I Reis, 16

1. A palavra do Senhor foi dirigida a Jeú, filho de Hanani, contra Baa­sa, nestes termos:

1. And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hana'ni against Ba'asha, saying,

2. “Levantei-te do pó e estabeleci-te príncipe do meu povo de Israel. Tu, porém, andaste pelo caminho de Jeroboão e levaste meu povo de Israel a cometer pecados que excitam a minha cólera.

2. "Since I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jerobo'am, and have made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins,

3. Por isso, vou varrer Baasa e sua casa e farei da sua casa o que fiz da casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nabat.

3. behold, I will utterly sweep away Ba'asha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.

4. Todo membro da família de Baasa que morrer na cidade será comido pelos cães; o que morrer no campo, será comido pelas aves do céu”.

4. Any one belonging to Ba'asha who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and any one of his who dies in the field the birds of the air shall eat."

5. O restante da história de Baasa, suas ações e seus grandes feitos, tudo isso se acha consignado no Livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.

5. Now the rest of the acts of Ba'asha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

6. Baasa adormeceu com seus pais e foi enterrado em Tersa. Seu filho Ela sucedeu-lhe no trono.

6. And Ba'asha slept with his fathers, and was buried at Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

7. O oráculo do Senhor, transmitido pelo profeta Jeú, filho de Hanani, fora pronunciado contra Baasa e sua casa, não só por causa de todo o mal que ele tinha feito aos olhos do Senhor, irritando-o com o seu proceder e imitando a casa de Jero­boão, mas também porque Baasa tinha destruído essa casa.

7. Moreover the word of the LORD came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hana'ni against Ba'asha and his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jerobo'am, and also because he destroyed it.

8. No vigésimo sexto ano de Asa, rei de Judá, Ela, filho de Baasa, tornou-se rei de Israel. Residia em Tersa e reinou dois anos.

8. In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Ba'asha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years.

9. Seu servo Zambri, que comandava a metade de sua cavalaria, conspirou contra ele. Numa ocasião em que ele bebia e se embriagava em Tersa, na casa de Arsa, intendente de seu palácio nessa cidade,

9. But his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. When he was at Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah,

10. entrou Zambri e o assassinou, sucedendo-lhe no trono, no vigésimo sétimo ano de Asa, rei de Judá.

10. Zimri came in and struck him down and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

11. Logo que ficou rei e sentou-se no trono, mandou exterminar toda a casa de Baasa, não deixando vivo nenhum filho varão, nenhum parente, nenhum amigo.

11. When he began to reign, as soon as he had seated himself on his throne, he killed all the house of Ba'asha; he did not leave him a single male of his kinsmen or his friends.

12. Desse modo, exterminou toda a casa de Baasa, assim como o Senhor o predissera contra Baasa pela boca do profeta Jeú.

12. Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Ba'asha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke against Ba'asha by Jehu the prophet,

13. Tal foi o castigo de todos os pecados que Baasa e seu filho Ela tinham cometido e levado Israel a cometer, provocando com o culto dos ídolos a cólera do Senhor, Deus de Israel.

13. for all the sins of Ba'asha and the sins of Elah his son which they sinned, and which they made Israel to sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their idols.

14. O restante da história de Ela e suas ações, tudo está consignado no Livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.

14. Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

15. No vigésimo sétimo ano de Asa, rei de Judá, Zambri reinou em Tersa durante sete dias. O exército sitiava Gebeton dos filis­teus.

15. In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the troops were encamped against Gib'bethon, which belonged to the Philistines,

16. Quando o exército, que estava acampado ali, ouviu dizer que Zambri tinha conspirado contra o rei e o assassinara, todo o Israel constituiu imediatamente como seu rei o general Amri.

16. and the troops who were encamped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired, and he has killed the king"; therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17. Este partiu de Gebeton com todo o Israel e veio sitiar Tersa.

17. So Omri went up from Gib'bethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

18. Zambri, vendo a cidade tomada, retirou-se para o fortim do palácio real e incendiou o palácio. Morreu assim

18. And when Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king's house, and burned the king's house over him with fire, and died,

19. pelos pecados que tinha cometido, fazendo o mal aos olhos do Senhor, imitando o proceder de Jeroboão e entregando-se ao pecado ao qual Jero­boão arrastara Israel.

19. because of his sins which he committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD, walking in the way of Jerobo'am, and for his sin which he committed, making Israel to sin.

20. O restante da história de Zambri e sua conjuração, tudo está consignado no Livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.

20. Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the conspiracy which he made, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

21. Então se dividiu o povo de Israel em duas facções: metade era por Tebni, filho de Ginet e queria fazê-lo rei e metade por Amri.

21. Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts; half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.

22. O partido de Amri prevaleceu contra o de Tebni, filho de Ginet. Tebni morreu e reinou Amri.

22. But the people who followed Omri overcame the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri became king.

23. No trigésimo primeiro ano de Asa, rei de Judá, Amri tornou-se rei de Israel e reinou durante doze anos. Depois de ter reinado seis anos em Tersa,

23. In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and reigned for twelve years; six years he reigned in Tirzah.

24. comprou de Semer o monte de Samaria por duzentos talentos de prata. Construiu uma cidade nesse monte e chamou-a Samaria, do nome de Semer, a quem pertencera o monte.

24. He bought the hill of Sama'ria from Shemer for two talents of silver; and he fortified the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Sama'ria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.

25. Amri fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor, mais ainda que todos os seus predecessores.

25. Omri did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did more evil than all who were before him.

26. Andou por todo o caminho de Jeroboão, filho de Nabat e nos pecados com que este fizera pecar Israel, provocando com seus ídolos a cólera do Senhor, Deus de Israel.

26. For he walked in all the way of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and in the sins which he made Israel to sin, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.

27. O restante da história de Amri, suas ações e seus grandes feitos, tudo isso se acha consignado no Livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.

27. Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28. Amri adormeceu com seus pais e foi sepultado em Samaria. Seu filho Acab sucedeu-lhe no trono.

28. And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Sama'ria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

29. No trigésimo oitavo ano de Asa, rei de Judá, Acab, filho de Amri, tornou-se rei de Israel e reinou vinte e dois anos sobre Israel em Samaria.

29. In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Sama'ria twenty-two years.

30. Acab, filho de Amri, fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor e mais ainda que todos os seus predecessores.

30. And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD more than all that were before him.

31. Como se lhe não bastasse o andar nos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nabat, desposou ainda Jezabel, filha de Etbaal, rei dos sidônios e chegou até a render culto a Baal, prostrando-se diante dele.

31. And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, he took for wife Jez'ebel the daughter of Ethba'al king of the Sido'nians, and went and served Ba'al, and worshiped him.

32. Erigiu um altar a Baal no templo que lhe edificou em Samaria.

32. He erected an altar for Ba'al in the house of Ba'al, which he built in Sama'ria.

33. Acab fez também a asserá, irritando assim o Senhor, Deus de Israel, mais ainda que todos os seus predecessores no trono de Israel.*

33. And Ahab made an Ashe'rah. Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

34. No tempo de Acab, Hiel de Betel reconstruiu Jericó. Lançou-lhe os alicerces ao preço de Abirão, seu primogênito e pôs-lhe as portas ao preço de Segub, seu último filho, assim como o Senhor o predissera pela boca de Josué, filho de Nun.*

34. In his days Hi'el of Bethel built Jericho; he laid its foundation at the cost of Abi'ram his first-born, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
