiros do rei de Samaria, e dize-lhes: Não há porventura um Deus em Israel, para irdes consultar Baal-Zebub, deus de Acaron?
4 For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ” And Elijah went away.	4 Por isso eis o que diz o Senhor: Não te levantarás do leito a que subiste, mas morrerás. E Elias partiu.
5 And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”	5 Os mensageiros voltaram para Ocozias, e este lhes perguntou: Por que voltais?
6 But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’ ”	6 Eles responderam: Um homem nos veio ao encontro e nos disse: Ide, voltai para o vosso rei e dizei-lhe: Isto diz o Senhor: Não há porventura Deus em Israel, para que mandes consultar Baal-Zebub, deus de Acaron? Por isso não te levantarás do leito a que subiste; vais morrer.
7 And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”	7 Ocozias disse-lhes: Como era esse homem que veio ao vosso encontro e vos falou desse modo?
8 So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”	8 Era um homem coberto de pelos, responderam-lhe, que trazia uma cinta de couro em volta dos rins. O rei disse: É Elias, o tesbita.
9 And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”	9 Imediatamente enviou-lhe o rei um chefe com seus cinqüenta homens. Este foi ter com Elias, que estava sentado no cimo dum monte, e disse-lhe: Ó homem de Deus, desce depressa, pois é ordem do rei.
10 And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.	10 Elias respondeu: Se sou um homem de Deus, venha fogo do céu e vos devore, a ti e aos teus cinqüenta homens. E o fogo, caindo do céu, devorou o chefe e seus cinqüenta homens.
11 And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”	11 O rei mandou outro chefe com os seus cinqüenta homens, o qual, chegando aonde estava Elias, lhe disse; Ó homem de Deus, esta é a ordem do rei: desce imediatamente.
12 Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.	12 Se sou um homem de Deus, respondeu Elias, venha fogo do céu e te devore com os teus cinqüenta homens. E o fogo, caindo do céu, devorou o chefe e seus cinqüenta homens.
13 Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.	13 Pela terceira vez, mandou o rei um chefe com os seus cinqüenta homens, o qual, chegando aonde estava Elias, pôs-se de joelhos e suplicou-lhe, dizendo: Peço-te, ó homem de Deus, que a minha vida tenha algum valor aos teus olhos e a destes cinqüenta homens teus servos.
14 Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”	14 Veio fogo do céu e devorou os dois primeiros chefes; mas, agora, que minha vida tenha algum valor aos teus olhos!
15 Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.	15 O anjo do Senhor disse a Elias: Desce com este homem; não temas. Elias levantou-se e desceu com ele à casa do rei.
16 And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”	16 Disse-lhe: Eis o que diz o Senhor: Porque enviaste mensageiros a consultar Baal-Zebub, deus de Acaron, não te levantarás mais do leito a que subiste; mas morrerás.
17 And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.	17 Ocozias morreu, segundo a palavra que o Senhor tinha dito pelo profeta Elias, e seu irmão Jorão sucedeu-lhe o trono, no segundo ano de Jorão, filho de Josafá, rei de Judá, porque Ocozias não tinha filhos.
18 But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?	18 O resto da história de Ocozias e suas ações, tudo está consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.
