II Livro dos Reis 8

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Eliseu dissera à mulher, cujo filho ele ressuscitara: Parte com todos os teus, e habita no estrangeiro, porque o Senhor fez vir a fome, e ela virá sobre a terra durante sete anos.	1 Now Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had caused to live, saying: “Rise up. Go, you and your household, and sojourn in whatever place you can find. For the Lord has called forth a famine, and it shall overwhelm the land for seven years.”
2 Esta mulher fez o que lhe disse o homem de Deus: emigrou com sua família e habitou sete anos na terra dos filisteus.	2 And she rose up, and she acted in accord with the word of the man of God. And going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
3 Passados os sete anos, voltou da terra dos filisteus e foi falar ao rei a respeito de sua casa e de sua terra.	3 And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.
4 O rei estava conversando com Giezi, servo do homem de Deus, e pedia-lhe que lhe contasse os prodígios que Eliseu tinha feito.	4 Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.”
5 Giezi estava justamente contando como Eliseu havia ressuscitado um morto, quando a mulher, cujo filho ressuscitara, chegou para implorar ao rei a respeito de sua casa e de sua terra. Giezi exclamou: Ó rei, meu senhor! Eis a mulher com o filho que Eliseu ressuscitou.	5 And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.”
6 O rei interrogou a mulher, e esta narrou-lhe o acontecido. Então o rei fê-la acompanhar por um eunuco com a seguinte ordem: Faze-lhe restituir tudo o que lhe pertence, assim como todos os rendimentos de sua terra, desde o dia em que ela a deixou até o dia de hoje.	6 And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, “Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.”
7 Eliseu foi a Damasco. Ben-Hadad, rei da Síria, estava doente. Avisaram-no, dizendo: O homem de Deus está aqui.	7 Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, “The man of God has arrived here.”
8 Disse então o rei a Hazael: Toma contigo um presente e vai ao encontro do homem de Deus. Consultarás o Senhor, por seu intermédio, se sairei vivo desta enfermidade.	8 And the king said to Hazael: “Take with you gifts. And go to meet the man of God. And consult the Lord through him, saying: ‘Will I be able to escape from this, my infirmity?’ ”
9 Hazael partiu e foi ao encontro do homem de Deus, levando consigo presentes, o que havia de melhor em Damasco, em quarenta camelos carregados. Chegando aonde ele estava, disse-lhe: Teu filho Ben-Hadad, rei da Síria, mandou-me ter contigo para perguntar-te se sairá vivo de sua enfermidade.	9 And so, Hazael went to meet him, having with him gifts, and all the goods of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he had stood before him, he said: “Your son, Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you, saying: ‘Will I be able to be healed from this, my infirmity?’ ”
10 Eliseu respondeu-lhe: Vai e dize-lhe que ele será certamente curado. Mas o Senhor revelou-me que ele morrerá.	10 And Elisha said to him: “Go, tell him: ‘You will be healed.’ But the Lord has revealed to me that, dying he shall die.”
11 Depois o homem de Deus olhou-o fixamente, de modo que Hazael se sentiu perturbado; e o homem de Deus pôs-se a chorar.	11 And he stood beside him, and he was so troubled that his face became flushed. And the man of God wept.
12 Por que chora o meu senhor?, perguntou Hazael. Ele respondeu: Porque sei os males que farás aos israelitas: incendiarás as suas cidades fortes, passarás ao fio da espada os seus jovens, esmagarás as suas crianças e rasgarás pelo meio o ventre de suas mulheres grávidas.	12 And Hazael said to him, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he said: “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.”
13 Será o teu servo porventura um cão, disse-lhe Hazael, para fazer tais coisas? Eliseu respondeu: O Senhor mostrou-me numa visão que serás rei da Síria.	13 And Hazael said, “But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?” And Elisha said, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”
14 Deixando Eliseu, voltou Hazael para junto de seu amo, o qual lhe perguntou: Que te disse Eliseu? Disse-me, respondeu ele, que serás certamente curado.	14 And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he responded: “He said to me, ‘You shall receive health.’ ”
15 No dia seguinte, {Hazael} tomou uma cobertura, molhou-a em água e aplicou-a sobre o rosto do rei, e este morreu. E Hazael sucedeu-lhe no trono.	15 And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.
16 No quinto ano de Jorão, filho de Acab, rei de Israel, Jorão, filho de Josafá, tornou-se rei de Judá.	16 In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.
17 Tinha trinta e dois anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou oito anos em Jerusalém.	17 He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Andou pelos caminhos dos reis de Israel, como fizera a casa de Acab, cuja filha desposou. E fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor.	18 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had walked. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Apesar disso, o Senhor não quis destruir a casa de Judá, por causa de Davi, seu servo, a quem prometera conservar sempre uma lâmpada na sua descendência.	19 But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of David, his servant, just as he had promised him, so that he might grant a light to him and to his sons, for all days.
20 No tempo de Jorão, os edomitas sacudiram o jugo de Judá e constituíram um rei para si.	20 In his days, Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, and they appointed a king for themselves.
21 Jorão foi a Seira com todos os seus carros, e, durante a noite, feriu os edomitas que o tinham cercado; e os chefes dos carros com as tropas fugiram para as suas tendas.	21 And so, Jehoram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose up in the night, and he struck down the Idumeans who had surrounded him, and the leaders of the chariots. But the people fled to their tents.
22 E assim Edom sacudiu o jugo de Judá até o dia de hoje. Naquele mesmo tempo, Libna libertou-se igualmente.	22 And Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, even to this day. Then Libnah also drew apart, at the same time.
23 Os outros atos e grandes feitos de Jorão estão consignados no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Judá.	23 Now the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
24 Jorão adormeceu com os seus pais e foi sepultado junto deles na cidade de Davi. Seu filho Ocozias sucedeu-lhe no trono.	24 And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
25 No décimo segundo ano de Jorão, filho de Acab, rei de Israel, Ocozias, filho de Jorão, tornou-se rei de Judá.	25 In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel: Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.
26 Ocozias tinha vinte e dois anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou um ano em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Atalia, e era filha {neta} de Amri, rei de Israel.	26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, the king of Israel.
27 Andou nos caminhos da casa de Acab e fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor, como a casa de Acab, porque lhe era aliado.	27 And he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 Saiu com Jorão, filho de Acab, a combater Hazael, rei da Síria, em Ramot de Galaad, e foi ferido pelos sírios.	28 Also, he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, in order to fight against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians had wounded Joram.
29 E voltou então a Jezrael para se curar dos ferimentos recebidos dos sírios no combate contra Hazael, rei da Síria. Ocozias, filho de Jorão, rei de Judá, desceu a Jezrael para visitar Jorão, filho de Acab, que estava enfermo.	29 And he turned back, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For the Syrians had wounded him at Ramoth, fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended to visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he was sick there.
